Who needs Chanel?

It's probably sacrilegious for me to write this, but who needs Chanel when Alexander Wang gives us such a modern update of the classic blazer?

Hot Off the Runway

I'm loving the outfits featured in the Miu Miu ad campaign. These two are very similar, but I think the one with the fuchsia detailing at the bust is a dress whereas the one with Laetitia Casta sitting in a chair is a top & skirt ensemble.

Well Heeled

The end of summer means it's time to break out the boots. While these may not be practical for snow, they're hot enough for fall.

Ladylike Charm

It's still nice and warm out, but I'm already searching for the perfect winter coat. This cream beauty offers beautiful lines and subtle details that make it sophisticated and chic without trying too hard.







Marc by Marc Jacobs at ShopBop.com.

Pocketed

These pockets aren't practical for more than an ID card and some gloss, but when you look this good that's all you need.

Bigger IS better.

This amazing sterling silver ring is dipped in platinum and topped with a freshwater pearl.

Motor On

It's been ages since I've posted due to a move to NYC, flying home for a wedding, and life in general. I couldn't resist posting this moto jacket by Masayuki Marukawa though.

Red Riding Hood

Who's afraid of the Big Bad Wolf?

Go green!

How perfect for spring!

Let it all hang out.

Why not, when they look this good?

Time to Shine

Embrace the metallic trend with these perfect Miu Miu pumps from Net-a-Porter.


And speaking of shiny things... silver sequined glitter shorts!


These are by Peter Jensen and were available at Creatures of Comfort. Apparently, Chanel and Y & Kei also did sequined shorts:



Better get that tan in a can ready.

What you need is a good romp(er).

How cute is this?


Basic Boutique is abound with goodies:

Thai Me Up!

I dig the talent coming from Thailand these days.

Here Comes the Sun

Twelfth Street at Basic Boutique.

Down Low

Not sure if I'd do such a low rise, but these are hot enough for me to reconsider.

Light Sprinkle

It's time for spring already!



Twinkle by Wenlan at Basic Boutique.

If the shoe fits...

Reminiscent of Christian Louboutin, no?

But it's Jill Stuart at ShopBop.

Eat your heart out, Dorothy.

Twinkle toes!



Miu Miu at Net-a-Porter.

Full Bloom

Great statement piece:

All the Frills

Nothing like a feminine dress in a fun print to chase away the winter blues:

In the Nude

Beautiful, and just revealing enough:



Available at Active Endeavors.

Job Perks

My posts have been few and far in between lately due to new commitments. I am now juggling a full course load with two internships, but there are advantages to the arrangement. For one, I am constantly surrounded by beautiful clothes like this Wang Wei coat:






I'll try to post more beautiful things soon.

Getting Graphic

Vena Cava is back this spring with the same feminine silhouette we've come to expect, and in a lighter print.

Natural Wonder

Botany meets metal smithing:

I'm a Wang-ker

My love of Alexander Wang continues unabated. Who can blame me?




Alexander Wang for stores.

The Long and Short of It

Here in my chilly new home, I met the cutest girl you ever did see and she had the cutest black cape-like coat to go with her cute everything. I came across something similar and had to share it:




Now, if I can convince her to model for me I'll take a picture of her cute little coat, but for now be content with this Twinkle by Wenlan version at Basic Boutique.

On the Go

The Junkie is packing up and moving to a whole new city in the coming weeks. I'd rather not fill up space with sub par, half-hearted finds, so bear with me while I get settled. I'll return to regular blogging when the dust settles.

In the meantime, amuse yourselves with the latest Maloles collection at La Garconne.

Birds of a Feather

Remember ID bracelets? My sister had one in high school and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world. Her bracelet's long gone, but this is what I imagine an updated version for 2007 ought to look like.
