EASY DRESSING
vintage jacket // J.Crew cashmere sweater // Mango leather pants // Adidas Superstars
Imagine these pants as regular sweatpants. Leather really makes all the difference.

Every so often the internet yields some really great sites. It's amazing what tangent blackholes you can fall into when you are in maniacal hunting mode (those furry CÉLINE sandals for example). Whenever I see stuff like this it bums me out that I didn't think of it. Pure inane brilliance!
Let this be a lesson that Fashion and Photoshop are truly meant for one another. Check out FashGif!

Theory cardigan // Equipment shirt // Mango leather pants // CÉLINE loafers
I've been really into this silhouette lately - loose top, loose pants, flat shoes. I wrote a lengthy explanation but deleted it because nothing really needs to be said other than HOLY SHIT THESE SHOES. I mean really.

A few weeks ago grandma actually went out! I get invited to the occasional press event or party, but I think most people forget that I have an actual real life full-time job and can't go galavanting on any ol' random weeknight. Every so often a rare email catches my eye though - this time with the words smart and Jeremy Scott. I had no idea that a collaboration was even in the works and there wasn't much other information made available so I went in blind, with nothing other than the location (the famous Jim Henson Studios) and to dress inspired by what I envisioned a Jeremy Scott smart car collaboration would be. Interesting enough. RSVP.
As I pulled up it hit me that this was no ordinary event. Super exclusive, super intimate, and I super did not belong there? But I braved my way through the crowd and found a corner where I could quietly blend into the shadows and observe.
And observe I did. Considering it was such an intimate gathering, it was over the top, complete with an LED-lit stage fit for a concert and well, a three song set from MIA for the big reveal. The guests - a mix of Jeremy Scott's friends, the Cobra Snake community, supermodels (hi Anouck Lepere omg Liberty Ross), MIA's entourage, and all the smart car corporate suits - made for good people watching. And the car itself, I don't think anyone would expect any less from Jeremy Scott. Read my thoughts on it here. He explained that the interior was inspired by the feel of a luxury handbag, which it really did look and feel like. Although I couldn't drive it myself, I appreciate that he made it very much his own, and didn't just opt for some custom color and call it a collaboration. And also I heard he's very nice, and I like to like nice people doing nice things. So there's that.
A crazy night to say the least. Crazy, but fun. (but crazy)

SECOND SKIN
BLK DNM has introduced a new limited edition collection of their classic Leather Jacket 8 in different combinations of furs, exotic skins and leathers, all custom made to order and all sell-a-kidney-worthy luxurious. My favorite is Leather Jacket 8-6 below - a combination of washed lambskin with full-grain texture in black, grey and olive body; with a black, curly, shorthair, sheep-shearling collar and left lapel. Sure would not mind discovering one of these come Christmas (ahem Santa).
Available exclusively in New York, Stockholm, and Colette in Paris.
MAGNIFIQUE
Sandro coat
A coat you've been watching for months goes on sale. Your size is sold out online. You grapple with your homebody self to brave the holiday crowds. Pep talk ensues. Hit the road, find the coat. Victory is yours. Cue this face.
ZARA DECEMBER
I know industry people like to hate on fast fashion, but gat damn if Zara doesn't bleed me dry.
All about that jumpsuit.
HOLIDAY GIFT GIVING
I was honored to be asked to contribute a piece for Moda Operandi's holiday gift guide recently. I've gotten a ton of requests for skateboards since the you know what last year, so finally here is one that you can purchase. I collaborated with Peter Pilotto on this limited edition skateboard deck featuring a print from their Resort 2013 collection. It is available here.
CHILL BLUE
Zara coat // Jonathan Simkhai silk track pants // CÉLINE Trio bag // Adidas sneakers // Ray Ban sunglasses
Really into casual wear that is subtly luxurious. Hoodies in cashmere, athletic shorts in leather, track pants in silk. It's the tomboy way of dressing up I guess. Sneakers for day, heels for night. Well, sometimes.
NOW IN LA
And please welcome Brook&Lyn to LA.
TO THE MOON
Nasty Gal holiday collection
Just ordered this tyvek shirt and I cannot wait to look like a shiny spaceman.
SWEATER SEASON
In (premature) preparation of the (hopefully) imminent cold (fine, chilly) weather, I'm stocking up on sweaters. Angora sweaters to be precise. Nothing like some real life Gaussian blur fuzziness. I hit the jackpot at H&M with these. I went in hoping to find a white one (check) and found this heathered one as well. My itch has been scratched. Whew.
REDFORD
available at Dear Fieldbinder
My fall wardrobe is quickly coming together with some new additions - starting with these Rodebjer Redford Glitter flats. I was worried about the glitter at first cause, as you may know, I'm not much of a frou frou glitzy girl. But the "glitter" here is less crafty and more a stingray-esque texture. With the perfect shape and ultra comfort, these are sure to become a closet staple.
