Monthly Archives: March 2012 Every household needs a good bottle opener. Why not get something with a bit of style? Based out of Richmond, VA, Machine Era Co. produces this heavy duty bottle openers from cold formed steel with a gun barrel black patina. Add whale artwork (by William Godwin), and you’ve really got something. Think of this next...  The Smathers & Branson Facebook followers saw their new needlepoint hats yesterday. All of the designs look great – especially the Jolly Roger and the American Flag.

[...] As I mentioned a while back, our friends over at Smathers & Branson have come up with some good looking lids. Needlepoint lids, at that – would you expect anything less from S&B? Well, they want to make one Red Clay Soul reader one needlepoint hat richer, so here we go: [...]  Folks – we talk about khakis all the time. You’ve heard me sing the praises of Jack Donnelly khakis, but let’s talk about their shorts.

Good khaki shorts, like a trusty pair of Top-Siders, last years. They evolve, going from tucked and tied to tattered and tired. Eventually, both need replacing and the cycle repeats, but I’m never excited to buy a new pair. March 28, 2012 - 10:02 AM

My boyfriend, Lincoln, desperately needs a new pair of these khakis. I’m sick of seeing him wear his favorite pairs that all reflect his love for fishing, boating and… well, drinking.

Of course this would get posted the day after I return from Nola. Not helping with my case of the Mondays. But I agree, the food of New Orleans is second to none March 26, 2012 - 11:56 AM
As a born & raised New Orleanian, trips to Cafe du Monde never get old. And next time you’re in town, make sure to check out what Uptown has to offer. The French Quarter is great, but cross Canal Street and the dining options expand twofold. March 26, 2012 - 4:47 PM
I’ve eaten a ton of seafood throughout my life, but to this day, the charbroiled oysters at Drago’s is the single best seafood dish I have ever eaten March 28, 2012 - 10:17 PM
