Fendi Fall 2013 Menswear Collection

Fendi Fall 2013 Menswear Collection 4

Let’s be honest: if a design house is showing in Milan there is automatically a level of lavishness associated with it.  And this isn’t limited to the women’s lines, but is true of the menswear as well.  And the Fendi Fall 2013 Menswear Collection is the perfect example. Designer Silvia Venturini Fendi brings a rich… [Read More...]

Ports 1961 Spring 2013 Menswear Collection

00290m

I know I have spent a lot of time covering the Resort 2013 Collections.  But that doesn’t mean I am going to neglect the Menswear shows!  And I thought it would be particularly fun to start off with the Ports 1961 Spring 2013 Menswear Collection, which showed in Milan a couple of days ago. This… [Read More...]

Tulips and Tea

popup-3

Lukus and I spent this weekend apartment hunting (right now his work is putting us up).  During a break we took some time to lounge around Millennium Park.  The park (as is true of the rest of downtown!) is beautifully manicured.  The park’s gardens, coupled with Lukus’ casual Saturday look (complete with Green Tea) made for… [Read More...]

Fall Fashion is For Fellows

OB-Mr porter mens

LAST DAY TO ENTER THE TOYWATCH USA GIVEAWAY!!!!   I always appreciate that my husband Lukus actually likes clothing.  Okay,  maybe not always (like when we are on a specific shopping mission for me yet we still come home with more things for him!),  but generally speaking,  I am glad that he takes pride in… [Read More...]

Partying with Puma

IMG_2329

Last night I had the pleasure of attending the Puma Fall 2011 Collection Preview.  And I have a confession:  When I originally planned today’s post I thought it would fit directly into my workout themed week here on NoH.  After all, Puma is workout gear?  Right.  But also wrong.  Apparently they have everything.  And that… [Read More...]

The Boys Of Summer

On my wedding day- look at how happy he is to be getting rid of me! ;)

Yay!  Father’s Day is Sunday!  I wrote about my love for my mom on Mother’s Day, but I have equal love for my dad.  He is this tough German character who is a big love once you crack his tough exterior.  My husband always jokes that one day he will get my dad to cry… [Read More...]

Lavish Leather

Mantiques Modern "Abercombie Leather Rhino Footstool" ($2200), 1stDibs.com

Lukus desperately wants a leather chair.  Something about being a man.  And while I am a woman, I do know what he means.  There is something luxurious and distinguished about leather. So, while I was browsing leather chairs on 1stDibs.com, (just window shopping- we do not have the space or budget for a leather chair)… [Read More...]

Weekend Cool For Under $150: Men’s Edition

br823728-01vliv01

Lukus usually reads my posts before I publish them.  He is sort of my editor.  Lucky, I know.  Yesterday he pointed out that it’s been awhile since I wrote a men’s fashion post and he was feeling somewhat slighted.  Okay, so I made the second part up.  But, he did suggest I give my male… [Read More...]

Getaway Attaché

Jack Spade "Winged Nylon Duffle" ($395).

Whenever Lukus and I take a little weekend or overnight trip we pack bags.  No shock there.  Pretty normal in fact.  What isn’t is Lukus’ choice in luggage.  While most adults carry a weekender or some sort of duffel bag, Lukus still opts for a backpack.  In fact, Lukus carry’s a backpack everywhere.  And for… [Read More...]

The Sole of A Man

Looking for something sleaker?  Kenneth Cole's "Metro-Spective" ($148) have a croc embossed finish... pretty chic!

After a couple of days of server drama North On Harper is up and running again.  Just in time for a little fashion.  Lukus is a bit of a clothes horse.  His birthday is Monday and when I asked him what he wanted it was the same answer I always get “Some clothing!  Or shoes!” … [Read More...]
