new arrivals

Even though the weather is hotter than ever, I can't help but get excited for fall layers.  J.Crew has been tempting me with their fall arrivals for weeks, and now that they accept Paypal it's impossible to resist that checkout button.  And with Zara's online store launching on the 7th, I really need the weather to start coordinating with store distribution cycles.

Over the weekend I gifted myself these Rachel Comey Chadwick sandals as an early 1st day of work present. I don't officially start until today, but I'm not good at waiting.

The splurge was well worth it. The stacked wooden heel is the perfect height for a daytime look, while the soft marbleized leather adds a subtle touch of pattern. These sandals are now glued to my feet.

parking lots & skyscrapers

Just another windy day in SF. I really wish the weather would just make up it's mind already.
Cold or hot? Pick one and stick to it.
Trying to rework things already in my closet and refrain from shopping.
I figure that if I go deep enough inside my closet I will eventually find something "new".

Anyone actually been able to stick it out through one of the those shopping rehab bits?

P.S. Did you notice I match the background?
I really can't help but be inspired by even the most mundane things, like parking lots and skyscrapers.

crazy pants

Finding this metallic sweater at H&M was like a dream come true. Cozy, oversized, asymmetrical and metallic? Perfection. I love finding those pieces you instantly know you're going to wear forever.

Style philosophy: Buy what you'll wear forever.

the art of shoe shopping

I've been stalking this particular pair of Loeffler Randalls Mabels for a while now. I finally found them the other morning in something relatively close to my size and on sale at Revolve. After a mini heart attack I whipped out my card to BUY! BUY! BUY! Never has a purchase been more satisfying. That is until another pair of diligently stalked Loeffler Randalls popped up on sale at Endless. Serious fulfilment. Ultimate. Shoe. Fulfilment.

We snapped these pics in the morning before I went to work. My computer bag (not pictured, known as the beast) weighs at least 20 pounds on a good day, so it's nice when Sam walks me to work and carries the beast for me. Even better when he's awake enough to take pictures.
