Since it’s Fashion Week (which means brand new Style Icons!) and we always like a good challenge, we’d like to ask, “Who, what, or where would you like to see be featured?“ Give it to us, we can take it.

It’s September and New York Fashion Week is upon us, which means that Fashion’s Night Out is just a couple of days away! For the 2nd year in a row, FNO will be celebrating with fashion, events, shopping, and giveaways. Last year I was busy illustrating tote bags over at Coach, so this year I plan on taking advantage of all festivities going on.
First stop? To see my best gal, the talented Miss Courtney Wotherspoon, who will be creating custom monograms on leather bags over at the brand new Reed Krakoff store on Madison! With so many great events going on, it’s really hard to figure out just where to go. Any other good tips?
In an effort to do some research on Hoosier Cabinets (more on that later) I ran across a few unrelated beauties that got me off track, since I have a serious weakness for vintage metal things (hence the early Metallica currently playing on my iPod).

Spotted this little gem while upstate this weekend. Not only was this done in sidewalk chalk, but I think someone relies a little too heavily on spellcheck.
Son-of-a-bicth!
Happy Labor Day weekend, dear Thersians! May it be filled with BBQs, beer, and perhaps even a large body of water of some sort.
Ok I have to confess something here.. Wes and I tend to work on our THERSIC posts independently, most of the time reading through them when it goes up like everyone else. So this morning when I saw his British Racers post (see below), I burst out laughing.
My eyes went immediately to the photo, skipping over the title of the post. My 1st thought was, Why the hell did he just post a picture of the Medieval Times knights? Two seconds later I realized that I’ve probably been to one too many dinner & tournaments..
sadly I took at least one of these myself

Now that Hurricane Earl it officially cruising up the east coast, we thought it might be the perfect time to share this series of hurricane drawings created by our very talented friend, Stephen Floyd. You need to click to enlarge, because each of the 30 hurricanes comes complete with a short and often hilarious bio. I’m not sure if any of these are still available, but I’ll fight whoever gets in my way of owning one.
See the rest of the series HERE.
Yes, re-used church pews can look great, especially when you see them used well in bars & restaurants here in NYC other cities. As big of a fan I am of re-purposing, I think they never look as good as when they are in an old church, as above.
Mt. Enon Baptist Church interior, ca. 1888 via Vanishing South Georgia.. Brian Brown is in the process of photographing nearly every old structure in south Georgia. His blog is truly a visual parade of southern vernacular architecture and other beautiful structures.
I’ve seen this Gulf oil spill-inspired spread from a recent issue of Vogue Italia around on various sites and I know it has drawn a lot of criticism. I personally think the photos are haunting and beautiful, but yet still evoke the same sense of sadness that those previously published in various media publications. Since the spill has been an ongoing topic in the media, it was only a matter of time before other media outlets (ie: fashion magazines) dealt with it.
Of course everyone is entitiled to their opinion, and I think some may argue that this spread exploits the spill and the sadness that surrounds it, but I think that Vogue rather smartly used this spread to make a statement and bring more awareness to all of those effected by it.
We have so many great non-wedding photos from our two weeks down in Georgia, that I feel like if we don’t post some of them, they’ll be filed into one of our many virtual folders never to be seen again. Round #1.
Surprised to learn that Wes had a previous modeling career in the chicken industry?
Disappointed not to see any children moving in slow motion
Still trying to figure out what the hell these giant tires could be used for
A sign outside a small antique store & straight to the point
My brother thought this may translate to ‘git-R-done’
Even the electrical boxes are friendly down south!
Comedians, please steer clear of this airport
As the sister to a real-life chocohalic, I always have my eyes peeled for a pretty bar of chocolate, or in this case, nice packaging for a cup of the hot stuff. Designed by Kyle Tezak for Mindy’s Hot Chocolate in Chicago, the labels can be peeled back for a fun little peep show.. plus, I’ve heard their hot chocolate is killer.
