Martha Kay is one of my instagram friends out of Vancouver, Canada. She blogs and posts instagram photos under the name North Left Coast.  Her fasion style is usually somewhere between Preppy and Hipster, but she's not limited to either of the two. She executes a lot of classic looks and her photos are bright with interesting focal points. I'm a big fan of hers, so it made sense to have her on the show. Martha starts by giving a vivid description of beautiful British Columbia. Then we go on to discuss fashion, thrifting, and what she has planned for her blog. Martha shares how the late princess Diana inspired her to keep it classy, and talks about a touching nursing assignment she worked in Haiti. If you aren't following Martha Kay, you should be. Her contribution to the world of preppy style is valuable.  Follow her on instagram at @northleftcoast and read the blog at northleftcoastblog.com.

Of all the Double RL collectors I've come across, I have to say Mark Large is one of the most impressive.  He is known for his unusual pairings and mix matched style. Somehow Mark makes it all work. In this interview we talk about his preppy inspiration and love for the Ralph Lauren brand. Mark is from a town north of London, where he was first influenced by the modernist movement. We also talk about his trips to different parts of the world and his special love for Americana. Mark says, he hasn't visited a state he didn't like. Listen to this episode to hear all about Marks growing Double RL collection, life with his lovely wife who also has an eye for fashion. Mark and Helen enjoy going to Burlesque events, museums, and competing to see who can exhaust the most storage space with new clothing purchases.  follow both Mark Large and Helen Large at @1lrg and @helenvonfrocklarge .

When we think of collecting we immediately think of Ralph Lauren, but we can't forget about Hilfiger. Laurence aka @rich_future and I talk about collecting Hilfiger and the influence the brand had on urban and hip hop culture. We talk about the 90's trinity that was Hilfiger, Polo, and Nautica.  we talk about standards and various ways of acquiring sought after pieces. Laurence isn't only a Hilfiger guy, he's also heavy into Brooks Brothers. This guest represents a really smart blend of preppy and urban fashion sense.
