Flannel here and there...

It's getting chilly out. Time to break out the bigger duvet, the hot chocolate, the flannel!  As much as I wanted to hibernate this weekend, we went for a long walk along the Charles River, it was the perfect weather to break out the flannel - except this shirt is not flannel at all, but cotton and not as heavy to walk in, as it was still warm on Sunday.

Reminded me of this shirt I saw a girl wearing in Amsterdam at one of the flea markets.  She had a lot going on, but the shirt stuck out for me.  Oh, and the LV bag. (photos by photohogger)

How do you like your flannel?  Shirt/blazer/socks/sheets?  Or not at all?

Seersucker + Dad

I have two seersucker pieces, a pair of pants and shorts and they're so perfect for summer. 

Stella McCartney's Spring RTW 2012 collection showcases a lot of Hawaiian prints, bright colours, black n' white, houndstooth and a lot of seersucker. 



The origin of the word and material can be traced to India (derived from Hindi's sīrsakar which in turn comes from the Persian word: shīroshakar = milk + sugar) and was worn by the British in India during the hot climates.  It later made it's way to the U.S in the form of suits for Southern gentlemen.

So maybe something seersucker-y for Dad on Father's Day?

I love these gorgeous and hand-made Alexander Olch seersucker ties.



Great seersucker and gingham short sleeved shirt.



Perfect for the summer, a seersucker bathrobe!
