We have an auntie in the family who is a true style icon, legendary for her ability to pair high-quality accessories with bargain clothing. She’ll wear a Chanel belt with crappy K-Mart pants and come out looking fabulous. I love this approach (and not just because I am secretly a miser). After all, a person can work the same accessories for years while fancy pants will come and go.
So, my miserly friends, if you have limited funds to spend on looking fabulous, for God’s sake put the money into things you can wear over and over. Buy your t-shirts at Goodwill and save your money for the best jeans, accessories, haircuts and skin products you can afford — quality skin products like those from… you guessed it: Obagi.
The Obagi Nu-Derm System is an appropriately pricey combination of creams and cleanser that claims to make your skin act “younger and healthier.” This stuff is about as A-list as you can get and doesn’t come cheap, though it’s thankfully not quite as dear as La Mer. It’s also only available by prescription, so if you are the type of person who likes having a professional to oversee your skin regimen, this product is for you. (more…)

In other words, there’s a paucity of choice when he goes bourbon shopping, so if he decides to write up a review, it will probably be on his current favorite:
