Always a blast to go to the SHARP Book for men events – they’ve always been such a blast in the past. Being that it’s literally every man’s kingdom / paradise / mancave / whatever you want to call it, it was always a pleasure to try to pry into the coveted men’s-everythings season to season.

Shoes shined, hair lined, wined and dined (by Oliver and Bonacini’s no less), the event was some sort of end to end glory. Some kind of marvelous if you ask me. Everything from when we stopped in to settle in a Porsche (don’t laugh at our photos, we’re geeks), to leaving with two bags in hand (heavy ones, thanks Mankind!)…this was an event that even a girl’s girl can appreciate.

So I guess there is such a thing as being too fashionably late as I was for the Ezra Constantine show last night at the tents.

It’s too bad because I was really looking forward to what Greta’s brother had in store. I love a good menswear show, and Ezra Constantine is entertaining to say the least.

To compensate, here are some shots courtesy of Toronto Life.

 

Once upon a time, socks would have been the kind of gift you only give to your grandfather, not your better half. Enter Happy Socks. Designed in Sweden, these colourful socks add a little something to your man’s ensemble, but are subtle enough for those still trying to ease into fashion-forward waters. Priced between $13 – $34, orders of four or more pairs get free shipping!

I don’t pretend to know much about shaving my face (thank goodness), but I do appreciate a man whose fuzzy cheeks don’t give me razor burn. Apparently, a baby-smooth face requires a lot of steps, including pre-shave oil, after-shave balm, and a fancy furry brush. Thankfully, all of this is included in this Art of Shaving kit, which is also available in Lavender, Lemon and Sandalwood scents. While a little pricier at $100, can you really put a price on smooth (and not scratchy) kisses?

And lastly, Man Packs. The providers call it girlfriend approved…we just call it easy. Apparently it also gives you more time to slay dragons. The package comes with undies, socks, and…condoms? Well, that’s awkward.

Colourful, happy. I approve. Looking for a spring in your step boys? Check out Happy Socks, a high quality variety of patterns, funk, and style. Lots going on in this photo – would you wear it?

Nice PKG, boys. While the better half of me isn’t able to partake fully (we have hand drawn mustaches for that), Movember is here (and near half clear). For those who are unfamiliar, here’s the coles notes of Movember (as briefed by PKG):

During November each year, Movember is responsible for the sprouting of moustaches on thousands of men’s faces in Canada and around the world.

With their “Mo’s”, these men look to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health issues, specifically prostate cancer. Man or woman, you can join the fight. Supported by the women in their lives (“Mo Sistas”), “Mo Bros” look to raise funds by seeking out sponsorship for their Mo-growing efforts.

PKG is a proud partner for Movember, creating a limited edition Movember stylish case – $5 from each case will go to the cause. Case? Cause. Cause for a Cause?

The Know your Mo Case comes in 10″, 13″, and 16″ (so not just for iPad). Get your limited edition one here.

Happy grow-your-mo-month!
