culottes and cake

Published by

Accessories are the icing on the cake. And cake without icing is basically just bread… so yeah – it’s a must. Feeling especially chic thanks to net-a-porter and fjord timepieces. If you think you can’t afford quality accessories, put those few shopping dollars in a jar the next few times you’re tempted to shop, and save up for something special that will last years. It’s worth the investment. #qualityoverquantity Oh and remember when only the homeschooled kids were wearing culottes and it was supper weird and awkward when you were playing in the park with all the cool kids wearing jeans? #personallifestory Well they’re back! And I couldn’t be loving it more. They’re a chic minimal piece that also plays off of the normcore trend with the anti-fashion league. Plus, if you get the knit versions like me, it’s basically like sweatpants made socially acceptable.

work hard, play harder, and eat a lot

At FFaNY! For any of you not in the shoe business (…probably all of you)  That is not some weirdly brilliant acronym I was cool enough to make up for your amusement, it’s a shoe show held 4 times a year in the city, and one of my bitchin perks of the job. The December show is the ultimate pleasure… it’s the first time our team gets to lay eyes on our new crop of product for the following year (so this time, we’re planning styles for our Fall/Winter 2015 collections). Wishing I could share a sneak peak at some of the eye-candy, but all under wraps for now! (AH THEY’RE SO GOOD!) X) Aside from the buzz and hustle at the showroom, a bit of time is also spent catching up with a few dear friends local there, enjoying the views and delicacies (so many treats for a small-town girl like me!), and of course, an insanely well-planned wardrobe. First day of the show, sporting perforated leather joggers (one of my prize investment pieces), …

casual friday

Published by

A bit overcast, and some my say dreary, but I say an excuse for an extra cup of coffee, and taking casual Friday very seriously. The wear of the day just so happened to work for a Dimmi Shoes post, so you can check it out on their blog as well. Dimmi donates 100% of profits to medical research in ALS. (before there ever was such a thing as the #icebucketchallenge) What I’m wearing: well if you read the first paragraph, you know I’m in Dimmi Shoes. This particular one is called the “Jogger”. With the trainer phenomena, one can’t have enough varied colors of sneakers.  Going for a normcore vibe for today by mixing with a dressy box top and Levi jeans. And when I wear boyfriend jeans, in this instance I do mean jeans,… that are boys.
