Have an awesome thursday…have to get to work! xocc ♥

frye it up!

Well hello there! That was some fishing trip! Actually I didn’t catch any real fish, but I have been working since the summer on an awesome new professional project that is taking up a lot of my time. Everyone is doing great, thank goodness…i have missed you guys though, very much, and I’m happy to be back…

I’m ready for fall and I’m dying for a new pair of Frye boots to keep my black “harness” pair company…hmmm so many to choose from…and i LoVe this shoemaking company, with a rich heritage rooted in a small New England town…

beautifully crafted footwear that lasts a lifetime and only gets better with age…mine are 5 years old and are yet to be broken in…i’m only getting started…

these ‘Dorado’ ones are sweet as well, crafted from gaucho leather…and the sole is to die…soles, my friends, really do matter…

so many boots, so little time…how does one choose?

it’s hard to commit since they will last forever, right?…which ones are your faves? Nice to be back…enjoy this lovely day, xocc ♥

olga guanabara

Another Brooklyn gem, this company is all about the handmade, return of the craft & one-of-a-kinds.  Olga is actually a dog, the gorgeous chocolate lab that you see in the photos, and then there’s the humans behind the operation, Brazilian-born Richard and Renato.

Some of their beautifully hand-crafted goods…

Olga Guanabara welcomes custom work…you can also check out their blog here…i’m seriously drooling over all of these amazing pieces, the jewelry especially.  i’m back from my little beach get-away with my girlfriends and our sons and i’ve had 3 client appointments and several meetings…not complaining since it’s good to be busy except that i’m trying to get my 14 yo son packed and off to overnight camp :) …enjoy your thursday, xocc ♥

convoy conundrum

i love Convoy Tumblr.  i have not confirmed its editor (i think it’s a guy) but i do really really love it.  i think that when others’ photos are used…the photographer, stylist, owner etc. should be credited absolutely and i always do so with a linkback whenever possible. that’s the one thing about Convoy that i don’t love (bugs me actually and i’m sure lots of others)…there’s a disclaimer with an email address on the bottom but that’s not enough, i really want to know the source…i know it takes lots of time but it’s worth it for all involved…if any of these photos are yours, please let me know and i will credit you immediately because these are some of the best product shots (and the best guy stuff, cool for dad) i’ve seen on the net…

 

*all photos via convoy tumblr*

i have done detective work to get the sources on convoy before (you need a magnifying glass) but i’d rather not have to…so, if you are reading mr. mystery convoy man with the exquisite taste, can you please tell us where we can get all this awesome loot?  thanks…have a great tuesday…xocc ♥
