PAUL OLLIVER JCrew scarf, Vintage Sweater, Puma shoes // JENSON OLLIVER Bear snuggie, blue crocs
HAUTE DADS now believe when in doubt... bear snuggie! This is a super cute look for kids in the winter time. This duo's style pairs well with their animal nature theme: fish wool sweater and bear onesie. Different take on the winter blues- You can't go wrong with a wash of blues and indigo.

Campion Platt and his wife, Tatiana Platt both "believe boys should be boys and girls should be girls. Meaning girls should get to wear cream puff tutu skirts and big bows (which their girls love to do), and boys should be relaxed and active, white and turquoise polo shirts on Fox bring out his amazing blue eyes."

Campion is an amazing dad, way more hands on than most. He is patient, doting and caring (he is also a Buddhist). From the time the kids were born, they have all swam in the ocean - they literally started swimming at 1 month old and Campion taught them all. They are now all amazing swimmers, even their camp counselors are blown away.
Campion's current focus is on healthy living. He is gluten free and even built his family a scrumptious organic vegetable garden this summer! Campion is a great cook and throws together amazing healthy meals from their family's garden. Campion can be recently seen in the current July issue of Beach magazine.
Like father, Like son.

HAPPY FATHERS DAY! Special Guest Contributor, Michael Rabatin, producer of ADHome Design Show
"The most rewarding part of working in Men's Design at Ralph Lauren was a lasting appreciation for dressing and how to do so. One evening my son, Hudson, watched me transform from my work clothes--often a suit or blazer or a motorcycle jacket--into my Tux--for a formal party. To him it was like watching superman put on his cape. It opened a whole new world and we launched into a three month sojourn into the basics of wardobing. He needed to know everything and could soon recognize a shawl or club collar, he appreciated working button holes, and knew why the pleats of a cummerbund are worn facing up. He started to amass a smart collection of pocket squares, suits and blazers....and insisted on real ties since after 3 tries he mastered the technique. His new wardrobe was worn to school and out for dinner whatever the restaurant is. Harper, my oldest son, has always picked up on my weekend look and gravitates to great pants, t-shirts and fine motorcycle jackets. He has my hair and was born with a sense of ease carrying himself and now he is very comfortable wearing embroidered jeans and a soccer jersey topped off with a hoodie or one of his many motorcycle jackets. "Just like you--and Superman"--they say! Thankfully, we have dressing down and all feel good having a sense of style.

"Im inspired by old men who take pride in what they're wearing but at the same time they really don't care much about their outfit. Their style is effortless. I also could live like a mountain man and wear boots, a flannel with a long tee or tank layered under and raw jeans for weeks and not think twice about my look."
