It's tough to find a good belt; well at least a belt that you want to wear and wear again. So blame it on laziness or the desire to just avoid dealing with it at all - I just skip belts all together. My tailored pants don't come with belt hoops and I don't need a belt to hold my jeans up.

But when I come across one that catches my eye, I think about just how I am going to incorporate it into my everyday wardrobe. This skinny black leather piece has all the trappings of a belt that provides the right amount of edge and detail.

The hook clasp closure hooks into the stacked closure holes easily to create a slight bulge that adds to the charm of this belt. The 4 complimentary studs make this just right for your favorite pair of jeans.

Get this Marc Jacobs Clasp Closure Belt for US$225 at Barneys.

Trunks For Charity

In conjunction with Louis Vuitton's Asnieres division (the made-to-order luggage arm of LV), the French fashion giant has invited (among others) iconic photographer Annie Leibovitz and art world bad boy Damien Hirst to create one-of-a-kind pieces.

Inspired by her job naturally, Annie Leibovitz has op-ed for a canvas backpack with microfiber compartments for her photography equipments. Damien Hirst has requested for a black trunk lined with blue microfiber and multiple slim drawers, designed to hold surgical instruments. Holding surgical instruments is not something you hear of everyday - it's intriguing and bad-ass.

Marc Jacobs has asked for a travel trunk for his 2 bull terriers. With a wide door, large vents and space for a photo of him and some clothing article of his to help calm his beloved pooches while they travel; this has got one of the best ways man's best friend can travel.

The pieces from this collaboration will be auctioned off at Sotheby's in London on November 17 to aid the Red Cross.

Marc Jacobs Ribbon Trim Shirt

Marc Jacobs Ribbon Trim Shirt I enjoy double duty items. Ones that take you through casual days and dinner dates. Think of how handy they would be if you happen to have 2 dates on the same day. You don't have to head back to change. Not that I would know - because I don't believe in double-booking. But that's another story for another time.

Simplicity is something else I appreciate. And so are details. Which is why I drawn to this shirt. I've been in the market for casual shirts as long as I have for tees and I like this one.

The white and silver contrast is simple and yet eye-catching. The grey ribbon trim provides a sleek hidden placket and the contrast collar gives a dose of detail that will look great with both summer shorts, jeans and tailored pants.

You could either shorten this and wear this untucked or tuck it in for a night on the town with denim and dress shoes. Either way, this is one piece you'll find many occasions for.

Get this for US$500 at Aloha Rag.

Marc Jacobs Fur Boots

This boots from Marc Jacobs have faux fur trimmings sticking out and screaming for attention. I believe you could get a similar product by hanging around your neighborhood's pet groomer and collecting everything that falls to the ground and a tube of super-glue. I don't think it has any practical usage except to induce double takes and raised eyebrows. This looks like someone skipped 9 appointments with their waxer and went out displaying their unkempt bush of pubic hair. And that is never a good look. Find this at Zappos Couture for US$384.80.
