BlackBlue

Leslie told me about this new clothing boutique called BlackBlue that recently opened it's doors in St.Paul. I can't wait to check it out. It carries mostly menswear, but from the looks of their blog they definitely have some great women's clothing and shoes too. The shop itself has the best decor and look- simple and classically cool. It looks like they're having quite a lot of fun too. I love how they take pictures of their customer's and post them on their site. I'm also excited to have a place to bring Ben....I bet he's really excited too :)

for the boys

Finally! A post for the boys (for the 2.5 that read this blog...). I have always been a sucker for guys who wear t-shirts (preferably of the old variety). One my earliest memories of first liking Ben was when I showed up at his house one night (12 years ago?) and he was wearing an old ratty blue t-shirts (he still wears). I've had some good luck with finding cool t-shirts off Etsy for him and I thought I would share a few..... I can't buy him this one because I already own it for myself and we're not that kind of couple (yet), but I love this etsy shop. It also comes in German...

Birds of North America shirt? Can't go wrong. I love the vintage look to it, and who doesn't appreciate a little Audubon action?

Ben would burn this t-shirt if I bought it for him, but I find it kind of adorable and I know all you cat lovers out there would too :)

Again-- I am digging simple shapes right now. I kind of want this one for myself.

BTW- I still have had no booze, I did eat out (against my will! But it was a special occasion [which was OK'd remember?], and I haven't bought anything for myself EXCEPT I did return a skirt I purchased last month and exchanged it for booties [still waiting on those] which doesn't really count right?
