The collars are mandarin and the pockets are plentiful and the buttons are made of ANTLER. Antler! Do not get the version of this blazer with brass buttons. Itâs equally traditional, so look closely before you buy. Search terms you can use for Ebay or Etsy or your Euro vintage site of choice are: âTyrolean,â âTracht,â and âJankerââplus âmens jacket.â Only buy the male version of this blazer most especially if you are a woman. The whole look here is that of having your date drape his tuxedo jacket around your shoulders at the end of a long, black-tie gala. Except instead of moonlight and champagne flutes itâs lunchtime in the alps and your boyfriendâs speaking German. You canât understand a word heâs saying to anyone at this mountainside boar hunt, but you will never forget the earnest look in one Austrian aristocratâs eyes as speared a tiny sausage with a toothpick and said: âVhen you vear zhis jacket, you must always zhink about zhe summer.â Now listen. These blazers are wool. Alpine summer is brisk. I wear mine even year roundâperhaps even especially during the winter over holiday-party dresses because the color scheme of Austrian black tie is just so goddamn elvin and Christmassy. But I always think, for an instant, of the summer when I put one of these special jackets on. And now I hope you do, too.

Tag says Eddie Bauer and I think it's inspired by their Yukon Jacket? I can't take credit for this find. Friends and I were visiting a vintage shop in Austin. I was not looking for another jacket. But everyone tried this on and took it off in disappointment. So I tried it just to see. Fit like a glove. Best clothing purchase of the year.
no, i don't know how to pose for photos

I feel like dressing like a little arrogant aristocrat is gonna be very big in 2024. What better way to signal your upwardly mobile ambition than with this classic garment. From the docks Nantucket to the streets of West Miami. You can literally wear these prints anywhere and fit right in. Truly a must have for a young man cruising the singles scene lol.

Ever heard of it?! You need it more than you think you do! Start with spools of 1.5 inch âdouble-facedâ satin (Iâve linked my favorite Amazon brand) in the specific colors of: black, crimson, turquoise, goldenrod/marigold, and sort of a icy, slate-gray, periwinkle blue. A deep, wine-red burgundy in .5 inch velvet and an Easter-y, baby pink (or blue or yellow or lilac!) in .25 inch satin will also come in surprisingly handy. Use for beautifying hairstyles, presents, and bouquets of all kinds. Giving someone a single flower is made a thousand times fancier just by tying a bow on it.

If the heel isnât walkable then just call it what it is: A tiny art installation for your closet. Unwalkable shoes sit on shelves like small leather sculptures! The very purpose of shoes is to increase your mobility and comfortânot to limit your stamina and plans for the night! Stop wasting money and start engaging with reality instead. You will never wear them. Save the money.

Go type âmobilesâ into the search bar on Etsy. The results dazzle. And this kind of art takes up zero floor or wall space in an apartment! Matte, metallic, felted, wood, stained glass, sea glass, origami, Calder riffs⊠Mobiles have it all and Etsy has all the mobilesâgood ones start as low as $35. Technically their correct term is âkinetic sculptures,â but I call my own collection my houseâs âhanging gardens.â
