Summer Time Goodness - Lets Jazz it up a bit
2013 Summer | Bow Ties | Ella Bing
Summer time is upon us, so it’s time to update that wardrobe, for fun, chic summer time goodness.
Shorts –
Here at Ella Bing we aren't fans of cargo shorts. Typically they are worn incorrectly – too long and baggy, reminding us of summer 1999. If you do choose cargos, make sure they fit well.

and a friendly game of giant Jenga. What every preppy guy needs after a long
day of roaming the mean streets of Tampa Bay looking for that perfect shot, of bow ties, sunshine, and cigars.
What is giant Jenga you ask? Do you really need to ask? You
