These plain-toe derby shoes from forme were purchased last year. While the design is a basic plain-toe style, the key feature is their slightly rounded shape, making them suitable for both formal and casual occasions. I often wear them with jeans or work pants, and they're a valuable addition to my wardrobe, elevating casual styles. The fit is also distinctive; the last provides excellent arch support, making them very comfortable to wear. The upper is made of fine-grained leather with a high oil content, and it develops a natural sheen the more you wear them. Personally, I think they look even better after they've been worn in than when they're new.

When I need to organize my thoughts, I turn to my trusty MONTBLANC .

MONTBLANC
"Meisterstück" ballpoint pen *Image is of the person's personal item * MONTBLANC products are available at Isetan Shinjuku Store, Men's Building 1st floor, Leather Goods.

This is a ballpoint pen from MONTBLANC 's iconic "Meisterstück" series. I prefer the "LeGrand" size because of its comfortable weight and thickness. I bought it after being inspired by my boss taking notes in a large notebook with a MONTBLANC pen. In today's increasingly digital age, I still need a pen and notebook to quickly take notes and organize my thoughts with diagrams. The "Meisterstück" not only offers a smooth writing experience, but also provides a high level of satisfaction in ownership, making it a companion that boosts my motivation in business situations.
