Good afternoon, Monday. Been a busy one. Plus, I've eaten too much chocolate and I'm wired and want to go outside and play. Sigh. What a lovely weekend here in the city- I'd petition for one more day.
But back to it it is so wanted to post some stuff that's on my radar. No big whoop, just some stuff I'm digging and feeling in a very real way. So without further adieu. Here's what I've got my eyes on- collections and otherwise:
Leopard Weejuns from Bass -Ah, the Weejun. I'm loving this look for Fall- think rolled up boyfriend jeans and a white shirt, or a leather wrap mini and turtleneck. Or skinny cropped black pants a la Audrey Hepburn. Genius, fresh take on a classic. Love. Oh and please can I also have the polka dot ones? Love.
The dresses at Dolce & Gabbana for Spring- The gold dresses are to DIE FOR. But then I looked at all those gorgeous black minidresses, the floral printed numbers, the polka dotted pretty girl, and the sexy LBDS (nobody does them better) and I was hooked. For gals who love dresses, this is the collection for you. Gorgeous despite the tax evasion of the designers. Perhaps even more so.
The bucket bag- This shape. My friend Gabi was carrying a vintage bag of this ilk the other night, and it's feeling good to me. Best one is Phillip Lim's Scout, also love Alex Wang's studded bottom version, with Baggu's less break the back option also very yummy. Bonus points if you do the Baggu in neon.
Pants at Ferragamo Spring- I'm digging this full, short silhouette. Looking for this cut to be knocked off everywhere for the Spring. Digging the relaxed vibe.
Loden green- This greyish/greenish mossy tone? All over the runways for Spring at Marni and Jil Sander and shades of it at Missoni. As a rabid fan of green anything, I'm so in. A coat in this color as a preview for Spring? Yes, please. Dark and moody for Spring never felt so good, though I do think some took this too far, like Marc Jacobs for instance. Positively doom and gloomsville. PS this as a nail color? Yup. Want it now. Especially of the Jil Sander variety as seen in the belted dress and bra/skirt thing above.
And that's the radar/gut check thing I've got going on. Hope your Monday is going well and you've got your beautiful peepers on a few things of your own. Cause that's what's up this taking a gander kinda opener of the work week in the NYC. XO
