Your brand new leopard-skin pill-box hat...

I've always wanted a leopard cocktail 

hat and here it is. I would spice it up 

with the addition of feathers and/or

brooches. Get on that fab level by pairing 

this with anything casual to glam haute.

It's enough to make Bob Dylan swoon.

Go Away Gustav

I am really over all this hurricane
business... Instead, I have been
craving cold weather and winter
clothes. These boots make me want
to go camping or hiking. I would will pair
these with plaids and winter florals.

This outfit is the equivalent to this song:

You make a pretty fine memory...

Confessions Of A Shoe Addict

An obvious weakness of mine is shoes. I like to buy them,
stare at them, sleep on them (Williamsburg) or just kill my
feet in them. I am the type of person who will buy a shoe whether
it fits or not. I will go through all sorts of pleasurable pain to wear
a pair of beautiful shoes.

Here are my current favorite summer sandals.

ANKLE CUFF SANDALS:

Maison Martin Margiela
Sandal Ankle Bootie
$595.00 eluxury.com
These are the sickest! Especially the knee-high
version (not pictured). I would probably
wear these all summer if I could call them mine.

But since I can't, the cuffed element lives
on for a whole lot cheaper...


HALSTON Cuff Boot Sandal
£25.00 Top Shop


C2 Canvas Wrap Sandal
$59.99 Urban Outfitters
So good. Love the leather detail!


ZIPPER ACCENTS:
Exposed zippers have been an obsession I've
had for the longest. In school, I did exposed zippers
on my whole collection. My teachers hated me for it.
Of course, most of the design teachers are stuck in 1983
and haven't seen a runway since.


Christian Louboutin Rodita Zipper Sandal
My heart beats twice as fast
when I look at this beauty. This
is the kind of love that last a lifetime.

Matt Bernson Swain Sandal
$198.00 Urban Outfitters
I am a sucker for a chunky gold zipper.






Marc by Marc Jacobs
Zipper rosette flats
$207 & Sold Out at Net-A-Porter.com
I bought a bunch of cheap zippers from
my teacher in April and I now know exactly
how I am going to use them.


STILL FRINGING AROUND:



HACKLE-H.Leg Fringe
£25.00 Top Shop
And finally a complete rip off of
those Etro Gladiator Sandals!


FLAVIO Fringe Sandal

And here is the best way to do
the fringe thing this summer.

The Two Tone Rule

Cheap Monday 2 Color Denim Jean
Urban Outfitters $65.00

These are crazy good. I love the contrast and abstract randomness
going on. I would have so much fun dressing these up. There is a fine
line between tacky and... not tacky. Therefore, keep your pieces modern
and elegant to avoid looking a hot mess.

Menswear: Current Heavy Hitters

Here are a few things I liked from Forever 21 Men's and Urban Outfitters.
You can sort of play with the idea of these things and reinterpret it to fit your personal style.

Denim Vest $18.00




Armory Tee $14.00


Tie tee $13.00

I like the abstract tie idea. I'd wear it with this...

Short Sleeve Cardigan $14.00


Flannel Shirt $21.00


Slim Chino Pant $29.99


D Collection Prep School Blazer $128.00



There are different things you can do with these pieces. Think layers, texture and color play. These are all great individual pieces and I really think that denim vest is killer especially when paired with the blazer and those chinos.
