New York, New Shoes...

Martin Margiela, Fiorentini & Baker, Ann D, and Osklen basked in the warm glow of my mushroom lamp.

If I Could, I Would..

What I would be wearing if I didn't have a gimp foot. Summer should be frothy and happy- don't they make you happy? The shoes I found on Ebay at a more than reasonable price..and the dress, I found on second markdown at Anthropologie. It is actually still possible to find some amazing pieces there.

Dress- Tracy Reese

Shoes- Miu Miu

A New Season/Afterthoughts

These were all snapped last minute- I'll try to remember to focus more on taking pictures of what people were wearing/what I had on (which to some resembled "Nana" or "curtains" haha)

An image from Paris Fashion Week that I found on Mr. Newton's blog- an embodiment of spring and youthful vitality.

Shoes I've been living in for the past couple of weeks. L'autre Chose, platform clogs and floral tights from Anthropologie.

Gavin's Chukkas.
Gavin: Gourmets/ On me: Marc Jacobs lace up ankle bootsHere's a quick glimpse of our life the past couple of weeks. Nothing profound, really. Anthropologie store opening, a scattering of art openings, and a blurry shot of a few of my rings- notice my penchant for all things turquoise?Returning to the opening party of Anthropologie. I was surprised how many people turned up and how strict they were about their guest list- luckily I RSVP'd about 6 additional people! The wine and champagne were flowing, store associates were making the rounds with trays of spring rolls and sliders in in hand, and there were tiers of delicious cheeses, nuts, and even prosciutto. Otherwise, it was pretty much what I originally expected: your typical sampling of suburban women and men out to socialize for the evening- I lasted about an hour (thanks to copious amounts of wine..).

Welcome to the Family!

There's something very alluring about these Pierre Hardys... Although they're a little too overtly "sexy" for my taste, but what the hell- I got them for a steal on Yoox and am definitely loving the rich shade of peacock blue and crushed velvet. As Petey pointed out, most of my shoes have a similar aesthetic- rounded toe, chunky heel so it'll be nice to have something different for a change (P.S. Check out the awesome write up she wrote about A Foreign Collective). Yoox is a great place to find designer shoes and clothing and rock-bottom prices. Most of their items are a couple seasons old, but if you have patience and are willing to dig through pages and pages of product, you will most likely walk away with previously unattainable treasures.

Check out some of the other work Pierre Hardy has done:

Now I kind of wish I hadn't taken (or asked Ziggy to take) such a careless photo of my own pair of Pierre Hardys!
