my date with isabel

I stood & touched this number annoyingly long

the wooden beams & planks are an installation throughout the store and you can go inside of the pod

it's heavy and very very cool in real life

the watch & the clutch!!! [also, they add -ghost legs- athletic socks in their sandals]

leather sports shorts [!] - they come in red too

boots... shoes... boots

store windows with spinning mobiles & windmills

Another small tour of the Isabel Marant store down in SoHo. 

Although fashion is in its' transition phase where we're full on in summer and the spring collection is getting a bit redundant and we're on our toes for the fall goodies, I thought you'd appreciate seeing the Manhattan location of this beautiful designer.

The store is located on the corner of Greene & Broome, and it's on the smaller side in square footage but the ceilings are lofty and the place is airy. I loved the wooden installations and mobiles incorporated in the space (especially the pod in the center that houses all the accessories and jewelry), and I snapped a few of my favorite pieces that were left.

Definitely a great place to stop by!

& we wait (pre-order) for theses babies to hit stores & be worn to death in the bloggospehere...

in the nude

 I'm a sucker for sheer fabrics and nude neutrals. 

I don't care what fashion trends may or may not say, I adhere to the nude shoe and nude hues being present in my wardrobe no matter what decade we're in. You can always find a place for it in your outfit whether it's statement, layering or accent - longevity is important, folks. (hence, Ferragamo resort 2013: it sticks)

Plus, a good nude shoe can really do some beneficial optical illusions for your gams which you know, is never ever a bad thing!

*Side note: Natasha Poly in sheers = hello, beautiful!

pants optional

Humidity and trapped heat makes us wish for the option of running around naked. Since running around naked (aka streaking) is most likely to be viewed as socially harmful, the least we could grace you with is a strong top but bottomless option. Who said a pair of pretty panties or bathing suit can't look rad with a solid piece of outerwear? 

- not us - 

A woman's greatest accessory is a great pair of stems, and a good ass attached to said legs is a plus!

new frontier

A little bit of western - native for the soul

Cowboys and Indians: from children's playgrounds to film to fashion. Past-present-future, it never ends and it never should.

Something about the rawness, ass-kicking and out into the endless open way of life is totally dig worthy. Also, take note: the western embroidery and southwestern prints should always be present in one's life. 

p.s. the boots in the shoe collage (photo set 6): want, need, yum
