Ask About me…
What do you do when you’re an angry kid from Cambridge Massachusetts… seething in your Northface, itching to start a revolution? You make tee shirts of course! In a place where even the color red is bullied (Crimson has that place on lock)- the people at Proletariat (sorry blogger wouldn’t let me switch the letters...
What time is it?
Time to get a new watch! (Ah memories of 3rd grade come flooding back with that one). In all seriousness, if you’re in the market for a new watch or if you’re looking for a distinctly modern gift, Nooka is the place to go. Nooka is the brainchild of artist and designer, Matthew Waldman....
Maps
I love Boston, don’t get me wrong… but there are certain things I miss about New York. The fashion, the night life, and yes… the subway. It was so… orderly. The numbered and lettered cars, the grid-like system, the fact that I could ride the subway from Harlem to Coney Island on a whim… it...
Bag Intervention
My boyfriend has recetnly suggested having something along the lines of a “bag intervention.” This happened when we attempted to merge our belongings into one closet and my shelf of purses overflowed onto his collection of shoes on the floor (they always say women have a shoe thing… but men can be kinda crazy with...
Inspired Customs
Every now and then a tee shirt company sets itself apart from the rest. This gift giving season, be sure to check out Custom Industries. Founded in the summer of 2004 by graphic designer and world traveller Matt Taylor, Custom Industries reflects his (and his wife’s) passion for travel, art and adventure. Each tee shirt...
Sweet Pecan Pie
Atlanta’s Design Museum is currently showcasing an exhibition entitled: ‘To a T’ T-shirt Culture… Cute or Couture? With brands like Atlanta-based Pecan Pie Couture in the mix, I’d say the answer is a little bit of both. Pecan Pie Couture is truly a southern belle- one who’s not afraid to roll up her sleeves and...
Manic Monday
Clothes: With a mix of playful designs and playful designers, postlapsaria caught my eye weeks ago and has been a favorite destination ever since. Postlapsaria not only has some of the cutest designs around, they’re extremely comfortable and versatile– there’s no stiff couture here! Of interest: I don’t know if you’ve heard, but Aron Ranen’s...
Fits to a Tee
I’ll say for the record I don’t have a strong opinion about Tiger one way or the other. However, I do think he broke down some pretty substantial barriers and I definitely appreciate what he’s done in that respect. My boyfriend and I golf at Franklin Park Golf Course here in Boston. In the 1940s...
Just be with Rebe
Whenever I get overwhelmed I get flighty. “Mad flighty” as my brother would say. The inbox starts to pile up, the stack of unopened mail spills onto the floor, and my phone recycles voice mail messages before I get a chance to listen to them. So in some ways its kind of ridiculous that I...
Chillin’
So… chillin’ is something I’m NOT doing this morning… but that’s another story for another time. Since you obviously have some time to chill (you are here, aren’t you?)– why not stop by Chillers- the originators of signed, numbered, limited edition designs by emerging artists from around the world like Daniel Blignault and John Galac!...
Awww Sh***
. . . That’s what I said every morning for weeks this summer as I approached my car covered in bird turds. My landlord assigned me spot lucky #13 which was directly under the biggest tree in the neighboring apartment complex. The guys at the car wash knew me well- I was going every three...
