MEET MICHAEL

Meet Michael, today I stumble into a blog called Fashion Four Men, Micael is the guy who runs this blog and you can tell by his pictures that he loves food, his wife and his Bulldog, Puddy. But most of all he has a great style of dressing himself, it's preppy with an edge of workwear or is it workwear with an edge of preppy. You tell me. I must say I like the way he rocks out flannel shirts......

His wife has great style too!

Don't even mention Puddy.

MY FAVORITE TWEEDS

I'm not talking about the social media tweets, but about pics where people wear tweed. When I see those pics I get that warm cozy feeling and it reminds me of the English country site. It keeps you warm and stylish, whether your in the city or in the country.

MONDAY BOOK MANIA

Wow, what a gift last week I received from my colleagues a book called "Preppy, cultivating Ivy Style".

Filled with great pictures and easy to read everything you need to know about the preppy lifestyle.

Authors Jeffrey Banks and Doria de La Chapelle examine the fashion designers who played a major role in shaping the preppy look, from retail pioneers J.Press and Brooks Brothers to Ralph Lauren, who single-handedly marketed not just a look but a lifestyle. Also featured, a band of young twenty-first century Ivy stylist and fashion labels, like Michael Bastian, who infused preppy with high-octane design. Buy it and enjoy it just like I do.
