The Marc Jacobs store, and the park 2 blocks away from it...

Early morning report Bleecker St NYC.
As always, the window dislpays at our good friends at Ralph Lauren is flawless.
And RRL has outdone themselves this spring with a vintage nautical story that oozes of denim, rope-trimmings and jersey fabrics that I actually could see myself making love to, that's how good it is.
The natural, non-artificial look on the finishing and washings is unparallelled to any other I've seen this season.
If you do not know the process of actually manufacturing garments like these, you cannot even begin to understand the huge ammount of detail and work that goes into each garment, it's mindboggling.
I humbly fall to my knees in awe of this company, over and over again.

Breaking News (?)

While having breakfast at Bus Stop Café on hudson this morning a car crashed and caught fire. I ran out with my beloved camera and got some nice shots. NYC, the city where the shit goes down.
(By the way, Bus Stop Café is kind of nice, they have a great oatmeal with apple, walnuts & cinnamon)

We will be offering a very limited ammount of vintage NIKE sneakers in our project store at PUB.
They're produced 1979-80 all in original sunbleahced boxes, orange swoosh and everything.
These are pristine, never even been laced up..yummy stuff for the sneaker nerds, I tells you!

Womens sizes only, hook your babe up or die!

There will also be a fresh load of vintage gant shirts (shortsleeved, really nice checks) coming in next week!

Dinner last night.
Linguine with olive oil, crushed garlic and anchovy.

Boil the linguini appx 8-9 minutes (De Cecco if you can find it)
(Should only be nearly al dente, it will become perfect in the pan later on)

Heat 4 tbl spoons of olive oil in a pan, crush 2 cloves of garlic and drop into the oil.
Let simmer for 2 minutes and then remove.

Mash 4-5 anchovy in the pan with a fork together with a pinch of pepperoncini and let simmer for a while.

Drain the pasta (get all the water and vapor out or the sauce won't stick the way you want it to)

Now, throw the pasta into the anchovy oil and fry for 3 minutes on high heat.

Devour with a light Red. (why not a slightly chilled Beaujoulais Noveau?)

And, as always there's a little something for the nerds.
Notice the vintage Sabatier knife.
1960's, carbon steele, and sharp like a motherfucker.

Buon appetito tutti!

Todays shopping.

Nuff said!

I'm I the only one who have noticed the similarity between TOD's latest campaign and Edward Munch's classic angst painting "Skriet"?
Total weird-o-rama.
Evil I tells you!

Meat = Love.

The week in spain has come to an end.
Somewhat tanned, rested and with aching thighs from the daily 8 km
morning run the memory that stays is when we bought the 15 lbs Pata
Negra at the local food market.
This is how food should be presented and bought.

These morning walks are transforming my hometown into some kind of Ivy League campus..or maybe it's just wishful thinking.
You see what you want to see.

I'll be hangin out in our house in spain for the next week.
No internet, no cell, no work.
I'll be cooking, drinking cold beer, exercising (maybe), sleeping (definately), gaining weight (mos def!) and reading.
Wearing worn out espadrilles and equally worn oxford shirts.
Very Hemingway-ish, but without the angst.

Unless I'm able to crack the password to the neighbors wifi, then I'll probably be working.

Meanwhile, you might want to listen to US Royalty, they're kind of great.

Something is happening!

I would swap the kids for this one, hands down.
(Sorry kids, but daddy really wants a Dodge Charger)

San Jose Hotel has a sister hotel, also in Austin Texas. Also a kick ass place judging by the website.
The same little short movies to show the place, love it, check it!

Got some good coverage from the opening, these pics are by far my favourite ones!
We take a bow.

Bike-o-rama.

It's time to dust of the old bike.
I think my favourite is the "James". It's from 1931, believe it or not.
The "Gloria" (with the awesome water flasks) ain't half ass either..

Take a walk in my shoes

Talking a long walk through a Stockholm not yet really awake, it
doesn't get much better.
It is, hands down, the most beatiful place in the world.

Finally, the project store!

The new GANT project store opened in Stockholm yesterday.
