Stuff for summer I can’t get over.
Yes, I’m still mooning over the perfect combination of neutrals and texture for the upcoming summer. The Opening Ceremony sweater (not really a sweater, more like a hole-y top-ha) about knocked me over when it was added to Anica‘s new arrivals this week. And I love the felt necklace from Pour Porter shop over top-they’re a weirdly perfect combo. Sigh, can I just wear a multitude of variations on white this summer? Anyways, I’m feeling re-energized by the changing season and actually felt inspired to do another cut-and-paste wardrobe again-hope you enjoy!
The birthday is just around the corner and being a practical person I made a little wishlist of practical items. I need a new pair of glasses since my current pair I got in 1997 (not kidding!), I apparently drove off with my make-up bag on my car (don’t ask me how I managed that), and I don’t own a simple black belt that goes with everything (criminal). All of the above from jcrew, who seriously have the best glasses right now

I almost forgot to post this today! Anyways, here are some current favourites from Azita in the colours I’ve been obsessing over. The sweatshirt is just too marvelously hilarious. (And I wish I could slap the trousers and sweatshirt on right now) They ship overseas and prices are listed in euros, great britian pounds, and us dollars

Ok, back to Fashion Week for a minute. I love the latest from A.F. Vandevorst with the monochromatic looks in tan and red. I’m slightly embarrassed to admit that I’ve always loved the colour red even with its somewhat garish associations and incarnations. The tomato red tone in this collection is perfection, and I’ve really been liking the head-to-toe monochromatic looks that have been appearing all over (particularly white looks with white tights) lately. So anyways, you all surely remember their F/W 09 collection with the horse hoof boots? Well, where that collection was the horse, this collection is the rider what with jodhpur pants, breeches, tall, over-the-knee articulated boots, and a dramatic riding cape. Really an ace collection!
