So I should start by saying that I have by no means forgotten about the blog. I’ve been traveling for my day job over the past three weeks with no days off, and work days ranging from 14-16 hour days. Unfortunately, this leaves me no time to assemble posts. Then in shop news, the first half of our mono shipment was stolen by a postal employee, and so we’ve been dealing with the stress of that and scrambling to get reimbursed and have the items redelivered and posted on the site, because I know quite a few of you were interested in them. Basically, life has been a wee bit stressful lately-ha! I’ll be back in Texas starting Wednesday and will most likely not be back home until the following Wednesday, so posting will be spotty or non existent. We’ve a weather delay today so I’ve got a little bit of time to make this post. See you all again soon!

I know I’ve linked to online shop, My Theresa in some of my cut-and-paste posts, but I’ve never really done a full feature on the site. The German based shopping site models itself after net-a-porter and stocks a delish selection of big name designer pieces, so there’re plenty of gorgeous albiet pricey items to choose from. But hey, who doesn’t like browsing this kind of shop? Eye candy! Anyways, you can view all items in several currencies and they ship internationally
So I guess I’m getting pretty good at this weekly feature thing. Today is a surprisingly nice fall day, given our two feet of snow last week, and it got me thinking about cozy, earth toned outfits (along with yesterday’s post). All this outfit needs now is a cup of spiced hot apple cider. Unfortunately, nothing too reasonably priced, but it’s a nice inspiration springboard for me
Ok, here’s a post for the menfolk since I haven’t done that for awhile and Brannan is busy with other things. South Willard is a menswear shop located in LA that’s all about classic, well-made pieces and an unfussy and sophisticated shopping experience. You can find everything from blazers to handmade pashmina scarves, and the selection is extensive but nicely edited. The shop even carries a few pieces that have been made exclusively for them.
Scarf: $235
Jacket: $667, Vest: $280
Boot: $236
Philadelphia based boutique Joan Shepp has a decent selection of pieces from the avant garde establishment-Martin Margiela, Ann Demeulemeester, Dries Van Noten, Yohji Yamamoto, and Junya Watanabe along with items from other lesser known labels.
