dessert or disaster...

Every fall, I become obsessed with finding the perfect ankle boot. Being 5'2, it's hard to find an ankle boot that doesn't bring me into stumpy territory. This season's platform booties are just dee-lish and give the perfect amount of added height to make up the difference. Just watch out for cracks in the sidewalk...

quintessential fall 2009

Yes, it is mid-July.

Hello. That means it's time to start thinking fall/winter! Chloe Sevigny recently did an amazing spread in Elle magazine. This photo embodies my quintessential fall look: leather, tight tweed pencil skirt, blazer, sheer tights, sexed up booties.

Not so mellow...

Worst blogger ever. Yadda yadda. No excuses. Just laziness and work overload.

I unabashedly love color. Yellow being my most favoritest. When I saw this yellow side zip skirt at H&M, my eyeballs almost fell out of my head. After smooshing my eyes back into their sockets I bought it. Usually I will do a blinding mix of yellow with more color but I am trying to be more subdued (if you can be subdued while wearing a bright yellow skirt). I'm wearing it with my new Aldo wedges (lace up sandals: CHECK!) and the gray leather jacket (CHECK!) that I bought at Zara when I was in Toronto.
