Green With Envy





Green is the theme this spring! I want these three from the online shop Apolis Activism. Since Apolis is huge on philanthropy work, it'll make it easier for me to spend the green on these green goodies! blah blah blah...just an excuse for me to shop! No, but seriously, check out their stuff guys. The company keeps it simple, casual and relaxed.

JF Chen



People ask me all the time if I miss Los Angeles. I do miss a lot of things about it, especially JF Chen's trove of whimsy and all things, well....primordial on Highland Ave. Check out 1stdibs article.

The Ink Pad



The Ink Pad on 12th St. & 8th Ave is packed full of stamps. I love skulls and crowns, so I walked out with this skull stamp and the crown stamp along with some others.

Man Bag







During my recent sun worshiping, shell fish fest, cucumber martini sipping, bike riding, and beach travels to Provincetown, MA. ( Sigh, I want to go back!) I couldn't resist stopping off at a little store on the Commercial St. strip called MAP. By far, it's the best store in P-Town. We all know P-Town is for the gays, and the gays love shopping...but this little town is really just known for it's parties, bars, and food. Since I am not much of a party boy (gone are those days) All of you who know me best, know that shopping is always on the top of my list before any drunk fest, especially when it includes the likes of man accessories...BAGS, BAGS, BAGS! Map carries the Japanese, Porter Yoshida bag line. How the Japanese know how to construct a bag!! I've been searching for the perfect back pack...one with function, simplicity, style and detail. I love everything about this one, and being the bag whore that I am, I was sold on the addition of the handle straps to be used as a tote! So, even though this one is a back pack and looks "manly", it contains a little sass as well...the perfect man bag.

Too Good To Let Pass By



I don't have a whole lot of time to go shopping these days, but this weekend I found myself in the SOHO area, and the new J Crew's men's shop looked too good to let pass by.

The new store has a raw aged vibe, pairing some of the original historic structures from the 1800s with unvarnished barnwood knotty pine paneled walls and bare plank flooring. The space is reminiscent of a cross between a tailor shop from the 50s and someone’s library. Random yet beautiful paraphernalia, such as a collection of vintage locks, that seemed to be curated or found instead of bought adorn the space. In the back of the shop, there’s the Suit Shop, which plays with an interesting store within a store concept, and it houses J. Crew’s signature Ludlow and Aldridge styles alongside a vintage tie bar and high calibre shirting. The historical original storefront and interior design paired with a meticulously selected array of items draw the entire space together into a reminiscent narrative.

One of the most delightful aspects of the new store is the plethora of exclusive collaborative pieces with some of the most renowned and skilled menswear companies such as Russell Moccasin shoes, Thomas Mason shirts and Alden oxfords. Other than heritage brands, J. Crew has also brought in edgier, but nevertheless high quality labels such as Mister Freedom to collaborate on some key pieces and accessories.

Topman Opens Shop!




It's finally here! Topman. The British clothing store opened it's first shop in the U.S. yesterday in New York's SOHO. unfortunately, I'm stuck in my apartment all day and can't check out the reasonably priced Brit duds due to a horrible cold!! As soon as I'm feeling better, I'm off to Broadway and Broome for some summer clothes! Be sure to check out the site. You can order on line!

Is It Spring Yet?!



Being one who really does enjoy the cold wet weather (um, that's why I'm in New York), I'm actually desperately looking to shed some weight...the weight of all these layers of scarfs, vests, cardigans, jackets, and gloves for more freeing, light, and colorful clothes. Well, the real truth is I just want to wear Tom Fords Spring/Summer line! I love a suit that hugs the body. The colours of Tom's Spring/Summer collection make me want to weep - their bold without being too flashy...digging the separates too! I'm feeling the neutral jacket with a colour pop for pant, and a pinch of colour around the neck - tie or a sheer scarf. That white shirt wearing hairy chested Mr. Tom Ford has made this boy very happy. I'm ready for my spring fling with Tom... that's with his clothing of course! Oh, and his fairly new shop on Madison Ave...Gorgeous! That's a whole other post, just on the interiors alone.
