men : in the store

PM-J1186A_968_Virgin_FIGURE_01During the Christmas break, I was able to add almost a dozen new items to the store that were just for men. I was hoping to show you all these wonderful items sooner, but since then, nearly half of them have sold! I therefore chose to wait just a little longer to ensure that what I presented to you would still be available. Here they are :

IMG_00272. Adidas L.A. Galaxy Beckham Jersey.

IMG_00483. Paper Denim & Cloth Jeans.

IMG_00024. Le Château Retro Sweater.

5. Le Château Crewneck Sweater.

IMG_00046. American Eagle Collared Tee.

7. Jarman Benchmark Vintage Oxfords.

Don’t forget to visit the store website for more men’s clothing options, or eBay to purchase them directly. We combine shipping. Oh, and did I mention that they’re currently 50% off? Because they are!

make this : beard oil

Beard Oil DIYThe rise of the bearded male has certainly grown exponentially in the last few years. Never have they been so trendy since the famous hippie era. I personally love the look of them, whether it is simply a bit of scruff or a full on beard. I think that it adds character, much like one’s own hairstyle. 

Beard Oil DIY - 9My husband has had some sort of a beard in the five years that we have been married. However, he really began growing it out over the last two years. This has resulted in more upkeep and experimentation with different grooming products, namely beard oil.

While the effects of beard oil are apparently tremendously beneficial, the cost for one little bottle can be outrageously high. After googling simple recipes for the oil, I decided to make a batch for Geoffrey. It was incredibly easy to do so, and something that I suggest for all beard enthusiasts. Additionally, they would also make a great present year round!

father’s day ideas

144_tech_gadgets-928983-TwoByOne

On Sunday, June 21, 2015, it will be Father’s Day. I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready for it this year. I’ve only just begun to look for gifts for the father figures in my life. While I was doing so, I came across this website. An outfit packed in a trunk? A waterproof notebook? Copper mugs? Hammock? These all look like some amazing ideas!

33019266_001_bIn the meantime, did you know that your father was a hipster? Or so says this article from the UK version of Urban Outfitters. It’s hilarious. Please, give it a read.

What are your plans for this upcoming holiday?

in may

Petit Punch VieuxMay was a month that was filled with beauty, at least in regards to my blog posts.

Floral Wedding Make-up 5I shared a make-up and wedding hair tutorial for our upcoming anniversary photo shoot, and because it’s wedding season.

il_fullxfull.597864654_fcynThere were five fashion posts last month. I think that is the most that I have ever published! I showed you what was in the store, in addition to an OOTD specifically for men. This Etsy post had a lot of lovely comments from you, readers.

Terrarium Kit DIY 1I also experimented with wood and succulents. I had a Cellphone Holder DIY, Reclaimed Barn Wood Shelving, and a Terrarium Kit DIY.

Bedroom QuoteLast, but not least, this trend of grace also extended into my personal life when I made the beautifully terrifying decision to let go of a job that I have had for the last four years. Beauty is only skin deep.

men : listen up

IMG_1425Two weeks ago, and for the entire week, I dedicated every post on Potomac’s Instagram account to promote men’s wears in the store. I’ve recently increased this type of stock, and wanted to see how well they would sell before I went ahead and began incorporating more of men’s items. After only a few days, I nearly sold every shirt that I had.

PTP - Men's ItemsWhile it will take me a little while to start building my repertoire of men’s items back up in Potomac Trading Post, Ltd., there are a few shirts remaining. You can either go directly to the store website to view them, or to eBay to purchase them.

IMG_1419I am incredibly excited about this new change, and cannot wait to start reaching out to some male customers on a wider scale. My favourite part is that I now get to have Geoffrey model the store clothes alongside moi. :-)))

Have a great week!
