Happy Friday + Labor Day Weekend!

I’m ending the week with some fancy and favorite husband accessories.

Hope you don’t mind.

Striped socks + oxfords (via 100 Layer Cake):

Love this collection of bow ties (visit their blog):

Wools ties – I am dreaming about autumn and winter days (via A.P.C.):

Inspired by this photograph:

Bravissimo!

As you may (or may not) know, we moved, down-sized, and after two months, I am *still* in the process of tossing, selling, and donating items.  Most of our items fall under the “tossing” category.  You name it, and between husband and myself, we most likely had a collection of it.  That may be slightly exaggerated, but it’s probably closer to the truth than you think.

One example is our small collection of magazines and department store catalogs from the 1960-70s.  Yes, these will be filed in the recycling bin (sorry, husband!), but I am grabbing some pics before I toss them.

The photos below are straight out of a 1970 issue of Redbook.

Italian…chairs…love!

Oh, also, if you are interested, I posted a few more photos from the same magazine here.

My great, great grandmother wrote to my grandmother with the loveliest penmanship on these postcards (see below), dated 1930s from Ascona, Switzerland.

Beautiful.
