the freezing warm

Ice Cold Pink makes the ideal Summer shade for leather, suede and lightweight wovens. Using this colorful update on heavier garments makes them virtually seasonless - which is what everyone is looking for in their clothing these days.

How will you keep your precious locks out of your face during the humid summer months?  
Obviously with the edgy yet cool spiked headband.  

Featuring a mix of leather, elastics and metallic spiked studs, this headband gives off an 'oh yes, I went there..' vibe, while still remaining chic when paired with more ladylike attire.

what's that?

A week without popping into the blogosphere?

Shocked?  Well I am too. But when you're juggling finals exams, school projects, an internship and a 'big move' - you've got to put something on hold.


So a quick catch-up on all of the good things I've been up to lately.
[in bullet format to make this easier on all of us]

+A visit to the Met for a much enjoyed Andrew Bolton lecture and viewing of the Schiaparelli & Prada - Impossible Conversations exhibit.  Learned a lot, loved a lot. Did I mention my friend and I got snapped by Bill Cunningham? Still pinching myself over that one.

+Aced my final exams and projects. Round of applause, please.

+Moved to a slightly more spacious dorm room.  It will be the place I call home until I graduate next May.

+Slowly becoming accustomed to life without school.  I'd say it's well deserved.




Well there you go.  You should feel like you know me, once again.

cover up, cover what?

The perfect swim cover up? I think yes..

I LOVE YOU MR. WANG

trending | white heels

Edgy footwear takes on a lighter look for Summer with a playful, chunky heel and rosegold hardware.  Blocked heels along with more interesting shapes mix with platforms and straps for a modern and cool shoe.  The best part is? A white heel is extremely versatile with the capabilities of being chic and dressy or downtown and casual. Amplify the look with additional white accessories, but remember - no white after Labor Day! [Just kidding..]

rock steady baby

The Rockabilly Look gets updated for Spring and Summer with cropped floral denim, lucite sunnies and colored leather ankle boots.  Meanwhile highwaisted shorties, polkadots and studs remain staples.  Keep the iconic look with bright lips and a twisted fauxhawk hairdo refrencing styles from the 50s.
