Good news…

… pour les hommes.  One of the best men’s footwear lines, Generic Man, has come out with a less expensive line of shoes that are currently available at Urban Outfitters.  Also discovered this Etsy shop which has some nice vintage menswear.

Blah

Sorry for the lack of posts… not feeling inspired by much on the web…   Also, getting ready to host Thanksgiving at our place this year with friends.  I hope to post more gift ideas as they hit me, or rather, as I stumble across them slowly.  🙂   Here’s one Etsy shop that I suggest you look at… I kind of love everything.  She’s made it around the blog circuit a lot lately, so I wouldn’t be surprised if her prices go up.

Nice

This is a cropping of an image from Face Hunter… I love this necklace!  Wish I knew who made it.

Ok, so these are booties, not boots, (perhaps a small technicality) but I love/want them…

Apolis FW08

A nice line for you gents.  Also, my friend Pat is the model in these photos!  So weird to come across lines that friends have modeled for.

Michelle Obama’s choice on Tuesday

So… I am wondering what you all thought of Michelle Obama’s dress on Tuesday.  I frankly was surprised by her choice of this Narciso Rodriguez dress… I didn’t think that it was very photogenic, nor was it terribly appropriate.  She’s made great dress choices thus far, in my opinion,  but wasn’t too keen on this one.  What was your impression?

Aurelie Bidermann

I love these two necklaces from Aurelie Bidermann that were featured on Style.com (very different from what’s up on her site at the moment).

Nyg?rds Anna

These looks from Nyg?rds Anna absolutely capture the looks I’m going for this fall.  Lovely.

Common Projects

People make such great shoes for men these days.  I’m a little jealous.

Sandra Backlund SS09

I featured Backlund’s sculptural knits a while back. Here are some looks from her SS09 collection.
