Boy Style

So the posh prepster needs a little arm candy to go a long with her cutting edge style. 

I know Zac Efron is supposed to be marketed to make tween girls drool, but as his interview in Interview proclaims he wants to be cast out of the teeny-bopper role and considered for darker and more edgy roles. I can handle that. I am not going to hide my shame, I love him! 

And not just because he looks good all muddy -- see Interview's Editorial Photoshoot. I actually do like his style -- he has that relaxed, west-coast boy look. You know I love a good west coast boy, and he is from Cali!

And then there is Chase. Such a pretty boy, even without Gossip Girl's stylist Eric Damon. Just look at him in that suit. 

I admire a boy who has good style. It probably stems from the fact that my father was an extremely sharp dresser. He loved his Armani suits and he had the best collection of ties.

In fact, he was the one that would take Jaime and me to Last Chance. He was the king of bargain shopping. He could find that one amazing piece, and it of course would be discounted or on sale. He had a knack for it. And being an architect, I think he just had an eye for what worked -- maybe it's in my blood :-)

Growing up I went shopping more with my father than my mother for clothes. Sure, she dragged us around in search of the perfect handbag or shade of lipstick, but it was my dad who had the eye and talent for dressing his girls stylishly. 

I miss those shopping trips. And I miss my parents...gone but never forgotten....
