Curve: James Bond 007 Head to Toe

I just recently watched Quantum of Solace on DVD and it inspired me to do a special James Bond: Head to Toe.

I've always been a big fan of the pieces Mr. Bond wears as he always pulls them off with a sense of style, sophistication and grace. Tom Ford provided the threads for Quantum of Solace, and rumor has it that Daniel Craig wrecked around 40 bespoke Tom Ford suits while filming the movie's action scenes. What a pity. There is a certain look from the film that I want to represent here because it demonstrates how to pull off a casual Bond look that is a little more practical for the day to day. If you've seen the film, I'm sure it will look familiar.

Either way, in a tribute to Room907s Head to Toe feature, here's my attempt:

100 Wines by David Walker


I love when you discover interesting little shops and special places that spark your curiosity and imagination. This past weekend, I found one of the most interesting and fantastic wine stores in Calgary, and maybe even Canada. Situated at the base of Arriva, Calgary's tallest residential condo tower, 100 Wines by David Walker neighbors a great modern Italian restaurant and lounge called Olives as well as Zia's Enoteca, a quaint little wine bar.

Simplicity is the key ingredient to this wine shop's allure. 100 wines are hand picked from around the world to turn simple wine shopping into a wine experience fit for a connoisseur. I was especially interested in the reserve Malbecs and Barolo varieties on offer, but the collection has something for all tastes. The uncluttered atmosphere and simplicity of the space brings a new dimension to picking up that perfect bottle of vino. Kudos.

(New) Bucks

I'm always on the lookout for purveyors of fine footwear and I came across this nice looking nubuck model from Johnston Murphy on my recent trip to Palm Springs.

This style is currently undergoing a renaissance and is an excellent option for a Spring shoe. See what Men.Style.Com recommends here.

This particular model has a clean and classic look to it and is very affordable at a modest $130 US.
