Mission in Milan

So, I asked the kids what they wanted me to bring them back from Milan and they said a toy airplane and a pink play mobile phone. I mean really, why can't I just get them a tee-shirt and some Italian candies? I can probably find the airplane, if I can get a taxi driver to understand that I need to find a toy store, but a fake pink mobile phone? Come on kids. Give your dad a break!!! 

This is my mission in Milan. Any and all help is appreciated.

Cyrus is just cool. Old-fashioned cool, doesn't have to try cool, laid-back cool. Plain old cool. Like his Papi, he likes hats and wears them well. Here is a sample of cool Cyrus over the years.

It has been really fun having a daughter who likes to dress up and have fun with clothing. Living in NYC, there is so much inspiration and ways to express yourself through dress. 

Here is a sample of Grady's style over the years.

Hipsters

I bought the kids the coolest jeans today in Milano. Didn't find anything for myself, but they sure scored. They're worth it and I already have everything I want in them.

The white-washed, bleached jeans w/holes are for Grady, which were inspired by Balmain's S/S 2009 collection which I thought was excellent and very modern. also, it reminded me of when I was younger and kids would rip their jeans and drive their parents crazy. Needless to say, she won't be wearing these to Grandma's house. 

The green jeans are for Cyrus and his skinny little legs. I saw this really cool-looking teenage boy wearing a pair of brightly, colored skinny jeans in NYC and I thought that would be really nice on Cyrus. Now he has his own pair.
