MANIMAL









MANIMAL has some really cool Native-American inspired necklaces, moccasins and even baby booties. Everything is handmade in Brooklyn by designer Kristen Lombardi (who started the line after a trip to the Southwest). They also have some vegan pieces, how thoughtful!

A House in Maine








I just revisited this old Men's Vogue article on the home of Rogues Gallery founder, Alex Carleton.  His beautiful home in Cape Elizabeth, Maine is authentic, calm and inviting.
