Wanting: The Lover

I’m back from vacay, but I’m not giving up my new found love for Panama hats. Handwoven in Ecuador, Panama hats are classic, quiet luxury, and Brent Black rolls the Rolls of Panama hats. Check that soft, hand-blocked brim of this women’s Panama hat… The Ultrawide

Wearing: The Ultrawide

I bought a wide-brimmed Panama hat part for the fashion, more for the sunblock. That brim is Audrey Hepburn hip, but I prefer breakfast at Hermes… Gatsby Fedora

Hating: Gatsby Fedora

A fedora Panama hat is classic, especially when it’s handwoven and hand-blocked by Brent Black. Unfortunately, while Posh debased the Birkin, douches around the world hijacked the fedora… ]]> http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/07/06/brent-black-panama-hats-k-is/feed 1 Web Snob Links: ‘Cause You’re A Snob Offline, Too http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/06/19/web-snob-links-cause-youre-a-snob-offline-too-12 http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/06/19/web-snob-links-cause-youre-a-snob-offline-too-12#comments Fri, 19 Jun 2009 17:01:27 +0000 Kristopher http://www.kristopherdukes.com/?p=2596 Judith Leiber Clutch 55 Secret Street can’t stand the rain but loves Rx for Brown Skin’s Protect and Defend Moisturizing Sunscreen .

Wanting.

I’ve never been into iPhone condoms — the sex appeal of the iPhone is its sophisticated simplicity — I like it raw. But then I saw these Lapàporter iPhone sleeves, which echo the elegance of the economy of the super-smart phone’s design: a simple sliver of skin becomes extra choice as the shape highlights a rich python… Lapaporter Lamb Case

Using.

I love that Bottega-like basketweave. Bags are a last resort for me, so this Lapàporter iPhone sleeve is great — I can slip a credit card in here for a quickie. Errand… Lapaporter Black & Cream Case

Hating.

We just chatted about how choice rich minimalism is, and here’s a useless bow… ]]> http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/05/01/lapaporter-iphone-sleeves-k-is/feed 0 Web Snob Links: ‘Cause You’re a Snob Offline, Too http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/05/01/web-snob-links-%e2%80%98cause-you%e2%80%99re-a-snob-offline-too-7 http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/05/01/web-snob-links-%e2%80%98cause-you%e2%80%99re-a-snob-offline-too-7#comments Fri, 01 May 2009 14:35:09 +0000 Kristopher http://www.kristopherdukes.com/?p=2424 Givenchy Phenomen'Eyes55 Secret Street gets a preview of RACHEL Rachel Roy’s Fall 2009 collection.

Wanting.

McCaul Goldsmiths crafts gorgeous gold that’s interesting without being distracting. I’m marrying myself with this double diamond ring… McCaul Goldsmiths 18 Carat Forged Gold Ring

Wearing.

I love that this McCaul Goldsmiths ring is a twisted infinity. Wear it with absolutely nothing else on… McCaul Goldsmiths 18 Carat White Gold Pave Diamond Heart Ring

Hating.

A heart feels so obvious after McCaul’s more subtle swirls. Still, McCaul Goldsmith’s worse piece is another jeweler’s best success… ]]> http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/04/22/mccaul-goldsmiths-rings-k-is/feed 7 Francois Pinton Sunnies K Is… http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/04/21/francois-pinton-sunnies-k-is http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/04/21/francois-pinton-sunnies-k-is#comments Tue, 21 Apr 2009 16:47:56 +0000 Kristopher http://www.kristopherdukes.com/?p=2366 Francois Pinton Kelly*N*Unique

Wanting.

Francois Pinton made sunnies for the classic glamours:Cary Grant, Aristotle O, and these frames are based on the originals Francois designed for Grace Kelly. I tried these on — you get a flattering frame that hides half your face… Francois Pinton Jacky2*N*Unique

Wearing.

I wear these Jacky2 frames — based on the sunnies Francois designed for Jackie O — daily. I’ve also got a pair of prescription Aristotles. I put both Francois Pinton frames on the shelf and let them argue… Francois Pinton SavonStrass

Hating.

There’s design that feels retro because it’s an echo of a classic, and then there’s caricatures of fashion thankfully passed. Leave these rhinestoned sunnies to the deranged Dita doubles… ]]> http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/04/21/francois-pinton-sunnies-k-is/feed 1 Latest Luxe Links http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/04/21/latest-luxe-links-5 http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/04/21/latest-luxe-links-5#comments Tue, 21 Apr 2009 14:09:53 +0000 Kristopher http://www.kristopherdukes.com/?p=2374 Samsara Black Vegan HandbagBarneys New York has opened a new shopping emporium in Chicago and Runway To Retail checks out the luxury store floor by floor.

Wanting.

The Dow Jones is a roller coaster, the dollar’s deep in debt, so stash your cash in diamonds and Rolexes. Rolexes retain their value, close to better than real estate. So I’m eying this Paul Newman Daytona. Liquidity aside, I just adore that black dial… Paul Newman Cosmograph Daytona Rolex

Wearing.

Hit up Howard Frum in Chicago if you want a great deal on a used Rolex watch. He’s got another Paul Newman Daytona like this; it’s that thin red band on the dial that makes this watch especially choice… Paul Newman Cosmograph Daytona Rolex

Hating.

A handsome watch, sure. Gold just doesn’t do well on my SPF 150-soaked skin. It’d probably look decent with nothing else on, though… ]]> http://www.kristopherdukes.com/2009/04/08/paul-newman-cosmograph-daytona-rolexes-k-is/feed 0
