Men. Yup, those guys. They claim to be so easy, simple, go with the flow....They say. We've done research: they are not. There are the men we deal with in reality — the ones we marry, date, get overly comfortable with; our dads, brothers, sons and friends; and the guys who help us get things done: the teachers, the preachers...all...
Recently, Zack kept coming out of our room wearing clothes I'd never seen before. Which is weird, because although he's always had his own sense of style (and has pretty strong opinions about it as well), online shopping isn't really his thing--that's definitely more my area.
So when I casually asked where each piece came from, his answer would...
Anyone else have a partner who "isn't really into clothing" but yet always has strong opinions about it? Omg. Hi. I do.
Pinky, my husband, and yes, there's a whole story to his name -- short version: he managed a Latin-Disco-Punk band in San Francisco in the early '90s and needed a stage name...and it stuck -- hates clothes shopping....
Let's just get the Dad party started with the T-shirts. Mostly just because they brought me life through so many smiles this morning, and we all take a little love, light and laughter in remembering to celebrate our fathers!
We've got the It's Not A Dad Bod, It's A Father Figure Shirt, and then there's the Ain't No Hood...
All the good men need at least one pair of Sunday Joggers, #amiright? Those same good men might also need a quick and easy whole-closet-refresh to brighten their work-from-home, school-from-home, and lounge-at-home styles (and lives). A little style refresh can even brighten the lives of those in quarantine with them all day, every day.
Ladies, I offer you this gem...
I asked two man friends, for a list of what a man needs in quarantine. One of them answered, "a woman, water, food, shelter." The other, helped me craft the highly edited wish list below. Shortest intro I might ever write.
Enough said. So here's our well-edited, for-the-guys-that-are-lucky-enough-to-be-healthy-and-at-home, Quarantine Kit For Men. Spoiler: it does not not include women, water,...
Remember how I said you might go stir-crazy if you don't enjoy some sort of snow activity in the winter? That goes for kids too--especially for kids. Fortunately, Greenlea's usually pretty excited to get outside. Uncle Mike took her skiing last year (she loved it), and she always has fun sledding with her cousins...Auntie Shana even got her on...
I'm not sure the last time someone told me that their husband/significant other/boyfriend/father/brother was easy to shop for. I'm sure there are Those Men out there. I just can't think of one off the top of my mind. What I can conjure up is 45 years of having an amazingly fun father, two crazy, wonderful brothers, a sizable collection...
I can't be the only one who waits until the verrrrrry end of the sale to shop for my guy...right? Do guys clothes even sell out? Or, more accurately, does anybody care if they do? (Oh darn, that blue button down sold out!! Well...I guess I'll just have to go with...any of the 20 other blue button downs...
You guys. I just came across the BEST shopping site EVER, and all I could think was how have I not heard of this one before?? It's an awesomely curated retail site with everything from our favorite clothing brands (Free People, , ASTR the Label, etc.,) to our favorite hair and beauty brands (Oribe, Kevyn Aucoin, Supergoop!) to brands...
