Right now, I love Riviera Club Menswear. 3 stylish dudes from California who just released their Spring ‘11 lookbook, and how great is this shoot?! We’ve already established that art inspires fashion, but I have most recently felt the reverse effect.

While unpacking I stumbled upon one of my favorite art books - Andrew Wyeth, Memory & Magic. Wyeth really is a magic maker. He has such a timeless style and gift for precision.

Gentlemen, grab a pencil and pad of paper. It’s time to take some Spring fashion notes.
P.S. I love that Winslow Homer was their Spring inspiration.

It’s been a rough couple of days. Sadly, Mr. Leo (our feline family member) passed away. I’ve been pretty bummed by it, but now the weekend is here and the weather is perfect. Things are looking up.

Did some Sunday exploring with my man last week. It’s always a treat to spend the day riding bikes and uncovering cool spots forgotten by time.
