If you're anything like me you're still running around, or clicking around, for holiday gifts. So while I'm at it I've thrown together some quick, universally appealing goodies for your father, lover, brother, or just for your fine, fine self. Plus, I can actually vouch for every one of these as I've experienced them all in person, (including the whiskey which is of the warm, caramel-y yet spicy variety if you're curious).  At the publishing of this post, they are all still in stock and available for expedited shipping, so get to it.  Here's to a stiff hot toddy after the shopping is over and the family time begins. Happy Holidays!  - M

IN CONTEXT | LEFT FIELD NYC IVY CREW SWEATER

Mosey over to Left Field NYC's online store for the complete trinity of sweaters, organic chinos, and some impressive Japanese flannel shirts  –all made in in Queens, NYC.

Winter is officially here and with it comes a great conundrum: needing to be as comfortable in front of the fire place as you are trekking cross the urban tundra. Enter the Left Field NYC crew sweaters. In three basic colorways, (Bark is pictured here), they instantly make me think of the tried and true classics my stylish grandfather swore by –right down to the no-frills stitched label. As Left Field deftly puts it, "think old ivy league, but without the big school letter on the chest."

Made from Canadian Merino wool these will layer up sans-bulk, keeping their wearer warm, ventilated and dry. It's likely you'll wear them with everything and anything so, for this first 'In Context' post, I've paired one with this season's other staples, just in time for wish list season... - M

A just-so presentation

I could not have had a better time last weekend at the Pop Up Flea, which inspired a few posts (which are still in the works). In the mean time, here are just a few drive-by shots I snapped while perusing the goods.  They're adjusted using the Instagram app for iPhone. (If you're on it, give me a holler, my user name is marisazupan.) - M
