Deep Tea Diver

My skin lately has been a bit wrecked from all the Winter, cocktails and coffee. I am determined to get my luster back with a high flood of water and tea. 

But tea? Tea isn't exactly as fun as making a cup of coffee at my office. We have a Keurig that has options and flavors like Southern Pecan. Tea can't compete with that. 

Until now. 

Now there's a happening little loose leaf tea infuser in the shape of a deep sea diver. What? 

Plus for some reason the Scooby Doo theme song plays every time I think of it

AG Jeans and Liberty of London Floral Print "The Collette" Chambray Shirt

The soft chambray look is here to stay and with the advent of Spring (FINALLY!) here, it's time to soften up to lightweight, breathable fabrics with florals and prints. 





So how excited am I that this structured number from the AG Jeans' lab with one of my personal faves, Liberty of London, is here?

Cuz I can make that camper shirt, convertible sleeve work, honey! 












And LOVE the button down chest pockets! Yes!

End of the Road: Annette Funicello

Oh Annette Funicello, I loved you, if for no other reason than you sang a catchy ass song about how tough it is to be a workin' man



 


Rest in peace! 

Anybody Know the Name of These Flowers?

They're cool, cottony numbers and I added that large ass leaf thingy. But what are they called?

Beyoncé is a megastar, yes, but unlike her sister I never really believed the promotion of her as a fashion plate. 




But DAMN B! 





Work that Jonathan Saunders disco by the seashore look! 

City Life Dictionary: SideWALK!

We New Yorkers are a mobile bunch, relying on our own two feet more often than any place else in America to get us where we're going. Yet we face a scourge of interceptions along the way giggling with maniacal glee at diverting our path. 

Panhandlers. Texters. People passing out fliers to that "Designer" suit sale. Tourists stopping to look up. Bicyclists going the wrong way. On the sidewalk. All of it one big game of Frogger with sneaky snakes, chompy alligator heads and turtles that dip their heads in the water after too long. What's a boy with a mission supposed to do? If only there was that magic vine like in Pitfall so I could swing over all this on the way to work.
