How did the concept of Stove Monkeys come about and where did the name come from?

Anthony (my business partner and childhood friend) and I came up with the name Stove Monkeys because as chefs we’re always monkeying around in the kitchen. We wanted the name to be playful and to represent the fun we have when cooking food!

I love the quirky nature of the line.  How do you come up with ideas?

The design process is an everyday evolving process. The ideas come to us randomly. Mostly the ideas are whimsical and come about from the love of food. For example The I Love Pork shirt was spin off from the I love NY shirts.

Do you have a favorite piece from the line?

My favorite shirt is the Flatware T. Growing up I always had an obsession with graffiti & this shirt is a food shirt with a graffiti style. A typical style with graffiti is lines of paint dripping at the bottom of the design. I like to think of the dripping as sauce for the flatware T.

What chefs do you draw inspiration from?

I can’t say that there is certain chef we’re inspired from because we are inspired by our customers. The chefs doing the daily grind working in restaurant and the foodies enjoying their hard work creates our inspiration.

What are your favorite dishes to prepare?

I love cooking French/Mediterranean food, Latin, and BBQ. Growing up in TX def created a love for the Latin and BBQ!

Where do you see Stove Monkeys going in the future?

In the near future I see Stove Monkeys being worn from all chefs and foodies across the globe.

J Brand Mid-Rise Skinny in Bright Royal

these have been on my list for a while now and tobi just sent out a 30% off coupon so i’m thinking that i may be crossing them off said list tonight!!

i have no idea why but as a kid i became obsessed with this disney cartoon where skeletons pop up out of their graves and start a very well choreographed dance routine.  on friday nights my mom would let me rent any video i wanted and i always wanted that one.  i found it on youtube a few years back and i still watch it every now and then.  it still holds up.

now, i ask you, how fitting is this shirt?!  i couldn’t resist, i had to buy it.  i’m gonna wear it and reminisce about many an evening spent on the couch watching the skeleton dance.

Another hottie named Emma is Ms. Watson, in a white dress with embellished shoulders and silver stilettos. 

I realize that this look may not be for everyone but I think Louise Roe looks gorgeous in this red and leopard ensemble!

Simple yet super chic, Hailee Steinfeld is a fashion force to be reckoned with!

A huge kudos to Old Navy for being the FIRST major retail chain to openly support gay rights by creating a limited edition collection of pride t-shirts.

The best part is that 10% of the proceeds will go to the “It Gets Better Project” .  An organization that is helping LGBT teens take a stand against bullying, encouraging them to be themselves and know that it does in fact get better.

On Monday, you can (and should) purchase one of these super cute tees, available in four styles, ($7.50 – 14.50) in their men, women’s and children’s lines.

The tees will be available until June 30th at Old Navy stores and online at oldnavy.com.

i tend to find a look i like and fixate on it for a bit.  right now that look happens to be roll tab button down shirts.   with their mix of masculine and feminine influences, they’re effortlessly chic and sexy all at the same time.  also, it’s a great transition piece, as it can go from long to short sleeves in a snap!  (or a button!)

i’m going to live in these this summer!
