The official shopping bag thread ! [Part IX]

[emmanuelgoldstein]

Had the day off today so did some damage. Bought the aunt a Bergdorf Goodman Christmas ornament (she coveted them last year and couldn't bring herself to buy one), bought myself a pair of casual wingtips, ordered 8 new dress shirts from Zegna, and acquired Tom Ford's azure lime fragrance for my first fragrance purchase in about 4 years.

You must try the Italian Cypress and Black Orchid. In my opinion these are the two best fragrances from Tom Ford. The Azure lime is a wonderful fragrance for the warmer months, but in the colder months the two I mentioned are perfect.

I bought the same one almost a year ago and put it in my office for my staff to enjoy, they were complaining about the Nespresso machine which i bought in 2009 because they dislike that coffee. I employ mostly Europeans in my office and in the morning they're addicts of pure arabica coffee "Fort & Corsé " like we say in French so far they're very happy with the Latissima + because in the afternoon they switch to latte cups, I bought a Philips Saeco Xelsis earlier this year for home use, a bit pricey but works wonderfully, i suggest you have a look at that range

Here's mine

Tuscany Leather reminds me of my father and days spent at the Free Masons lodge. Black Orchid Is for females but I think it works for men also. The line is quite expensive but I think it is definitely worth the money. You won't smell like everyone else at the office.

It was expensive, when I was cashing out I looked at my wife and said this is much more than I recalled!

Kilian's is another fragrance that is up there in price but is also worth it. Last time I was at Neiman Marcus they gave me samples of the entire line.

This is one of my shelves of fragrances in my den. I have another two shelves filled.

Emmanuel, how's the nespresso?

One of my favorite purchases. It's great to have a cup before I leave in the morning. I haven't found any negatives with the Nespresso machine. I might purchase another for the office, I currently have a Keurig in the office, but I am thinking of switching it out for the Nespresso.
