Beta Testing Bespoke Suits

9tailors, a custom shirting company, has officially branched out into men's and women's suiting! The founder is one of my favorite college accomplices and an insanely motivated and brilliant individual. In fact, 9tailors just stole a place on Stuff magazine's Hot 100 List!

From now until September 1 (for men) and October 1 (for women), customers get 50% off the regular price of a custom suit.

Repeat: 50% off.

And all you have to do? Fill out a survey after purchase. Seriously, that's it! Go ahead and add a $90 button down to your order (mention Providence Classic, of course) & get 10% off the shirt.

This deal is available now for clients in Boston and New York. Email makiko@9tailors.com for suiting and shirting options and to get started. There are endless, endless choices!

Back in 5

Trying to catch up with all the things I've put on my plate. It's a Las Vegas 24-hour buffet over here and I'm stuffed. Will just keep moving.

Ms. Spade

So clever: clutches made to look exactly like classic books. Well played, Ms. Spade.

The Great Gatsby

The Importance of Being Earnest, Emma (not currently for sale) and Great Expectations.

Buy them here.

The Want List

Love this shirt combo from J.Crew. It's like "No Country for Old Men" meets gay lumberjack meets Ivy prep. J. Crew has really nailed that "je ne sais quoi" look.

I "je ne sais quoi" why it works, but it does. 

Bon Anniversaire

I have to celebrate today because, well, I wouldn't be alive if I didn't. 

Happy 35th anniversary, Mom & Dad!

I'm really happy for them. They are incredible role models. 

Hamptons to BK

Spent this past weekend in Bridgehampton, NY for a dear friend's bachelorette whose October wedding I am in. Back in NYC for a hot minute to attend another friend's baby shower (!) before heading to Milwaukee. 


Ran across the Brooklyn Bridge this morning - first time I've been across it on foot, despite having lived here for 6 years (also never went to the Statue of Liberty).

Funny how those things happen.
