I was too lazy/busy to go to any NYFW shows this time, but luckily I have some fabulous friends I can always trust to give me the scoop. Thanks Emma & Starre for great coverage of the Organic by John Patrick show.
Love the yellow coat, the chunky hand knit sweaters and the African-inspired beaded belts.
Very excited to hear that John Patrick used Sourcemap to show where his materials come from. Would love to see more designers do this — transparency is the future!
Getting dressed (and putting on makeup) for dinner is kind of weird when you don’t have access to mirrors (besides warped and rusty rearview ones)—and haven’t seen yourself in a one for days. I had M take these photos so I could see how I actually looked.
Ultimately I decided against the furry vest and headband since Haleiwa is a verrry laid-back surf town, but the crochet dress stayed on, and was accompanied by a crochet sweater as well. I got these shell earrings as part of my end-of-schoolyear outfit when I was ten years old (they went with a red flowery dress), I still wear them often and bring them every time I go somewhere tropical.
/// crochet dress, Patrick Robinson for Target (5-6 yrs old) / faux fur vest, Marshalls / vintage Frye boots, Beacon’s Closet / headband, belt from a tunic dress / mini leather bag, mom’s / earrings, bought when I was 10 yrs old / bracelets & rings from all over ///
This is what I want to look like this spring. The lookbook is from LF Stores, but I’m thinking these looks can probably be recreated pretty easily with what’s in our wardrobes already. Don’t ya think?
At an opening at MoMA last night. I just had to snap a photo in this red cabaret-ish spotlight on one of the walls. How could I resist?
Wish I would have worn a sailor cap, or a bowler hat and cane to match…
I love the way the sun hits a raindrop-splattered window right after it’s cleared—it’s rainshine—how the golden light hits a white wall and how beautiful a simple piece of chocolate can be in the light of dusk.
