Perfect Pairings: Just Campy

Incorporate a fun, camp-inspired shirt into a polished weekend outfit with the help of f. is for frank. Start with J. Crew's Perfect popover in herringbone plaid, which brings to mind thoughts of campfires and canoes. Adorn the top with f. is for frank's polished-yet-natural rose gold hickory cuff with white leather ($92). Then, play with the wilderness theme by adding the sophisticated, nature-inspired gold twig earrings ($95). This great look, through the addition of accessories, is just as well suited to a lunch out as it is the lake.

Perfect Pairings: The Swinging '40s

Add a modern touch to a 1940s-inspired dress with f. is for frank. Start with The Addison Story's Collecting Dots Dress, which looks like the type of dress iconic screen stars such as Rosalind Russell or Judy Garland might have loved. To bring the dress into the 21st century, pair it with f. is for frank's very current gold peacock medallion ($87). For a final touch that modernizes but does not undermine the '40s feel, add our gold peacock tail ring ($82). We think this combination creates a vintage-inspired, yet modern, demure look for day.

Clever Letters

We'd like to bring your attention to an article in FD Luxe, featuring our friend, Rob Wilson. Our booth was right next to Rob's at the Renegade Craft Fair in Austin, and we are so glad it was, as it afforded us an opportunity to acquaint ourselves with Rob and his awesome designs. You can read the article, which points out the extremity of both Rob's height and his level of talent, in the August edition of FD Luxe. Silas Tom, Rob's paper goods company, produces cards and cocktail napkins that are truly witty, innovative, and lovely to look at.

Check out his products so you'll be prepared next time you need to send splendid salutations or produce the perfect hostess gift. For the ideal pet-themed present, match up a Silas Tom card with an f. is for frank dog tag. We love the pairing shown here.

Great Lengths

We're pleased to share with you our latest custom piece--this outsized table, recently created by f. is for frank in collaboration with Jane Waggoner. Constructed from reclaimed wood and steel, this table plays with the juxtaposition of vertical and horizontal lines, as well as, of course, scale. The long, narrow silhouette of this table makes it quite unique, creating a charming, somewhat quirky aesthetic. The table is on wheels, which add both functionality and interest to the piece. We created this table as a custom piece for a client's house, and have grown rather fond of it--we hope our client, and you, feel similarly.
