After the Storm, The Sun Also Rises...
Still no power, telephone, or cell service out east, but all is good in NYC...

Irene is Coming...
Long Island, NY is expecting a direct hit of historical proportions. The girls are safe in Texas and dad is drinking beer and eating Doritos (Sweet Chili). I thought this hurricane map looked like a Monet painting...

The Fall Wish List
Amanda Brooks of Barneys New York says...
My shopping list for this fall started coming together last February during a month of 13-hour days that had me running from showroom to showroom. The benefit of seeing everything in advance is that, by the time the merchandise arrives, I’ve already had months to contemplate my purchases. This week as I was going over all my snapshots (as well as some “new arrival” additions from Barneys.com), I began to get into the autumn mood.
My selections all have a classic undertone, which is typical for me, but I plan to shake things up with animal print and texture: leopard, lace and shearling included. My dress silhouette is more ladylike than it has been in a while, but for outerwear, I’m liking a tomboy-inspired baseball jacket. These Walter Steiger boots are my fashion “trend” indulgence for the season. The early ’90s shape looks so right again, and I’m not the only one who thinks so — we saw many odes to Steiger’s shoes on this fall’s runways. But isn’t it more fun to have the real thing?
My one “in my dreams” item is a cross fox fur vest by The Row. While the price tag will probably prove prohibitive for me, I can’t bring myself to remove it from my wish list. Maybe one of you can buy it so I can live vicariously through you?

King of Blue...
This is a beautiful shade of blue and I love the DB model, but not as a suit, just a blazer...
Also check out MD's King of Blue, it's perpetual...

Back to Work
Keeping it simple today - Dark navy strip suit, pale blue shirt, dark tie, white ps, and brown oxfords...kind of old man style, but it's all about the proportion that makes it modern.
