Attn: Cerbero Double Monks On Sale

Cerbero is back and fully loaded on Yoox.  If you head on over there now you can pick up some nice double monks for $165-$175 before shipping.  I'll admit, the Italian shoe brand's quality is tad bit questionable - I've read first hand accounts mentioning how great Cerbero is for the price and I've talked to people who have returned the shoes the moment they got their hands on 'em.  Ultimately, I prefer to judge for myself and since Yoox has a pretty good return policy I took the risk by scooping up a navy suede pair (pretty much the only double monk colorway I've wanted, but had yet to get my hands on).  I like the natural toe on these and even though I could do without the heel stitching, this is a damn good deal.  There are also options in black calfskin and brown suede so regardless of how you want to wear these you should be good to go.  Also, Yoox has some incredible stuff on sale, both shoes and otherwise, right now so it wouldn't hurt to browse a little when you've got some free time.

Watchdogs

There are few sartorial purchases more satisfying than a new pair of summer hardbottoms.  You know, the kind of shoes you can dress up or down, ditch the socks for and just generally stunt in all summer long.  For those already rich in bucks and saddles you may want to head over and check out the remaining Cerbero joints over at Yoox.  It's tough to turn up a lot of information on Cerbero, but from the various forum testimonials I read it seems as if the Italian brand has a decent enough track record especially when you factor in Yoox's fire sale pricepoints and liberal return policy.  The suede brogues and desert boots look especially tasty and should link up with your S/S bottoms without too much effort.  From deep navy hues to easy beige the colorways pretty much range the spectrum from understated to wonderful Italian GTH style.  My Italian is pretty spotty, but Google tells me that "cerbero" stands for "watchdog" (i.e. Cerberus) which makes perfect sense in the context of the colored suede numbers - people will be watching your dogs no doubt.
