Live and Let Tie
Well now. I’d like the boys of Tie or Die: Who Wore It Best? to take a bow: for those of us watching, they were two very dapper gents all October long. Jon and Ryan have helped me set my wardrobe expectations a little higher for young dudes in the work place.
You hear that, boys born after 1980? It is no longer enough to merely wash your work clothes– from now on, you’re going to have to match.
These lads were hardly at a loss for votes; the verdict came in at Jon: 2795 total votes and Ryan with 3532 total votes. Despite some nail-biter weeks, the verdict is out: Ryan won.
Congrats! And for the record, Ryan: I think you look damn fine in a vest. We’ll be awaiting Jon’s …aftermath.. in photos. High fives!

Rachel Zoe’s daily newsletter features a Parallel Universe section which highlights accessories and clothes at more practical price points. Today’s is a cute ring from Banana Republic. We think cocktail rings and bold accessories are fun, especially for the colder months when our fingers aren’t swollen. Ew.
The fashion bible Vogue has a page that mentions New York’s Fashion Night Out, but also has a guide featuring 100 buys under 100 bucks. We’re fans of a good buy, and always think of Grace Coddington, Vogue’s creative director and our favorite underdog from The September Issue.
The Inky gave Coco Before Chanel three out of four stars! All the more reason to see Gabrielle “Coco” in her early days if you haven’t already.
NBC10 points the way to USB drives that are more glam than usual. They’re a bit pricier than flash drives, but we don’t think that you’ll ever lose it.
Lastly, this website featuring a competition of ‘who wore it best’ is possibly the cutest we’ve ever seen. Two guys from Philly are competing with each other to see who wears a tie the best every work day in October. They also have to wear a shirt with some sort of collar. Go take a look. It’s cute. We promise.
