Pale Evening

Lazy day. After working all day it's so right to lounge around in a mess of unstructured jersey.







Sweater: Gap Body; Leggings: Target; Necklaces: Chanel & vintage horn; Heels: Penny loves Kenny (via TJ Maxx)

These leggings are... ridiculous. And the shoes... ridiculous. I feel vaguely arachnid in these towering gladiator wedges, but they are the most comfortable shoes I have, and being over 6 feet tall gives me a total power trip.



Today I'm lurking: Givenchy SS10 RTW
Just to preemptively clarify, the overly tumid draped pieces and kkk-esque cone hats were disgusting... but I adore the chic 90s vibe from everything else. The compact draped frocks = win. Riccardo Tisci's referencing of the kaffiyeh scarf was a lot better than it sounds. The print was skewed enough to be a peripheral idea, more than a gaudy splash over the garments. The vibe is totally "goddess 90s witch doctor" but it totally works. What I really liked best about the collection in general, was the way it so completely embodied the strength, masculinity, and quiet sensuality of fall style... without covering every single piece in studs and leather, or ripping off Balmain.





(shout out to Vena Cava SS10! So bad ass.)

Oh & p.s.

I ordered a new camera today! After much consultation from my best friend (who knows far more about cameras than I) we chose the Nikon D40. So excitedddd!
