Okay.. that’s a bit harsh. I don’t hate the summer, I like it. The beach, the sun, tanning, barbecues…. but I love clothing, the more the merrier. I love the Fall/Winter/Spring, that’s when you can bring out all your accessories, layer your shirts and sweaters, bring out that scarf you’ve been dying to wear, gloves, hats and boots. You just can’t do any of that in the summer. Especially in New York, the weather just won’t permit it.

Now, I went shopping a few days ago, bought some Long Sleeve V-Neck Sweaters (or Jumpers as they would call in London) and several Button-Down Sweaters. Getting a jump start on fall fashion? Yes and No. I’ll be escaping to London this summer and according to several almanacs, the weather in London is similar to San Fransican weather; warm and bearable during the day… cool enough to wear a sweater at night. I’m looking forward to it. Think about it. Weather like such would really have to exercise the style portion of your brain. Having to prep outfits for different temperatures at least two times a day… I’m up for the challenge!

Okay, fine. I don’t hate the summer. Why’s that? That’s when all the Fall/Winter stuff is on sale :)

So gentlemen, I hope you’re having a grand time on the beach and flip-flopping about the city… but be ready… Fall’s around the corner and I expect all of you to be dressing sharp!





[Cool] This just made my day…

So there’s a new art installation put in New York and London.
It’s a Victorian inspired piece. Looking to be a telescope that plunges into the ground from London through the Atlantic Ocean and pops out of New York City.
On both ends, viewers can see one another… real time.

The Telectroscope will be on display and open to the public 24 hours a day in London and New York until June 15. Artichoke is arranging requests to synchronize special reunions between friends and family or, the company hopes, maybe even a marriage proposal.
