Slush and Salt
Most of us are familiar with that trifecta of winter-woes that is slushy walkways, excessively salted footpaths, and over-heated buildings. Having to undress, layer after layer, upon entering from out of doors is quite the annoyance, but there are more permanent effects as well.
Gender Bender – Tom Ford Womenswear
One of the most highly-talked-about collections in the recent slew of women’s fashion shows has been the Tom Ford’s first eponymous womenswear collection, and I must say it’s interesting. I’m not sure it’s my favorite of the women’s collections, but it did get me thinking about menswear, womenswear and the relationship between the two.
Pitti Inspiring
Well, it’s that time of year again. Fashion shows, Pitti Uomo, &c. have the fashion press blogging, tweeting, and photographing more than any reasonable human being would think possible. And I’m certainly not complaining. The only things I’m a little bitter about is that I’m stuck here in the States instead of roaming the lovely streets of Florence.
A Note on Notes
So with the holiday season winding down, now comes that partner to gift giving and receiving – the thank you note. Some people have allowed this courtesy to fall into the digital basket, but sending an email just doesn’t do it for me.
Wish and Wait – Dashing Tweeds Cap
Does anyone else have that one item they really wish they could wear? No matter how hard you might try, it just never seems to look or feel right, but for some reason you can’t help yourself every time you walk into a shop? No fear, for me it’s the cap.
