Tennis Anyone?

My friend Blue Carreon and I both bought wooden tennis racquets at the flea market yesterday.  Mine is displayed in my blue and white porcelain umbrella stand in my entry.  If I tried displaying a new tennis racquet, it would definitely not have the same effect.  I miss the days before plastic and bright colors became the norm.  When people actually worse white to play tennis.  That's probably why I love this photos spread of model Anouck  Lepère in Elle Italia.  Now that's chic.

Be Cool Man

I had a lovely brunch date today with everyone's favorite comedic Canadian interior designer, Tommy Smythe.  Afterward, we perused the vintage offerings at the Garage Flea Market where we found a lot of amazing items that would have perfect for a bachelor pad project.  Maybe that's the reason I felt like posting a little more for the boys.  Who am I kidding, I'm sure the ladies enjoy these posts just as much as the men.  You're all welcome.
