sanfranShow your love of soccer AND your love of the City by the Bay with this shirt. It’s the logo of the San Francisco Gales, a soccer team that split up most likely before you were born. And if SF isn’t your city, the site also has retro soccer shirts for Miami, Detroit, and Brooklyn among others.

Lamplight ShirtYou don’t have to live in New York to rock out this sweet shirt from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. It’s very noir, and the money, I assume, goes towards supporting some public transportation.

$24 from the MTA



Titanium and Wood Inlay Ring

titanium ringI think if I ever (am allowed to) get married I’ll want a wedding ring like this. This particular one is titanium inlayed with Jarrah, a tree from Australia. I’ve seen these in all varieties of wood, and I imagine if you have a particular type of tree with special meaning to you, you can find a ring with it. They’re simple, but at the same time the wood gives them a unique, complex beauty that you can’d find in a plain band.

$135 from robandlean’s Etsy shop

wooljacketThe problem with hot butch women is that I have to concentrate really, really hard to remember what they’re wearing so I can report back to you. Luckily I managed to commit to memory at least the shirt and jacket worn by a stylin’ lady I saw yesterday before my brain turned to happy mush. Her jacket was a grey wool military-inspired piece that may or may not be the Juicy Military Band Wool Jacket pictured here, which is sadly now unavailable new. I can’t find the likes of her shirt online anywhere, but it was awesome. Picture a white, striped button down shirt with folded silver wings embroidered on either side of the front. If you know where I can find such a thing, let me know.

gold poloThere are some colors that certain people were made to pull off. I saw someone on the subway the other day who had darker (than me) skin wearing a polo of this color, and I thought “damn, that looks amazing.” Maybe you’ve got the right complexion for it too?

Keanan Duffty Poplin Shirt

targetshirtI swear I only bought this shirt because a) it was on sale for like $7 at my local Target and b) the graphics were slightly pixelated, which made me giggle. That said, I swear I’ve gotten more compliments on this shirt than anything else I have in my wardrobe. Which is like, 3 compliments, but still… Anyway, this is not a shirt to be worn buttoned up. The graphics are printed too high on the chest, and it looks silly buttoned up. Left open with a plain-ish shirt underneath, however, and we apparently have a winner.

$24.99 from Target

Striped ScarfAgain, I’m late to the game. I admit it. But I was totally converted to the striped scarf look at work the other day when I rather attractive woman came in wearing a plain white T, a leather jacket, jeans, and a nice colorful scarf very similar to this. I highly recommend the look.

$19.98 from Roots
