Who needs a scarf? HAUTE DADS said it first, Piggy backs are the new scarves! We love this proud Papa, adding a pop of color with his shades to a simple and classic look. However, the best accessory hands down is his cutie pie happy cub sitting casually on top.

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.
Happy Fathers Day !
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.

"For me all black always works. When dressing up I always go with a clean white shirt with a dark tie, simple and classic. The longshirt is my current staple, I have a few in black and one white one, I like wearing them with a suit too. My wife has a background in design, so we go pick out fabric at Mood and she makes them for me. Winston has a nice "little" wardrobe. We really like Nununu baby clothes, they have a great fit. It's not easy to find good "black" baby clothes. We usually have luck at American Apparel Kids, we also like Zara Kids and Baby Gap. I have already started Winston's sneaker collection, ranging from Ralph Lauren Baby to Baby Converse. Winston is about six months old, and I am really enjoying this stage in his life."

Going Nautical
"Living in southern CA I feel pretty lucky to live in such a nice climate and have a life/career (Developer) that allows me to dress the way that I want to dress. I spend quite a bit of my time out on the job site so my day-to-day wardrobe is pretty casual. On a typical day I'd likely be wearing an untucked button-up collared shirt with rolled sleeves, blue jeans, and one of my many pairs of desert boots. If I'm more dressed up than that, you've caught me on the day of an important meeting. Some of my favorite brands include Alexander Wang, JCrew, Theory, and Diesel. As far as Levi's wardrobe is concerned, I need to give the lion's share of the credit to my wife Ali. She's someone who really knows how to put together an outfit and like's to dress Levi in very simplistic, clean cut clothing. At his age, he looks pretty darn cute in whatever you put him in so it allows you to play with some looks that you may not be able to pull off yourself."
