FALL

FALL HAS COME BACK AROUND AND OF COURSE I'M EXCITED. THIS FALL EVERYTHING I LOVED FROM LAST FALL'S COLLECTIONS HAS NOW TRICKLED DOWN INTO EVERY DESIGNER'S COLLECTION THIS SEASON. THE TREND I'M LOVING MOST IS THIS HARD ROCKER GIRL LOOK WHO IS COVERED IN LEATHER AND STUDS AND PAIRED WITH A BIG RED POUT. HERE ARE THE ITEMS ON MY SHOPPING LIST THAT I'LL BE WEARING:

1. LANVIN AVIATORS WITH SCREW DETAIL

2. TOP SHOP STUD STIRRUP BOOT

3. SHOPBOP DAVID LEARNER FULL FOOTED LEGGINGS (PERFECT TO COMPLETE A EDIE SEDGWICK OUTFIT)

4. POUR LA VICTOIRE LORIN STUDDED BOOTIES

5. PHILLIP LIM FUR SWEATER

MY NEW GIRL CRUSH

SHE'S ALL OVER EUROPE. HOW CAN SOMEONE NOT NOTICE HER FLAIR FOR PLAYED DOWN TOMBOYISH FASHION. SHE'S THE GIRL IN THE CLUB THAT ISN'T DANCING ON TABLES, BUT BEHIND THE DJ BOOTH WITH THE BIG CHUNKY HEADPHONES ON. SHE'S THE GIRL WHO ISN'T DATING THE HOTTEST ACTOR DU JOUR, BUT THE GIRL GOING FOR THE OLDER PHOTOGRAPHER OR MUSICIAN. I'M JUST PLAIN JEALOUS OF THIS GIRL. I WOULDN'T MIND TRADING PLACES WITH HER FOR A DAY AND GRACING THE COVER OF HARPER'S BAZAAR WITH MY FACE! 

WHO IS SHE?

ALEXA CHUNG. 

SPRING

WHAT I WANT TO WEAR ONCE THE SUN FINALLY COMES OUT:

1. PLEATED SKIRT...WE'RE THINKING 40S TENNIS LOOK RIGHT NOW

2. LONG BOHEMIAN PRINT SKIRT...WITH AN OXFORD SHIRT TUCKED IN

3. BURSTS OF PASTEL COLORS... OMG! COLOR... VERY UNLIKE ME...

4. JUMPERS... THERE ARE SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM!

5. HAREM PANTS... SILLY LOOKING TREND THAT I HAVE NO PROBLEM TAKING PART IN 

6. CHUNKY LEATHER HEELS WITH CUTOUTS

LA VIE EN NOIR

I HAVE FOUND MY NEW HOME: PARIS. I LOVE THE FRENCH STYLE! EVERYONE LOOKS INCREDIBLY CHIC IN THEIR ALL BLACK ENSEMBLES. EVEN THE BOYS PULL OFF FASHIONABLE LOOKS THAT DON'T TIP OFF THE GAYDAR. I CAN SAY THAT I DO LOVE THE VINTAGE STORES HERE MORE THAN I DO THE USUAL PLACES TO SHOP. ESPECIALLY SINCE THE EURO HAS TAKEN PERSONAL OFFENSE ON MY BUDGET. JUST YESTERDAY I BOUGHT A FABULOUS FUR VEST. I THINK I PETTED MYSELF THE REST OF THE DAY SINCE, OF COURSE, I PUT IT ON RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT IT. 

THINGS I'VE NOTICED THAT THE FRENCH ARE WEARING:

1. FLAT OXFORD SHOES: I PICKED A PAIR OF BLACK PATENT LEATHER ONES AT REPETTO. 

2. FUR: ANYWHERE AND EVERYWHERE PLEASE.

3. CAPE

4. LEATHER JACKET

5. ANKLE BOOTS 

6. TEXTURED TIGHTS

7. CHUNKY KNIT SCARFS

AND THE GOLDEN RULE IS BLACK. JUST LIKE MINE.
