I Die Friday: a burst of color from the sea







From Top:

With such scarce sun over the past few weeks, maybe New Yorkers could use a little pick me up. This "I Die Friday" is meant to evoke machinations of the ocean, of warmer times, of brighter days, of a more welcoming climate. It always lights joy in my little heart to think of more colorful seasons.  I am  lusting after both the Asos high tops and the Michael Spirito earrings- self presents to further uplift spirits? Perhaps. Have a lovely weekend and God Bless this mess we call winter.

New clothing line monster crush: LnA





Happy New Year! Hope everyone is happy, healthy, and ready to start with a clean slate!

If you've seen me recently I've most likely been wearing the above LnA items. Ad nauseum. All together, separately, to bed, to Netflix, to dates, to bitch, to laugh, to cry, to garden (yeah right). But you get my drift. Recently introduced to this line, I'm pretty convince it was designed with me in mind: grandiosity complex much?

But really. Comfortable separates you can do ANYTHING in! And by "anything" I mean roll out of bed and go directly to a party and no one would know you were double dipping. I wore the Column skirt on New Years Eve when I didn't even feel like going out and IT FELT LIKE I HAD STAYED HOME IN MY PJs. But I was out. Having fun(ish). Let's be honest- New Years can be weird. But speaking to the topic, this line is worth a long, intense gander if you're a girl of the casual chic ilk.

Never underestimate the power of a shift dress



Say what you will about Victoria Bekham, her ridiculous hair cuts and face that may or may not be injected with cement, but the woman knows how to dress to optimize her figure. Her secret seems to be that she mainly sticks to shift dresses in various incarnations. Why? Because a well tailored shift dress can enhance the good and it can hide a myriad of sins. I purchased this pretty wool felt number on Friday when I forgot about my work Christmas party (typical)  and had to run out at lunch and find something STAT. It was a pretty penny but staples like this are essential to have in your closet and are well worth the investment. While you might purchase cheaper things only to throw them in garbage bags and give them to charity next season, this dress is timeless and you can wear it regularly for years. The stellar tailoring of a great designer is hand over fist better than a cheaper version, also it will not wrinkle. Easy and gorgeous, isn't the print to die for and the asymmetrical shoulder so understated and rad?

Occupy Wallstreet: Yup I Really Was That For Halloween








I've been meaning to post pics of the dress I made for Halloween for Oh, About A Month. Nervous laughter. WHERE DOES TIME GO?  Geesh. So I was a rambunctious rendition of 'Occupy Wallstreet'. I laminated photos of some of the protest signs and images, then proceeded to superglue them all over a black sequined dress. The back of the dress is self-explanatory (I hope). I think it went over pretty well. The manicure was done by my friend Claire. The bottom image is from the fancy bathroom of a fly ass party Fiona Byrne and Alexa Chung  (amongst others) threw at the Tribeca Grand. At said party one girl dressed up like an enormous banana: she is my new hero though I may never know her name.

I Die Friday




Happy Friday Love Birds!  Here are some items to dream about this Halloween weekend. I'm super excited about my costume- haven't done Halloween up right in years. I'm tempted give away my costume right now but where would be the fun in that? I'll wait to post pics. Plus, I'm weary of copy  cats ganking my steeze.

Back to what puts a nail in my coffin this Friday - firstly these Rag & Bone Jean Leggings. I am refusing to call them the other word, yeah you know what I'm talking about. I've been looking for a great pair of red jeans for a while - these are the perfect color because the orange undertones make the red not too garish. And the fit, well it's major.  Then these Lizzie Fortunato Half Moon Earrings are just like wearing little rockstars dangling from the sides of your head.  Weird analogy? Yes it is. Both the jeans and the earrings are rad and relatively affordable.  The Nicholas K. Brigade Jacket  is totes amazeballs, and looks so warm, but it's also over $1,000 so.....the stuff of dreams. Happy Halloween ya'll!

If I Were a Rich Man - my lofty fall wish list





 




If I were rich, I'd mos def purchase these three items for fall.  A little pricey, but a lot amazing, they're all modern versions of classic styles: the cape, the military jacket, and the flat.  What makes them modern is the devilish details -  that the cape has a off center exposed zipper, the military jacket has a modern fit, and the flat has awesome metal ball embellishments.  Want them all!  Donations accepted.
