snow days, snow suits, snow dragons

Way back during Snowmageddon V2, I spent a few days with the truck plowed into its spot. So, tromping off through midtown I went, dressed like so: Shall we call this my snow suit…? And while tromping about midtown, I stopped into one of my favored watering holes. During the stop, the neighboring bar laid […]

a week or two in review…

I’ve been sick and/or snowed in a good bit the past month, so I have less photos of fabulous garments to share… Photos and stories of Snowmageddon V2 coming soon… Stay warm as you journey on, my lovelies!

the week in review

Winter brings layers and layers mix up all sorts of textures. I have been having some fun. Allow me to share: I have found myself looking for a reason to strap on a tie. It’s a good space for me; I’m glad I found it. Journey on, my lovelies!

picking out patterns

When a man has an entire room for a closet, at some point limits have to be set. With sixteen feet of hanging bar for shirts alone, only so many of them can be solid blue before I can no longer stand it. From this point on, any shirts have to be of such quality […]

fancy dress occasion

Last night was an opportunity to dress to the nines. Well, these days, any night is a reason for that… I found a great pair of Doc Marten saddle oxfords, and focused on them for the entire ensemble. The jacket is a dark grey wool by Jos A Bank; the trousers a black and white […]

tying the knot anew

A friend posted a link to a how-to over on Facebook. I was curious. It is called the Eldredge knot. It has limits as to the pattern that can be used with it; the smaller, the better. Here’s the how-to, over on black lapel.

the week in review

So, I have indeed started documenting again. A good start… And now, a review of last week: Coming up at the end of the week: my annual trip home for the holidays. Conveniently enough, that also means a visit with the Man of Importance. Safe travels as you journey on, my lovelies!

pushing past the mood

It may be easy to notice that dapperkink has been light on content recently. A move last year left me in a space in dire need of attention. So much so, that I don’t even have a decent backdrop for photo-shoots. This has been halting me from documenting anything in terms of my evolving personal […]

the making of a crazy bunny

Last night, I was crazy as a bunny in April. Er, um, I mean, mad as a hare in March. I had an invitation to a tea party, from one hatter of questionable sanity. As soon as I opened the invitation, I got as mad as a March Hare. Or something of the sort… Of […]

glen squared

A glen plaid shirt and a matching glen plaid tie…? Absolutely! The tie has been hanging on my wall for awhile now; the shirt showed up just a bit ago. When I realized the two were such a good match, I tingled. Honestly. Linen for the heat of summer, and silk for it’s surface and […]
