Leftness

I have been eating ON Whey Crisp bars for a long time, mostly because they are one of the few protein bars that don't disturb my stomach. However, about a month ago, they went out of stock everywhere--I'm not sure why, or if it is has been discontinued, but in the meantime I can't seem to find a protein bar to replace it. I want a bar that has high protein, moderate-high carbs, and moderate fats. For reference, here is a link to the ON Whey Crisp bar: http://www.optimumnutrition.com/products/100-whey-crisp-bar-p-272.html

The nutritional info is: 25 G protein; 4.5 G fat; 33 G carbs (low sugar).

There a few bars that I kinda rotate because they are tolerable, but I haven't yet found a good

I've done some thorough research, and the best deals I can find on Buschacres (8.5) are:

Brown Suede for $64 Beige Suede for $70

I already have Grey Suede Buschacres and Beeswax Leather Originals. I'm just looking for another versatile boot to wear with chinos/jeans. I was considering the San Suede Buschacre but I'm hesitant because of the relatively poor reviews that color gets.

Anyway, which of the two above Buschacres would you choose?

I'm skinny, I live in Florida, and I sit at a desk for extended periods, so I like dress pants that are slim and "stretchy" for lack of a better word. I recently bought a navy suit from Banana Republic, and noticed that the material on this particular suit is different from their other suits. The pants are slim, but they are breathable and stretch a bit when I'm sitting. So far, I haven't noticed any permanent stretch in the pants.

The "shell" is 100% wool, but the "lining" is 100% acetate. I assume the acetate is what gives the pants their flexibility, but that's just a guess. Anyway, I was just wonderin

I have a BR credit card, and I just found out today that I've accumulated $60 in Rewards (two $20 coupons, and two $10 coupons). I tested it out online, and I can apply them all at once. Not only that, but I can apply the $60 on top of any discounts (i.e--the 30-40% off coupons constantly offered by BR).

I just started working at a law firm, so I could use clothes ranging from business casual to formal dress.

My question--If you had $60 to spend at Banana Republic, what item(s) would you purchase (assuming a 30-40% coupon)?

I'm just starting out as an entry level attorney. I already have a black leather portfolio but I want a fashionable over the shoulder bag (or at least a briefcase with a strap attachment) to carry my things to and from work, as well as for walking to appointments and appearances downtown. I've done cursory research, just wondering if anyone knows of options on the cheaper side (~$50). I have no preference for material, as long as it looks professional. Thanks for any suggestions!

I have just finished law school, and want to add a suit to my (small) collection. I currently have three suits (navy, black and grey), and I would like to purchase one in charcoal. I just wanted to get MFA's opinion as to whether I should stick with a solid charcoal, or charcoal pinstripe?

Example of what I'm considering: Charcoal vs. Charcoal Pinstripe

I guess a secondary concern is wool type--I've read that worsted wool is better for my profession (law) and climate (southeast US), but I'm still uncertain why it is

I know I missed my one year anniversary, but I don't want to miss the second!

edit: Oh no!

I have wasted a fair amount of time trying to find that perfect slim fitting dress shirt. I have an assortment of shirts in my rotation, but none truly fit the contours of my torso. I am skinny, but fit--my upper torso is relatively broad, so a lot of the slim small shirts pull around the chest. Express 1MX Small is a close fit, but too tight (again, around the chest); other brands like Banana slim, CK slim and Nautica athletic fit are juuuuust a bit too large. Interestingly, Merona slim is the best fit and hugs my body pretty close; but the quality is poor, obviously. Also, the absolutely perfect fit is Kohl's Marc Anthony shirt--no billowing, no pull, BUT the sleeves were tight such that I

I know that it's acceptable to wear burgundy shoes with a black suit, but would it be better to wear black shoes with a black suit? Thanks

I've been meaning to buy a simple kit like this online, but I have a formal event tonight and need my burgundy and/or brown shoes cleaned today. So I need to find some local stores that sell such essential kits and I was wondering if MFA might have suggestions. We have one "decent" mall (Macys/Dillards/Sears/Pennys anchors), Mens Wearhouse, Target, Walmart, etc.

I'm not really sure how to clean my burgundy/brown oxfords--whether I need a specific polish col

I have a few Banana Republic tailored wool pants (such as these ), and I would like to buy the same shoes that the BR model wears. I searched the BR website and found these oxfords. First of all, are they the same shoes that the model is wearing with the pants? Second, is $100 a good price for the shoes (on discount), or should I get similar shoes elsewhere? Thanks!
