Blue stuff, and stuff that goes with blue stuff.

Tres Bien Shop has given e-mail notice that their sale on spring/summer merch will start this week--Friday, July 2, 8 a.m. EDT, to be exact. Had my eye on a few things that may or may not exist in my size by the time the sale starts, but I'll be checking in Friday morning for a shot at them. Nearly all of them
happen to be variously smurftoned. Good time for a poor rendering of them via polyvore.





S.N.S. Herning Stark cardigan in blue. 
Bleu de Paname striped oxford in... blue.
Mark McNairy Red Brick Soul penny loafers. Not blue.
Rogues Gallery washed cotton cable knit sweater. Blue.
Our Legacy Authentic blue jeans.

Field notes.

Spent Sunday doing two things most people would probably prefer to avoid, generally--running 8 kilometers (in DC's St. Patrick's Day 8k) and then going to the mall. All in the name of research. The Tyson's Corner, Virginia L.L. Bean store  is the first to carry Bean's new Signature line, which I had been keeping an eye on (thanks to Off the Cuff for the tip). The line, headed by Rogues Gallery  creative director Alex Carleton, tries to take advantage of Bean's current, uh, currency and offer something to the nonretired set. I took the opportunity to test out my new phone photo app, Vignette, and I would say that the results of both the line and the app are mixed. More pics after the jump...
