1. Theyskens' Theory high-rise/ low-rise denim
2. Patrik Ervell custom Red Wing shoes with lucite wedge and this overall look

Just a few things that stood out to me this season. Clever + cool.

In other news, MARC JACOBS ordered my book. I will be stocked in his bookstore, Bookmarc starting in March! Exciting, yeah?

Reflection

Oh, how I've missed you..

Chicago, IL

American Apparel crop top, thrifted skirt, H&M Conscious Collection denim jacket courtesy of H&M, Acne "Raya" shoes

We found this empty baseball field while wandering around the hills of San Francisco.

I got this jacket as part of the H&M Conscious Collection which came out in May. I've worn it so much it's still a bit dirty around the edges. They were so gracious to send me to Coachella, dress me in head-to-toe H&M, and provide me with my very own driver, Moe. I'll never forget it.

This weekend, I saw the movie Drive. Basically, I will watch anything with Ryan Gosling in it. But the soundtrack is also excellent (in case anyone was looking for something to listen to). I sort of feel like a heroine in some nineties movie about high school in these pictures. WHY DIDN'T YOU WRITE ME RYAN?

Atuzarra SS12 via Interview

Maybe it's the fact that I spent my entire high school days working at a florist and greenhouse and still have fond memories of this Balenciaga 03 collection in my mind that made me love this collection so much.

To be honest, I never paid much attention to Altuzarra. Clothes catered to the young socialite set. So boring, you know? But like one review said, "... with this collection there's a depth and complexity to the clothes to match." Here here. And the turtleneck cropped tops aren't bad either.
