cloisters

[I almost forgot these photos!]

Dreaming of better days and time spent at the Met and the Cloisters.

Notice the absence of my belt after a few snapshots... I obviously have a short attention span to keeping my clothes put together.

WHY is it 90+ degrees here in California? I thought it was October... ten days from today a year ago, we had a surprise snow storm in NY. Now I'm here on the west melting.

Not good for Mother Earth

* btw: I highly recommend visiting the Cloisters up in the Bronx. You forget that Manhattan exists around it! + it's free with your met ticket/button

outfit no. 8 [ jules ]

Because I previously posted about menswear details...

I thought I'd show a nice mix-up of when girls wear boys clothes. & there should be NO boundaries!

Here's an outfit from several days ago while passing through the Comme des Garçons store on 24th St. and Chelsea Piers before eating dinner on the Hudson at the Frying Pan. 

Being from Cali, I love skate culture and couldn't resist taking some snapshots of the action at the skate park. I equally love and embrace the wear and use of men's clothing for women. I don't adhere to sizing charts or gender when I shop, and this is proof that something bought from a men's store can without a doubt be worn on a girl's body. I LOVE the suspenders on the flannel shirt and I plan to DIY this to some of my old oversized oxford shirts and/or dresses!!!

Worn with a black denim skirt and some leather boots for an easy and simple feel; it was great for walking around and taking photographs on the ol' manual. 

paint it on

A good dose of painted skin should give anyone a rainy Monday pick-me-up. It is pouring here in New York, and second skin in painted form is always an excellent source of visual confection. 

Enjoy your Monday, everyone!
