Summer starts winding down and that old back-to-school instinct kicks in. You want a new bag. A new outfit. Some fresh supplies. Except now you’re an adult, so your “school supplies” can include a $2,250 speaker and a rare pink banana plant for your home office. Growing up has its advantages.
Welcome to the August Black Book.
Bleu De Chauffe Meline Tote Bag
Over the years, I've tried backpacks, brief cases, totes, and more. This bag from Bleu De Chauffe is my new favorite. Especially this time of year when you need to pack an extra layer.

Studio Underdog Pink Lemonade 02SERIES / Field
August and September are for bright, weird watches. I'm not exactly sure why they feel right this time of year. But they do.
Buy: $1200
Brew Metric - Digital Blend Analog-LED Watch
Speaking of weird watches... Featuring a 30-second countdown and a playful percolating coffee cup animation, this one delivers the perfect shot timing in a stylish, dynamic design.
Buy: $425
The Mick43 Trousers
Camo is having a moment. I'm opting for it in pant form. Throw on any basic tee or jacket with these trousers and call it a day.
Buy: $474
Sul Mu Kim (South Korea) 30
I perform better when there's an audience. Problem is, there's no audience in my home office. Until I met this artist. Now I have a few of his little characters rooting for me from the wall it hangs on.
Buy: $470
Elk Head Clothing Denim Overshirt
I've been taking this Overshirt everywhere lately. It's the perfect weight, styles with just about anything, and it's way softer than your average denim. This is the piece that gets tossed into my purse.
Buy: $198
Band and Olufsen Portable WiFi Speaker
Do you even see a speaker in the picture above? That's the point. This handsome devil blends in to the bookcase or shelf design.
Buy: $2250
Musa Nono Pink Variegated Banana
Remember how I said August and September are for bright, weird watches. Yeah. Same goes for house plants.
Buy: $249
Samsung 65” Class The Frame Series
Football season is firing up. Which is also the same season as weekend binge watching. I'm a little embarrassed and a little proud to admit that I've had the same TV for 15 years. It's time for an upgrade. I think I've earned it.
Buy: $1297.99
J. Press Stripe Button Down Shirt
A collared shirt, but with some personality. The perfect transitional layer from summer to fall.
Buy: $145
Vintage Works DH5738 Chasin' Belt
I finally found a vintage-inspired western belt that doesn't scream "western belt."
Buy: $235
