the river

Last Saturday was like the first official day of summer in Portland. To celebrate the coming of the sun my girlfriends and I went to the Sandy River for the day. Sara's mom, Sara, was in town and Genevieve's dog, Ola, was in tow. A couple of boyfriends were allowed to tag along, too. :)

I am so lucky..... I have the loveliest friends......

Just Because

I watched Woody Allen's 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' last night. If there's enough Javier Bardem for ScarJo and Penelope Cruz, then there's enough for all of us, too. Thought I'd share.

You're welcome!!!

Of Coats and Men

I love these coats on these men; each coat seems perfectly matched to it's owner.

Does the coat make the man? Verdict: Oh, yeah. Photos via The Sartorialist.

Got My Lanvins On, But They Look Like Sneakers

Bad ass men's sneakers by Lanvin.

Lovin' that side zip and the thick ribbed cuff. Sexy sneaks, indeed! Sneaks snuck from here.

Clothes Make the Man.

A very professionally made collage to provide a bit of inspiration for the vintage loving guys out there:

Note the cool confidence of each of these well dressed (or in David Cassidy's case: undressed) men! It feels great to dress great.

Lots of new men's stuff up in the shop today! Buy something, okay? I've been working hard. I'm. SO. Tired....
