The Accessory Report

A couple of weeks ago I tagged along to the Pasadena flea market with a girlfriend who is an interior designer. She had her own agenda, but mine was jewelry. In the end, I didn't see much worth a second look-but I did score this super old necklace. I know it's as old as the sales guy cited because the 'pearls' are wearing down. Ultimately, I could easily re-string that black and crystal flower brooch.

I also finally received the bracelet/ring I'd commissioned from Jessica Johnson at the Red Panda store via Etsy. I LOVE it. I think I'm going to have the length of the connective chainmail strap shortened a bit, but other than that it's completely awesome and I can't wait to wear it. Jessica was completely awesome to work with as well, so check her out and make sure she knows I sent you.

Ebay Time: The Trenches Edition

Good news! I'm cleaning out the trenches that are my closet-many of the things for sale are YEARS old but there's also some new. You should see the Bergdorf tag on that red Shoshanna dress, it looks old as helllll. Most of this stuff tends not to be my style, it's been sitting untouched for farrr too long. Anyway, enjoy-and in turn, hopefully my closet will soon be able to hold the rest of my clothing...which my live-in boyfriend will surely appreciate.

LD Tuttle Spectre Boots. Still.

And it folds over into that magnificent thing. I've written about these before...maybe twice before...but c'mon, I knew I needed these for a reason. This is the first I've seen of them folded and I'm falling in love all over again.

Check the brand out, while most aren't really my style, these 'Shifter Wood Boots' are pretty awesome:

Monochromatic Layering

I wish my brain functioned in such a way that layering on this level occurred to me. This is completely gorgeous:

Not-So-Basic Black

As much as jumpsuits have been prevalent recently there've only been a couple that I've actually wanted-the above by Vanessa Bruno being a hands-down favorite. How amazing!? I'm truly obsessed. The jumpsuit dress by Rosa Cha is unique in it's own right, and the Madison Marcus top, well-it's simply versatile.

Summer Has Officially Taken Over LA...

But I'm still lusting after a lot of dark, edgy pieces that don't really mesh with the weather and sunshine...luckily they're still more than hot and appropriate for night time.

Inspired Bags

Bag #1, the Gucci I'm madly in love with:


Bags #2 & #3, Foley + Corinna and Jerome Dreyfuss- both via Shopbop.com


They're no Gucci, but I do like them.

Inspiration: Reconstruction

This jacket by Meadham Kirchhoff by way of Farfetch.com sets my brain cells ablaze. My reincarnated jacket wouldn't look exactly like this, but it's a great point of reference and inspiration.

Sweet & Simultaneously Sexy

You don't see that balance very often, the cut gives an otherwise saccharine print a major edge.

Ofcourse This Is Sold Out

I'd totally wear this with something nude underneath.

Heat & Jersey

Blame the recent onslaught of summer heat, but my brain seems to have dropped anchor in the land of comfy knits. All I know is it was 88 degrees yesterday, and all I wanted was jersey. That and the weather now necessitates flip flops. I hate flip flops and moreover most flat shoes, but have yet to have found an acceptable substitute. I need some seriously walkable, daytime heels and asap!

I'm loving these pieces by the brand SOSUME - and those torn up jeans are going to inspire the demolition of some of my own.

A Modeling Career Propelled?

Months ago, a net-search for The City's Allie Crandell yielded very few results. Now, she's popping up all over the place - the most recent thing I've come across being Revolve Clothing's website. Despite her often whiny persona on the show, I love her look-so this excites me. Plus, skip on over to the site and just look at the difference between Allie's shots and those of the other models they employ, she's seemingly got a lot more fire and versatility. I've worked with one of their models on a lookbook shoot and she very mechanically cycled through the same 4 poses allllll day loooong. Anyway, looking forward to seeing more of Allie. As I'd mentioned in a past post about her, she's a little on the short side of the modeling spectrum - but we've also got people like Tyra about to hit with a season of Top Model specifically for shorter women...maybe there's room for a new, shorter Kate Moss style model in our future (not that she'll come out of Top Model fame).

Loving: Aging Gracefully - Or Just Really Well Distressed

I'm loving the gorgeous stuff as seen below by the company BERYLL. The treatments on the brown leather make it soooo rich. I don't know what else to say, I simply love it.
