RUN there!!

when in Paris,see this shop!!!!


i especially love the patchwork floor pillows, cots, hats and crochet applique polos

a LITTLE poplin trim with printing

this isn't a WANT, but what i NEEDED

so i'm being surprised with a 4day trip to the south of France-MARSEILLE!! i didn't pack a swimsuit and there was none to be found in a big guy american size-this is what i HAD to do-hope it works!!

Trapunto Stitching

i have been a fan of TRAPUNTO i guess since GEOFFREY BEENE and GIANFRANCO FERRE-i've seen it used a lot while i've been researching Hausa Outfits and think i like it in doses.

spell STOOL

Sacha Grewe's handcrafted mdf stools come in 147 colors-including chalkboard finish!!!

Hausa pants

so when i left the apt today-which btw is above a bar/horse betting parlor-there was the African dude in a shirt and the pants of a Hausa outfit-his was a tie dyed navy spiral pattern and also they were awesome-i'd sport them with what i brought with me-white poplin shirt-brown striped tee kimono fabric sash and heather grey tee/sleeve do-rag-ps i need a haircut!!

keep it chill and chic

FINALLY!!!!!
a cooler to carry my PBR's and Jaeger shots that i won't be mortified to rock on the train this summer.

having a "TOUS LES CALEÇONS" moment

there was a terrific underwear brand back in the 80's and while i was checking out a fabric shop on Rue Herold i remembered they had a shop around the corner-sadly it's long gone but it was hot-best men's longjohns that we rocked out on the streets
