A Little Something for the Guys

A few of my guy followers wanted to know why I hadn't included a men's spring shopping list and the truth is, I was actually working on it to post for this lovely Friday. 

So, HAPPY FRIDAY!

I'll preface this post by saying that all of the items that I am going to include are more for weekend wear.  I think most men look good in the basic button-down and slacks for the office.  So, let's focus on the more fun stuff.

Let's start with outerwear.

This jacket can be worn over anything- a t-shirt, button-down, sweater, pants or jeans. 
It's basic and simple, but looks good with everything and on everyone.


J.Crew Fatigue Jacket

 T-shirts

Guys, this is super easy.  Just don't wear them too baggy or too tight. We ladies want to be able to see the outline of your physique without actually seeing it.  Keep us guessing.  It's all about the intrigue.   ;)  

J.Crew broken in tee


Polos

Again. Simple. Easy. Hard to screw up.


J.Crew polo


Hoodies

Great for the spring when the weather is unpredictable. 
Again don't wear these too baggy.  This is not junior high gym class.

J.Crew utility fleece hoodie


J. Crew v-neck sweater



J.Crew lightweight washed shirts
Love all of the shirts here. 

For budget-friendly options, Uniqlo is having a sale on shirts similar to these for $19.90 until this Sunday, April 1st. See here and here.



 Don't be afraid of color. 

If you are wary of color, try using color in your accessories- your belt, your socks, the band on your watch, your tie or your shoes.


Maybe try adding colored laces to these boots:

J.Crew Suede MacAlister Boots

or try any of these:

Tucco shoes by Creative Recreation


Cole Haan Air Jasper Wingtip

Cole Haan Air Grant loafers
Runspark LE sneaker by Onitsuka Tiger


Don't forget your sunglasses cuz a guy in sunglasses is HOT!

Happy Weekend!!! xo

    You had me up until the shoes! Also I would lose the hood on the first jacket - feels more flexible that way. Overall, nice work! (again, except for the shoes LOL).

      Good advice, J, about the hood. Having it hoodless definitely gives you more options on where you can wear this jacket. Now, the shoes... lol. Yes, they are a bit unconventional, but they do add a bit of fun, right? ;)

      I've been so busy with house stuff that I haven't been paying as much attention to hubby's wardrobe. He has a pink gingham shirt that he usually wears to work. Yes, I said pink. He also has a bunch of colored sneakers, so he's good in that department. I definitely want to add some slimmer tees and casual button downs to his spring wardrobe. By the way, the jacket in this post was inspired by one I saw your hubby wearing last time I saw him ;). I liked it so much I wanted one for myself!

What are you Reading?

It's raining in NYC, which is quite welcome considering how extremely hot it has been the last few weeks. Days like these make me feel like staying home and curling up with a good book and a cup of coffee.  In fact, our new house has a porch (wish list item), so I'm looking forward to spending some time out there under a blanket with a cool breeze blowing over me with a glass of wine, book in hand (not sure how I can do this with two toddlers running around).  Wow! I'm really getting into this porch scenario.  You can tell I've obviously thought about this.. A LOT. This would be a good place to curl up.  Love the grey and yellow theme to this window seat/reading nook     Insert me here:  Image via Pinterest via google      I usually like to read something serious then follow that book up with more light-hearted reads.  A few years ago, I read War and Peace by Leo Tolstoy.  I have a thing for liter...

Our Apartment

Happy Friday!! We are still living in our apartment while we renovate our new house.  We've lived in our apartment for about 5 years now and it's been a great place to live.  People that don't live in NYC are always talking about how apartments here are so expensive and small.  It's true that you don't have the space in the city that you would if you lived in the suburbs, but there are so many great things about living here- easy commute to Manhattan for work- subways run 24/7 and they come pretty frequently; tons of amazing nightlife-bars and clubs; access to some of the best restaurants in the WORLD; great delivery services- you can get food, dry cleaning and laundry, groceries, prescriptions and many, many more things delivered right to your door; cultural activities; outstanding shopping; beautiful Central and Prospect Parks; crossing paths with people from every country around the globe.  This list could go on and on. You can tell I'm going to miss livi...
