Paul Smith Amazingness

There's something about Paul Smith ties, especially his floral prints, that just really impress me. I generally dislike floral prints, but Paul Smith walks the fine line between ostentatious and gorgeous, and lands on the gorgeous side more often than not.

The two above are my favorite examples: I like the first one because 1) it looks so much like old-school wall paper and 2) stripes + flowers = wow. I like the second one because of it's color range; although there's a lot of bright colors there, they all work together and seem to be muted by the dark brown background.

Ties: An Introduction

Perhaps because of my prep school background, I have an unnatural fondness for ties. I hope to use this blog to document my search for "the perfect tie." If you are looking for a tie, either for yourself or for someone else, I hope this blog can help you out. If you do purchase a tie that I post on, please let me know, as I can then live vicariously through you (I have semi-expensive taste with no money in the bank)! Happy reading!
