If you needed more evidence that many may be wasting their money on vitamin supplementation:
Vitamins Lack Clear Health Benefits, May Pose Risks - Forbes:
"“Although available evidence does not rule out small benefits or harms or large benefits or harms in a small subgroup of the population,” the writers conclude, “we believe that the case is closed — supplementing the diet of well-nourished adults with (most) mineral or vitamin supplements has no clear benefit and might even be harmful. These vitamins should not be used for chronic disease prevention. Enough is enough.”"

"How, then, to negotiate the two different, but equally vital forms of transport? Seoul-based designer Lee Myungsu thinks he has an answer. A car owner who often commutes to his studio by bike, Myungsu devised a backpack that amplifies a cyclist’s visibility on the road. The SEIL bag (pronounced Zail) lights its wearer up and indicates to surrounding traffic in which direction the cyclist is headed--no dweeby, though very important, hand signals required."

Where to Buy the Best Socks Online, Part 1: Power Socks | Modern Fellows
A note on sock length and dress attire
"Some traditionalists will scoff at the notion of wearing mid-calf socks with a suit. PutThisOn, for example, instructs that, “with anything like a coat and tie, there should be no other option but over-the-calf.”
It’s a hard rule to follow, as many manufacturers have focused on designing mid-calf or shorter length options, including dress socks, to accommodate men’s preferences as well as for cost reasons. (Longer socks can add 25% or more to their cost of manufacturing.)
A better general rule is that socks should not be so short as to permit skin to show between your sock and trouser when sitting. High-quality mid-calf socks — including all of the mid-calf options reviewed in this article — stay put and ought to be appropriate for most men to pair with suits."
Parisian Gentleman – The Well Dressed Rebel — Seven Things to Look for in a Suit

Advanced style may not come easy, but you know it when you see it. From Rose Callahan’s upcoming book, “I Am Dandy, the Return of the Elegant Gentleman.”
Excerpt:
"The natural question at this point is: where does one go next– after the mechanics of suiting are understood and the spirit of dressing well is globally known?
Taking a cue from Rose Callahan’s book “I am Dandy”, when we come into our element in terms of dressing well, it is then that we can scale the wall of freedom and unique self-expression…forgetting about boundaries and instead shifting towards the sphere of intuitive dressing. Yes, ” First learn the rules, and then break them” could not be more freely applied at this point of progression.
But as we tap into our creativity in the way that we dress, we notice that there are two types of creativity:
* creativity for the sake of creativity, or
* creativity that expresses an inner emotion.
Creativity for the sake of creativity can become a sad affair when dressing becomes more of a dog-and-pony show, rather than an act of sincere expression.
