Thrifty Flavors: Sperry Top-Sider Classic Boat Shoe

The weather is warming up (depending on where you are) and in a couple of months, it's shorts and tees and barbecues and boat rides on the weekends. That said, there's no better shoe to wear on a boat than a pair of boat shoes.

This dark navy pair will get you through such summer rides with both style and practicality. The white lace makes for a perfect contrast offering a classic form of detail - something that is always appreciated. Wear this with shorts or rolled-up jeans for a devil-may-care vibe that goes perfectly with that ice-cold margarita in your hand.

Get this Sperry Top-Sider Classic Boat Shoe for US$75 at Barneys.

Salvatore Ferragamo Leather Card Case

I used to think it was so cool to have a fat wallet - well, I thought it was cool to store expired credit cards, receipts and vouchers in a sports wallet (the kind with Velcro straps). I was 7 then.

Things are certainly different now - I don't carry my parents' expire credit cards around, for starters. And these days, it's the lesser; the better.

This brown leather card case is certainly right for moments when you need some personal trimming. Trim the fat, bulky and op for something clean and classic to store you essential cards. The dark shade of brown is evergreen and will go with everything.

The mini faux-clasp adds a dose of charming detail that will again, stand the test of time. With 4 card compartments, this piece will help you trim the fat off your wallet in a chic second.

Get this Salvatore Ferragamo Leather Card Case for US$180 at Barneys.

Kiehl's Creme De Corps

This is hands down one of my favorite moisturizers. It is rich, glides on smoothly and visibly improves skin. The no-fragrant formula ensures you smell like you.

You'll feel an instant smoothing effect after the first application and with continuous use, this will reveal soft, healthy, happy skin. The light orange hint comes from natural beta-carotene that provides antioxidant protection to fight daily environmental aggressions.

Cocoa butter that melts at body temperature lubricates and softens to relief dry, dehydrated skin. I take this with me on every winter vacation and it is a skin saver worth relying on.

Sesame oil gives this body lotion its silky texture and allows rapid absorption into dry skin cells. With multiple size options, you can take this anywhere.

I always get the 1 liter pump bottle every time because it is more cost-effective in the long run. So your skin and your wallet will thank you.

Get this for US$26.50 (8.4oz/250ml) at Kiehl's.

Rick Owens Leather Jacket With Ribbed Hemline

Leather jackets are one of those pieces that you will wear for life. If not for decades. A good quality one will transcend time and give you mileage that warrants its 4-figure price tag. If you're slamming down such dough for a piece of clothing, wear it with everything. Dress it up or down; wear it for all events and take it everywhere.

This high collar leather jacket has all the trappings of a solid investment piece. Its clean lines and structure gives this an evergreen feel that will always remain cool. The simple zip front and side pockets make this a fuss-free piece while the zippers on the sleeves provide the platform for you to add an extra dose of biker-chic toughness that I just can't get enough of.

The vent and ribbed hemline detail at the back makes this already incredible piece stand out from the sea of leather jackets. The dark grey ribbed detail offers a contrast that is unique and restrained at the same time; making this a serious contender for your hard-earned dough.

Get this Rick Owens Leather Jacket With Ribbed Hemline for US$2748.28 at Browns.

Lanvin Ribbon Collar Jacket

There's something to be said about a tailored pinstripe jacket. The light stripes add a dash of dressy-ness and with proper execution, can elevate an outfit to a whole other level.

This single-breasted jacket will do just that. The classic shape will stand the test of time while the ribbon collar adds a sliver of delicate detail that will always be appreciated. Rough this up with jeans and sneakers for a nonchalant cool vibe or dress this up to impress. Either way, you have a winner on your hands.

Get this Lanvin Ribbon Collar Jacket for US$1960.20 at Matches.

Keri Long Lasting Hand Cream with Vitamin E

I am quite particular about having hands so I wash my hands quite frequently throughout the day. Before I eat, before grooming, after I touch the family dog etc. That dries up my hands pretty quickly so having a good hand cream is essential.

I discovered this great hand cream a few weeks ago and I have been anamored ever since. My staple before this was the Neutrogena Norwegian Formula Hand Cream, Fragrance Free. I still swear by that but I have been using the Neutrogena one for years and I like to shake things up a little. So this Keri Long Lasting Hand Cream with Vitamin E has become my new staple.

The beauty of this is that a protective film still remains after a wash or a couple so if you ever forget to reapply or for whatever reason, your hands still feel soft and moisturized. The texture is wonderful too and it leaves my hands soft, smooth and really comfortable after every application.

Vitamin E protects your hands while offering antioxidant protection. As soon as I realized how good this was, I went back to the store to buy a few more tubs. The super afforable price tag is just icing on the cake when a product works this well.

Get this Keri Long Lasting Hand Cream with Vitamin E (4oz/113g) for US$5.49 at Drugstore.com.

Maison Martin Margiela Leather Sandals With Toe Strap

With the warmer months approaching, it's time to look forward to Spring/Summer footwear. If I have to state the obvious, a great day out with the sun beaming and a light breeze demands dining outside and when most restaurants abhor flip-flops, sandals are a stylish alternatives especially if they look like this pair.

The thick leather straps lend a chic and masculine feel that will look awesome with tailored shorts. The simple buckle design and solo big toe loop gives a slight gladiator feel that is still current and desirable. For easy days outdoors, you can't do no wrong with this pair.

Get this Maison Martin Margiela Leather Sandals With Toe Strap for US$387.91.
