sea of socks.
^^^see what i did there? - so much love for jane aldridge and her love of shoes; my love however? socks!
i went shopping at BARNEY's last weekend in search of some new socks to add to my ever growing collection of colored foot condoms! i knew BARNEY's would deliver exactly what i was looking for- their sock displays are always so insanely zany and altogether perfectly chaotic.
i walked away with these three babies... it was hard choosing just three, but i knew there were other things i was looking to spend my hard earned pimp cash on:
prada has a new friend! an oversized gray nylon bum-bag from coach- an unexpected purchase. when i first saw it i thought it was a crossbody messenger that layed flat across my back; the SA was very quick to correct me, but even after her correction i plan on wearing it my way and not as a bum bag. i'll leave the fanny pack look to 'fanny pack'. the way this bag lays flat across my back and stays close to my body (comfortably) was what sold me; i love it.
when i saw yvan rodic's book 'facehunter' priced at a super affordable $10, i couldn't pass it up. the images are beyond.
my favorite find during my mini (retail)therapy session: this gorgeous missoni scarf.
the colors, the pattern, the texture-- divine.
similar styles found here, here, here & here!

too cool for school.
backpack; prada.
it arrived in the mail this morning.
originally introduced in 1985, this prada model (the vela backpack) has been a best seller for almost 20 years.
i'm now the proud owner of a mint 1986 edition :-)
since its introduction in the eighties, a small saffiano leather triangle has been added behind the triangle prada logo on the outside.

the september issue.
each year, VOGUE's september issue is the fattest magazine on news stands everywhere; jam packed with page after page of advertisements, editorials and articles dictating what the coming year will bring in fashion.
here are a few images that popped out at me:
cover girl halle berry looks gorgeous (as always) - but isn't she a little irrelevant? she's been MIA for years! she killed it in such movies as monster's ball and swordfish and was seen all over the place! catwoman knocked her down a few pegs and after that disaster of a movie she propelled into mama mode after the birth of her daughter nahla. <---- what in there screams VOGUE cover? nothing. moving on:

yay! right at the start two ads had me jumping for joy- yet another GO international line with a designer label at target is on it's way! as well as a collaboration w/ alexa chung at madewell!
i love nothing more than affordable fashion. and these are prime examples of just that :-)

the beaded pucci mask in this neiman ad is to die for.
marc jacobs and christina ricci, mk & a, karlie - too much to handle.
obsessed.
obsessed.
the color pallet in this editorial was flawless.
the way that orange was used w/ black and white w/out creating a halloween vibe is astounding.
the lace, the sheer, the leather - all of it is brilliant.

and i end with this simple MOSCHINO ad, which i for some reason am absolutely in love with.
so simple. so italian. so chic.

annie hall.
some time spent relaxing by a smaller pond on campus, channeling Annie Hall (Woody Allen, 1977) through and through. i LOVE it when a girl dresses on the masculine side while managing to remain feminine. i think i'm a bit of a lesbian.
FRYE sandals, D&G slacks, PRADA belt, POETRY CLOTHING top, vintage pearls, CHRISTIAN DIOR bow tie, CYNTHIA ROWLEY shades
(look closely; she's chasing ducks)

valentino scarf (bow), jade 'sabertooth' necklace by shapes in stone, zoa top, vinyl leggings from express, sarah jane studded booties, christian dior sequin/beaded beltmodel: Vassiliki Ellwood
photographer: Leigh Fountain
