A place where being in love with love, clothes, dreaming & globe wandering, are realized.
Where art, style, creative writing combine, to fashion a dreamily romantic display of curated look-books.
I’m a person that likes love, I don’t mind it, I think it can even be nice at times, but Valentines Day, what even is that? It’s just a weird stupid holiday, I don’t know what else to say. It reminds me a lot of this song. Bad.Uncomfortable.Blond.Purposeless.

I’m not mad, as a matter of fact I'm excited about the collaboration available around the first of April. Riccardo Tisci is a huge shoe enthusiast, and admitted to Vogue Paris that he personally owns over 100 pairs of sneaks. I first wanted to reject the collection, for the simple fact since Kayne put on his first custom Givenchy sweatshirt, the fad has taken off in full swing, but it’s hard to deny these shoes. Tisci took the classic Air Force 1, and based his four custom designs on this Nike iconic classic. The Shoes are colorful, futuristic, and a must have next season, that’s if you can get any. My advice, hit up that person you went to high school with that still works in a sneaker store, knowing someone will be the only way to get your hands on a pair of these babies.
So I must admit I’m in the midst of a minor obsession with Alexa Chung. I'm Probably late on the uptake,seeing as she’s been featured everywhere for years now, but I had always labeled her as annoying, UNTIL, I got her recent book IT. It’s witty, chic, and filled with amazing film images, taken by Alexa. I really like when you can get a feel for a persons esthetic through their work, her book does exactly that. From the perfect cat eye, to her almost flawless execution of tomboy meets 12-year-old girl ensembles, it stays true to a very specific style that has made her so coveted. Chung spoke to Vogue.com about the launch of her own brand, another exciting thing coming in 2014. It will be interesting to see how the star translates to a wider audience in the commercial fashion arena. For now however, getting a piece of Alexa Chung’s fashion can be done by snagging something from her makeup collaboration with the London brand Eyeko.

I offered my landlord one of my limbs this month instead of paying rent. It’s Tuesday now, I still have my left leg, but my bank account is suffering a tad as I do live alone in Chelsea. This month has been a month of realizations. I believe this started on New Year’s Eve. I was with a fellow fashion friend in the East Village, wearing a vintage chinchilla fur, a silver Dolce & Gabanna slip, not slip-dress, slip, and platform red polka dot Miu Miu pumps. My friend asked if I got dressed channeling Kate Moss, but what she really meant, and we both knew, was that I was barely clothed and looked like a baby prostitute. As we sipped our Manhattans, a random man passed by exuberantly and held his glass to mine provoking cheers! As our glasses clinked I whispered in her ear, “ I have no fu@*ing clue that that was.” The night progressed, and so did this bizarre phenomenon of people coming up and pretending like we knew each other. It was then I had my first realization. I’m a girl that likes to wear a slip, not a dress. I like decadent furniture, and wallpaper with Kate Moss’s tits on it in my dining room. I like dead animal skulls; I display animal skulls on my mantel, just cause! Crystals, tulle, and glitter are almost orgasmic words, not to mention a probably unhealthy obsession with anything shiny or that reads; shoe department. It was in this moment, she and I both realized, that fantasy life is real, for someone, and I was already half way there with my clan of fake glass clinking friends, my Pretty Woman outfit, and a beautiful man by my side. It’s attainable.
Fast-forwarding to the next day.
My silver slip dangled on a dining room chair, streaks of red wine splattered down the back and my crystal earrings hung precariously out of my platinum Wang clutch somewhere on the counter. My boyfriend and houseguest were discussing how just because I enjoy a nice bottle of wine, alone, from time to time, does not mean I’m an alcoholic. He was convinced that my bi-weekly solo drinking dance parties were a cry for help. In reality, I have more fun dancing at home to the Ciara he won’t blast in the clubs as a DJ. Regardless, as I laid incapacitated and hung over on New Year’s Day, my fabulous fantasies of hosting candlelit dinner parties, in an eccentrically decorated dream pad seemed lives away. All of the previous night’s realizations were now scattered memories between catnaps and whole roasted chicken snacks in bed.It took about a week for my brain to fully recover, so I made it a habit to just text pictures to people instead of words.
The first text was this picture of the new men’s wear McQueen to my friend. The conversation went a little something like this:
Me: (just that picture) that is all.
Her: I knooooooooowwwww, I’m still not over the spring stained glass collection.
Me: I’m not over his death. We will have a remembering McQueen night; lots of wine, even more tears.
Her: I will never be over his death. Like every other day I think about how much I miss him. I will bring all the books to our night.
Me: Over and out.
In the new year, if you see a girl wandering in the West Village in something,“ Kate” inspired, looking a tad dazed and confused, with what promises to be a fashion magazine in one hand, and a camera in the other, its probably me, on a grander mission to be a little more in touch with reality in 2014. xxx
The debate defiantly continues when it comes to the phenomenon of paring your favorite socks, with your most coveted kicks. It's a risky business, as it can go completely and totally wrong, and put you on any worst dressed list. I can almost hear Joan Rivers now saying some vulgar comment. However, like the image above, done correctly, socks and heels can be uber flattering, and give you even more fashion street cred if executed properly. I'm totally for the trend! Try switching it up this month as fashion week approches, and get some fun socks and kitten heels! JCrew.com is a great place to shop for simple basics like this! xxx

I think that men and woman both look their sexiest in a simple white tee, and the perfect pair of jeans. However, I get the same classic chic sexy vibe from what we are seeing this season with the winter white trend. In terms of investing, whites are something that seamlessly carry through the seasons and can easily be matched and blended into an already full closet. Keep it classic and clean and ride the white wave. xxx
