morning plenitude

Ham croissants, opera and coffee. Three words that define the perfect start of a day in my world. And if you add good reading, fashion reading even, a morning is just superb. Today was such a morning.
I normally do not share many links or videos on soVIPzone but today I cannot help myself. Men.Style.com has great weekly fashion videos but the last two ones have been especially good. In the first one, Josh Peskowitz (fashion editor of the site) and Tyler Thoreson (executive director) discuss their autumn essentials over a glass of bourbon. In the second, they're joined by Tim Blanks to look back at the NY Fashion Week menswear collections.
Secondly and as part of my Tuesday reading ritual, Suzy Menkes column. Let's not kid ourselves, she can do no wrong when it comes to writing and I would gladly cut my ear off if only that guaranteed me being half as good as her. Anyway, today's article about knits made me especially happy not so much because of the content but because she can write something beautiful about knits. It's like an ode to the jumper.

Good day, y'all.
I'm off.
