Empress Dior

i've mentioned before that i'm not huge on jewelry and accessories but lately i've been in an inexplicable frenzy acquiring new pieces. see i don't like to have to change out and coordinate accessories everyday. my fashion formula revolves around laziness and comfort and the least amount of thought required to put an outfit together. i like to have a set that i wear every single day and become my constant staples.

spotted this crazy ring at Dior and i must admit, it was not love at first sight. it was peaked curiosity at first sight, but love...not just yet. it took some trying on and walking around (comical i know, for a ring) and just plain marveling at its size. there are times when you see something and you're certain you're drawn to it, but then there's a fine line it teeters on between being monstrous or genius. i inevitably was convinced of the latter.



it kept reminding me of these ancient Chinese hats that emperors and court people wore.
every time i look down at my hand i think of that and it makes me smile. isn't that what fashion is supposed to be afterall? finding pleasure in these treasures we find?

SHEARLING

my brain can't wrap itself around fashion and/or all the fall 10 shows at the moment, but what does stand out for me are the shearling jackets. i love shearling lined anything - leather jackets, aviator jackets, denim jackets - even Snuggle, because he looks like shearling.
the left two are from the much talked about Burberry Prorsum show and the right is Helmut Lang, which looks the most wearable to me. I have an aversion towards really heavy jackets and things that come up on my neck. Part claustrophobia and part it-just-makes-me-tired-carrying-something-heavy-on-my-shoulders-all-damn-day.
The most ideal, perfect-in-every-way, wouldn't-change-a-thing, jacket. Balenciaga Fall 2004 RTW show.

this Balenciaga jacket recently caught my eye on Ebay...
