flowers and stripes

Finally a day nice enough to wear my new Bass oxfords. Yes, I got shoes with flowers on them. Yellow ones. I fear it is a slippery slope.

When it’s not slung over my shoulder messenger bag style, I often carry my bag in this strange, inefficient way, bunching up the short strap.

These leggings are a little tighter and a little more high-waisted than anything else I have…but I’m getting into that look. Or, I can get into it, with conditions.

This is the loose, haphazard bun I throw my hair into most days. This hairstyle has the excellent virtue of taking less than a minute to execute.

Oh, this watch is new. From the sleek Danish brand Skagen, known for their extremely thin movements. I love this simple, clean gold design (and a two-toned watch wherein both tones are gold is me all over). It’s settling in nicely.

Bass Thea oxfords, green envelope top, Topshop Baxter leggings, American Apparel braided belt (I have this belt in so many colors), Lucky Brand bag, Ray-Ban aviators, Skagen watch, Scotch & Soda leather wrap bracelet, vintage earrings. On the lips: Maybelline Color Sensational Vivid lipstick in Shocking Coral.

on the balcony

One of the first truly nice days this year. Finally inspired to wear something not entirely unworthy of documentation.

Banana Republic tank, American Apparel bandeau (ruched front has a lumpy effect I realize from the photo…making a mental note), Free People jeans (thrifted), Black Rivet leather jacket, Spektre sunglasses (remember these?). On the lips: Revlon Kissable Balmstain in Lovesick.

Are you loving these sunglasses as much as I am?

Scent of the day: Bulgari Black. So perfect with a leather jacket. Smells like leather and hot tar – great on anyone, as far as my nose is concerned, especially in the summer.

Hope it’s nice where you are.
