The story in pictures
1. Debonair Matt with the classic newsboy cap.
2. Spending a sunny Saturday on West Broadway at a tea bar.
3. A Vintage style Electra bike with stitched leather seat. (Want list!)
4. Matt carries the leather bag I want to steal and sports the pant cuff we speak of (below).


Why I love him 
I dig his style: prep gone rugged, occasionally looking back.
He doesn't rub it in when he beats me in kayak races. (This Summer, Matt. You and me in Sunset Beach California for the re-match.)

So the story goes...

Conversing With: Manhattan Born J. Crew Visual Stylist, Matt Lucas
Years Acquainted: 7
Parked In: Soho - NYC
His Next Move: An evening museum wedding
 
Conversation On The Twentieth Century Pant Cuff 
Sana : What trend are you loving this Spring? Tell me. It can be anything fashion related.

Matt : The roll-up pant cuff
.

Sana: What makes it the favorite?

Matt: I can show off my man-hoisery. Look (points to his olive green trouser socks.)

Sana:  (laughs) Seriously Matt, I knew I could count on you to come through on that question.


Matt: It's true. Women have their fancy stockings and what not. Men need a little bit of something too.

*When Matt's new blog launches in a few weeks, I'll update the link here.

Now, friends, spill it. Will you sport the cuff this season?

Vintage Swim: Fans And Florals

It's official - I have Spring fever. At the start of the season I am always inclined to re-organize my dressing area and bring the color up a notch. I've been inspired by a set of Chinese fans and their beautiful little boxes that once belonged to my mother. Pleats and florals will be recurring themes in my Spring decor at home and in my wardrobe.

Will you add Spring to your wardrobe? Your decor at home? Or both?!
