Friday is #fortheboys.
I assure you, by the time full-on Autumn hits you will be wearing this color. Whatever you want to call it. You can visit Pantonism for a lesson in burgundy… maroon… cordovan… wine.
Richard Chai corduroy blazer and his collabo Palladium boots.
Friday is for the boys.
Lacoste isn’t just about the polo shirt, you know. Peep these rad prints and snazzy kicks.
Get the fringed Bradford here.
These crazy printed shirts!
Fresh colorways on the Barbuda.
That’s why it’s called Lacoste L!VE. Reason for living.

One more Friday #fortheboys post. Here is a very stylish fellow. Cover shoot I styled for ANTENNA magazine. Mos Def was most amazing. (Pun intended. D’oh.)
Wolf Vs. Goat : FW’12 Look Book
Check it out! The FW12 Look Book that I styled for menswear collection Wolf Vs. Goat is up for your viewing pleasure. Lots of great suiting and coats will be available come fall.
How’s that for Friday’s edition of #ForTheBoys for ya?
Friday #ForTheBoys : This one goes out to all the fellas…
I am all about this Bernhard Willhelm tiger stripe sweater. Wouldn’t it make the perfect mod mini dress with tights and boots (or perfect Repetto flats!) See it here in the mens’ runway look #22 from the FW12 collection.
What do you think: #stealfromtheboys or let them have it?
Two brothers who love travel and fashion are good guys in my book. On top of that they make #stealfromtheboys shirts and knits. I stopped in to view the Burkman Brothers FW12 collection and here is a few of my favorite pieces. This season they took inspiration from a trip to Iceland. I know, I’m jealous too. Those shirts are so soft you want to rub them all over your face. Ok, maybe that’s just me.

Wrist Obsession! Springtime means no more heavy coats. Bare arms means more room to show off your latest arm candy. One of my favorite #stealfromtheboys designers is MIANSAI by Michael Saiger. What started off as a menswear accessories brand a few years ago has blown up to a full fledged jewelry collection. Check out the latest colors in these nautical anchor wrap bracelets that I am sure you will want to rock all the way through summer. Get them here.
Thom Browne is known for his snappy suits. Did you know he is coming out with eyewear? From the selection I previewed for fall I think these styles are so dapper. What do you think?
Can you kick it?
Yes, you can! Summer is just around the corner and if you are like me there will be one pair of go-to kicks for those all-day on the bicycle kind of weeks. Here you have it, the new Missoni for Converse Chuck Taylor All Star collection that is dropping tomorrow. You better make moves before you are left in the dust. You know these babies go quick.
Here where you can cop them: Missoni stores globally, Jeffrey, Fred Segal, Aloha Rag NYC and Honolulu.

Oh, yeah, you’re welcome. Enjoy your weekend.
Get on it fellas. While at ANTENNA magazine I always found Korean-based designer Bumsuk Choi’s General Idea to be a quirky yet utilitarian collection. It is filled with humor and excellent details. As usual, there are a few pieces I would gladly steal. Take for example, this stars and stripes jumper that takes inspiration from archival hockey images of the teams in the 1968 Winter Olympics. I don’t know much from hockey but I do know that I want this sweater.
This season General Idea collaborated with Launching M on these killer hiking boots and there are lots of accessories to add to your collections of fitted hats and shades.
Check out the full runway collection here.
Hungover on Easter? Don’t worry, these candy colored mirrored aviators I peeped at the @Mosley_Tribes FW12 preview have you covered in style. No one will know you were out til 4am last night.
Now go ahead, have another peep, my friend.
For similar styles available now, shop the SS12 collection here.
This one goes out #ForTheBoys today. I know the #menswear followers know about @BespokenNYC but here is a taste of the wovens and super lux moleskin blazer they have coming out #fw12. Peep that fancy #footwear while you are at it. Shop the collection here or have it your way with made to measure.

Y’all know I love me some pink. I don’t know what it is about that color. Maybe it’s because it wasn’t forced on to me as child. My Mom was pretty open to let me wear what ever I wanted as a little girl. And by whatever I wanted I mean all the hand me downs that came our way. Life with hippies… but I digress. This post isn’t about that.
It’s about a new iPhone case company I found while I was out at Project LV. The Le Deux metal case by Incipio caught my eye because of the super bright pink that surrounds the phone. When the fine folks offered to send me one for a test run I said, “Yes, Please!” If you are anything like me you drop your phone at least once a day and then you hold your breathe when you pick it up in hopes that it does not have a shattered face. The Le Deux is a brushed metal case with a polycarbonate frame. The frame has just enough of a lip on all sides that there is a bumper guard that protects the iPhone when dropped.
I am not saying that you can get this case and start throwing Siri around. You still need to take care but you can breathe a little easier if she does slip away for a second and faceplants on the floor.
