NOT by Jenny Lai – what I’m wearing now
What I’m wearing here is from the label NOT by Jenny Lai –one of my favorite new designers that’s featured in UP|coming. The striped pieces are hers and the black top and pants are Diana Orving and Club Monaco respectively. Her work is strong in both concept and the functionality of the design. What I love about the NOT Fall 2012 collection is the versatility of how you can wear the pieces. This is only one top but there is actually more than one place you can put your head through and create a different look. In the lookbook it says “Autumn/Winter ’12 is an unwelcoming garment.
A garment without blatant entrance.
A closed form.The overlapping pillowcase is closed in its natural state.
The opening an over-compensated closure
A body manipulates its way into its embrace.”

ASOS jacket, CHRISHABANA, Underground Original flatforms & Warby Parker…what I’m wearing now
Sometimes it’s all about the accessories. Here I’m wearing the Spencer polarized sunglasses with slightly mirrored lenses by Warby Parker. I ordered them at their showroom and they’re not on the website yet. (and yes there IS such a thing as slightly mirrored –you have to see them to see what I’m talking about) I’m a big fan of Warby Parker because all their lenses are polarized which makes them much sharper than normal lenses and I personally don’t understand why it’s so damn hard to find fashionable polarized lenses. Also because they donate a pair to someone in need for every pair purchased which is pretty rad. The necklace is a from CHRISHABANA and I am loving the bright neon colors…and how well it goes with my new Underground Original suede flatforms in an acid green color. And I finally found a relatively cheap and cute leather jacket for summer evenings from ASOS. All this was worn with a white tank and denim shorts.

SUNO sundress and Nine West sandals – what i’m wearing now
White lace and girlie dresses are big this spring. I don’t normally go for little white dresses but I kind of fell in love with this lace embroidery dress by SUNO by Max Osterweis & Erin Beatty –current CFDA nominees for the Swarovski Award for Womenswear! I paired it here with white sandals with chunky cork heels from Nine West and striped socks for a little insouciance and color. Also wearing my grandmother’s turquoise stone necklace and Dior sunglasses that are re-issues of a design they did in the ’60s. The flowers are because…I like flowers!
Alexander Wang dress / Preen Jacket / Chrishabana Jewelry / Brahmin bag = what I’m wearing now
I was so inspired by this iconic Chrishabana necklace that I decided to make it the basis of a little animation for this post! I’m wearing it with a very short Alexander Wang dress, Preen leather jacket and my standard Seven for all Mankind platform sandals. And I’m wearing my Brahmin Jolie Clutch that I helped design! Close up of rings and bag below.
Rings are from Bond Hardware, Efva Attling, Chrishabana and a thrift store find. Bracelets are Chrishabana.

Faux fur vest and rings & things -what i’m wearing now
I’ve never been a fan of faux fur (leopard the exception) but last fall picked this vest up. Yes it’s faux, but it’s fun and I can wear it around my dog without pangs of guilt! Since it’s a little dramatic I tend to keep everything else simple.
…and keeping it simple allows me to add more accessories. From the left I’m wearing a “bone” bracelet by Iosselliani, ring by Bond Hardware, skull ring by Made Her Think, rings by Bond Hardware, big ring –i don’t know, Sans Peur ring by Efva Attling, silver wire bracelet by some guy on the street. Necklace by Sorrelli + extra chains added in by me.

Daryl K – what i’m wearing now
I don’t think of myself as much of a “dress girl” –especially in colder months. But this dress by Daryl K has become part of my unofficial uniform. I love the cut, and what’s amazing about it is that there are no zippers, buttons etc. but it’s not made out of super stretchy material either. It simply fits perfectly and has a small leather band in the middle that has a tailoring effect. I’m wearing it here with a million metal chain necklaces (slight exaggeration) and platform sandals.
Damir Doma for a grey day
A while back I mentioned wanting to steal the style of one of my favorite musical groups, The Black Soft. Consider this look as being inspired by them! Having been disappointed recently at my options for simple tops for women I decided to look at some men’s clothing lines and have not been disappointed. This tunic/top is from the Damir Doma men’s collection. While they sell women’s clothing as well, I really responded to the cut and drape of this top and for me the versatility. It can work with leggings now or like a dress in the summer. Also wearing my Linda Farrow x Dries Van Noten sunglasses which really have become part of my winter uniform and work so well with the blue in my hair. (and a shout out to Shannon at Pimps & Pinups who is responsible for adding this color in my life. She is seriously the best!)

My favorite DVF jacket & Badgley Mischka clutch
This jacket has definitely become my “go-to” for events that cross between casual and dressy. Yes, it’s been on here before but I never get tired of it and hopefully it will never seem out of fashion. The clutch is another story: an early holiday present I love the hard case and the zebra print. See close up below!
(just ignore the highly questionable manicure by moi!)

On my way out in Giuseppe Zanotti shoes
Can I tell you how obsessed I am with these platforms? Yes they are insanely high/Lady Gaga worthy/impractical. But sometimes life calls for a little madcap adventure…and we really ought to dress the part!
And an Alexander McQueen clutch is the only bag I have that can compete with the shoes.A simple black velvet coat over a little black dress completes the look…

Comme des Garcons + Alexander McQueen = what I’m wearing now
What the hell am I going to wear to holiday events?
Maybe this dress by Comme des Garcons that was constructed with extremely faux fur that looks like a worn out stuffed animal… Such decisions can drive a person mad…
Even though my dog Nasdaq was convinced that his Tiger was used in this dress here is proof that Tiger is “alive” and well…shoes by Alexander McQueen…
