cos hoodie

h&m vest

zara skirt

Apologies for the slow updates lately, still one long week to push through before I can escape the city for a little country getaway.

I spotted this hoodie originally on Columbine's blog, who is doing a really good job at the styling of Styleby magazine. I then later accidentally came across the jumper in the menswear department of Cos.. with it's cosy thick scuba material, it just had to be mine. Also on monday my Nowhere shoes arrived! you might already guess what I'm going to say next.. I wish the heel was higher. Nevertheless I've been using them all week and they are surprisingly comfortable.

ps. I've been so taken by your positive feedback on the Grazia feature! love you all xxx

You know what's so great about this time of year (other than the smell of christmas trees, specialty pumpkin spiced lattes and required by law vacation days)? Loads of the shoes that we died for in all the fashion week street style shots (here, here, here, et cetera, et cetera) are finally on sale!

Take THOSE cape Wangs for example. Poof! 30% off! And the best part...the sales only get better!

1.Stacks (and stacks and stacks) of striped shirts. This is an impressive pile, but I'd be willing to bet that if I stacked mine in the same way, it might be almost the same height
2.Pretttty chandeliers (and pretty decorative things in general). I'm celebrating 3 years with my lovely boyfriend Sam today, and we're going to dinner at a place we've been wanting to try forever. In a weird way this chandelier is inspiring my outfit.

The Anatomy of Desire

2011-11-30T13:31:00.000-08:00

Una Burke pants. Photograph by Diego Indraccolo.

Harnesses and restraints have been a running trend for the past few years, and in the newly released book, Design Behind Desire, they get a lengthy examination along with other fetishistic accessories. The stunning hardcover, part of a new series of art, fashion, and design books from Farameh Media, is a comprehensive survey of work from contemporary designers whose pieces are either overtly or covertly erotic. Naturally, Fleet Ilya's revised Hannibal Lecter style mask makes the cut, along with Bliss Lau's leather and metal body armor, and Betany Vernon's cheeky and lux jewels. While the focus is mainly on designers working now, recent work is juxtaposed against classic fetish pieces like Meret Oppenheim's fur coffee cup. Gathered together in one book, all the objects explore the different facets of desire, and even if whips and bondage aren't your cup of tea, you're bound to find something between the covers that inspires serious material lust.

MY AFTERNOON AT HARRY WINSTON

2011-11-29T11:04:00.000-08:00

ph: Ana Schechter

Last week, I was invited to HARRY WINSTON on 5th Avenue for lunch and to check out their iconic engagement ring collection. The moment I stepped through the door I was in diamond heaven! I was given the opportunity to create my dream engagement ring with Harry Winston designers. My dream design would then be sketched for me to take home. I got to see every diamond cut and setting imaginable. I mean, I just about died slipping these rings on my finger! Seriously, the most sparkling beauties I have ever seen! The design I fell in love with was a classic three-carat, round brilliant diamond solitaire ring ♥

We then headed to Harry Winston's old private office (via his tiny personal elevator!), where we were greeted with a delicious elderflower cocktail- one of the best I've ever had! Over cocktails, I got to watch the beautiful video I exclusively posted for you above, showing the design making process of these engagement rings from beginning to end. Ring making is truly an art!

Over the three course lunch we chatted about the diamonds and got to hear some great stories about Harry Winston's history, their charity involvement, and hear about some amazing celebrity and royal encounters. Before leaving, I was presented with my personalized engagement ring sketch- a perfect souvenir that I will make sure to show my boyfriend every chance I get! ;)

Overall, I truly appreciated the personalized experience and getting to learn more about the history and art behind these creations. I want to send out a huge thank you to the Harry Winston team for one of the dreamiest afternoons I've ever had!

Head on over to HARRY WINSTON to check out all of their engagement rings.
I dare you not to fall in love with one!

With that, I tested out this recipe as a potential gift contender and they are a total win. You can make them in large quantities (3 stops in one night...no problem), they're muy tasty and easy for the host to serve with just a napkin (who wants a gift that means more dish-washing?).

As a glasses wearer, I'm much more aware of details when it comes to eyeglasses (or at least it feels that way). I've been wearing the same Burberry frames for years and years now, just because I feel they suit my face so well. Sorry for the punny title, but I'm thinking of changing my frames one of these days just to switch things up, and all these are a lot crazier than the ones I wear but I'm kind of okay with that! Also, I just watched the newest Selby film about Lucy Chadwick--if any of you can ID those frames, I will love you forever! They are the ones I truly want and I can't find the designer anywhere! I'd post a picture but I'm writing this from the airport and the internet sucks. Love you.

my style is forever evolving, but in a way this outfit felt like a throwback to what i was wearing back when this blog first began. i guess big gold jewelry, paired with possibly-too-many prints (never!) is always going to be my safe place.

it started with this padlock-spots-plus-snakeskin-print sachin + babi blouse, which encouraged me to keep piling on the patterns. polka dots and leopard have always seemed like neutrals to me, and it just made sense to finish it all off with richly colored leather accessories, to highlight the blouse's singular, emerald leather stripe.

A bit of a continuation from yesterdays post.. although I'm in total basics, reeeeally excited about the shoes. They simply are the solution to wearing a manly brogue without wearing flats. I've only seen acne and simone rocha do it right. When these first came out I said it's one of the ugliest shoes I've seen in a long time. I guess there is always the attraction in the things you can not get or the ones you publicly state that you hate. Me and my fugly shoes are now very happy together.

I spent the past few days working at the V Ave Shoe Repair sale at Tvalpalatset and as much fun as I've been having making off-colored jokes with my favorite fellow obnoxious-American girls (the sisters Loeb), I've been sad that I've had to spend the few gorgeous, sunny days that we've had so far working in a basement with no natural light. I took the day off today to cook for a belated Thanksgiving celebration, and was so happy to get a glimpse of the sun this weekend, as the ratio of light to dark hours have had me feeling a bit like a a vampire.

Spring at Kurt Geiger

2011-11-25T16:29:00.000-08:00

During the week I skipped class to see the new spring collection by Kurt Geiger. Since the launch of their accessory line, I've been quite mesmerized by their designs..

The new collection was beautifully bright and surprisingly ladylike. The mix of sorbet hues and retro prints made me crave beach weather, sun and candy.. seeing the brand new sunglass collection and knowing a bikini will also be part of the collection did not make it any easier for me. But overall the visit did make me smile, I kinda know what I want to look like next spring. I was especially taken by the neon mary janes, baby blue shades and caged cut-out booties, but knowing me this list will still change many times. Luckily there is still time.

For some reason, I feel like this is exactly how Tati Cotliar would dress if this wasn't an editorial--either way the slouchy letterman's jacket and the mickey mouse sweater are so easy and yet so chic--and who can resist all that denim?

{ love } forever

2011-11-25T08:45:00.000-08:00

i hope all of you here in the states had a very happy thanksgiving yesterday ~ and that everyone else had an amazing thursday!! i have so much to be thankful for, including terrific readers (thank you!), a great family, and an incredible group of creative, kindhearted friends.

two of them, marie and fred, were recently married in austin (i flew in from this shoot to attend), in a celebration that was distinctive, inspiring, and very them.

my dear friend whitney (we've been thisclose since 6th grade!) and i served as flower girls, in crowns i whipped up (using this process, but with fuller garland and real flowers). she wore a custom-made louise black dress and vintage cape; i coordinated in an over-dyed marni gown (i bathed it in navy dye to better match whitney's look) and alexander wang boots.

the bride was beautifully bold in a buckskin, fringed poncho and ball skirt (made by leslie crow of heyoka leather and paired with white cowboy boots), the groom even bolder in a red velvet, saville row suit with black leather lapels (paired with a bolo tie and bare feet!).

it was a joyous occasion in every way, and i thought you might enjoy seeing this little peek as you head into a long weekend filled with family and friends.

{ special thanks to jordan and jacqueline for bestowing their hair and makeup magic on whitney and me!! }

Hope all my American readers had a nice thanksgiving! I celebrated with some friends by eating a huge home cooked meal, 20 hours later I can still feel it. But today I have the day off, and I'm going to try to be useful by sorting through forgotten photos and finalize a few posts that I have been pushing off..

Last weekend my sister visited me here in london, I thought it was quite cool how she wore her sport top under this sheer topshop knit.

Miu Miu Fall/Winter 2011 Ad Campaign

2011-11-24T17:34:00.000-08:00

I wasn't aware that Miu Miu had such a beautiful ad campaign this season. Hailee Steinfeld was photographed by Bruce Weber and she somehow fits really well despite her young age. It seems to become normal to use very young actresses for ad campaigns (think Marc Jacobs). I don't mind as long as the outcome is as pleasing as this one and it's not sexually offensive.

So many textures going on in this editorial, it's great. And it's been a while since I've seen Iekeliene in an editorial that I've loved, so I'm doubly happy with this. I love how beaches never go out of rotation for editorials, it just somehow becomes more normal to wear tights and heels and a huge coat.

newton and my stripes

2011-11-24T10:22:00.000-08:00

Two of my favorite things: Sir Isaac Newton, and one of three striped fisherman sweaters I designed at American Apparel. I can't believe how lucky I am sometimes, I am thankful everyday I am surrounded by the best people and I get to do what I love. People often think success is measured by dollar amounts. Especially within the art/fashion/blog realm I've come across countless people, all the same with interchangeable faces who consider themselves successful because they've been able to fool others into thinking they're 'cool', 'famous', and 'rich'. It's really more about being able to wake up in the morning and look in the mirror and see a person who you truly like and to be honestly excited to be who you are.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Meet Moxham. An über-cool new accessory brand by london based Madeleine Moxham. I promised myself to try some new brands this fall, and I can luckily say that it has been paying off. So much that I can swear on these being my new favorites. But wait there is more... the collection also includes some of the best chokers, necklaces and harnesses I've even seen. I already have the 'anubis' necklace just waiting to make a proper debut..

Check out the brand new website here, I belive the store will be up any time soon!

Finally made it to the East Coast! It's cold and overcast and windy and I'm sitting by the fire listening to the tree branches outside tap against the windows. So so nice, so I'm posting some sweater inspiration.
In other news, when I was at the airport, I saw Amber Rose! She was walking by herself so my sister and I asked for a picture, had to share:

She was actually really nice, and wearing the Jeffrey Campbell Tardy's that I have--except of course in neon.

I have to admit, I am not the biggest Lady Gaga fan. While I can enjoy a round of Bad Romance on the dancefloor, the Lady has definitely reached media oversaturation, giving out a fair amount of inane quotable quotes along the way. Having seen her perform in her early days at one of my parties at Marquee, I can also say that stylewise, she is very much indebted to Nicola Formichetti. Trash talking aside, I do appreciate Formichetti's hand in Stefani Germanotta's remarkable transformation, and while there have definitely been highs and lows, one element that's remained consistently good are Gaga's manicures.

Gaga's nails are the work of New York based nail artist Naomi Yasuda, who has a long list of celebrity fans, but still makes time to do house visits. While Yasuda's rates aren't above the average ones you'll find for a Japanese 3-D manicure, blinging out your nails with bejeweled tips on a weekly basis is financially impossible for most of the ladies I know, myself included. Thankfully, Yasuda has come up with several ways to make her one-of-a-kind nails more accessible to the public with several collaborations. First, she created a series of stone, gem, and chain encrusted press-on nails with artificial nail manufacturer Kiss, selling for $45 a set. Second, Yasuda collaborated with Minx to create 2-D gold and silver graphic nail stickers, which are $35 for a pack. Lastly, for the hardcore nail fanatics, Yasuda created a limited edition of hand-cut and crafted nail sets, which were filed into crazy shapes and loaded with nail charms and stones. Only 30 pairs were made, and each pair costs $225. Of course, all of the nail sets will be available exclusively at the Barney's x Gaga workshop.

that's why i'm extra-excited to be working with them on some upcoming projects ~ kicking off today with a month-long giveaway on their facebook page. CLICK HERE to enter to win any one of the sachin + babi pieces in today's post (blouse, coat or dress ~ winner's choice!). afterwards, CLICK HERE to peep some behind-the-scenes pics from my sachin + babi studio tour ~ then stay tuned for more!! we have some really cool stuff in the works.

I warned you the bag might be popping up in a few future outfit posts, so here it is in action. I wore it with some of my basics and the versace x hm jumper I found at the men's department. The fact that I was a little late on the launch and only found the cardi in a large size, proved to be the reason why I liked it so much. I did also buy the palm printed one but this will pass as a somewhat normal garment and I can see myself wearing it more than twice. It's around the time of the year when a beanie is starting to become acceptable, for me it's a nice alternative to those baseball caps I've been wearing more than a lot..

"The 2012 Collection is a venture through dreamlike landscapes. The inspiration is drawn from mythology and tales, playing with escapist and Romantic fantasies. The collection makes up an odyssey of imagination, mystique and poetry, switching between dreams and reality, thus welcoming Dark Knights, Pale Moons, Magic Hours and Misty Mountains.

Combining fragile and organic structures with an aesthetic influenced by futurism and geometry, the collection sets to blend ancient tales with modern mythologies of sci-fi and their futuristic imagery; invoking concepts like time-travel, parallel universes and space distortion. Through a pale, at times translucent colour palette, natural materials like feathers and horsehair are juxtaposed with iridescent colours, industrial structures and mutated shapes. All pieces are handmade."

WHAT? SO ill.

Warmi Up!

2011-11-22T10:35:00.000-08:00

While surfing the loveliest e-shop on the internet, The Moon and Mars (maybe I'm a bit biased since we sell there), I came across the most amazing new line of fun, colorful and kooky knits, Warmi. Designed by Sylvia Toth in Paris, and then hand knit in the towns of Tausa and Sutatausa in Colombia by artisans, the line combines traditional Latin American textile craftsmanship with Parisian fashion-forwardness. While I love the cartoonish depictions of snakes, birds, and other fuzzy four-legged creatures, I also appreciate Warmi's dedication to the craft of knitting. Each of the Colombian artisans is featured in a small bio on the website, and all of them sign the pieces that they create. Additionally, Warmi encourages people to knit their own pieces, selling kits so you can get started on a leopard-print armband project, and perhaps move on to more complex things from there. Warmi has certainly inspired me to pick up my own set of needles soon--maybe I'll knit up my own phantasmagoric creature to keep me warm this winter.

Everybody Must Get Stoned

2011-11-21T12:24:00.000-08:00

Each season, Iosselliani gets more and more colorful. The original collection started out with intricately constructed noirish pieces encrusted with smatterings of clear and black crystals, and though the collection still presents darker undercurrents, they've infused the jewels with a vibrant jolt for a more gothic meets gypset vibe. Although that might not sound like the most appealing combination (I wonder how often those subcultural sets meet in real life), it somehow manages to work. Semi-precious stones mix with crystals, spikes, and semi-oxidized chain to form the most intricately composed swathes of rock and metal. The true beauty of these pieces is that on first glance, they appear to be more traditional beaded necklaces, but upon closer inspection, reveal claws clutching at pearls, itty-bitty skulls attached to stone settings, and dangling dog's heads. Nonetheless, if wearing color just isn't your thing, most jewels still come in classic black.
