In the Driver's Seat

August 25, 2016 Guest User

The smell of gasoline, the feel of buttery leather, gleaming metal, shining paint. Is there anything cooler? Alexander McQueen, Dean Martin and James Dean all embody the automotive enthusiast lifestyle and with it the effortless masculine style it projects.

A man’s answer to a woman’s little black dress, the cool leather and warm textiles of a wardrobe inspired by cars and those who love them will never get old. It always works and it never fails to give a little confidence boost, whether you need it or not. It doesn’t need to be thought too hard about because it’s so deeply engrained. It’s reminiscent of days spent playing with Matchbox cars, stacks of books providing a launching ramp for those cars to make impossible jumps from sofa arm to coffee table edge.

Dress the look up with a hint of Glen plaid or down with a racing striped sweater. Bring it in to your home with a vintage car seat inspired sofa or a carbon fiber tray to keep on your bar.

As autumn begins to creep in, the desire to sit poolside is replaced with an itch to drive almost too fast on empty roads with the windows down. Contact Marlena to get the look.

Olympic Living

July 28, 2016 Guest User

The summers of the Olympic Games are the most exciting summers. Every TV in every bar is tuned to Ashton Eaton, Simone Biles and Michael Phelps. We fall asleep with the dulcet tones of Bob Costas’ voice in our ears. For two and a half weeks there is 24/7 motivation and inspiration to get better and stronger in our workouts and we know we aren’t the only ones who will have Team USA’s theme song, “Live Forever” by The Band Perry on our running playlist. This election year, we will take a break from our country seemingly tearing itself apart from the inside out and we will all unite and cheer for the athletes of the USA in Rio.

When we think about these athletes, we think of strength, streamlined power and grace. We don’t imagine they waste any energy, there’s nothing frivolous or unused in their mission to be the best. We can translate their focused energy into a sporty interior, with clean lines, athletic stripes and smooth sturdy leather.

There are also so many ways to incorporate athletic wear into a wardrobe. Designers know how on-the-go our lifestyles are now. We like versatile pieces to wear from coffee with a friend to the gym without looking like a rumpled laundry bag. We want durable duffel bags that we can comfortably sling over our shoulders during the commute to work and that will protect our work duds if we’re caught in a surprise thunderstorm on the track.

Contact Marlena to create the perfect pad to watch Team USA bring home the gold.
