Bodega Run

After a nearly 4 month hiatus from this blog, I'm back! I didn't mean to step away that long, but hey...shit happens. At any rate, I thought I'd come back with something fresh. Fresh like like picking up a juicy bag of fruit on your way home from work. Such was Opening Ceremony's inspiration for their Pre-Fall '15 collection and it's definitely working for me. I've really been impressed the last several seasons with OC as they get more and more creative with telling a story through prints, pattern, and texture. I kind of want a banana now..

Make yourself at home

Flipping through the September issues of America's celebrity-coated fashion mags often reveals a quite literal regurgitation of the Fall runways. So it was quite refreshing when I saw this brilliant story imagined through the eyes of photographer Boe Marion and stylist Catherine Newell-Hanson. Oversized textured knits, motorcross-inspired pieces and sporty socks all mashed up against the most average of suburbia make for a really exciting vision of the season the leaves turn.

Ca$h Money

I feel like Phillip Lim is on to something with his bags for next season...very tongue in cheek. I appreciate that he doesn't take himself so seriously. Of course, if you're going to spend a lot on a bag, you want it to be "an investment piece". I guess this is kind of poking fun at that in a way?

Criss Cross

I know it seems a bit early to be thinking about fall, but Proenza Schouler just released a preview of their Fall 2014 campaign and my eyes lit right up. Not only is this image gorgeous (must attempt that mermaid cheekbone effect), but those crisscross leather oxfords are A++. You can already nab them if you like! ;)

You're so transparent

How the hell is it June already?? I don't even know what to wear anymore..but that's where having rad accessories on hand comes in. Even if you are wearing the same ol same, you can reach for some stunner piece and feel more put together. That's what I dig about this five-panel transparent hat from Larose. You just can't use it to hide a bad hair day!
