Spoil Yourself with Levis and Woolrich

February 29, 2012

As we’re sure you already know, tomorrow is National Pig Day, excepting the kosher, halal and vegetarian/vegan communities. It’s a curious holiday: while many activities are planned around the nation to honor the life and intelligence of the pig, other activities are simply designed the eat the pig. Depending on how you celebrate, the pig [...]

Leap into Spring Fashion

February 28, 2012

Check this out: 2012 is a leap year. Tomorrow is February 29th, and this day only comes around once every four years because we have to compensate for the funky revolution of the Earth around the Sun by adding that extra day. And so people were, are and will be born on this day, like [...]

Feel Like a Celebrity in Comfortable Streetwear

February 26, 2012

Television is our medium this weekend. Yesterday it was basketball, tonight the Academy Awards. We don’t have the (mental) bandwidth to engage in live blogging…and we’re really, really far away from the Red Carpet in Los Angeles. Still, Oscar night wouldn’t be complete without some hearty predictions. Someone will thank the troops. At least 12 [...]

Alpha, Camber, and Carhartt: True Blue

February 25, 2012

So, we watched the Kansas-Missouri basketball game this afternoon. And while this is not a sports blog, we want to share the excitement of that game. KU, down by 19 points, comes back to win by one in overtime. They played on the Kansas home court, and the stands were awash in a sea of [...]

Spring Footwear

February 24, 2012

As you probably already know, today is Dragobete, the Romanian holiday celebrating the end of winter and the arrival of spring. Sort of like Groundhog Day…without all that groundhog looking at the shadow stuff. In Romania, of course, this is especially known as “the day when the birds are betrothed”—building nests and mating. For humans, [...]

Stay Classy with Vintage Fashion

February 22, 2012

Go on down to Orchard Street today, and you won’t recognize the place. Seems like it was just yesterday that the pushcarts lined the sidewalks on Orchard, giving birth to individual merchandising in America. This one had a bin of socks, that one a pile of belts. A cart of oranges here, a cart of [...]

Blending Comfort and Self Expression

February 20, 2012

From our “What’s Up With That?” department, do you ever wonder what movie critics do on their days off—do they go see a movie? You ever wonder if the manicurist does her own nails? When it comes to clothing, we may not be exactly what we wear. Still: clothing gives us hints of someone’s attitude, [...]

Stellar Transitional Clothing

February 19, 2012

Tomorrow in history: In 1962, astronaut John Glenn became the first American to orbit our planet. He did it in just under five hours—about how long it takes to get to the Jersey Shore on weekends in high season. The first thing John Glenn said after his spacecraft splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean and [...]

Dockers and Woolrich are Out of this World

February 17, 2012

Touchdown: it’s not just for football. On this day in 1996, NASA’s NEAR Shoemaker blasted off from earth and would become the first spacecraft to land on an asteroid. The asteroid was named 433 Eros, which is about as weird a sexy name for an asteroid as we’ve ever heard. What impressed us, though: essentially [...]

Get Out of the House and into Contemporary Fashion

February 15, 2012

Tomorrow in history…well, this is fairly amazing. On February 16th, 1957, the Toddlers’ Truce got cancelled. And yes, you read it here first. Seems that the British government said that their TV station had to shut down every Monday through Friday from six to 7 in the evening so that all of England could put [...]
