Ben Blair is Looking Hot

Because Ben Blair was out of town last Sunday, we had a belated Fathers' Day Celebration. He's been sporting his Dad Day Gifts all week and I've noticed that I'm especially loving the following items:

Flip Video Camera.
This gift was a huge hit and has been in pretty much constant use since the box was opened. But Ben has hardly touched it. The kids on the other hand, won't put it down. It's so awesome. All three of the older kids are suddenly movie-making moguls. I picked this for Ben, because he has wonderful visions of making fun movies with the kids. And he's determined to open up some time this summer to make it happen. FYI: I chose the black version, knowing my kids would be handling it a lot, and hoping the dark color would hide some of the wear-and-tear.

Carnaby Sneaker.
Ben has been wearing these with pretty much everything in his summer wardrobe. And they always look just right. I have such a thing for white sneaks right now.

Skinny-er Tie.
It was time to update Ben's tie collection. I picked out one by Joseph Abboud, similar to the one shown. It seemed like a good place to start. And Ben looks great in it. He pairs it with his favorite dress shirt, the Windsor slim fit from TM Lewin.
