The Top 10 Things I'm Coveting:
10. The Melina Club Chair:
An Urban Outfitters Masterpiece...
This bad boy is the perfect Mid-Century Modern Club Chair
* Please note the reflective steel legs and bracing...
9. The Lacoste Mainsail Watch...
Lacoste hates me right now and won't let me post the image so here's the link: I'm cool
enough to click!
The simple face combined with the grosgrain band is classically preppy, and totally worth the
$235...
8. M83: Saturdays=Youth
So many things are awesome about this record.
First: The title is pretty much the theme of my life.
Second: Anyone who listens to Sirius-XMU will be stoked to know that the song Kim & Jessie
lives on this album.
Third: Every time I listen to this album I picture myself cruising in the '69 SL280 with the top
down. Doesn't get much better than that.
7. The J-Crew Year-Round Solid Suit Vest:
I only own one vest... and though it's a classic pinstripe I think that a solid one is another
wardrobe necessity.
6. Hey Mambo White Wine...
I won this at a Wine Tasting I attended last fall, and have not been able to find it since.
If anyone knows where to find this in Alabama, Georgia, or Tennessee please GOD tell me...
This falls under the heading of crave/need. Not covet.
The only place I could find it is out in Cali. I do not live there... Nor can I have it shipped to
this state... (Stupid Interstate Commerce Laws)
5. Vineyard Vines: Worth Gingham Oxford Tucker Shirt (in Garnish no less)
I have about 473819 blue dress shirts, but only 3 green ones, and none this color...
I love Vineyard Vines for their classic look, but more over for the construction of the shirt.
The fabric is lightweight and very breathable, and the build fits my wide shoulders/skinny frame well...
4. The Z-Gallerie Cara Bed:
Yes. I am aware that the bed has a girl name.
No. I don't give a shit.
The linen upholstery and the nickel nailheads, as well as the sharp corners give it a gender neutral feel. I'm was thinking about using dark brown sheets to cancel out the lighter color of the upholstery to give it a more masculine feel. We'll see if it actually works.
3. A subscription to Garden & Gun Magazine...
I know, I know... It sounds rediculous... It's not.
My dad sent me a link to it stating that it's what he wanted for his birthday, and I laughed out loud when I read the title, but it has some really awesome stuff in it. It's classically Southern (therefore I love it.) Right now they are featuring Frank Stitt - The head chef for Bottega, and Highlands in Birmingham. Having eaten there frequently when I still lived there - I think this guy is awesome. They are also featuring Bobby McAlpine - world renown architect. This guy is one of my idols. His homes are of a classic Southern Design, and second-to-none. Anyway, safe to say this is not just about Gardens or Guns...
2. The Pioneer PL 990 Turntable: Let's go old school... Although Turntables seem out of their prime, they're actually making a huge comeback among hipsters and weekend indie rockers alike. This ain't your momma's record player: the days of hissing and scratching are long gone replaced with crystal clear sound and the ability to once again enjoy the way music has been recorded for a little over a century.
1. A Pair of Frye Boots (Harness 12R):
Any of you who know me know that I have been bitching about how bad I need these for about 5 months. My girlfriend is going to punch me in the face if she hears me whine about how bad I want them again.
My cousin got them about a year ago, and I wanted to steal his.
They are classic boots that even a total Prepster like myself can get away with.
Their blunt toe and buckle on the side make them recognizable from under even the longest un-hemmed bootcut jeans.
The color makes them look like you've been at the farm with only those on for about 3 months, You could probably get away with wearing them at the office if you're place of business is business casual (like mine... which is WHY I NEED THEM...)
So there you have it. My list of things I'm really craving for February of 2009. I don't know how often I will be doing this because some of these probably won't change. But I'm gunna try to update it every now and then.
