With all the earthquakes and hurricanes happening in my neck of the woods, it’s time for something fab and fun, so I’m jumping on Linley’s Fab Five Friday bandwagon.
Brooks Brothers non-iron shirt. Button-down shirts are hard to avoid in my world. Good thing I love them! Shopping for them, however, is a royal pain at times, since many shirts either gap in the front or need to be ironed religiously. Brooks Brothers shirts have solved all my problems. They are roomy in the bust but still form-skimming (I go for the tailored or fitted style rather than the classic) and, best of all, they really are non-iron! Plus, you can get some styles on clearance for about $35 dollars, which is considerably better than the $90 sticker price!
While we’re on a preppy note, I can’t help mentioning my beloved Sperrys. I have two pairs, one in the classic tan and one in navy, and the navy are by far my favorite. I’ve gushed about them before, but seriously, the leather is so soft (the tan ones are stiffer)!
And speaking of leather…I’m a Brooks saddle devotee. I have the B17 on my mixte and it feels like I’m sitting on air, since the leather conforms so perfectly to my bum. I am considering getting a Brooks Swallow for my road bike, just to see if their athletic saddles are just as good…
It’s pretty safe to say that I like most kinds of food available to me, and I’m certainly not a stranger to hummus, but spinach and artichoke hummus in particular is a recent obsession, probably because it reminds me of my friend Caitlin’s amazing spinach artichoke dip…
And last, but not least, my guilty pleasure! Glam rock in general, Bon Jovi in particular.

Brooks Brothers still has loads of items on clearance – I may have to hit it myself and soon! Also, love your Sperrys. I have been wanting a pair for a long time and they never seem to go on sale (also, although we live in the rainiest city in Canada, most stores carry the canvas and suede versions).
