 okay, so first of all, i know i post about black ankle boots way too much (especially the motorcycle proenza ones--i think this is their third noclosetspace appearance) and in my defense one pair of this quartet is actually navy, but i was looking at la garconne and i couldn't help myself. at least some of these aren't quite as expensive as the proenza ones. in the meantime i'm willing them all to go on sale... with my extensive esp skills of course.

her look is always so fresh and manages to be both classic and slightly quirky without being too girly. girl crush.

autumn

Photobucket

florida is obviously lacking in the tree department. while there are more than enough palm trees and coconuts, they just don't seem to carry the same allure of lush brick red and copper yellow leaves.

guess i'll have to live vicariously until my trip to indiana in october... crossing my fingers that the campus will still be in its firey autumn glory when i get there.

i spoke previously about my accidental rachel zoe project binge the other day, however, i did not divulge my love of rachel's assistant's style. putting aside her obvious attitude issues, taylor has this whole edgy-rock-glam look going, and while i'm more of a classic-edgy kinda girl myself (see no colors or animal print), i love that she lives in LA and still rocks a mainly monochromatic wardrobe.

this ensemble in particular is love at first sight, mostly because of the accessories: 
first, the thigh-high christian louboutins. um, duh. perfection. 
second, that chanel bag is super cool; kinda oversized in a messenger bag sorta way but still compact enough to throw over your shoulder or carry in the crook of your arm. and its navy. i'll take two please.

also, she has the balenciaga messenger/tote bag in black. total handbag envy.

the nutcracker

Photobucket

not sure whether i should declare kate to be clara (the girl who receives the nutcracker as a gift) or the sugar plum fairy (who's putting a new, but still physically demanding, meaning to the idea of "toe-shoes"), but in any case i love what they tried to do with this particular photograph. 

sidenote: is it sad that this picture is already making me nostalgic for christmas? ugh and fall isn't even here yet...

post bingeing on episodes of the rachel zoe project, i simply had to attack the natalia vodianova thread on tfs: her in that herve leger dress: i die. probably would have peed my pants if i had been brad.

sad to say that so far LFW is kinda disappointing me thus far. here's hoping tomorrow holds a fabulous show i would kill my first born for...

the eyes, the over-the-top hair and lips, the reckless lifestyle: so glam in a really f-ed up way.

soundtrack:
cotton crush by kevin devine
point of discust by low
bang bang bang by soho dolls

"love. love. love. what is it good for? absolutely nothing."

today i'm currently channeling the middle picture: was on my feet for 18 hours yesterday to work a fashion show. redefining exhausted.

ah photo booth... what would i do without you?

i found this necklace at a vintage store about a year ago and am obsessed with it. however, if i lose another jewel i may cry.

fruit of the loom wife beater + vintage rhinestones = laid-back luxe at its finest.
(and let's be honest, its still 90 degrees here, any more than this and i'd die of heat exhaustion)
