m.i.a.
and i do mean ACTION. i do think this new (awesome) job will allow me more time for blogging, but it’s been a big adjustment – waking up at 5 am, and working until 2 or 3 pm – as yet, i haven’t figured out how to get enough sleep the night before to bypass a nap when i get home; usually a 3 to four hour nap, which sucks me of any energy and still sends me off to bed early. a typical day for me now looks like this: wake up, stumble into some …

Important Detail: Belgian Shoes
When I was in LA last week me and Preston had and epic Thai dinner with Lesley and Lena and I had a FREAK OUT over Lena’s shoes!!!!I thought they were 60s vintage, I was totally wrong. They are Belgian Shoes and they have a store on the Upper East Side and I have to get a pair RIGHT AWAY. It’s the kind of thing where they come in 900 thousand colors and you can make your own combos, which sometimes overwhelms me, but how cool are they? Loved Lena’s …

greetings from a dining room table in icy cold brooklyn! it’s finally feeling like winter here – the temperature has literally dropped 30 degrees in the past few days, and it’s almost a relief to bundle up in a winter coat and gloves (although this haircut is leaving much to be desired warmth-wise.) i’ve had a pretty serious lack of outfit posts lately (and posts in general, but i digress) – it’s not on accident; my hair hasn’t been cut or colored since i first chopped it and blonded it back. . . …

Lou & Piccadilly
Lou is a premium French lingerie brand established in France in 1946, over 60 years ago. It was started by a couple André Faller and Lucienne and the story is that they met one day on the Orient Express and André immediately fell under her charms. She was a gymnast with a passion for dressmaking and she’d been making her own lingerie for years and together they started the brand. The name Lou was André’s pet name for Lucienne. Always a sucker for a love story, I was drawn automatically to this …

Black and White Summer
I reckon it’s not a stretch to go all summer wearing all white or all black head to toe or in combination. T-shirt and mules: Zara. Try Tibi, Margiela or these mules if you hate your toes. Leather trousers: Isabel Marant x H&M. Blazer: Asos. Bag: Chanel. Try Rebecca Minkoff. Handcuff necklace: Jennifer Zeuner. Try Gorjana. Friends I talk to about what they want to wear this summer are feeling the same way; just wear monochrome for weeks. This earlier post in all white didn’t even get grubby…

undone for good
(Sunday Somewhere x fashiontoast Paris sunglasses, Bones & Feathers Collective choker, Tuchuzy tank, Friend of Mine Vampire leather skirt, Aquazzura Sahara heels, Michael Verheyden tote) From what I can remember, I wore this outfit three days in a row. Around that. Except it slowly got diluted down to Birkenstocks, but what doesn’t these days? So I have these beautiful velvety foot wrappy sandals now, and though the instinct with latte toned suede is to go full on buttery pastels, I did the opposite. I love the contrast of raw…
