stuff for your girl

Steven Alan girls make me melt. Get your girl the camden jumper and she'll look classy and sexy all rolled into one magnificent girl. Plus it has pockets.

Everyone needs a good trench, whether they be girl or boy. It just so happens that girls look way better in them than us. This gabardine number by coming soon will make her look like that Russian spy who convinced you to steal documents from the embassy while you were studying abroad.

I think the key to a shirt like this for girls is fitted, but not too tight. Too tight and I think it strays way too close to the 'sexy secretary' look. Mr. Alan's reverse seam shirts are perfect. Sometimes girls, it's the simple things we love about you. Like the way you look in a shirt and jeans. Or the way you roll up your sleeves. Even if we never mention it, we always notice.

So I was perusing my favorite blogs after the Tigers' game today and Indigo&Cloth pointed me towards this interview with Steven Alan on fashionista. Cool things I learned: Mr. Alan does a lot. And wakes up early. Oh, and he likes The Catcher in the Rye. But also The Fountainhead, which I can't really co-sign. But thanks for the nice shirts!

Steven Alan makes good shirts. Although a tad rich for my blood, I always keep an eye out for a good sale (like the one a little birdy told me about at barney's co-op on Monday). I dare you to find a better madras out there. The reverse-stitching thing is cool, but really I'm all about the tailoring and the patterns. Slightly slimmer fitting, these shirts look good with denim or a suit. My pick is the madras, although you can never go wrong with a good solid plaid. I say always opt for the long sleeve and roll it up.
