    Love the font that you use on these quotes.

    @Hannah There are a lot of other blogs that focus on preppy women’s fashion, however, they all seem to emphasize the ubiquitous Lilly Pulitzer look , which is really not my preferred style of dress. I appreciate that F.E.C. often posts photos of women clad in something other than pink and green.

    @Hannah—Browse through Dress Code.  I believe there are just as many photographs of girls as there are guys.


    Hannah left a comment on 7/14/2010 at 10:15 AM:

    I love this quote…but do you have any traditionally preppy pictures of girls? There are so many pictures of boys, and while they look absolutely great (and I wish I knew more guys who dressed like them…), there is a lack of “the preppy girl”.

    I completely disagree. Einstein was wrong.

  • Lunch

    Miscellany  

    Photographed in Amagansett, NY

    It’s been here for five decades. Affectionately known as Lunch after the large sign on the roof, Lobster Roll remains the quintessential Hamptons seafood shack. My recent stint in East Hampton warranted a jaunt out to the roadside joint. The eponymous staple is served up in an overstuffed hotdog bun, with creamy mayo and crunchy celery to the delight of locals and celebrities alike. This seasonal spot welcomes families with a kid-friendly menu, a hospitable staff and casual dining area complete with outdoor picnic tables. The sun is dipping below the Amagansett horizon as we unwind to the raising of our beer glasses. I stick with my seafood go-to, fish & chips. Though not out of this world, it’s befitting of a small town dive (malt vinegar covers a multitude of sins). Eating so close to the road, the northeast summer isn’t lost on our dining experience. Maybe next time I’ll try the lobster roll.

    The lobster rolls are great, but the chowder and the Fish and Chips are other worldy

    Reminds me of a Lobster Shack in Kennabunkport my mom and dad used to take us to in the 1980s. Still remember the taste of the lobster rolls 25 years later.

    @ Christian - it is worth the consequences.  Eat lobster rolls.

    Looks really awesome, too bad I’m alergic to lobsters.


    Dan left a comment on 7/8/2010 at 1:59 PM:

    You should.  It’s amazing.

    @F.E. Castleberry I see your point, I wrongly assumed the simplicity of the answering to be rude, I apologize. Maybe it’s a cultural difference that I overlooked.

    I must say that while sometimes I find your writings over pompous and borderline silly, I enjoy the style tips, links and most of the photographs you post. This is one of my favourite blogs.


    F.E. Castleberry left a comment on 7/11/2010 at 6:14 PM:

    @A.D. Castro—Chris asked a simple question which required a simple answer. Any lack of class conveyed through my response is simply born out of your interpretation (tone, more often than not, is lost in text conversations such as this). To assume I lacked courtesy in my tone is more a reflection on you than it is me.  You would be wise to heed your own advice before accusing the author on his own blog of being discourteous.  Again, you read all of this into a two letter word—“No.”  Assume the best of individuals. You will find yourself far more often in their graces.

    There is no need here to divulge motives for keeping said font (though I would be happy to share if asked).  Nothing is done without purpose.

    @F.E. Castleberry A little more courtesy in answering more than a simple “No” would go a long way for someone whose clothes intend to emanate class. You should not only look the part, but play it.

    chris- i feel for you. here is what it says. “style is primarily a matter of instinct - bill blass”


    F.E. Castleberry left a comment on 7/6/2010 at 10:12 AM:

    @Chris—No.


    Chris left a comment on 7/5/2010 at 10:19 PM:

    Could you use a script font that’s more illegible? I can still make out what it says…


    Christian Bourasseau left a comment on 7/5/2010 at 6:20 PM:

    Great thought.

    My mother teaches history of costume and has repeatedly told me that there is almost nothing new in fashion… things simply get recycled over time.  Wide lapel, skinny lapel, wide lapel;  Rinse, wash, repeat.
