New England Inspiration
One of the best parts of being a younger designer is interacting with other people in my same position. Some of my best friends in the industry happen to be people who are also trying to make a name for themselves in fashion. From the sweet belles at Southern Proper or my friends at Mountain Khakis, it’s always great to meet someone new. Recently, I’ve been in touch with a young designer out of Rhode Island named Kiel James Patrick.
The Cowboy in Me
Coming to Texas, I had a mission to find some replacement boots. I’ve had the same pair since Sophomore year of college and they have gone to Hell and back. The soles are nearly done and they need some extreme repair. And it’s not hard to find leather/boot dealers in Texas.
True Grit’s Urban Sophistication
It’s finally getting a bit breezy outside. And with the holidays approaching, I have to head up to the Northeast for both Thanksgiving and Christmas. Now, while I’m not thrilled to be traveling yet again after just getting off of the road – I am excited to sport some new items in my closet. One of my favorite new pieces came from a clothing line out of California called True Grit Dry Goods.

Oops, had to go there again!
My travel season is nearly coming to a close, but I definitely had a crazy week in the Delta. After spending time around Jackson, MS and the Greenville area. I got to run into an old fraternity brother Tripp which was nice, but Tuesday night I had to pack and drive all evening to Mobile, AL. Somehow I got a bit turned around by my TomTom) which sent me down the MS border by New Orleans. Now, I’m not complaining because it was FAT TUESDAY!
On the Road Again…
My life has definitely been a bit hectic over the months of February and March. I’ll have visited 8 states within nearly 4 weeks! Last week I hit Tennessee, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina. Now, I’m off to the Mississippi Delta for a few days. Only problem is, I’ve really gone through all of my GO-TO music on my iPod.

Charlotte’s Surf N Turf
Charlotte is always on the front of trends because they are still a growing city, and control a lot of the banking industry in the US. The newest rage is a place called Cowfish which is in the Southpark Mall area. Just like the name sounds, they serve burgers, sushi, and can even combine the two. I tried to go there Thursday but there was a 2.5 hour wait, then luckily on Friday my good friend Thomas who owns the store George Gibson’s in Athens, GA had reservations.
