Having founded a clothing and lifestyle brand that he named after himself in 2008 and getting married at a Christmas tree farm, these advocates for New England have morphed into bloggers who partner with companies such as Brooks Brothers and Pottery Barn and realtors Lila Delman. With some 500,000 followers between them on Instagram, of their stylish existence Patrick comments: “I don’t really put us in the same group as those Rich Kids of Instagram type of accounts. For us, there’s a little bit of heart behind every picture and I think people can see that”.

Kiel James Patrick is ‘married’, well someone is ‘barking up the wrong tree’ [EDITED FOR LEGAL REASONS]
Their photo montages are lovely and add a little bit of joy to the world. Delightful to see young people enjoying themselves and making progress at the same time also. Keep it up!
I’m off to spend some $$$ on this website right now. What cool stuff they sell.
Only Americans can possibly believe these two have ‘style’.
They look most affected. They have read too much Scott Fitzgerald
Nice dogs.
The opening lines of the Great Gatsby are worth remembering in this context………..
My father told me: ‘ If ever you feel like criticizing anyone, just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had your advantages ‘
And Ralph Lauren went from a high end New York shirt supplier to the epitome of his trade through augmenting the beautiful dressing room shirt scene in the Robert Redford version of Gatsby
No one would have bought Ralph’s rubbish if he had kept his birth name of Lifshitz
