Ralph Lauren Rugby Peacoat Project…

Last summer I kind of took a particular liking to the Rugby division of Ralph Lauren’s mens offerings which sent me on an ebay run to survey said articles…I came across this Rugby Cotton Pea-Coat for a quarter of what they offer it for!  According to the description it was a young lady “Un-Gifted” it from her former boyfriend…”Enters…Dressy-Jackson” LOL!

Once it arrived I was kinda like…eeehhhhhh….sigh….just not thrilled…pretty basic and somewhat bland…???  So I placed it on my “form” and just kinda stared at it for awhile…and let it stare at me for a couple of days until “Voila”!!!  It lacked WOW factor!  I began to think of what I’d would’ve done to give it some sort of spark…hence the simple yet HUGE alteration that has already garnered several compliments and studied stares on just its first and only outing so far this winter!!!  Check it out!

Added Brass!

Then during the week of Jan 23rd 2012 Rugby releases new apparel and guess wha???  ”Designing Minds” think alike!?!?!???  (still like my smooth brass application better!)

Poppin’ Tags… (Peter Millar Belt)

Well time for me to update you from the November 16th 2011 Peter Millar Poppin-Tags teaser!

As I compile my Poppin-Tags articles for my posts I’m seeing that most of them are from Saks 5th Ave and of all places various Marshall’s stores!?!?  yep…who’da thunk it!?

Anyway one of my most unbelievable finds was this Genuine Ostrich Peter Milllar belt (amazingly in my size!) from a Marshalls store!!!!

“Take that, Take that, Take that!!!!”

Ur, Ummm…

To quote Nancy Kerrigan, “WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY??????” This is a look that is reminiscent of trying to squeeze ones rump into a size too small pair of jeans.  Just someone please tell me why anyone would ever wear these…

Rene Descartes, a French philosopher, mathematician, and physicist, is perhaps best known for the statement,
“I think, therefore I am.”

I’ll see his quote and add another,
“I see, therefore I shop.”
