Tech Tuesday: SanDisk Ultra Fit

Lets all take a look back to the time when the first iPod was released or even some of the first laptops, the storage capacities for either based on today's standards are quite laughable. The disk sizes might have made sense for gadgets that relied on cloud storage, but that didn't exist back in the day. Now, we look out into the tech landscape and its hard to come across anything smaller than 8GB, and that bring for the smallest smart phone or music player. Moore's Law seems a little outdated at this point in the tech evolution, especially when data storage companies like SanDisk are stretching the bounds with their new Ultra Fit collection of USB products. On a flash drive the size of a thumbnail, they found a way to squeeze 128GB of storage (the same size as a MacBook Pro circa 2009) and with some rumors about a 256GB option soon; that's just some new level of crazy that is absolutely necessary for professionals on the go!

Check in tomorrow for a style piece that needs to be in your closet and next Tuesday for some more exciting tech!

Threads for Thought: Neckwear, Linen Style

With temperatures beginning to sore, finding ways to stay as cool as possible while still maintaining some level of style. Because there's no publicly acceptable way to trot around shirtless and no way to justify rocking shorts and a tee all summer long. The key to cool is linen, and a simple way to adopt this wonder fabric is through neck wear.

Linen ties are a great way to maintain a well put-together look without putting a sweat inducing strangle hold on your outfit. Silk is the classic choice when it comes to neck wear and is an all-purpose, all-season option, but linen has some a leg up this summer. Designers everywhere have jumped on the train pumping out exciting colors, beautiful plaids, and explosive texture with linen, giving you a plethora of options to choose from. One of the most exciting looks are slubby stripes, but don't shy away from knitted options that feature some extra pattern or texture!

Wardrobe Essential: Olive

In the menswear world, blue reigns king with some neutral supporting cast members like tan and grey to help fill in the gaps. Some other colors get some love here and there as seasonal staples, maroon for example during the fall and winter, to change things up a bit.

Spring/Summer

One color that doesn't get the love it deserves is actually one of the simplest to wear, and it transcends seasonality and trend turbulence, working year round in your wardrobe. Olive can be the earthy highlight of a fall or winter look or the staple piece in a summer ensemble, the moral of the story is that its a color that needs some more appreciation.

Fall/Winter

Now even though this is a yearly shade, right now is the best time to stock up on this shade thanks to all the safari/military influences that are so popular this summer. Lightweight linen suits and sport coats will work now, but maybe a tropical wool will help to bring this olive option through the colder months. Cargos are another great piece that can be found in olive along with the ever popular safari jacket, both timeless and rugged. Keep an eye out for some key pieces this summer and pair it with any of the other neutrals for a shockingly put together look!
