Some bad-ass clogs

Biker Strap Clog by Sven

Fall is quickly approaching and one of my favorite shoes for the cooler weather is the clog.  Sven, which has been around since the clog-tastic 1970s, is the maker of classic clogs as well as many cool modern variations, for the entire family.  All the clogs start with a wooden base from either Austria or Sweden.  The shoes are then assembled in the U.S.A. in a vast array of styles and colors. The clogs are available in three heel heights.  They even make boot clogs with shearling lining!  Sven also does custom orders if you can't find exactly what you're looking for within their extensive selection.  And the added bonus is they are actually good for your feet!

All hail the satchel

The Classic by The Cambridge Satchel Company
Even if you are not an anglophile like me, there is no denying that the British have their own unique yet classic sense of style.  From the iconic Burberry plaid to new innovative designers like Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen (may he RIP), Great Britain has contributed a great deal to the fashion world.  The Cambridge Satchel Company is a perfect example of classic British style that holds its own against trendy looks that may come and go.  And their bags are still made in England, in a range of fun colors and various sizes.  They are available at stores in major American cities or through their website.  I can't wait to order mine, if I can only decide on a color!
