I met up with my pal Kyle, cofounder of Elykssor Clothing, to catch up since we last talked. A lot has changed since we first met back in May. They’ve since launched two new websites (a new site and shop), they’ve started their own web series (hopefully they cover my biopic) and they’ve started doing limited release runs of hoodies, thermals and knit hats, most of which sell out within the first two weeks. In essence, they’ve become a big deal. Their next limited run will be a Portland music hoodie, which will have the signatures of local musicians, that will be on sale in February. Kyle’s a good ‘ole Maine boy and credits all their success to the people in Maine that have supported the brand since it launched. What’s up next? Their first spring collection. And perhaps a web series starring me…(wink, wink, nudge).

It’s hard to look cool in the cold. A fauxhawk and black Bean Boots are a surefire way to do it though.
When it’s 4 degrees as a high in Maine, expect to see lots of down parkas, mittens, hats, scarves and very little skin.
Have any plans on Monday? I’ll be at One Longfellow Square in support of the Charity Fashion Show. The show is free to attend - just bring a bag of winter clothes to help provide Greater Portland residents with warm clothes for the winter. All proceeds and donations will benefit the Catholic Charities Thrift Store.
I’ve always wanted a 3/4 length winter coat but have always considered them impractical for Maine winters. But since it’s been practically balmy this year, I was very envious of this camel coat. A sweater and wrist warmers are a smart addition, just in case it ever does cool down. Her perfectly worn Bean Boots were a hand-me-down from Mom.
In honor of the snow, the 100th anniversary Bean Boot.

Nonexistant. And yes, it took me a lot of searching to figure that out.
This is the last Thursday Kitsch post of 2011! Tear.
