I still remember the first time I read <i>Call of the Wild.</i> Not only did it mesmerize me, I wanted to be Buck. I think I was around 11 or 12. I became obsessed with sled dogs and the Iditarod. I remember telling my family that one day, 'when I was old enough' I'd enter the race. While that hasn't happened, I'm still enthralled by Mr. London's writing.<div> </div> <p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirRTzN6N1JGoYr8HHj1fY-fxOwByIzvcDO0-PSTiM-3nslnkAsH31YvYS9XbDbm8RtuBigBqglz5e2af79OgevQlKddSl9VkLpJBNd7mkuXjorZq6sbMg3M0NO6BChZ-geq4JNf8_RDJ8/s1600-h/jacklondon4-766761.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirRTzN6N1JGoYr8HHj1fY-fxOwByIzvcDO0-PSTiM-3nslnkAsH31YvYS9XbDbm8RtuBigBqglz5e2af79OgevQlKddSl9VkLpJBNd7mkuXjorZq6sbMg3M0NO6BChZ-geq4JNf8_RDJ8/s320/jacklondon4-766761.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401664261212867442" /></a></p><div></div>Of course, <i>White Fang</i> made me want to adopt a wolf. That didn't happen either, but I kept up with the reading. Although I loved the novels, I think London was really a master of the short form. His short stories are amazing. <i>To Build a Fire</i> is a true classic, and to this day my heart quickens alongside the man's as he struggles with the cold. London is able to turn nature into not just a force to be reckoned with, but also another character. A cunning, cruel character that forgives no mistake. The cold is never more palpable than in this struggle.<div> </div> <div> </div><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB5Gwut8f6hkvfTTsnFA1gq0mjyOG3Zdb8cd1_XxjZ1MzaZ-GxOBWfafq1gErLMkFwu55STolK0WkhKT-AOPOC373RNPOHVvLP-1WX13kEvL3g6tIp-xTtBrDTc8yITe745l4jc7DHzZc/s1600-h/jacklondon5-767592.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB5Gwut8f6hkvfTTsnFA1gq0mjyOG3Zdb8cd1_XxjZ1MzaZ-GxOBWfafq1gErLMkFwu55STolK0WkhKT-AOPOC373RNPOHVvLP-1WX13kEvL3g6tIp-xTtBrDTc8yITe745l4jc7DHzZc/s320/jacklondon5-767592.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401664264840100866" /></a></p> <div></div><div><br /></div><div></div>While I am given to verbosity, London's best work hovers around 7,500 words or less.

I've been feeling UNIQLO lately. This jacket is a perfect transitional jacket. It's got a removable quilted liner-which extends its use as a light rain shell to a fairly decent Fall and early Winter jacket. With the right layers, it's apropos for quite a few occasions. I found the chambray buried in a rack of flannels and skittle flavored hoodies one day wandering through the local Urban Outfitters this summer. I've never heard of Koto, but I like the shirt and the pocket details.

Not that this is really a costume at all. Actually, it's my best impression of Thom Browne. This is the other jacket I bought in Hong Kong a few weeks back (has it really been 2 months?) from Uniqlo. I picked the trousers up in Osaka after drooling over similar styles at BEAMS and Ciaopanic. I never was the biggest fan of cropped trousers, but the Japanese won me over.

It works with jeans and an untucked shirt as well as a blazer/trouser combo for more formal moments. The bandanna, which I've folded into a pocket square here, is great. Still haven't seen a shade quite like the plum chambray. Plus, whenever I get the urge to rob a bank, I have the perfect mask.

I know, I know, not so kosher to take from an abandoned house, but still, I figure we can call it 'salvaging' and it's okay, right?

Kind of an impulse buy, I wandered into the glasses shop in the small city at the base of the mountain one night with my sister. She told me before that glasses could be had at pretty amazing prices. A quick eye exam, 45 minutes, and 45 dollars later and here we are. I went for the oval shaped frames. That way I can look like a distinguished architect or modern artist, no? That or the goofy guy with funny shaped glasses. Either way I'm into it. greenjeanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04529659781493920909noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3214221358298320221.post-58553201874601147572009-10-11T03:24:00.003-04:002009-10-11T03:38:44.551-04:00my stuff<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJmmpqrxsaZFEbAMa4hji_8FwM46a-2PnsibxokZEptLta_bR69_25u5ngqcCkss9GXLq_3lvP9XGYTlGDPjd1OYyCcJLYVvLGEuHOP2rhaYZ_f2tD7a59MhG007zlqKmMr1azPxWOFrw/s1600-h/mystuff20b-784417.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJmmpqrxsaZFEbAMa4hji_8FwM46a-2PnsibxokZEptLta_bR69_25u5ngqcCkss9GXLq_3lvP9XGYTlGDPjd1OYyCcJLYVvLGEuHOP2rhaYZ_f2tD7a59MhG007zlqKmMr1azPxWOFrw/s320/mystuff20b-784417.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391240021349905538" /></a><br><div></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">Watch Cap:Beauty&Youth(United Arrows), Chambray:J.Crew, Denim:A.P.C,Shoes:Clarks, Rucksack:Fjallraven</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br> </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br></span></div><div></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5V6Hw0gUAsMq7nesgRUGTI7VZVkj1EiFRkfCcD_JOxGgOr4ZWTEGp-x4gBFfo6Q49qy25QXyEhyphenhyphenILaDC3Ex7PT1OBMBHCfvS8HByKY6QEPQsdWaYW7Dcfk9kaJlPArhfnZ7-kA3T8kGI/s1600-h/mystuff20a-786775.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5V6Hw0gUAsMq7nesgRUGTI7VZVkj1EiFRkfCcD_JOxGgOr4ZWTEGp-x4gBFfo6Q49qy25QXyEhyphenhyphenILaDC3Ex7PT1OBMBHCfvS8HByKY6QEPQsdWaYW7Dcfk9kaJlPArhfnZ7-kA3T8kGI/s320/mystuff20a-786775.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391240037267647330" /></a></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgapLD0jdaszsCssIi5VgMKnf1ZW17dBAoZgjzXxVc3AYhRVMlNosZrJ4BDKsUDsSTzVaouu7Ib6o5BbFJyREUiRxy01Xq2F_HrY0FHduHXAct7y8WcERnt2RRXD0fDvr4RwF_tn-fZhS8/s1600-h/mystuff20-789047.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgapLD0jdaszsCssIi5VgMKnf1ZW17dBAoZgjzXxVc3AYhRVMlNosZrJ4BDKsUDsSTzVaouu7Ib6o5BbFJyREUiRxy01Xq2F_HrY0FHduHXAct7y8WcERnt2RRXD0fDvr4RwF_tn-fZhS8/s320/mystuff20-789047.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391240043863259586" /></a></p>This is my <a href="http://a.abcnews.com/images/GMA/sipa_serpico_080417_ssh.jpg">Serpico </a>look. Fall is finally starting to hit the mountain here. Not cold enough for a full blown sweater or jacket, more of a good excuse to wear a new hat. I pass this telephone booth on my walks quite a bit (it's on the way to the cafe/restaurant my sister manages). Don't see phone booths anymore, so I had to take a few shots here. While I'm not testifying against dirty cops or going undercover, if I ever manage to look half as steezy as Frank Serpico, I would be a happy man. So grab your .45, a peacoat, and go handle some business.</div>greenjeanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04529659781493920909noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3214221358298320221.post-15063519134378469852009-10-08T05:27:00.002-04:002009-10-08T05:30:15.035-04:00photo safari<p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFnGiab9CTdLLA6rxMFnzKHq3HNBvRhN5quIMttQY_7lMI1McQ8Ol_kbiR0czUO17SbmZjvGFq2AqQG6q5vCuX-NBf9WDe41Bmcl7BS_gOtIQmPLVOUcU4OZoA0YiVe3_HkVGHj1XfwzE/s1600-h/louiesvcoffee-777569.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFnGiab9CTdLLA6rxMFnzKHq3HNBvRhN5quIMttQY_7lMI1McQ8Ol_kbiR0czUO17SbmZjvGFq2AqQG6q5vCuX-NBf9WDe41Bmcl7BS_gOtIQmPLVOUcU4OZoA0YiVe3_HkVGHj1XfwzE/s320/louiesvcoffee-777569.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390158522660391154" /></a></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrVQbAeSvN0T0KDpknoCol89iTWndK3EufSYbxwQlsSD-f9ukbd0LD1qCH_uf7YM-dyhD5onvZLk5X_bneJwrprRZ9JJESlN0m1TLzy6LyawjXgOJ2H7vqzTXxPF6HWVobQTzOd-lYAL4/s1600-h/carvedbamboo-780388.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrVQbAeSvN0T0KDpknoCol89iTWndK3EufSYbxwQlsSD-f9ukbd0LD1qCH_uf7YM-dyhD5onvZLk5X_bneJwrprRZ9JJESlN0m1TLzy6LyawjXgOJ2H7vqzTXxPF6HWVobQTzOd-lYAL4/s320/carvedbamboo-780388.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390158531508376466" /></a></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1UbGXGLhwdy1bPFX6YWuM4sXZLM47EQYY_fiPRi4gt1rq7H4Jt_diZ1pn-DsBTtZf26n94LVwrQ8yxvtLzD6_cpMNdiAUydtfCm5HA7lVoZF9bVIugyDNL5zdgbKhvXFJA519saQm7dM/s1600-h/treesandsun-782543.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1UbGXGLhwdy1bPFX6YWuM4sXZLM47EQYY_fiPRi4gt1rq7H4Jt_diZ1pn-DsBTtZf26n94LVwrQ8yxvtLzD6_cpMNdiAUydtfCm5HA7lVoZF9bVIugyDNL5zdgbKhvXFJA519saQm7dM/s320/treesandsun-782543.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390158539126564994" /></a></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4l2g7iXo8Ljx5iJjnk-P80MGrGMqLWOlozKBRuy3XU9A24VQhvGwN89mWSL9L-GLq6nUn2wBx7EphHrDmSRKLRcN1GlgN7rgSnCjFY6giHZh0Id5cov3bAXp50XAHktZlnaxv8njXhd0/s1600-h/msbike1-784575.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4l2g7iXo8Ljx5iJjnk-P80MGrGMqLWOlozKBRuy3XU9A24VQhvGwN89mWSL9L-GLq6nUn2wBx7EphHrDmSRKLRcN1GlgN7rgSnCjFY6giHZh0Id5cov3bAXp50XAHktZlnaxv8njXhd0/s320/msbike1-784575.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390158554825051842" /></a></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU9ETDyLhb6JkRm6yVCBcUkJ45cV9v79wKOZ2dU2tDEnpwW2XKpiwmT5bL9DD2D3NWfT36Qr7ur3bA86IsUdDwxo8JkEIloYxor2hfGDAd8vAmRkD6LPTiAFRhDVlKmKypRzuBZpixGoc/s1600-h/msbike2-787115.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjU9ETDyLhb6JkRm6yVCBcUkJ45cV9v79wKOZ2dU2tDEnpwW2XKpiwmT5bL9DD2D3NWfT36Qr7ur3bA86IsUdDwxo8JkEIloYxor2hfGDAd8vAmRkD6LPTiAFRhDVlKmKypRzuBZpixGoc/s320/msbike2-787115.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390158562606717666" /></a></p><p class="mobile-photo"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmxs46GKza8OnSR4-tzgfc21pf9WPyf5nuEBfTcnbg5JZDIq8RWt-0m-_VxPEL9fcIQEH8oie4oDroZWpo1S3y76xqAAhWWRQ1M0fHMsnxYiz39jUsDBImyCiceHe6ykbpy8nQeToQVOI/s1600-h/msbike3-789395.jpg"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmxs46GKza8OnSR4-tzgfc21pf9WPyf5nuEBfTcnbg5JZDIq8RWt-0m-_VxPEL9fcIQEH8oie4oDroZWpo1S3y76xqAAhWWRQ1M0fHMsnxYiz39jUsDBImyCiceHe6ykbpy8nQeToQVOI/s320/msbike3-789395.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5390158571515599490" /></a></p><br>greenjeanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04529659781493920909noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3214221358298320221.post-47492908504633889272009-10-07T10:30:00.003-04:002009-10-07T11:00:49.261-04:00Stuff For Your Girl<a></a></p>I found <a href="http://www.dace.ca/pages/shop">dace </a>on Max's (from <a href="http://www.allplaidout.com">AllPlaidout</a>) inspiration board <a href="http://wellplaid.tumblr.com/">WellPlaid</a>.

Based out of Vancouver, Canada, Dace Moore has been in business for herself since 2002. dace is one of the more complete lines I've seen in womenswear. The styling for the online shop is amazing and I think I am more than slightly in love with the model, or any girl that dresses like this (is that creepy?). Seriously, though.

The food, the barbershop, and the clothing are all spot on. Fall is here and Winter is just around the corner. Be prepared. Everyone needs a good solid suit for the colder months. And there's nothing like a three piece Donegal grey suit, right ladies? Handmade in New York from 100% deadstock English Donegal, this could easily be the only Fall/Winter suit you need.. <div> <br></div><div>The Machinist shirt is another gem from Freemans. Short loomed Japanese cotton paired with Italian mother of pearl buttons makes it an obvious choice for adding to your closet. The button on the upper sleeve to keep it rolled up for doing all that hard work we do is a great detail. </div> <div><br></div><div>Don't fall into thinking you can only wear a suit as nice as this formally.

Solid parkas are a necessity where I'm from and often times have little to do with style. Survival is key when you're trudging to school in February, dodging snowballs, and trying not to slip on ice covered sidewalks. A good parka helps you enjoy the beauty that is winter. Living in the midwest has garnered me quite the collection over the years of nylon, quilted, and down stuffed parkas. That doesn't mean I don't notice a good thing when I see it.<div> <br></div><div>The first photo is part of the amazing Nigel Cabourn collection. Inspired by the first ascent of Everest, Mr. Cabourn's collection is as meticulously constructed as it is aesthetically appealing. The Mountain Rucksack Parka is certainly one of my favorites this season. I love wool and the hop-sack style wool outer is choice. The term 'investment piece' is bandied about a lot these days, but I do think that this is such a piece. I especially love the built in rucksack on the back in a contrast color. Check out <a href="http://www.oipolloi.com/store/NigelCabourn-IrvineRucksackParkaGreen-6391.html" target="_blank">Oi Polloi</a> for more detailed shots. </div> <div><br></div><div>The second jacket is the CW Corona Parka from Woolen Mills by Woolrich. This is probably one of the more perfect parkas I've seen in awhile. The knee length helps cut down on wintry winds, while the fur lined canvas outer keeps you warm and dry. I also really like that the lining is removable-I always end up wearing the lining of parkas a lot.

There's always a hint of whimsy mixed with an edge that makes you know it was designed for really, really cool girls. Girls that are out of our leagues, but somehow deign us worthy of their time. To thank her for such magnanimity, how about something from the Fall/Winter collection?<div> <br></div><div>The Lydia cotton shift is a classic silhouette and would be perfect for any date you could dream up. Plus it has studs. I think girls like studs. The fact that a big inspiration (and the namesake) come from Beetlejuice makes it even more perfect. Especially if your girl is, to quote Lydia Deetz "...strange and unusual...". (trust me, girls who are strange and unusual make the best girlfriends)</div> <div><br></div><div>The Veruca Pepper Hoodie is one of my favorites. It instantly makes me think of that girl you see strolling down the street that you never, ever forget. Girls-pair this with raw skinny denim and I promise all boys will swoon. </div> <div><br></div><div>The skull necklace is amazing. The fact that it's real bone makes it even that much better. This is the necklace you get when clearly, she's cooler than you. She liked Joe Strummer way before everyone else, can drink more than you, and yet she still holds your hand in the most delicate manner ever. </div> <div><br></div><div>Get it all at SnoozerLoser's online shop. Tell them I sent you. (I gotta get cool points somehow). </div>greenjeanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04529659781493920909noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3214221358298320221.post-44264440123684146502009-09-23T07:51:00.007-04:002009-09-23T08:13:32.337-04:00my stuff<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKS65HaMCbAA1c6ptVSOE64jIoD0PFsWpdm3BJkHSW0JNjFUgJZLNHvs45npyMxP3jIlBN7JE_gDn1Ds9MTxFI6x89XG44cAZ_8qagnH93YAyMHRhgEAbNLWhjwR5-GkPTqRHs3pObjzU/s1600-h/mystuff19.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 230px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjKS65HaMCbAA1c6ptVSOE64jIoD0PFsWpdm3BJkHSW0JNjFUgJZLNHvs45npyMxP3jIlBN7JE_gDn1Ds9MTxFI6x89XG44cAZ_8qagnH93YAyMHRhgEAbNLWhjwR5-GkPTqRHs3pObjzU/s400/mystuff19.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5384631677684524898" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;">hat:UnitedArrows, vest:Ciaopanic, shirt:Obey, denim:APC, boots:Ciaopanic, rucksack:Fjallraven</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">Remember when I said that all I needed were the perfect pair of boots and I'd be set for a fall uniform?

My favorite feature is how the shoulder straps can be cinched tight and snapped in place, making the bag a tote rather than a rucksack. Perfect for running around the city, a day hike in the bamboo forest, or packing lunch for that picnic you've been meaning to take her on. Don't want to fly to New York or Tokyo to buy it?

This street is about a five minute walk from my hotel in shinjuku. The lights, sounds, and people are amazing here. Not speaking any Japanese at all (not that I speak a great deal of cantonese), I've had to rely on the kindness of strangers to navigate. And everyone, I mean everyone, has been more than helpful and patient. From people telling me the fare for the subway, to the guy at BEAMS walking me to BEAMS T, rather than just showing me on my map (he did have a chuckle when I showed him the superfuture map-I think he sees it a lot); everyone is super nice here. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio_3027YN9PWmYdS5h1XDK__yhYLb7ar9aFO61jQfDMwD0hWAqL_KD_HqIog6gPJ_UEgj5T8pJWd2dsiIyfGAlhAV87ZwBZ6Ej4bngV1wl_WaJufb6_deAIm8kUINW-avIZhGiOim6gMQ/s1600-h/bosscoffee.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEio_3027YN9PWmYdS5h1XDK__yhYLb7ar9aFO61jQfDMwD0hWAqL_KD_HqIog6gPJ_UEgj5T8pJWd2dsiIyfGAlhAV87ZwBZ6Ej4bngV1wl_WaJufb6_deAIm8kUINW-avIZhGiOim6gMQ/s400/bosscoffee.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383540449926732898" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">At first I thought it was funny that Mr. Lee Jones would endorse coffee.

I never heard of the store/brand before, but it's great. Much more affordable than most of the big names here, Ciaopanic does a great job of mixing workwear, streetwear, and functional gear. I don't really understand the name, but I do like the clothes.

The views are amazing and being able to touch bamboo this thick is pretty neat. I've been trying to run or walk around at least for an hour or so for the past few days and it's criminal how little I've seen of the mountain. Everything from waterfalls to koi ponds are at my doorstep. If you get the chance, come visit Monganshan-I know a pretty cool pastry chef/manager of a really nice coffee shop/restaurant (and it's not just 'cause she's my sister)...<div><br /></div><div>To the clothes:</div><div>Jeans are the Edwin 503s I got back in Hong Kong. It's crazy how one wash makes such a difference. These are much softer than the A.P.C.s. I do really like the red selvage. I'm leaving for Osaka and Tokyo on Wednesday and now that I have Edwins, I'll fit in right?</div> <div><br /></div><div>The shirt is a Dior shirt I've had since high school. No, I didn't buy a Dior shirt just to wear to school-a friend of my mom's gave me a ton of shirts they had laying around when they heard I had to wear them as part of my uniform. I always liked this one and have kept it in rotation ever since. </div> <div><br /></div><div>You can see The Hill-Side bandanna peeking out-it's really come in handy on this trip. Plus, with the mustache, when I wear it around my neck I totally kind of look like a real train robber. Can't beat that.</div> <div><br /></div><div>And of course Clarks desert treks. The crepe sole is really comfy, especially on all the stone steps here on the mountain. I think I'm going to grab a pair of luggers while I'm here too. You can never have enough Clarks, can you?</div>greenjeanshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04529659781493920909noreply@blogger.com2
