Like the boys

Comme des garçons indeed. Not the label but the idea... these are a few looks from menswear week that i wouldn't mind stealing for myself.

Smoosh

How happy would I be if this were my hair color?



Very.

Nike Studio

at the new Nike flagship store on Mercer.
How fun would it be (for me!) if this was my studio? ;)

Visionary

I am forced - I have no choice but to copy Cecilia Dean, editor of V magazine and co-founder of Visionaire. These hair pom-poms are too adorable. I'll let you know how it goes.

More leather

Continuing on with my love of all things simplistically leather - Made by Eugene is extremely enviable. Yes covetable too but the I envy that he made these first! ;)

Flower girl

Junko Shimada is someone who speaks to the girl in me who loves to prance about in costumes. As a child I loved putting on my sister's ballet recital costumes and run around the house. If I owned a pair of these wicked wicker platforms I would be running around my apartment in them for sho.

Gray day

It's ridiculously hot and sunny outside in nyc.
Like most ny'ers half my wardrobe is black and I can't even bear to LOOK at that portion of my closet.

Can I compromise and wear grey? These pretty little things have been tickling my credit card finger all month! Fortunately, I couldn't bear to pay these prices so my bank account stay unperturbed.

Crafty family

Oh my mom is so cute. I told her about my super-love of the Lanvin Papillote and she went ahead and made me one! My dad even painted the picture! Here's her first version. (She may go on to make two more, for herself and my sis!)

Ok ok

Things are looking up. T-shirts are coming back into my life full force.
After I saw all of these on Creatures of Comfort it took all my power not to whip out the iamyourmastercard.

Fighting impulses

to use my tax check to get this jacket!



This awesome jacket is from Impulse Seattle (click on pic), made by Martin Margiela, who rocks.

Another summer option

I love the black and white type. Add to cart it is indeed!



from La Garçonne.

Edit, full disclosure:
What I truly adore is this Lanvin Papillote shopper. Not only expensive but unnecessarily so - I definitely will only be admiring from afar. The La Garçonne tote was a great way to reduce raging desires. :P



I'm sure I'll be seeing terrible knock-offs any day now.

Still on the brain

I'm still thinking about bags like the Martin Margiela one below.
Bags like this are ubiquitous in many other parts of the world and they are quite charming to me... I'm pretty intimidated by the bin of leather pieces sitting in my house. I have most of the tools but I really fear that my attempts to work with the leather will border on arts and crafts - in a bad way. maybe this weekend will be the day I finally tackle that bin o' leather.

rock the bank

OOOOHhhhh i want to i really do. But at $270 a pop? i don't know...
edit: jimmyjam alerted me to the fact that perhaps they are cheaper elsewhere. i indeed found them for $113ish on various sites.
thanks!

totes!

You know how it is, you carry around your favorite leather bag all winter then all of a sudden the weather gets warmer and it seems so bulky and the thought of carrying it around makes you sweaty. Just me?

Well as if you needed an excuse, here are a few that caught my eye.

Not an object

If money were not an object.
