Yo! Simon Woodroffe Sports Oliver Sweeney Shoes

 

By Doshka Harvey

A few weeks ago I attended the preview event for the new hotel in Times Square called YOTEL founded by British businessman Simon Woodroffe.  And, while I found myself mesmerized by this futuristic rest and hangout spot in the middle of Manhattan, I was also quite fascinated by Mr. Woodroffe's footwear while he gave his welcoming speech about the hotel.

Faconnable Canvas And Suede Sneakers

 

By Doshka Harvey

Faconnable_Mensshoes.jpgHe sauntered through the city feeling relaxed - lunchtime date with a friend; happy hour drinks with the guys; last minute Christmas gift shopping for mom.  He got home early to lounge on the couch - feet on the coffee table, no sense of tension.  That's when he realized, he still had on his Faconnable canvas and suede sneakers (approx. $300).  Comfort...he kept them on. 

Address:  Rockefeller Center, 636 5th Avenue, NY, NY 10020, (212) 319-0111

I Love Your Cole Haan's Baby!

 

By Doshka Harvey

ColeHaanAir-Colton-Saddlemi.jpgWomen take notice when a man sports a handsome pair of shoes.  Spot a man in these Cole Haan Air Colton saddle shoes ($198) and you might become smitten.  Good conversationalist, kissable lips, perfect gait, 6-foot-1 and impeccable footwear - soft calfskin with a classic design, polished leather sole and rich black/brown color pattern - this could be the perfect man!  What woman wouldn't want such a gentleman by her side?

Something For The Boys: Fossil Messenger Bag

 

By Doshka Harvey

FossilHarborMessBagm.jpgMen have things they need to carry as well.  When I spotted Fossil's Harbor Messenger Bag ($138) I thought it very fitting for the busy man about town.  Made of cotton nylon and leather, there is room enough for a laptop and then some. Think fashion meets functionality with a manly twist.

Collezione Leather Holdall For Dad

 

By Doshka Harvey

CollezioneLeatherHoldAll.jpg

Be it a gift for Father's Day or any other day, this sleek leather holdall from the Collezione collection at Marks and Spencer is totally hip.

It's the perfect travel and everyday bag for the man on the go with its double handles and shoulder strap.  The lush brown color also exudes manliness.

It retails for £135 (roughly about $200), which I consider quite fair for such a quality piece.  So to those across the pond, I bid happy shopping!

Omega's Aqua Terra for Father's Day

 

By Doshka Harvey

OmegaAquaTerraFragmini.jpg

With Father's Day right around the corner many are probably scrambling to find dad a gift.

My fragrance pick this year is Omega's Aqua Terra cologne for men.

I recently visited the Omega store here in NYC and was impressed by the aromatic scents being emitted from the snazzy bottle.  See the image to your left - check out those lateral windows on the bottle with metric and English scales on them.  Talk about being able to track your fragrance usage!  

A good smelling man can capture our olfactory system.  With Omega's Aqua Terra it's done with Swiss precision and I love it.

 

Price $70-$110

Oliver Spencer for Topman Men's Shoes

 

 By Doshka Harvey

One of the things women always notice on a man are his shoes.  Wear great shoes and you may potentially capture a woman's attention.  Maybe not her heart, but at least, her attention to start.

I am totally feeling these Oliver Spencer for Topman desert boots and oxford shoes.  They feature Oliver's brick red trademark EVA red soles, which I love.

The shoes begin at $150 and the boots for $170.  They can be found at Topman New York (478 Broadway, 212-966-9555) and the Oliver Spencer boutique (330 East 11th St., 212-475-0079).

Beautiful Gilles Marini

 

By Doshka Harvey

You may be familiar with Gilles Marini as a former model and for his sexy role as Dante in the first Sex And The City movie.  Gilles also participated in ABC's Dancing with the Stars season 8, coming in at second place on the show's season finale.

Having moved on to other projects, Marini currently has a pictorial out of himself.  It's the Gilles Marini 2010 Calendar captured by Fred Goudon, an award-winning photographer.

Thumbnail image for Gilles-Marini-cover-mini.jpgSure the calendar is beautiful to look at because Gilles is quite a stunning man, however, it serves a purpose which is a great one.  All benefits from the sales will go to the Maximum Hope Foundation which helps families with terminally ill kids. 

The Gilles Marini 2010 Calendar can be purchased exclusively at www.amazon.com.

 Gilles-Marini-august-mini.jpgFor more information about the Maximum Hope Foundation please go to: www.maximumhopefoundation.org.

Sophisticated Man - Perry Ellis Fall 2010

 

By Doshka Harvey

All4looks.jpg

The Perry Ellis Fall 2010 men's collection is a suave demonstration of what today's man should look like, or at least, aspire to. It is pierced with wools and blended wools, delicate velvets, denim and sateen.  The well dressed man would be doing himself (and his well dressed woman) a great service by having a Perry Ellis moment.
