Marmot Loafer – Gucci

question of the day….

is there a chic and graceful way to wear a logo-laden shoe? the gucci marmot loafer is on my wish list. i think they’ll be spotted on chic feet everywhere.

solution…

get ’em in black (naturally) and wear ’em sans any other designer item. loving the thought with jeans and a white shirt.

i had the pleasure of meeting david adjaye a couple years ago. i am in awe of his talent. this amazing tanzanian architect has designed what will be the last of the smithsonian museums on the mall in washington dc. fittingly, it is the national museum of african american history and culture due to be completed and dedicated before president obama leaves office.

Agenda – 2016

so…what’s on your twenty-sixteen agenda? whatever you’ve set your sights on — and hopefully you’re looking forward — you might want to write it down. and no…i don’t mean on your computer, iPad, or any other electronic device. go old school. pen…or even better…pencil to paper (we all make mistakes). but seriously, it’ll be all the more meaningful in your own handwriting.

(cursive, anyone?)

i prefer to go classic with a moleskine. you, however, might want to ramp it up with something extravagant from monsieur vuitton.

PJs

julian schnabel and posse notwithstanding…i think i may have to adopt a pair of pjs and wear ’em out of doors. i’ll make my acquisition now…which’ll give me enough time to muster the courage to debut ’em in the spring. of course i’ll take my cues instead from shala’s playbook. we all know ms.monroque is chic personified….

CONSTELLATION MIRROR

from the contemporary mind of thomas pheasant. the constellation mirror provides a little something for the ‘transitional’ part of your interior’s personality. it’s a 54″ statement maker. arriving on the scene about a decade ago, just before brass became cool (yet again). and since imitation is the sincerest form…etc. it’s been copied…and copied…and copied… find the original through baker furniture
