F/HOMME # 1 - May 2011

    Recently I haven't been finding any magazines that really intrigue me (other than Homme Essential). However, I happen to find one online that I would probably like to subscribe to in the near future. Its called F/HOMME. I love the images they have in this magazine. Specifically, I like the black and white layout, gives a dramatic look to the overall images. And the images are very editoral... just the way I like it.
Anyway, I just thought I should share this, I'm hoping Chapters will carry this at some point just so I can take a closer look.

Voigtlander Vito CD

I just got back from the camera store and I was so happy to find out that my mom's old voigetlander camera was not broken. Clearly, its no digital camera but I still think it takes beautiful pictures (judging from what my mom showed me). The other bonus is that it doesn't require special film (I was afraid that it wouldn't take the film they have now). Still, the camera guy told me its not as "user-friendly" as the camera's we are used to today. But being the nice guy he is, he gave a crash course in how to adjust it and what settings it should be on depending on the lighting etc. I honestly don't expect to get amazing shots for the first few rounds of film, but I think I'll get the hang of it eventually.

 

Foxtail Keychains -- new trend or just plain weird?

So I was standing at the bus stop the other day, and as I was people watching I noticed a girl who had a huge keychain with a foxtail-like thing hanging from it...
I saw this before but I was surprised to see it in Ottawa. I then started to think if I liked it or not. At this point, I'm on the fence.
I mean its definitely not a terrible trend, but I don't know if it will catch on.
In thinking about this up and coming trend, I started to look for it online. I was kind of surprised to see how high the price point was on this thing. They range from $50 to $85! Its not even a piece of clothing, its barely an accessory (at least in my opinion).

Anyway, I don't think I'll be jumping on board this trend anytime soon. I don't want to be mistaken for a furry creature (even though I can be scrappy ;) )

Pocket watches....not so pocket these days

    So my new favourite obsession is pocket watches. More specifically, I'm obsessed with how its been accessorized these days. I know the classic look involves placing it in a pocket, but why not wear it as a necklace. First, its pretty unisex in its look and second it still looks pretty classy...at least to me it does.
    Just recently, I took a gander at one of my favourite vintage stores and they had tons of them for pretty affordable prices. I didn't end up buying one, I just wanted to see what styles they had. Yet the next time I go I'm definitely going to pick one up...I'm brimming with ideas.
