MILES AWAY

11.02.2011


As in, that’s how far away you can see me in these pants (even without Photoshop!) I know the trend right now is to colorblock in neon, but I just don’t have the wardrobe for it. I’m lucky to even have these red jeans, otherwise I’d be total fashion roadkill and have to take the Gaultier veil and live in a shunnery. Today's look mixes the red jeans with the navy coat with the teal in the socks – that’s important, wearing loafers instead of oxfords so you get that extra little unexpected pop of color at your ankles – and the checks of the shirt picked up in the checks in the sunglasses contrasting with the monogrammed scarf…it’s not too much, no? I tried to accessorize “delicately” with my new Malababa ring and, well, a giant lion head pendant, but I didn’t get a great picture of them. You’ll have to take my word for it!


Isn’t the coat so classic? I got it back from the tailor just days ago and this is it’s first season out – oh my gosh, my coat’s a debutante! You may now request it at society functions and call on it, if so inclined.

Coat – Banana Republic
Shirt – American Apparel
Jeans – H&M
Socks – Happy Socks
Loafers – Low Vintage
Muffler – Vintage Fendi

STYLE SNAPSHOTS

10.19.2011


from left to right, top to bottom…
1) I finally succumbed to the temptation of the “arm party.” I rooted through my jewelry box and found an assortment of bracelets that I think work well together, including my jangly pirate coin bracelet of which a friend once said, “that’ll be nice for your girlfriend.”
2) I went to Richmond for the first time this past weekend – apparently it’s more than just where the big mall is! We went out for brunch on Sunday morning to Kuba Kuba where I enjoyed café con leche and eggs and toast and avocado. C’est bon.
3) This…is a flower. Maybe there being only one is a metaphor for winter coming on? Or...pretty!
4) A most wonderful bike in a most wonderful color.
5) Busted out my Hermès pocket square the other day…but then it turned out to be too hot for a jacket. What is this weather, October?
6) My new ring! Malababa from Need Supply Co. I am completely obsessed with it and was getting a bit out of control on their jewelry display. I might have been straddling it at one point, but it’s ok! Because this baby has reignited my passion for jewelry, which had been lying dormant seeing as piling it on isn’t practical for work. Well, slap my ass and shower me with diamonds, because I fU*KiNg LoVe JeWelRY – practicality be damned!
