One of our favorite brands, Band of Outsiders, just launched a new blog! It’s about – wait for it – cookies! I know delightfully baked delicious goodness isn’t our typical topic of choice, but come to think of it, why not? They’re stuff boys like! Check out BOO designer Scott Sternberg’s favorite cookies, which so far include Koo Koo Roo’s Snickerdoodle and Italian almond biscottis, but decidedly not Starbuck’s Outrageous Oatmeal Cookie (too many raisins). His cheeky unabashed love for cookies of all kinds is ridiculously charming.

Although you probably don’t want to eat too many snickerdoodles or you won’t be able to fit into your Band of Outsiders shirt.

Blackbird is having a sale! You can check out the whole selection here OR just buy my favorite sale item, the KZO Muir shirt:

Yup, it’s plaid. Are you surprised? Here it is in green:

KZO Muir Shirt ($146) in wine and forest.

While still pricey at $146, this 100% wool shirt can double as a light jacket, perfect for mild LA winters and brisk spring temperatures. Your mom always reminded you to bring a jacket whenever you left the house – now with the KZO Muir Shirt, you can tell her, ‘Already got it, Ma!’

So I’m browsing Gilt late at night again (what’s a working gal to do?) and their Gant sale reminded me of a shirt I meant to blog about, but somehow never got around to.

Spotted amongst the sea of plaid at Barney’s, this checkered shirt and I shared an instant connection:

Black and white gingham with a touch of lumberjack plaid at the collar and sleeves…is it superficial to call it love at first sight?

In a season dominated by plaid shirts, this one by Gant offers a refreshing spin with contrasting plaid touches in just the right areas. And while this particular shirt has been out for a while now making it a tad hard to find, it’d be an injustice to not even try to look for this perfect plaid wonder.

Trip to Barney’s, anyone?

Darn, I didn’t get a chance to browse Gilt until now and I find the most awesome pair of slim fitting wool slacks by J Lindeberg:

Tell me these do not look like the most perfect pair of gray slacks.

And check out how the back pockets are angled, perfectly contouring your butt and making it completely ridiculously good looking! To top it all off, they were on sale for $68! That’s right, a pair of perfect pants for $68.

Alas, they’re all sold out. Sorry guys, I completely failed you.

But, there’s always the wait list right?

Spotted: Brad and Maddox attending Saturday’s Saints vs Cardinals game. Maddox is wearing New Orleans Saints Jeremy Shockey’s jersey paired with a jaunty kid-sized fedora. Adorable, charming and just plain RGL, this little fellow reminds us what a difference accessories make. His fedora transforms a typical, ho-hum football game outfit to stylishly festive attire.

Incidentally, the Saints went on to crush the Cardinals, scoring 45 points and 2 defensive turnovers. Maybe they just didn’t want to disappoint their most stylish fan cheering from the sidelines. I’m just sayin’.
