This week's dose of inspiration comes from down under. A long wait has come to an end as my dear friend and one of the most best-dressed gents there is - Christian Kimber - launched his new collection of footwear (and accessories) called The Passport collection yesterday.

The sale season is on and Norwegian Berg&Berg - also a DLA-partner -just this morning started their seasonal sale.
