A shoe and a print
I came across this print the other day (sadly, the artist was not attributed) and think it’s a perfect match for the new Volunteer Plimsoll from SeaVees. Aside from the matching colors, both the shoe and the print have the same beachy, sunny, SoCal vibe, and it’s no coincidence that SeaVees are a California based brand. Plus, every single one of their designs is inspired by a landmark in history- how rad is that?
These shoes are inspired by the 50th anniversary of the signing of the historical Peace Corps Act, and for every pair sold, SeaVees donates a portion of the profits to the Peace Corps. As SeaVees puts it, they are ”proud to support the Peace Corps - truly one of the best and bravest ideas of the past half century in terms of bringing us closer to understanding and tolerance - preconditions for peace.”
Love the idea, love the shoe, love the PEACEful print, too!

WWPNW?
Way, way back in the day, when Mani was being born, I wrote this post about how, if Mani were a man, he just might be Paul Newman himself: sophisticated yet manly, but never macho. It’s no wonder, then, that as I perused this amazing photo blog I became inspired. As Mani has grown, he really has become even more like Mr. Newman. Mani has settled confidently into “his” personal style. He has grown up!
Just take a look at these photos of Paul I found:
Casual, appropriate, endlessly cool, and the man knew how to rock a few carefully selected, timeless accessories. Plus, ya know… he was easy on the eyes.
Here are a few modern pieces, available at Manifesto, that recall what what Newman was all about; put together, yet carefree:
Top row, L-R: watch, Dean Accessories; newsboy cap, Goorin Bros.; wallet, Property Of; bow tie, Sovereign Beck.
Bottom row, L-R: Bayside Moccasin, SeaVees; Marlin, Born; Raider, J. Shoes; Iron Ranger, RedWing.
Who is your style icon?
