so i just purchased these sky high nike dunks you can actually slam dunk in.. (they give you height–). they are exactly what look for in a shoe(or wedge.or sneaker) … they are comfortable (yes i always write about and seek comfort), versatile ( in style, color, and season), practical, and easy to run around and work in….oh and at a good price!
i love the look of a sneaker, but at times i find that a wedge or heel is so much more flattering on the legs (particularly when wearing super skinny jeans) this is the perfect solution. this nike sky high sneaker is now staple in my wardrobe. i have been wearing them every day, and i am going to continue to wear them through fashion week…. this pair i got is the nike and liberty collaboration. you can get them here, there are also many other versions. i recommend you get them..just do it. you will be happy you did. xox

the meaning of white something i found on this feng- shui blog that i would like to share with you
- Innocence
- Clarity
- Cleanliness
- Expansive / Open
- Purity
- Spirituality
- Goodness / Hope
- Humility
- Infinity
- Peaceful / Relaxing / Soothing
- Detached (that’s why it is not very often people’s favorite color, life is colorful)
- Sterile
i find color to be a very interesting subject. i enjoy reading about it’s psychological effects and significance in cultures/healing properties/ auras. i find the above list to be quite true in terms of the color white’s effect/ and what it represents. do any of the above register or make sense to you when you look at white?
i remember being the age of 6 and kicking the back seat of my mom’s car and obnoxiously kicking her seat. i was on my way to a birthday party and i vividly remember the opaque white tights and frilly dress and being so upset about the having ugly sneakers on my feet. the sneakers were ruining my pretty dressed up outfit. i thought is was incredibly vulgar and i was in tears. i wanted to wear dress shoes! for some reason my mom made me wear sneakers with the dress… i am not sure why-but i was so upset i still remember looking down at my feet with disgust -SNEAKERS AND A DRESS/ SKIRT—UGLY!!! Today about 22 years later i love the combination. i find it funny ..a lot of the time the things you hate or detese at one point in time you end up loving, and the things you love you end up hating (well sometime’s). 
i am digging the sneaker skirt combo very much… here’s some outfit inspiration. change the look of a skirt by dressing it down with some kicks. i really admire the mix of these two elements. i have even worn them myself, check it out here

guilty of being beyond obsessed with this tee
today’s outfit certainly fits the description ‘casual friday’. i seem to be channeling a bit of a skater style, a laid back california-like vibe (i have been looking at alot of hugh holland‘s pictures of skaters lately..i enjoy them very much–clearly they are influencing my style of dress) i am especially excited to be wearing my new tee !! “celine.. up your bitches”… hmmm..so politically correct. months ago i was obsessed with the “celine” tee’s ( that came in white and black with the name celine across the chest) that were going for about 500 dollars a piece, and sold out straight away . i did not even have time to contemplate purchasing one because they were already gone by the time i reached the store. i went mad calling and researching numbers of every celine store (just about) world wide.. the obsession finally passed -as most do, some take longer to fizz out than others. then one day as i was surfing countless sites dazzled with the fashion imagery that i tend to be looking at- i came across this tee (see below). i was ecstatic to have found a tee that was for sale with the words “celine” on it…not only did it say that lovely name it was at a lovely and much lower price.. i even got a bit of a laugh after reading the words below (celine) “up your bitches”. i proceeded to move my cursor and clicked add to cart and completed my purchase instantly-in this case i am not sure i even thought at all i couldn’t help but buy! ..and here we are today. the tee-shirt is by michael agwunobi, you can find the tee’s here. he also makes a few other versions with my favorite commes des garcons heart accompanied a phrase that is a bit of a mockery as well, but i like a good laugh.
this is an outfit of extreme highs and lows (price points that is). i like mixing cheap, expensive, men’s pieces, women’s, casual and evening, fake and real, funny and sophisticated…all in to one look- i am sure many of you out there enjoy doing the same… dressing should be fun and not something that should be taken sooo seriously… right? ha.. have a lovely weekend! xx

i just got home yesterday from buenos aires. it was summer there, and i am sad to say i am back in the cold winter of the east coast. every time i go away i like to find interesting clothing (as well as absorb the culture and tour the monuments..well not really tour more like look at), and find and if not too expensive purchase special things to take home with me. i also enjoy seeking out new designers and keep a list from each place i go. below are some items from my favorite stores in buenos aires argentina. each time i go to buenos aires i bring back some lingerie, i find that they have the most beautiful delicate girly pieces…. something i have not read about in shopping guides–however, it is my little secret that i am sharing with you… among places to purchase amazing shoes, hats, and clothing as well…
i purchased these delicate underwear with lace details and an applique rose from one of my favorite lingerie and swim wear shops, la brunette.
i also love the lingerie designs of juana de arco, (above) and the store is quite interesting as well. the underwear comes in bright colors and interestingly unique patterns.
this skirt is from another favorite shop of mine in buenos aires, it is called holi I! the clothing is very bohemian, made of beautiful colors and textures. the flowey shapes of the clothing allow you to move freely in warm weather. all the textiles are imported from india and the pieces in the store have a gypsy like vibe, you can even find some great jewelry as well. the items in this shop are very special pieces..you must purchase something from here if you ever find yourself in buenos aires..
this is the window from my favorite vintage shop juan perez, they have everything from dior, chanel, pucci, hermes, to versace as you can see above. As well as an incredible collection of scarves, jeans, bags, jewelry, furs, hats..anything and everything you can imagine…and not as expensive as the vintage stores you find here in nyc…
special pieces you will definitely find here, at gabriella capucci. i bought these two head pieces there. i thought they would be amazing for an editorial shoot. the prices are also extremely low considering how unique and interesting they are. in this shop you can also find books, stationary, tote bags, jewelry, and accents for the home as well . the store is also vibrantly decorated and a must see for those of you out there seeking a bit of inspiration and humor.
chicco ruiz has the most beautiful and unique handmade shoes. laces made of ribbon, and the shoes are a collage of materials perfectly placed together in to a lovely and unique shoe. i really loved the shoes in this shop..however, since most of them are one of a kind it was hard to find those i really loved in my size …i will be going back as soon as i arrive again in buenos aires…
susila tantrik is another wonderful shop to find lingerie. a designer who hand makes and designs all the pieces in her store. mixing sexy with cute in to perfect pieces of feminine lingerie. some are made of sculpted tulle yet, lined in soft fabric for comfort (you can barely tell you are wearing them when they are on). others have subtle feather details, beading, and embroidery. a shop that has not been written about as much as it should… all the beautiful pieces are handmade and priced so well it is unheard of ..nearly all of my lingerie comes from susila..
if you have any questions as to where the shops are please feel free to email me, although the links should give you the information you need. i have missed blogging..and am happy to say i am back. i will see you tomorrow.
xx
