When I was in Brooklyn last October, I saw this coffee shop called Seersucker. I didn't went in, but I imagine that it looks like this. This place could easily be my third place. Anybody else who want's a coffee?

COLOR IS THE NEW BLACK







This summer it will be hard to resist, not buying a colored pant. It's a must have piece in your closet. Combine it with a simple plain white shirt or with a club blazer and you look fresh and crisp.

OH LA LA GOYARD C'EST BEAU






In 1853, one year before Louis Vuitton was founded, Francois Goyard took over a trunkmaking workshop where he formed what is now known as Maison E. Goyard - the "E" being a homage to his father Edme.  The Goyard's famous "Y" chevron pattern representing the Goyard family tree. The fabric has a pattern of three chevrons, placed together to form the letter "Y". Today you can order your bag with your initials or stripes in your favorite colors. Whenever you are in Paris visit the shop at 352 Rue St. Honore.
