My New Obsession:

DODO Cases for I-pads: Now all I need is an I-pad

It was :)

GPOYW: “See - I’m an athlete” Edition

Evan this is for YOU ;)

It started as a joke between my roomie and I - now it’s just for fun. It’s hard to continuously think of new ways to do it…

Ideas anyone?!? If it’s good I’ll use it…

And I already know what 95% of these responses will be…

Aldo has some great options. These are affordable and stylish - but might not last forever. THESE Ben Sherman for Topman’s are my favorite and only $170! And these Cole Haan’s are not exactly wing tips - but beautiful!

Lightweight Cotton Shirts (like these) or short sleeve button ups (like this) are great options… Also - if possible - try to carry a light jacket with you at all times to throw on when you enter buildings… this helps cover up the inevitable back sweat stain (yeah I said it). You can also keep your entire body cool by wearing light weight shorts and ditching the socks when you need to wear shoes (yes - this will smell later). Light weight madras shirts are also great options as they are specifically designed to draw heat from the body. If all else fails - do what I do - tank tops :)

I’ll call you, “The Hotness”

Why I hate auto-correct…

Just texted my dad this:

“Thanks! Sorry, I meant to call u this weekend, but got busy…”

For reasons unknown to me, my phone auto-corrects “busy” to “bjs”

His response:

“Oh. Good job.”

UGH!

What I Wore to Work Today: Stars and Stripes Edition (sans stars) - As I warned a few months back, horizontal stripes are the next step in the evolutionary track of the button-up. They’re a definite statement piece, so you won’t have to dress it up much. Keep it simple.

Shirt: J.Crew Striped Button Down $78 - If you’re going to jump on the horizontal train (too much?), make sure the stripes are a basic color (blue or white) and are not too wide (or else it will look to much like a rugby). Urban has this great option and ASOS has this awesome version. Choose wisely.

Pants: Seven For All Mankind Slimmy Raw Indigo Jeans $100 (thanks Filene!) - when your shirt is striped avoid whiskering, distressing or ‘wear and tear’ lines in your denim.

Shoes: J.Crew MacAlister Boots $138 - any shoes will work here really… just avoid sneakers - it will take the outfit to a different place. And not a good place.

My stuffed sheep friend also made the pic. And I stacked bracelets, a watch and some silly bandz of yester-year. See - I practice what I preach.
