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...

outfit no. 5 [ jules ]














Aran and I were talking and I sent her a couple of these photos from yesterday. She said I looked like a futuristic spaceship docking ace [w/ my addition of inappropriate footwear] - PERFECT, exactly the look I was going for!

Not really... but I'm digging the idea of it

This morning was a bit of a rush, as most mornings are, and I just felt like putting on something comfortable since it was going to be filled with excessive walking. Plus, I felt the need to look like a walking traffic cone - not. Well, Aran previously stated that Cali girls have a definite thing for denim, and I second that statement (& for me: as a Texa-Cali girl, it's a birthright). I love denim and I've always loved denim and the collection that I have is disgustingly extensive and quite superfluous. And this love is the reason why I wear my collection of denim cutoff shorts no matter the place or time!

The photographs taken of the inside of the Met and the rooftop of said museum does not do the place justice. If only I could take this museum with me everywhere I go and live... The view from the rooftop is amazing, with the addition of some adult beverages it's a nice place to just relax (which is why I got a little sunburned - & thank goodness I held back on the liquor or I would've just been dehydrated and rot like a tomato in the sun). 
In my opinion, the current outdoor exhibit is even better than last year's. Next time, I will have to be more patient and wait in line for the ticket to go inside of that interactive space bubble. - & mental note: do not wear a skirt

Anyway, I hope you like the photographs of the Met as much as I love the place, and if you'd like to know more information on Cloud City by Tomás Saraceno, the exhibit on the rooftop, just click here.



Oh, and the 'Incroyables' Strawberry flavor at Ladurée was not that incredible just for future reference...
I will stick to my lemons





HAPPY WEEKEND!

outfit no. 2 [ jules ]











Because I hope these posts share some dialog and hold continuity...
Here are some slightly fuzzy snapshots taken after a lovely dinner date on a picture perfect summer night in Manhattan. I thought the outfit tied in with Aran's previous post on an 'I don't care' vibe since it consisted of the basics: white tee, skinny slouch fit denim & a snippet of leather. I threw on some heels (that have been blogged into oblivion elsewhere) and a small fancy-edgy bag to work with a night-time city feel. I took the boyfriend's watch for a spin just for kicks, and we might just have to "share" this one from now on. Please be advised that this combination of an outfit is destined to reappear in some form(s) again; there is nothing more comforting than having a great simple outfit to feel cool & clean. 'ya feel?



And to end on this note:
That piece below is speaking to screaming at me... it's moto/grunge-chic just turned up a notch!
