Happy Tuesday

I thought you might enjoy this Amy Adams for Band of Outsiders shoot. 

I'm a sucker for polaroids. Always.

Also: There's a new Dear ESB over on 100 Layer Cake! (It's been a while. Let's hope they don't eat me alive...)

What should I put on my head?

Dear ESB,

I'm having a smallish, city hall type wedding in Melbourne, Australia in late April followed by a very long lunch with lots of wine and cocktails at one of our favourite restaurants with our immediate family and a handful of close friends. 

I've found the dress and a necklace but I have no idea what to wear on my head. My brain hurts from looking at bridal websites and I have Etsy fatigue! Since you and your readers have impeccable taste, I would appreciate any suggestions.

Anyone feel like shopping this for me?

I'm swimming with the sea lions today. Or drinking margaritas or whatever.

So many good things happening at once

1) I ♥ Kirsten Dunst.

2) I ♥ Band of Outsiders.

3) I am a sucker for polaroids.

4) These photos were taken at The Huntington Botanical Gardens in Pasadena, which I just visited for the first time with my dad and his lady. The cactus garden, in particular, is fabulous.

4a) You can get married at said gardens for only $100,000! Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!

BOO: Not just for the groom

Ted Danson, yesyesyes people, the father of the bride, is working this Band of Outsiders suit.

And Christina has a terrific tip: BOO runs small, so it works well for women who like to wear men's clothes.
 
Confederacy has a few things available online, or if you're in Los Angeles you can visit the store.

Hey Jesse, thumbs up on the Band of Outsiders suit.

I watch too much TV

Way too much TV. Especially when there are other more important things I should be doing.

But I won't lie, I'm pretty stoked that Jason Schwarztman's new HBO series, Bored to Death, premieres this Sunday.

Here he is rocking Band of Outsiders (via Vain and Vapid)

Thom Browne made the suit cool again.

Don't argue with me. I read it in New York Magazine.

Band of Outsiders has taken it one step further. I totally dig the window pane check with the contrasting striped shirt. And this light suit photographed in Paris by The Sartorialist would be fabulous for a summer wedding. (I'm also a fan of seersucker, if done right.)

I must admit, I'm still on the fence about boat shoes, but man are they everywhere. If you rock 'em at your wedding, will you send me pictures? I'm serious.

p.s. what's your dad wearing to your wedding?

Paul Jasmin looks pretty slammin in Band of Outsiders.

Via all plaidout, of course, who points out that several young designers have started using older men for their look books.

p.s. My dad wore a white Mexican blouse thing. But he's a 6'2" sculptor. He pulled it off.

I'm digging these ties by Band of Outsiders

They have a vintage vibe like these, but the skinny gives them modern appeal.

and for a different take on the 60's

Have you caught Mad Men yet? It's my new obsession. Here are some men who know how to wear suits.

I'm a GQ fiend, what can I say. I love the almost-clashing patterns they've put together. And isn't his rumpled hair just the right touch?
