Get Retro or Get Lost

Anyways, quick post today.  I'm in North Carolina with my father this weekend and am about to go sailing on my uncle's boat.  Just had time to post a few items that would be great to buy if you feel like getting super retro.  It is a goal of mine to have the guts to start wearing bathrobes as a fashion statement but I don't think my friends would forgive me. I already wear a coat on the regs that looks like a bathrobe and I think that's close enough.  Maybe it would be OK if I were wearing a pair of these Alexander Wang heels? No?  What about the leopard cuff?  No? Well you could take a picture of me with this sweet Kumo San 35mm camera, then tag me on Facebook and make fun of me at least.    


Totally unrelated to this post, I just got a Sony Nex3 camera and am pretty excited.  I'm going to start taking some of my own (non point and shoot snapshots) photos on the blog!  Yay- big girl blogger time!

Everything that I Love: Street Steez

I normally don't rip directly from someone else's editorial but this had to be an exception. I found this collage on www.fashionologie.com  yesterday.  They found items to recreate a look from Andy Torres' Style Scrapbook's.  There are so many elements in this chic's outfit that are lovable- a sweatshirt, name plate jewelry, stripes, relaxed and wearable fabrics with a relaxed and cool silhouette. I'm also really into short boots and will be writing a separate post on them soon.   I also LOVE gold watches- mixing gold and silver jewelry is totes acceptable. DO IT.

Benjamin Bixby

More on André 3000- because he deserves it. His Spring 2008 menswear line line, Benjamin Bixby, was dandy-tastic . It was also visionary. The dandy is where it's at in the direction of both menswear and

womenswear right now. Of course, André was two years ahead of schedule. The Bixby line was inspired by 1935 football uniforms….ummm Alexander Wang Fall 2010 much?
