In an ongoing search that has been well documented here on this blog, my friend Jeff is still in search for the perfect pair of pants. Well, I think the search is finally over. Here's a pair of jeans with a custom iPhone pocket. Talk about blending style and function. So...Jeff! How about these pants?!

Tough to think about scarves when it's going to be at least 96 degrees in New York City for the next couple days, but 
Shoes from Allen Edmonds to coincide with the start of the 2012 baseball season and just like the Red Sox home opener, ugly. Actually a couple of them aren't so bad.
W+K posted this photo on their blog of one of their employees wearing a sweater that is at once a best and worst of sweaters.
The OG of street fashion photography Bill Cunningham 
Nicole Trunfio. Australian model. Singer in a rock band. And the best part: skateboarder.
I could actually get behind 
(Pink Floyed inspired?) 
In general I think women look better without a hat. Not that women dress for men: I learned a long time ago that they dress to impress other women. Anyway that's just my preference. However, there's always an exception to the rule and this woman pictured above is the exception. Having a million dollar smile helps too.

Fascinating history of these swagilicious brogue shoes worn by GQ contributer Ren McKnight:
“These guys are from Gieves & Hawkes on Savile Row in London. Legend has it that the original perforation pattern was made by firing a shotgun at a pair of cap toes, hence the name “Buckshot Brogues.” I first saw them on [GANT Rugger head designer] Christopher Bastin’s blog, and knew I had to track them down. Now, if only I could grow a Bastin beard.”

It's suppose to dip down to the 50s this weekend, which had me thinking about winter gear. Ladies, what do you think of 
Meaty accessory for your wrist. $32 here.
Candid interview with Scott Schuman aka The Sartorialist. Disses on kids! Makes money! Only reads girlfriend's blog!
Mr. Schuman, nowadays teenage bloggers like Tavi Gavinson are getting flown around the world to sit on the front rows of fashion shows in order to write about them. Isn’t that getting a little absurd?
Well I don’t think her audience is that big. I think her success is a little bit of a conspiracy by established print media that wanted to show that this blog thing is not that important, that it’s done by a bunch of twelve year olds. But a lot of us are serious grown-ups.
Do you make money off your blog or do you make money because of what you have created around your blog?
American Apparel bought advertising for the whole year and then I just got an email yesterday that Net-A-Porter.com is going to buy advertisements for the rest of the year (2010) as well. So those two ads alone are a good fraction of a million dollars: more than a quarter million and less than a half a million.
A friend once told me Scott stopped to look at her while she was walking down the street. He raised his camera. Then put it back down again without snapping a photo of her. I told her this meant that her life is now no longer worth living. I'm a thoughtful friend.

GQ finds 94 reasons why New York Fashion Week is pleasing on the eyes.
Speaking of fashion on a serious note, if you haven't seen it yet, I recommend with extremely high cheekbone prejudice that you check out the documentary profile "Bill Cunningham New York," which is now on instant streaming on Netflix.*
*Saying "instant streaming on Netflix" is now redundant I suppose with the company splitting into two silos with "Netflix" reserved for video streaming and the DVD rental as "Qwikster."
