7 in 7 | Mark

April 14, 2012

Photographed in Canton, GA

Raised in:
Tomball, Texas

Lives in:
Jasper, Georgia

Favorite Spring sporting event:
Opening Day in Major League Baseball. On this day, every fan legitimately believes that their team has a chance to win the World Series. As an Astros fan, I’m usually brought back to reality after the first week, but I’ll follow them regardless of how bad they are.

Now would ya look at that:
Never underestimate eBay – Mark snatched these “gently worn” Cole Haan white bucks for around fifty bucks.

  • Ray Ban Wayferer for Brooks Brothers (repp stripe).
  • J.Crew Ludlow suit jacket (worn on his wedding day).
  • Onassis jeans.
  • No socks.

7 in 7 | Kirk

April 13, 2012

Photographed in Atlanta, GA

Raised in:
Habersham County, GA

Lives in:
Atlanta, Georgia

Favorite southern sports team:
The Texas A&M “Fightin’ Texas Aggies.” I have a long line of A&M grads in the family, and although the Aggies don’t hail from the DEEP south, they’re now members of the SEC. I just hope the folks down here are ready for a lot of weird traditions and most importantly, more “flat-tops” than should ever be allowed in one stadium, at one time. Gig ’em!

Now would ya look at that:
Kirk is the man behind Mast-McBride, a tie company based in Atlanta with a workshop in New York City.

  • Levi’s 501 white denim.
  • J.Crew cardigan, shirt, and belt.
  • Tie, his own design.
  • Rolex GMT Master  II watch.
  • Cole Haan penny loafers.

Raised in:
Kennesaw, Georgia

Lives in:
Dallas, Georgia

Favorite memory in Atlanta:
All my memories from Atlanta. I love downtown. Whether it be for dinner with friends, a romantic rooftop date with my husband, or seeing shows or concerts…I always have a good time when Atlanta is involved.

Now would ya look at that:
White lace dress, Steve Madden turquoise pumps, J.Crew bubble bib necklace (which seems to be quite the popular piece this Spring). It was also worn by Emily and hangs on my jewelry rack as well.

April 11, 2012

Photographed in Chattanooga, TN

Raised in:
Nashville, Tennessee

Lives in:
Chattanooga, Tennessee

Favorite thing about Chattanooga:
It’s basically the Portland of the south. It’s got mountains, rivers, and a city with a small town feel.

Now would ya look at that:
White shorts from Chubbies (The Vice, c/o) and a beat to hell Baylor High School golf hat, found on campus where he is a Young Life leader. “Baylor is the epitome of a southern prep school.”

Favorite Spring cocktail:
I recently discovered and instantly replicated The Existentialist: Corsair Gin, St. Germain, muddled cucumber, lemon and sparkling soda.

Now would ya look at that:
In Christina’s words, “this outfit is a great example of how I build my wardrobe…a lot of steals and a few splurges.”

Steals:
  • White Satchel from T.J. Maxx.
  • Gold & Cork Wedges from Target.
  • Gold belt (complete with interchangeable buckles) handed down from grandmother.

Splurge: Hot pink Paige pants from Nordstrom – “my must-have purchase this Spring.”

Favorite memory while wearing jorts:
The Florida/Georgia game three years ago in Jacksonville and seeing so many other people helping to keep the sterotype alive. It was a really hot Halloween so the jorts kept me pretty cool.

Third generation jorts, tank top is a new addition to his collection – found in Asheville, North Carolina, and Tony Lama boots.

Edit: for anyone flipping through the archives, this was posted on April Fool’s Day…

Atlantic Drift

March 23, 2012

Atlantic Drift Yellowfin Blue Water Polo (c/o)
Photographed in Jasper, Georgia 

The Propst brothers, founders of Atlantic Drift, don’t want to be “just a polo brand.” Nathan and Thomas, based outside of Charlotte, are going after the outdoors/sportsman like themselves. “We grew up on the water fishing, in the woods hunting, or just spending our summers relaxing on the beaches of North & South Carolina. That is the lifestyle we know and love, which we want to develop into this brand.” In doing so, their main goal is to be an all-in-one brand that produces the high end casual clothing you can wear to the office, but also offer the same quality products built to perform on the water or in the woods.

Despite them not being just a polo brand, they do offer a heck of a polo, and you’ve got a chance to win one!
The winner will be picked via random.org on Friday, March 30th.

To enter, leave a comment with your name, email, and what color polo you’d like to win (pick here).
