This Boy

This wonderful man is away at a photography conference in Vegas this week, so I'm putting him on the blog to make it seem like he's not actually that far away. Yeah, I know. It doesn't really work that way. But he deserves some air time on here, because he's awesome and takes my photos for the blog. Oh, and he's darn cute and has some serious style. He's a huge Bonobos fan and has a talent for thrifting some serious treasures. Like the sweater he's wearing in this post. But not that hat, because that Russian fur gem has been in his family for some time, and he just dug it up from our basement. Anyways, he's a real keeper!

The Ultimate Hand Me Down

This jacket comes from my grandmother, who passed away four years ago. It's been in my closet in Connecticut since then, because I was a waitress and a college student and there was no place for fur in my life at the time. When I started seeing more fur and faux fur pieces on bloggers and in my Pinterest feed, I knew it was time to dust this off. Maybe it's cheesy that I needed to see others wearing similar things in order to get the confidence to pull this out, but, hey, that's what happened. I'm just thankful that I can remember my grandmother by physically wearing something of hers, and dreaming up what events she must have worn this to back in the day.
