This is Bicolor

Yet another shoe post.  I spent an hour this morning looking at sales from my favorite stores, and I came across these amazing sneakers by Feit.

They're made of vegetable tan leather and are completely handmade.  They seem so comfortable and remind me of those chunky white Adidas sneaks that everyone used to wear in high school (for me, it was way back in the early 2000's).

I love both color combos, and since they're handmade, they're in limited production, so you'll totally be wearing something unique.

This is the Angle!

Hi guys,

I'm so sorry that I've been awol for so many months.  I guess it's been hard for me to get into fashion as of late.  I've been more consumer with writing right now.  I'm trying to complete a YA fantasy novel that will make girls hearts go ba-bump ba-bump.

If you wanna read my blogposts about writing, definitely check out mauramilan.wordpress.com.  I kinda feel like I'll be posting generally about fashion in there too and also about my extreme nerd obsessions.

But right now, I wanna gush about these Helmut Lang boots.

Not sure if you can tell, but the heel comes to the end at a really cute point.  Even though, I haven't been wearing too many high-heel type boots (mostly wearing flat boots now), I'm a sucker for strange heels.  I also love how the top of the heel isn't completely flush with the leather.  It's so blocky and cool.

Oh, Helmut Lang...you got me again!!

This is the girl on fire.

I'm a huge fan of Trish Summerville.  Loved her Dragon Tattoo work so much that I even bought a leather jacket from her collaboration with H&M.  But now she's got a new collab, and it's through 

Net-A-Porter.  Check it out here.

Since, I like more basic styles, I really love the tank top above.  The cut is simple, and the design in the back is classy and cool.  And plus, that bag.  Seriously amazing.  Maybe because it reminds me of my favorite Alexander Wang bag.  I love bags with tons of compartments and several different ways to wear them.  Bag or rucksack...take your pick.

The cowl vest, though, is by Maria Dora, and when I saw it onscreen, I instantly became obsessed with it.  I did some research, and she'll be selling two versions of it soon.  Love this item, especially styled over a slimfitting leather jacket.

This is seriously. amazing.

From Barbara Bui's resort collection.  I want that bomber jacket more than anything.  Seriously, I wear black all the time, and this is the first time I've wanted something white in a very, very long time.  And I don't even mind the flashes of color.

I love birds.  Therefore, I love this jacket...this whole outfit!

This is Tod's.

I don't know why, but I like these!  I'm so in love with chelsea boots; I have 2 Alexander Wang Anouck boots, and I'm always scouring for another unique twist on the chelsea.  These Tod's platform chelseas are pretty cute.  They give you height while also keeping the sleek silhouette of the chelsea.

What do you guys think?  I want one, just don't know where to get one.  They're all sold out on MyTheresa here.

This is Theysken's!

Hey ghouls! 

Thank God this shopping weekend is coming to a close.  Did you guys score any bargain deals that make you squeal?

I have to say I was about to buy a Rick Owens jacket off of outnet since it was marked down so much, but then I found out that this Theysken Theory leather jacket finally went on sale.  I jumped on it, and bought it.  I know, I know....I'm buying too many jackets.  But this is something that's been on my list for a couple months.  Rick Owens, you will have to wait.

What do you think?  I've been looking for an oversized leather jacket, and I tried this on at Theory; I fell in love instantly.  I boxy shape is pretty masculine, but I WAS looking for oversized afterall.    The leather is so soft and thick.  I can't wait to get this jacket in the mail.  ^_^

This is Kimberly Ovitz

Once again, I'm stunned by Kimberly Ovitz's collection.  The clothes were beautiful and flowy, and the styling was inspiring.  I feel like I'm transported to the world of National Geographic...in a good way!  Love that they chose to have everyone barefoot, walking through red clay and mud.  I really wanna do that right now, and then quickly wash my feet.  hahah.

Oh my gosh.  It's been so long, right?  I'm so sorry I've been away; I guess I've just been feeling a little uninspired lately.  But I just wanted to drop in and say hullo.  

I went to Italy recently, and it was ridiculously hot.  Seriously, I would get back to the hotel and just lie there and rub my feet.  So much walking, and none of my shoes are comfortable enough to handle that much travel.  Even so, there were so many sights!  Such a historic country to visit.

The first picture was from Venice, and the second was from a piazza in Rome!  More pics to come; I promise.

I hope everyone is well!

Venice outfit:

Tee: Oak

Leggings: Helmut Lang

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 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 !!

UEG White Pornography

This is silent.

Really in love with the geometry of these suede sandals from Damir Doma.  The cutout on the sides are so unique.  It's such a nice little peekaboo in a very unexpected place.  And the interior lining is such a nice contrast, it reminds me woodblocking for some reason.  This would be a great shoe to have for the upcoming spring and summer seasons.

This is Trosman

Trosman,  I bow down to you.  I've been so into Barbara | Gongini lately, and somehow through that obsession, I found Trosman, and Argentinian label.  Layers and drapery, I love it.  Comfort and style...two of my favorite words when it comes to clothes.  Plus, it's all in my favorite shades of white, gray, and black...like a Newspaper.  Hahah ^_^

This is leather again.

I'm so in love with this incredible outfit from the ZARA website.  Every single piece, I would totally buy and wear and mix and match.  That leather studded jacket--swoon!  And the assymetric top...yes!  Those wedges are so cute too.  Everything, I want it now!

This is glamour.

Wouldn't you feel so awesome wearing this metallic sweater from Trosman?  So hip, so hot!  Yeah, it's kinda hip hop...and it seems like a Korean pop star would wear it, but metallics are in.  It doesn't matter if you look like a reflector...it's cool looking and plus you can serve as a human photo bounce when someone wants to take photos.

This is bag heaven.

I'm sitting here, eating some amazing dark chocolate from Mast Brothers.  It's flavor is vanilla and smoke, and it does taste so smokey.  I just wanted to plug in and say that Zara has some amazing bags out right now.  My fav fav is the last one.  It's a messenger clutch with this crazy geometric 3d design on it.  It looks so futuristic and cool.  The others are simply awesome because of the fade!

Do you have any of these?  I'm so jealous if you do.

This is finsk.

Sorry it's been so long!  I was in New York last weekend, and I got sick.  I spent all this week just getting better, and I've been so tired since my body is spending all of its energy just trying to get back to 100%

So, I thought I'd say hello to the internet again with this post about my WANT shoe of the moment.  I've actually have been looking at these Finsk shoes for a while, andI feel that I really should get them.  They look like a work of art.  Cubeism.

Hope you guys are well!  Let me know how you all are!
