L.L.Bean Trim-Fit Oxford - $29

So from first hand experience, I have to say that this is probably one of the hidden best deals out there right now at a whopping $29. Its trim but not button-bulging tight, super crisp and just generally solid. The fabric is great, wrinkle-resistant (great for our conversation about all those shirts sitting in the basement waiting to be ironed for a year) and looks good dressed up or down. Could be my first step in the right direction to replace t-shirts with real shirts.

DoubleButter I need

A few pieces from DoubleButter that would be great at my house. The Penguin beside the couch in the front room, the Grasshopper for lounging on the porch, and the Crane for proper barstools. All good stuff from good local guys. Check out their new site.

Just for the Archives

Seeing as this is pretty much me in a style nutshell and I've been absolutely glued to the post, I have to keep this one for the archives. Thanks to A Time to Get.

Rapha

High fashion cycle gear. Be careful looking at this site, lock up the wallet first. I really like the offset zipper and you might have found your nice leather gloves. Check out the fixed bag, and, well, basically everything else.

Stone walls - Thailand

Since we're on the subject of vacations, perhaps this gets added to the list. X2 Resort Kui Buri, Thailand. 

La Reserva House - Chile

Take a look at both the "wall of glass" and the wood paneling on the walls and, notably, the ceiling. Inspiration for you. Arch Daily.

Even if I had no idea what THIS did I would still want it just for a great looking object.
