boyfriend: the tourist

My love for menswear is no secret. 

In fact, I admire & respect well-dressed guys way more than I do my own gender.

I also love collaborations amongst retailers, especially when that retailer happens to be Urban Outfitters. Earlier this spring UO announced their collaboration with Bethany Cosentino of Best Coast [right this way...] & just this past week they launched a new collection with one of my favorite menswear brands: Burkman Bros.

Burkman Bros. founders & head designers Doug & Ben Burkman designed this collection, called "The Tourist," based off the inspiration they took from a trip to Greece.

The best part: You can get an entire look for under $100.

Go. Now.

When Best Coast's vocalist Bethany Cosentino broke the news through Twitter that she's pairing up with Urban Outfitters to produce her very first clothing line, I was thrilled.

Best Coast is one of my favorite bands & I've always admired Bethany's dainty style with a total edge.

This summer I saw the band perform [in the pouring down rain] at Lollapalooza & wanted to snatch the strappy/lacey little black number right off her.

Which made me start thinking about all of Best Coast's music videos & Bethany's urban-hip meets Jagger leather style. 

So...

In celebration of Bethany x UO, I have pulled my two fave Best Coast vids and scoured urbanoutfitters.com to find looks inspired by her ensembles in each.

The line comes out in [May]
