This time of year, it seems like everything revolves slimming down.  With beach season right around the corner, everywhere we turn the hot topic is how to drop a couple of pounds before summer vacations start.  Since we aren’t a fitness blog, we can’t tell you about the perfect gym routine to get ripped, but what we can do is tell you how to lighten your load when it comes to what you are carrying with you.  While we will be the first to say that a well made wallet is key, this time of year we switch over to a simple card holder.  If you have read Bows & Boats for a while, you know how much we like the Water Buffalo Compact ID Wallet by Coach, well, their Water Buffalo Slim Card Case ($48) is just as great.

Since we tend to shift towards slimmer silhouettes in the summer, a bulky wallet just isn’t a good look for the warm weather months.  Luckily, with 4 card slots, the Water Buffalo Slim Card Case from Coach has room for all of the necessities (ID, debit card, credit card, and business cards).  Currently available in a deep mahogany, and made of high quality water buffalo calfskin, this case is one that looks great from the get go, but looks even better as the years go by.  If you are looking for a quick way to drop some weight, lose the Costanza wallet, and keep this in your pocket for the next few months instead.
