PALMER TRADING COMPANY

Palmer Trading Company is a store which opened in 2010 by Willy Chavaria and David Ramirez, longtime flea market aficionados, it takes its name from Palmer, Mass. where they have a house. You can find Palmer Trading leather goods and vintage items, shoes from East land, Tellason jeans etc. The shop looks very cozy with the fleamart finds tile flooring and tin ceiling. This will be my first stop, next time I visit New York. You can find PTC at 137 Sullivan Street, between Prince and Houston Str., New York. (pics via various sites check PTC Facebook for more info.)

GANT SPRING /SUMMER 2012

Can't think of a better start of the New Year then with the GANT Spring/Summer 2012 look book. The collection is split in themes like American Preppy, Navy Nautical and the last 2 looks are called Luxury. All of the looks have the high preppienes as we are used of GANT. The collection is full of seersucker, polo piques, madras and oxford shirts. Look forward to see the collection in the stores. Oh and don't forget to buy yourself a new navy blazer!!!!!
