.. of Shopping


Just saw this lovely on Stockholm Streetstyle and what struck me was the shape of her heel because I just saw something similar at Nine West yesterday...




Do you see how the heel starts out slightly thinner are the top and widens toward the bottom? It gives off a feeling of 50's sophistication without being too obvious. It also keeps a sturdy heel from looking too clunky and distracting from a more feminine outfit like a pencil skirt and prim sweater. Pair it with some "new arrivals from J.Crew"... one of my favorite statements in all the world.

.. of Style Inspiration

September's inspiration was all about the transition jacket. Autumn is a lot like a blind date. You can never really tell what it's going to be like or how long it's going to last. The transition coat is key for unpredictable weather in all shapes and sizes. For example... say you were to have a hurricane and a nor'easter in the same week... for example. Some talking points...

1. The Leather Bomber (keeps out wind and rain)




2. The Lightweight Blazer (acts as a cardigan)



 

3. The Coatigan (heavier and warmer coat/cardigan)

Still not advocating wire hangers but the black, metal rack appeals to me.


See?


And again.
