Spier & Mackay Slim Fit Dress Shirt Review

There are lots of shirt companies out there, all offering their unique strengths and weaknesses. Still, if you’re a guy looking for a well-made, quality dress shirt, in a nice slim fit, and some nice, substantial collar options (not the tiny skimpy ones that seem so trendy nowadays), there are fewer options than you might think — especially if you don’t want to break the bank...

Zara Haul Try-On & Review

I have been a Zara hater for a very long time. My general qualm with Zara has always been that their prices are completely unjustifiable.

BirchboxMan Review 4.0: The Holiday Box

I’ll be upfront and honest — this is the first BirchboxMan box that was disappointing for me. I did not love anything in this box, even though I got a special bonus item. But hey, they’ve been real solid the past three months so they certainly deserve an “off month” every once in a while...
