Thursday Threads: Cool Daddy-O!

Today a friend of mine asked me for advice on sunglasses for her husband. She's thinking Father's Day (it is right around the corner). So I thought I would post about Sunglasses and other fun finds for cool Dads. 

These red Toms are super cool and they would look great on any cool dad. You can find them online at Toms for $119

These anchor cufflinks from J.Crew will show him he's the anchor in your life (awwww). They are $98 and can be found online at JCrew.

The classic Ray Ban clubmaster is $205 and worth the investment. You can find them online at RayBan. They are really fantastic!

This classic chambray short sleeve shirt will get your special dad through the summer. Pair it with great shorts and cool sneakers and he will be ready to go. It's $25 at Old Navy online.

These cute embroidered shorts are from Old Navy and on sale right now! Snag a pair for your guy for $15 online!

I hope this early Father's Day guide helps you find something cool and special for your guy! 

Happy Shopping!

Thursday Threads: Four Eyes

I went to the optometrist for the first time in a couple of years today. The good news is that as I get older my eyes are getting better and I am not only a -5.50 in each eye...it was -6.0 and before that -6.25...so that's good. The other good bit is that this is the time to evaluate what frames need to be retired and look for new ones if I want. I normally like to have 2-4 pairs to work with. Here are two pair that I have found and really like. One of them is going to be under way to get made ...hopefully tomorrow!  The other pair I've gotten mixed reviews on.

Today I found this pretty pair from Pillip Lim,it's called "Moujik" and although it comes in various colors, it's this soft pink that I really like. You can find them here.

This is my new pair of lovelies.. I will be getting these made along with my black cat eyes over the weekend. These are the classic wayfarer frame, unlike the current wayfarer that I have which is thinner. You can find them here in a darker torta and a black. I got them in this shade which is called "Havana Yellow".

Hope you've been having a great week. Things have been very busy--- so I appologize.

Music Monday: Dawes

The first time I heard Dawes was a few years ago and I immediately fell in music love. A few months ago I heard their new single, From a Window Seat and was not an initial fan, but then it grew on me as I listened to the lyrics. The song is telling such a great story, and something that everyone who has stepped foot on a plane can relate to.

Hope you have a great week!

Music Monday: The Great Gatsby

This weekend XM was showcasing the soundtrack to the latest edition of The Great Gatsby on the silver screen. When you read this classic novel, or if you have seen previous incarnations, the music is evocative of the time the novel is set in, the hot summer of 1922. When you see Baz Lurhmann's version of the novel, it is risky and the music matches. Cole Porter and JZ haven't had too much in common until now.  The traditionalists have not been happy with the lack of classic jazz, but if you look at the film for its aesthetic, then it kind of fits in. Personally, I liked it and there are some songs that I really enjoyed.  Have you seen the film or heard its soundtrack?

 Here is a list of the songs I like...
1. Back to Black by Beyonce and Andre 300
2. Bang Bang by Will.i.am
3. Young and Beautiful by Lana del Rey
4. Over the Love (of you) by Florence + The Machine
 

Hope you had a great weekend and I hope music makes your Monday lovely! 

XOXO
