PICK OF THE WEEK: PINTEREST

We, like most of you, are not immune to the occasional lull during the work day.  But, instead of twiddling our thumbs and playing fetch with our pal Carter, we`ve decided to work on keeping you entertained during the lulls in your work day. We recently created our very own Pinterest  boards for you to look at when you`re bored.

Here, we show you where we get our inspiration from, as well as stuff that we just think is cool and interesting. You`ll find food, travel, gadgets, and of course, things of the sartorial variety—all things that make up a Simon Carter man. 

It took us a moment to figure out what all of the fuss was about, but once we got started, we became slightly addicted to pinning. We suggest that you get on board (Oh, unintentional jokes), but approach with caution, because a lull only lasts for a moment, and you may lose track of time when you`re on pinterest. Stay diligent, friends, and avoid getting stuck in the pinterest vortex—all of our boards will still be there when you get back.

Be sure to have a look, as we will be pinning away. Check us out HERE, and be sure to follow us!

FEATURED IN: TORONTO LIFE

Toronto Life recently showcased some of the most stylish shopkeepers on Queen Street West, and our very own dapper gent, Kane, was featured! He was even noted as a favourite among the shopkeepers photographed, because of his " purple blazer with a patterned shirt and pocket square."

We've always been a fan of mixing patterns and colours, so it was certainly nice to get a bit of a nod in that department. It was also really great to be featured by Toronto Life, so a big thanks to them!

PICK OF THE WEEK: THIS WILD IDEA

We here at Simon Carter love a good story of a man and his canine pal just as much, if not more, than a well-tailored suit. Well, maybe we love them both equally.

All photos, via Instagram.

This week, we stumbled across one of the most entertaining and adorable instagram accounts we think we've ever seen: thiswildidea. It's essentially a photographic diary about Theron Humphrey and his wonderful dog, Maddie, who he rescued from an animal shelter in Altanta, Georgia. They travel around together, documenting their adventures, which lead to a series of photos called Maddie on Things.

Maddie on Things has since become a book, and even an iPhone app, where you can place Maddie on things that you photograph!

As well as being a message that if we can, we should adopt pets and take them into our loving homes, we think that Maddie on Things is a great reminder of all the fun times our pups bring to our lives. We think we might give our buddy Carter and extra treat or two today, just to show him we care.
