COMBINATION


Because I love wearing winter and summer clothes at the same time

LOOSEN UP


My Black Friday/Cyber Monday purchases are all coming in the mail this week and I get to have the pleasure of playing dress up and breaking in new shoes. So far I've only received my package from Neiman's Last Call which included a pair of booties and a bag. I was thisclose to getting a patent leather Proenza PS11 but I didn't have the balls to drop a thousand dollars for something that I'll probably destroy in the long run. Shopping sucks when you can't afford it. Good thing sales exist!

MESH


Taking notes from Burberry's Fall '14 Menswear show via wearing a mesh tank top under heavy winter outerwear.

Can we never forget this??

UNDERCOVER


Receiving a mini skirt in the mail while it's freezing outside isn't exactly ideal. I ordered the damn thing when it was still summer but had to exchange them for a smaller size and now with Texas's bipolar weather I can't even wear it how I want. This sparked a hunt for thick tights I could wear with this skirt. There's no way in hell I'm going bare legged in this cold, I'd have to be a psychopath or a club slut to even consider it. I spend about 80 years looking through messes of tights at my local discount store and the good fight finally pays off. I found fleece tights. Not leggings. Tights. Holy shit, where have these been all my life??

UNIFORM


My winter uniform for now. Once I get my Proenza biker jacket from the cleaners it's going to be in heavy rotation. It's hard figuring out winter looks when the weather skips the 60-50ºF phase entirely and goes straight into the 40-30ºF range. No transition. Just arctic chills.

RAIN FOREVER

The forecast calls for rain aaaaalllllllll day today. Cue me running errands in the rain whilst wearing really weather-inappropriate clothing. I could really use one of those clear Miu Miu ensembles right about now.

SHEER RIB



I. Love. Ribbed. Knits. Seriously, there's nothing in the world better/cozier than a chunky ribbed knit. Before the trend exploded on the fall runways, I was always in the mens section hoarding gargantuan sweaters - the bigger the better. But what's even better than a ribbed knit is.... TWO ribbed knits, obviously. I love the heavy textures against the fluidity of the chiffon shorts and sheer tights. 

BEDFAST


Nothing is better than avocado toast with an egg on top and a glass of almond matcha milk. In bed.

SOFT STRUCTURE

say hi to my really gross spider veins

This outfit is so awkwardly monochromatic but it's really the silhouette that I'm after. Everything is a bit structured but disheveled. The tee is ridiculously crinkly yet has a solid shape, as do the pants, and the shoes and bag are sharp and angular.
I've realized since I (almost) reluctantly bought these Helmut pants they've wedged their way into my rotation of favorites. I've worn them so much that I've already ripped the seam in the knee.
I wholeheartedly believe that everyone needs to own a pair of baggy leather trousers at least sometime in their lifetime, it'll change your life! I swear! It'll let your thigh hairs grow in an outwards direction! It'll make you feel less shitty when you go out to dinner and eat the entire menu! Can you tell I'm really excited?! 
My friends probably think I don't own any other pairs of pants anymore, but I'm okay with that.

TWO WAYS

This Ann Demeulemeester robe has served me very well throughout the years. It's got buttons all up and down it so it's a really transformative piece. I was playing with draping on this robe and I came up with this asymmetric skirt/cowl neck top shape. Asymmetric skirts are all the rage right now (obviously look at you, Anthony Vaccarello) which I'm not mad at. It's flattering and sexy without being too ouvert, what's not to love?


10/22/14

STRINGS ATTACHED

As of right now I'm reeeeaaaaally into this Ann Demeulemeester top, if you can call it that... My boyfriend said it looks like a giant g string which is actually a pretty accurate description. But shit, I get so many Haider ss11 vibes from it so it's basically flawless. It only made sense to stay within the Haider vein with this top, so say hi to my favorite outfit as of late: this Ann D g string tank, baggy leather Helmut trousers, Rick Owens boots and my stringiest little La Perla bra that my friend also compared to a g string. Horray to articles of clothing that look like g strings but aren't actually wedged in your ass!

NEON BLACK



Spring 2015 brought an onslaught of platform heeled eye candy. Who doesn't like platforms? I'm going to go ahead and profess my love for the once fleeting trend. Platforms, first and foremost, are the only reason that comfortable 6 inch heels exist. They are empowering, I know this because the minute I slip on these gargantuan platforms I feel like I can conquer the world while simultaneously being really really ridiculously good looking. Not to mention when paired with leather pants (even if they do make your butt look weird).

I'LL TAKE HER PLACE

ZOO

Today, I'm being domestic and watching this iconic movie



Every time I see Owen Wilson I literally cackle because my (newly, at the time) ex saw me at the club with him and had a huge freak out melt down and his girlfriend tried to sit with us but Owen got his body guard to kick her out.
Literally Mean Girls "you can't sit with us" style. Still cackling.

ONE


Everyone needs a one shouldered top/dress. It's sophisticated enough for whatever conservative people do yet sexy enough for the club or a date. Since one of my friends has held my one shouldered American Apparel dress captive for the past several years I had to move on. I want to say that this one shouldered Margiela top is much better than any American Apparel item of clothing.

EVENET

Taking advantage of the few days of cold to bust out my new bb, this Acne Studios Eve coat. 


During Dallas's last cold front, I took the liberty of moving (almost) all my summer clothes into my storage closet and bringing out my winter clothes. Oh, how I've missed my winter clothes! I damn near forgot what I had so it was like vintage shopping through my own wardrobe.
As I'm putting up my coats, I realize that I don't own a black coat.
Seriously? Something so basic, something that every clothes hoarder should have at least one of and I don't have one. Clearly something is seriously wrong with this picture.
This then sparks hours of ignoring my boyfriend and online shopping. It wasn't even coat appropriate weather yet but I had to be prepared for whatever Dallas's psychopathic weather had to bring. 
Then, just in time for 50ºF weather, my coat gets delivered (although there was a lot of UPS drama involved). It's even more perfect than the photos showed, and the fit is oversized-ly perfect. I can have my chunky knit sweaters underneath and be able to still move my arms, unlike the other Acne coat I have... *side eye*

MARVEL MARBEL

Here I am in my natural habitat, the bedroom (or at least one side of it). I recently re-did my sitting area and now I'm always here. So much for having an office... But it's ultra cozy albeit a bit maximal but I have so much shit I don't ever want to part with. For example, my Irving Penn and Tilda Swinton in Comme Des Garçons photos which were in a box for a lifetime. Now I've made space for them, and it feels nice to have a bit of beauty around. My boyfriend is super minimal and hates anything on the walls except for TVs and shelves so this is truly MY side of the room.

And since its grossly hot outside, I'm doing some indoor blogging.

RIBBED

Ribbed knits are my favorite fall trend. It really does not get any cozier or more comfortable than a good ribbed knit.
Now if only I could wear them without getting drenched in sweat....

I'm obsessed with these boots. I just figured I'd warn you guys ahead of time because I'm probably going to wear them non stop.
Sorry?

Buy them here.

COLOGNE TRACKS

I've been doing that thing where I forget to blog... It's hard.





In fashion related news, I just bought the biggest bottle of Bleu de Chanel humanly possible because I prefer to smell like a sexy Parisian man (as proven by my also gigantic bottles of Terre d'Hermes and Yves Saint Laurent La Nuit de l'Homme).

AHHHH




This is literally my new favorite movie.
Barry White comes on every time they shoot up.
What kind of sheer genius?!

GREY


Apologies for the grainy ass iphone selfie but I'm GREY! I'm getting a lot of weird looks from basic bitch pedestrians but hey, I saw five blonde asians in one day I got over it real quick.
Who knew my 3 years of being blonde would lead to this

ISABEL EMULATOR

This is the Isabel Marant look that has become my daily inspiration for spring.
I love long sleeves with shorts so it makes sense that I love it so much.

My new phone case is ridiculous, it's official.
Also my priorities are clearly fucked because my screen is cracked and I bought a case instead.

ULTRA SNOW


I Manic Panic'ed my hair today with Ultra Violet and Virgin Snow, but you can't really tell in these photos...
Too much sun ----____----
But indoor lighting makes it look almost blue so I put on this shirt thinking it'd play off each other
Oh well it was too nice today to be indoors

DRY SHINE

Oribe Dry Texturizing Spray and Supershine Light Moisturizing Cream

It also helps that I got an intense hair cut so my ends look fresh as hell...

MOTO JEWEL

I've always loved the contrast of wearing both masculine and feminine pieces. Instead of taking the obvious route of a frilly dress and a moto jacket, I leaned more towards silky pyjamas for a more tailored silhouette.

COLD FRONT

So in my last post I was saying how it's too fucking hot out to take photos outside... Well, a crazy storm came in and now that it's over it's soooooo coooold!! I love it even though I had already busted out all the fans in anticipation of summer. Today I went outside and had a photo shoot without a single drop of sweat rolling down my face. It's a miracle.

On another note: I came to the realization that boyfriend jeans are just as unflattering to ones butt as mom jeans. WHY??? I just want my butt to look cute, ok??

DREAM TIMBS

HOOD BY AIR

These embellished Timbs give me so much fucking life!!! It's so ghetto Prada ss10. I really need to have these.. or DIY them, either way it is a LOOK.

5/12/14

SUPERSHINE

Oribe's Supershine Light Moisturizing Cream

My new Holy Grail for smoothing creams. Use it wet or dry, either way there's tiny particles of glitter that is fail-proof for shiny locks.
This paired with my Kerastase Chroma Thermique, Oleo-Relax Serum and Aquage Detailing Creme give me a clean yet textured/messy look without the use of hot tools, which is a huge bonus for those with fucked up bleached out hair like mine.

KEEPER

Is this Zimmermann swimsuit worth the splurge at this very moment (2:49am)?
I do need a new suit for my LA trip in July... This isn't usually my style but I've become smitten already... Or perhaps I'm sleep deprived?
Pleeeaaaaase go on sale before July....

If not I'll probably still get it anyway

WANG SS14-ISH

I know I constantly hate on Wang, but my hatred is more target towards his work for Balenciaga. I don't even look at the collections.
However, Wang's main line is still the same ol' downtown slick bitch shit it's always been, and I can't give it up after 8 years of loyalty.
Oh my god it's been 8 years.

MONO

I stumbled across this photo of Sasha Pivovarova at Max Mara Spring 2011 and thought to myself, "I have this fucking outfit in my closet why am I thinking about buying more purple shorts".
So, I went for a dive in my closet and found a more summer appropriate rendition of this look.
This may be the easiest outfit I've never thought of before.

DECARNIN'S BALMAIN

Often times when I think about badass effortlessness I revert to Balmain spring 2010. Christophe Decarnin was nearing the end of his term at Balmain but he sure made it iconic. Plus the ripped up t shirt that carried a controversial price tag ($1,625) didn't hurt. 
This is my spring interpretation of this look (aka with a light jacket).
