The 60’s are making a comeback with a vengeance. Tie dye t-shirts, acid wash jeans and bleached jean jackets have made their way back to the runways and the store racks. Here are some of my favorite pieces out now:

If you’re a sports fan and have not visited Mitchell & Ness before, do yourself a favor and remedy that situation immediately. I am constantly on the Mitchell & Ness site shopping for new pieces from my favorite Bay Area sports teams. Their prints are always so different and so cool, and they are constantly restocking their inventory with great new designs and also awesome vintage pieces.

Mitchell & Ness offers a lot more than your average team store in terms of unique, eye-catching pieces and one-of-a-kind items. There are so many more ways to rep your favorite teams outside of just wearing a jersey, and Mitchell & Ness certainly makes it that much easier and more fun to do so.

FOR THE FELLAS: SUMMER SHORTS

Shorts season has arrived! In addition to giving you a list of summer shorts that I like, I am also providing some helpful hints on what to look for when shopping for shorts.

  1. When in doubt, opt for plain over prints.
  2. You obviously do not want your shorts to be too short, but too long can look just as bad. The hem should hit right at or right above the knee.
  3. Cargo shorts are not your friend, and you do not need to give them a chance (unless you ACTUALLY need all those pockets, in which case I am only to assume that you are a handyman or a carpenter).
  4. If you want to wear denim, just wear a pair of jeans. I do not think it is worth buying a pair of denim shorts.
  5. I understand that comfort is key, but if you really want to step up your fashion game, save the sweatpants (sweatshorts?) for the gym or the field. The same goes for swim trunks – keep them limited to the pool.

I do not leave the house without sunglasses. Seriously. Even when it’s raining, I have a pair of sunnies in my handbag. Sunglasses can take your wardrobe to the next level because they really complete an entire look and tie everything together. If you’re a stickler for details like I am, I highly suggest you up your sunnies game. Here is a (lengthy) list of my favorite summer sunglasses for the fellas:
