My Vince

Here are two items, I have acquired from work,

that I am absolutely madly deeply in love with.

Vince is one of my favorite designers in store.

Super modern but classic pieces. Details are always

well thought out, while colors remain fun and distinct.

I was able to rid many filler items in my closet just from

these coming into my life.

Vince

Pique Strapless Dress

$225

I have to get this altered a bit,

but the color is so goooooodd on.

I love pieces you can wear casually

or dress up. It all depends on how

you decide to accessorize. Have fun

with your clothes plz.

Vince

Oversized Button Up
$178

Your go to lazy-day shirt.

This boyfriend cut shirt looks

nice tucked in or worn out with

denim leggings and an awesome

boot or heel. I like to wear mine

with my brown leather mary janes.

Still looking for the perfect denim 

short or skirt to rock it with. 

Loveeee the sleeve details and

pleated closure. Great with a vest

or v neck sweater.

Check out more Vince pieces on 

their official site or Barneys.com

The mens stuff is pretty delicious too.

Ring My Bell

Naturally, the thought of a bell bottom jean might cause one to cringe or bring to mind John Travolta in all of his Saturday Night Fever glory. Although, you must admit, he looks pretty bad ass in this picture.

Though, I have a confession, I just ordered a pair of reissued Levi's from 1974. And yes, they are bell shaped which means I will be ringing (pun intended) in the new year looking real fly.

How will I be wearing them? I plan on using silks, lace, and more modern cuts/fabrics. They will be less Jackson 5 and more Burberry Prorsum Fall 2008. Next level.

$29.98

Trend Alert: SLASHINGS

Slashes are the sophisticated way to have holes
in your clothes. No more tore up jeans and fringed
hems. They are key for having the perfect color
peek. It is modesty at it's best and with the right
placement can reveal just enough skin. Definitely
a nice update for, otherwise, classic pieces.

When I saw the new Dior Homme
collection I immediately thought of these
boots.

Pierre Hardy Fall 2008

It's become obvious that Pierre Hardy is
by far one of my favorite shoe designers.
He is innovative in all he does and every
time I see a new collection my whole
perspective on life changes! Serious stuff, yo!


Dior Homme Spring 2009



I dream of owning these pants.

A Lesson in Old School

I grew up with three older brothers, all of which unknowingly
influenced me at the time. It's hard to wear dresses when you
are too busy wanting to do everything the boys are doing. My
brother Chris started b-boying when I was in middle school. I didn't
necessarily have any style then but there is only so much you can do
with a school uniform. I've always really loved the old school hip hop style.
No, I never wore shell toes nor did I trot around in track suits and beanies.
But since then and over the years, I have incorporated certain elements into
my style.








Dsquared's Spring 2009 collection caught me by surprise. The
brothers took inspiration from Jamel Shabazz's book Back In The Days.
Shabazz began documenting urban street stlye over thirty years ago.
I have always dreamed of a collection like this. Some of it was hit or
miss but over all the awesome pieces help me ignore the wack ones.
They might have used way too many gold chains too... But hey, it's
the thought thats counts.


Street Safari




I love the mix of texture and pattern.


I will have to make myself a gingham blazer ASAP
