[caption id="attachment_7892" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Swimmingly beautiful lagoon-blue shoes[/caption] Dan's Paper is the local Hamptons weekly that sits in tall stacks in front of every restaurant, grocery store and coffee shop from Southampton to Montauk during the summer season. (You won't miss a single speck of intel on who was spotted where or who dined with whom at Nick & Toni's in Easthampton if you grab it! Naughty pleasure.)…

[caption id="attachment_7888" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Nap time in Sag Harbor after battling the traffic for lobsters and wine.[/caption] Many of you have heard of the Hamptons, that putative playground of the rich and famous, and think that summer must be glamorous buckets of fun in a place like this. Beach blanket bingo on a luxe scale. Ha! The inside scoop is that…

Our cobalt Weekender loafers look perfectly at home in this field of freshly washed blueberries. Every shade of rich, electric, sumptuous blue is captured here - exactly what I had in mind when I designed these shoes. So irresistible, you want to EAT them! (Put them on instead.) Heads are going to turn.

Despite the mud, I made it to the Fais Do Do stage at Jazz Fest last week for a little bluegrass foot-thumping. Thank you Bela Fleck and your lovely wife, Abigail Washburn! The experience spawned another haiku. I think this is my new thing.

I captured this image on my recent trip to Mexico. It intrigued me deeply, as if it had been staged by an artist. This still life in blue occasioned a little haiku. [caption id="attachment_7832" align="aligncenter" width="700"] Mexico tableau. Staged or not I ask myself? Dabs of red intrigue.[/caption]

More meditations on splendid red. I caught this image in The Gap dressing room today. There was an intriguing 'Out Of Order' sign on the fitting room door and I'd agree that something was out of order, although just what, was a matter for considered speculation. Couldn't resist the suggestive tumble of mannequin legs, and turning the whole thing red. Conjures all kinds of possible captions, no? …

The classic combination of black & white has influenced my work for decades. I designed these dishes and textiles more than twelve years ago for Bed Bath & Beyond and Crate & Barrel. Apart from the graphic impact of these black & white patterns, the timeless quality they impart make them as relevant today as they were a decade ago. I still use them at home and trip down…

The combination of black & white is a near obsession with me. You see lots of it pop up in my work, in our packaging and logo, basically everywhere I feel the urge for articulation. Design-wise. Heaven help me, it doesn't stop with work, though. Before Daffodil was born, the breeder asked me what color puppy would be my first preference. I, with utterly earnest…

Women are from Venus and men are from Mars. We get it. In another post, awhile back, I touched on the disconnect between what women really want (when it comes to their golf gear) and it got me thinking about food and shopping (sex even). A friend and I were talking the other day about this Mars-Venus thing and how it's…

It's crazy that I make golf shoes for women, but hardly have time to play golf myself these days. No excuses here, but it probably explains the appalling condition of my game. Riding to the rescue was my good friend Toby Tucker Peters, who landed up in the Hamptons last week for a little R&R (read: time out from her four adorable-but-very-young…
