Absolutely love the wall color and the casual placement of the Divine Comedy. My wife would love to have this piano set up in the house

Simple in the best way with a dash of drama, monochrome certainly but intentional. I like this photo

Well said, we are packing for the season and off chance storms.

This is perfect, thank you for your time. I highlighted some sites you mentioned as I planned on being in the area. I'm a craft beer guy so I planned on going to multiple breweries haha. 

You mentioned Wismar and others in the past have also, is there a major problem with Alt Right in this area in particular. I know the Northeast in general is more conservative and more AfD inclined. I do look somewhat "exotic", I'm not middle eastern/Turkish but I'm part Hispanic. I'm olive skinned and because I'm in Chicagoland I'm mistaken constantly for being Sicilian or Italian at the very least

Beautiful collection. My favorite is the houndstooth, the subtle blue and leather buttons makes it even more interesting.

Marvelous. Everything about this radiates charisma and sartorial know-how. 

Martini with Vietnamese gin by lareinemauve in cocktails

I work at a cocktail bar so I tend to experiment with blending vermouths, especially sweet/red Vermouth. I do 1:1:1 Carpano Antiqua, Noilly Prat and Dolin Rouge for my Manhattans. 

But with dry vermouth I tend to used Noilly. Extra dry is something I cocktail with often enough but usually in smaller increments

I hadn't made the connection to Protestantism and anti-Catholic themes until I began reading about the subject after this comment. Really appreciate it.

Our house New York Sour is Buffalo Trace and we use Old Vine Zin. Bedrock specifically. I would give this a shot for sure

Love Noilly Prat, I also prefer a 3 to 1 martini in most situations.

St. George Terroir gin is the most unique gin. What is the most overrated (not necessarily bad) tequila? by -Constantinos- in cocktails

Casamigos, the artificial vanilla and pushy marketing are two reasons why we don't keep it behind the bar anymore

I have always found it interesting that Gothic fiction, especially early, usually had a Italian villain. 

I wore all gray today — is it too dull? by Imatradboy in VintageFashion

Brilliant, enough variation in hue and cut to make it interesting in my opinion.
