Let’s talk about all the regrettable decisions you made on New Year’s Eve. Specifically, making those resolutions. But before you go too crazy exercising and being all socially responsible... take some time to do the exact opposite. We won’t tell...
If you honestly think this will be your last 2014 donut, you should make it count. Really count. We suggest the White Truffle Donut, made with Valrhona white chocolate and truffle-infused glaze, and topped with an angelic dusting of white Alba truffles. We also suggest accepting that this won’t be your last 2014 donut.
Sure, you’ll soon be less cavalier about outrageous bottle service bills at various swanky River North lounges. But sophisticated Evanston seafood boîtes—still fair game. So if a $14,000 bottle of 1996 Romanee-Conti Grand Cru is just the Burgundy you need to pair with lobster, fine. You’re just being civilized.
You ensured that your tailor had a very good 2013. This year, you’re going after just a few key pieces. Like, say, a $26,000 sport coat made with ridiculously soft (and rare) vicuña wool from northern Argentina. It’s also available as a $2,000 scarf. In case you’re being budget-minded.
Your friends love your generous spirit. Your accountant, not so much. Before you rein in your check-grabbing ways, one last splurge: a dry-ice-billowing treasure chest filled with a fruity rum punch—accompanied by a bottle of Dom Pérignon and eight straws. It feels good to share.
Cutting back on expensive cigars: a great way to save money... that you can then pour directly into fancy cigar lighters, like this handsome ram’s horn one from Mr. Tom Ford. And we haven’t even mentioned what a great back scratcher it makes.
