It is that time of year again. The summer is gone. Fall has made its way to most of the country. Apple picking, Halloween decorations, spooky movies, and of course, a rewatch of Gilmore Girls. Not sure why Gilmore Girls is a must watch around this time of the year? Maybe it is because there is something about the autumn feelings that makes us long for Stars Hollow. In any case, the weather has turned and in the last few months of the season, holiday guides are starting to land. Tom Beckbe, a relative newcomer on the scene, dropped their new fall collection, and it is stocked full of classic American outdoors looks that demand we drop the remote and get outside as soon as possible.

Your inner American James Bond

Does this brand have anything to do with James Bond? No. But when we look through the new drops from them, we can’t help but be reminded of the iconic James Bond look from Skyfall that taught us all about the importance of layering. You can almost completely recreate this look with the pieces from Tom Beckbe.

Founded in 2015 by Radcliff Menge, Tom Beckbe took shape from his inspiration from the Southern outdoors and the way he could disappear into the wilderness with his grandfather to learn how to hunt and fish. Starting with their first and most iconic piece, the waxed Tenshaw Jacket, the brand is setting up to be a long staple in the industry with a focus on quality and on functionality. Whether you are wanting to recreate a James Bond look or visit Stars Hollow.

NORQAIN’s new Freedom Collection watches will have you craving a Tuscan vacation
Norqain new Freedom Collection watches are inspired by Tuscany
Norqain Freedom Collection sky blue dial on model

NORQAIN, a Swiss luxury watch brand that is surprisingly young, has just started in 2018 and has added three new watches to its Freedom Collection. These new NORQAIN watches have us dreaming of a warm summer day in Tuscany, drinking wine, stuffing our faces with all the pasta, and walking Italian alleyways. The new dial colors capture the awe-inspiring hues of Tuscany, from a sky so blue you want to take a bath in it to the peachy sunsets and mint gelato. With summer just around the corner, it's perfect timing if you ask us (especially considering we're smack dab in the middle of "April showers bring May flowers").
The Freedom 60 Chronograph Collection

Have we got you booked a one-way trip to Tuscany yet? Well, read through these dial colors and technical specs before you do that, and you'll blend right in with the Italians.

You need this new limited edition Rimowa luggage collection in your closet
The Hammerschlag collection from Rimowa is a throwback nod to a 1966 piece
The Rimowa Hammerschlag collection.

When traveling, you don't want to throw your stuff in a duffel bag and call it a day. You want luggage that will keep your items organized while adding a quiet sophistication to your look. German company Rimowa is the luggage brand to trust your travels to. Rimowa has been in the luxury business for over 100 years, but you won't have to wait that long to check out their new Hammerschlag collection.
Rimowa blends old and new
We love it when a brand takes a vintage piece and modernizes it. The Rimowa Hammerschlag line combines elements old and new without skimping on the craftsmanship the brand is known for.
Behind-the-scenes details

Originally called Gortz & Morszeck, after the two men who started things in 1898, Rimowa was forced to switch production to aluminum-only luggage when the factory burned down in the 1930s, wiping out the other materials. Now, the signature aluminum grooves are a sleek companion for your trip.
The vintage features
What makes the Hammerschlag collection unique is its homage to the 1966 archival piece. It starts with the handle, which might be leather, but the look and design are based on the classic metal version. Rimowa takes things back even further, with each of the limited cases given a Cognac leather tag with an 1898 stamp as a nod to the origins of the company and the city of Cologne, Germany, where Rimowa still keeps headquarters.
The Rimowa Hammerschlag collection
The Hammerschlag collection consists of the Hand-Carry Case, a standard-size suitcase, and the Cabin, your rolling luggage piece.
