This is vest season.

Summer is coming so incredibly soon.  It's time to take off those jackets and put on those vests.  I bought this Rick Owens vest for that reason.  I was so excited that I had to take some pics right after taking it out of the box, still with tags and everything HAHAH!

I love this vest.  It has this great diagonal button closure that wraps around me like a snake.  So I can wear it like a cloak or wear it like a boa constrictor.  I can put it over any regular t shirt or dress that I have, and it all looks fantastique!

Vest: Rick Owens

Tshirt: Alexander Wang

Jeans: Helmut Lang

Boots: Finsk

This is wedged.

I'm in want of a pair of Rick Owens wedges.  I thought I was over wedges, since I really rode that trend hard when those Steve Madden wedges were so huge in the early 2000's.  But lately, i've been feeling wedge crazy.  I especially love the Rick Owens' wedge's sleek silhouette.  But alas, it's out of my budget for right now....I keep refreshing webpages until I find some sales.  To those who have them, I envy you all.  I really want to wear these wedges with a long black skirt.   Summer is coming, and I'm very bad at wearing flats.

Since I can't buy the Rick Owens wedge just yet, I started looking at Ann Demeulemeester's wedges., and I think I might take them.  That divide between soft suede and slippery leather.  I think I could use that while I'm stomping around the streets.

What are you guys into?  Wedges or heels?  Any of you have experience with some Ann Demeulemeester footwear.  Tell me, comfortable????

This is complex.

Hullo!  I've been loving complex geometries so much lately.  It's kinda fun when you get a new piece of their clothes, and you kinda look at it for a few minutes, trying to figure out how to put it on.  It's often a tangle, but all ways are correct when you wear complex geometries.  Even so, I like how drapey and baggy all their pieces are.  It feels like you're wearing a thin blanket, even though it doesn't look like that (Thank God).

Loving this CG hoodie with crossover draping attached to the front.

You can find this at doshiburi.  A new website that I recently have been visiting over and over.    Photo from Doshiburi too!

This is angled.

Hey guys!  I'm so sorry for my lack of posts.  I've been in a rut fashion-wise (meaning, I don't have any huge current fashion wants of the moment).  But I wanted to say hello to everyone peeking in!  

I've been recently wanting to buy a duplicate pair of booties.  I have these Cheap Monday boots in black suede, and I love them.  They're so sleek and slim and go well with skinny jeans.  I wanted to get another pair because I love them so much.  Comfort and cool is worth another buy, right!?

These are available in such cool colors now too, like a wheat color and a wine-red.  That red is something I could probably consider, but black is safe and goes well with EVERYTHING.

Have you ever bought the same pair of boots just so they would last forever in your wardrobe??  What kind?  Let me know what your go-to booties are!!

This is a tailcoat!

Holy Crap!  I just bought this, and it's a major major investment piece for me!  I have been eyeing this piece for a while, and it wasn't until we got a cold spell in LA that I decided to commit to buying this. I found it on sale, and I'm excited to finally receive it.  It looks sooooo warm, and has a removable mink collar for extra warm.  I love this twist on the moto jacket...so unique, and I like that there's extra room in the sleeve, so I can comfortably fit a sweater underneath if I'm in need of extra extra warmth!

Yay!!!

This is barbara | gongini

I'm so excited to share this with you, mostly because after I get my tax refund, I'm going to be buying this.  This is an amazing knit sweater from Barbara | Gongini (my new favorite designer).  I love love love everything that's out on this line (especially their leather jackets...swoon!)

I thought this was a great sweater because it looks so big and comfy while also having a sort of crazy spiderweb structural design to it.  It also reminds me of a suit of armor/chain mail...so I can feel like the black knight when I wear it. 

Eeeeeee.  Love it.  Excited.

This is white pornography.

 

I don't know how, but somehow I found out about UEG.  They make really interesting bags out of crazy futuristic papery plastic material, and what's more, they make clothes out of similarly futuristic fabrics as well, which is pretty neat.

After spending some time on their site, I found their White Pornography collection.  I fell in love.  Simple white tees with embroidery.  The embroidery says "Pornography" which I think is edgy but also funny at the same time (these people definitely have a sense of humor).  If you can't tell by the photograph, the last look has white thread embroidery on a white shirt.  It's my favorite.  Nothing says purity like the color white...extra funny that in this context, white = pornography (which is such a no no taboo to most people).  The above line is made out of jersey.  I think it's a bit sheer, so watch out that you don't show off your own pornography when you wear it !!
