[Here’s why.]( And here’s one: You know that confident feeling you get when wearing your favorite suit? Imagine feeling that way about your finances. [Personal Capital]( tracks your net worth and spending for free, so you know where your savings stand and how your investments are performing. [Get started here.]( It’s Friday. Looking for something to switch up your weekend, or to give you an excuse to relax a little? That’s what the Weekend Reset is for. Each week contributor Tim Johnstone pulls together five things to get your weekend started. Could be something to read or watch, something to eat or listen to, or even something to do. Enjoy the weekend fellas. READ: [Consider this your lifehack of the week.]( If there is one thing I don’t do with my phone, it’s actually make calls and such. As in talking. Actually communicating via telephone seems so late 19th century. In the instance when mine actually rings, I deliver a withering side-eye and cuss like a sailor before ignoring it completely. You may have a different relationship with your phone. And that’s all good. I would imagine however, that we are of like mind when it comes to Robocalls. Which means [this is totally relevant to your interests](. With thanks to Joe for the heads up. LISTEN: [Jai Wolf brings big melodies to go with the big beats.](  More of this please. Jai Wolf is a Bangladeshi-American producer who, having worked with Skrillex and other big names in the EDM world has released a[debut collection of his own](. This is electronic music that is warm and embraceable. The title gives away the idea here. The Cure To Loneliness. You have to be working hard to not find comfort in these songs. Yet it all rings true. It feels good. At the dog end of a particularly craptacular day gone by, I stumbled upon this and within minutes I had let my arguments with the day fade away. Not even kidding. There’s an indie-rock feel to some of this in a way that is less moronic than it sounds. EAT: [A different take on Spring’s favorite root vegetable.Â]( [Roasted radishes with Herbs.]( I am fairly flabbergasted at the notion that people roast radishes. It’s not the actual roasting that flabbers my gast, but the idea that in all of my time on this particular orb, I had never run across it or had thought of doing it myself. I am such a disappointment. You, who aren’t be burdened with such failure, are free to enjoy completely. But for reals, this is so good. FISH: As in, adopt [one](. Or [two](. My brother spent some time living at my place this summer, because life. While I was off enjoying a week at a mountain lake, he was goofing around at the state fair and when I returned I discovered a big fish bowl and two goldfish on my dining table. I was introduced to Loki and Thor and when my brother moved out last fall, the fish stayed behind. I knew this was going to happen the moment I saw them. What I didn’t know was how attached I would get to these guys. My previous experience with a state fair goldfish culminated with my father dumping the dregs of his scotch into the fishbowl when I was nine. To be honest, it culminated with a ceremonial flush later that night. I have since learned that even goldfish have personalities. So to speak. Mostly. Having lived with them for a good while now, I have to say that [this article]( and [this article]( do a good job of explaining why I am happy they’re still with me. Photo by [Sri Lanka]( on [Unsplash]( WATCH: [I’m late to this party but what a party it is.](  And by party I mean Western.  An entire anthology of first rate Westerns as only Joel and Ethan Coen could create. You get everything here. All the feels. ALL OF THEM. Because it’s the Coen Brothers, It is laugh out loud funny as well as bark real loud uncomfortable, funny or otherwise. Just don’t get too emotionally attached to the characters. Let’s face it, the American West of the era portrayed here, was not exactly the best of times. It was pretty brutal in fact. And with this as a backdrop, the stories that play out do so in ways that stick with you. The cast includes many Coen regulars along with a few surprises (Dudley Dursley we are looking at you!) including a classic performance from Tom Waits.

[Get started here.]( [Nordstrom Spring Sale – Save Up to 50% off through 4/22]( Surprise. It’s another sale from Nordstrom. Still nowhere near the frequency of other retailers or brands, but Nordstrom HAS been ramping up their sales in recent times. And that’s a good thing for those of us who love Nordstrom. Of all the department stores out there, Nordstrom might be the only one that not just gets it right, but gets it REALLY right. Great 3rd party selection, a huge variety of goods at various prices, and the free shipping and free returns always helps. There’s over 4,000 items in this sale. Not as big as a half-yearly monster clearance. But it’s not some small thing either. Off we go with the picks… [Nordstrom Trim Fit Stretch Wool Tuxedo – $213.98]( ($498) [Nordstrom Trim Fit Stretch Wool Tuxedo]( I mean, I know it’s a notch lapel and most prefer peak or shawl when it comes to evening wear… but… nice price. Especially considering it ships and returns for free. Sold as separates, [so don’t forget the pants](. [Nordstrom Trim Fit Non-Iron Dress Shirt – $32.90]( ($49.50) [Nordstrom]( Staples. Well made staples. 200+ reviews and almost 5/5 stars. Great collars for going tieless too. [Nordstrom Trim Fit Linen Sport Coat – $124.49]( ($249) [Nordstrom]( 100% linen and just butterfly lined in the back. This reminds me that I need to get crackin’ on the best warm weather sportcoats post. [adidas Samba OG Sneaker – $59.96]( ($79.95) [adidas Samba OG Sneaker]( Wait a minute. Burgundy accents. Gum sole. Perforations…. SOMEONE ALERT THE FRUGALMALEFASHION COMMUNITY. This here is an imposter [of their one true lord]( [Nordstrom Trim Fit Flat Front Stretch Wool Trousers – $49.75]( ($99.50) [Nordstrom]( How much? Under $50 for stretch wool dress pants? Not bad at all. Un-hemmed, so, you’ll need to have a tailor shorten them to your specified preferred break. Trim fit. Flat front. [Tissot Blue Dial Chrono – $262.50]( ($350) [Tissot Blue Dial Chrono]( Quartz of course, but Swiss made and from a well known, dependable brand. NOT small. 45mm in diameter. Repeat. FORTY FIVE. [Herschel Supply Co. Novel Offset Denim Duffel Bag – $42.49]( ($85) [Herschel Supply Co. Novel Offset Denim Duffel Bag]( Herschel’s famous “Novel” bag, complete with separate shoe compartment.

[Cole Haan Feathercraft Grand Derby – $142.50]( ($180) [Cole Haan Feathercraft Grand Derby]( Just 20% off, which ain’t much for Cole Haan, but… there’s something about them. Especially that gray suede option? [Marc New York Humboldt Quilted Jacket – $85.70]( ($175) [Marc New York Humboldt Quilted Jacket]( A standard quilted jacket with a surprise inside. Extra insulated thanks to a high-pile fleece liner vest that’s also detachable. Too hot one day? You can ditch it. How prudent. [Cole Haan Original Grand Wingtip – $112.50]( ($150) [Cole Haan Original Grand Wingtip]( Some people love these things. Some think they’re an abomination. I ain’t judging. At least, not this time. I swear Tony Kornheiser wears these a lot on the set of PTI. You can sorta see his kicks when they cut to a wide shot when Wilbon is on the road somewhere. [Original Penguin Track Jacket – $62.49]( ($125) [Original Penguin Track Jacket]( Speaking of PTI. [Penguin Dance]( [Bonobos Cotton & Linen Blend Henley – $48.98]( ($98) [Bonobos Cotton & Linen Blend Henley]( Half off is good. Very good! Fifty bones for a basic henley doesn’t feel as good, but, it’s Bonobos. And there are plenty of Bonobos fans out there. The fit, the finish, etc. More than a few colors to choose from here. [Saturdays NYC Norfolk Water Repellent Duffel Bag – $112.49]( ($225) [Saturdays NYC Norfolk Water Repellent Duffel Bag]( Not bad for a good sized duffel with a bit of saturated color. 20″W x 13″H x 9″D are the dimensions. [Nordstrom Tech-Smart Trim Fit Stretch Check Dress Shirt – $34.75]( ($69.50) [Nordstrom]( From their tech-smart line. 80% cotton, 13% polyester, 7% spandex engineered to be breathable and have plenty of stretch. [The Rail Everett Plain Toe Derby – $66.96]( ($99.95) [The Rail Everett Plain Toe Derby]( Those shoes sure are shoey! Plain toe derby = probably what you’d see in a dictionary if you looked up the word shoe. Maybe. Who knows. Depends on how fancy the illustrator was feeling that day. From a Nordstrom house line. For the less is more crowd. And warm weather, for some reason, makes simple bluchers like these look all the better. [1901 Slim Fit Sport Shirt – $29.75]( ($59.50) [1901 Slim Fit Sport Shirt]( Horizontal Stripes! [Take it away SVP](. [1901 Moro Bar Tack Leather Belt – $29.70]( ($49.50) [1901 Moro Bar Tack Leather Belt]( Like Nordstrom decided to jump on the GAP essential belt wagon.

[Todd Snyder x Timex Watches – $74]( ($148) [Todd Snyder x Timex Watches]( I don’t recall the mod or black jack getting to this price point in the past. And the leather straps? Had no idea that was even an option. Big thanks to Matt S. for the tip here. [Cole Haan GrandPro Tennis Sneaker – $97.50]( ($130) [Cole Haan GrandPro Tennis Sneaker]( Good grief there’s a lot of Cole Haan in this sale. Some suede, some perforated, some not. [Barbour Shadow Duffel Bag – $214.49]( ($429) [Barbour Shadow Duffel Bag]( Moon Mills UK made tweed makes up the exterior. No idea where the thing is constructed as a whole though. “Aye Lass! Where be me ear trumpet and moustache wax?” “Iz in yee plahd bahg ma Deer!” “AH! Fah fuk’s sake Lass. Yee right ahs YOOSuahlllll!” [Thomas and Vine Plain Toe Derby – $66.95]( ($99.95) [Thomas and Vine Plain Toe Derby]( A little funky (look at that lighter blue accent on the brown pair) but perhaps that’s what you’re going for at sixty seven dollars. Five different colors to pick from. [1901 Short Wings – $65.96]( ($109.95) [1901 Short Wings]( Inexpensive, versatile, short wings for spring. From Nordstroms’ younger leaning “1901” house brand. [Hart Schaffner Marx Classic Fit Plaid Wool Sport Coat – $247.49]( ($495) [Hart Schaffner Marx Classic Fit Plaid Wool Sport Coat]( 100% true-blue worsted wool with a simple windowpane pattern. And? It’s made in Canada. [Jack Mason Nautical Chronograph – $109.97]( ($275) [Jack Mason Nautical Chronograph]( Yes, it’s a “fashion” brand, and not some heritage watchmaker. Doesn’t mean they can’t make a nice looking timepiece. [Cole Haan Harrison Grand Cap Toe Oxford – $139.90]( ($220) [Cole Haan Harrison Grand Cap Toe Oxford]( Entry level dress shoes. True oxfords with a cap toe. Probably won’t last you a lifetime, but with reasonable care, should last you a while. Well reviewed. [Lamarque Leather Racer Jacket – $279]( ($525) [Lamarque Leather Racer Jacket]( Not bad for a leather moto style jacket. Leather quality can really vary, so, give it a good strong look once it arrives. If it’s not up to snuff? Send it back. You can do that since it’s Nordstrom. For free. [Asics GEL-Kayano 25 Running Shoe – $119.95]( ($159.95) [Asics GEL-Kayano 25 Running Shoe]( Surprise! What the heck are these doing here? Because if you’re like me, and a bit more dump truck than gazelle, these could change your life. I’m a heavy striker. But I can be fast if I need to be fast. 200 lbs of men’s style blogger can get chuggin’ if need be, and these have helped protect my knees and back and all that jazz for a long time. I lift in these. I kickbox in these. I walk/run the dog in these. Worth every penny. And the new design (especially the white/gray/black) don’t look like hot baby poo when paired up with some warm up pants and a decent track jacket. [Nordstrom Rack: Numerous Hamilton Automatics all for 40% – 50% off:]( [Hamilton]( Why the Nordstrom Rack mention? Because there are a LOT of watches in this Spring sale. Lots of Hamiltons.
