Punk'd Out


I made it to the Punk: Chaos to Couture exhibit at The Met this past weekend, and you guys it's too cool. You must go! Seeing those incredible pieces of fashion history in person was inspiring and the presentation / vibe was great. Even my guy who I dragged along enjoyed it. Oh and I went a bit fan-girl and bought this barbed wire tee (it was my favorite - wearable - piece from the exhibit sponsor, Moda Operandi's punk shop). 

It was the perfect way to spend a rainy afternoon... and on our way home we walked past the Bergdorf punk windows which look awesome. You should go see those after the exhibit too!


As punk as I get...

A little inspiration for how to incorporate safety pins and edgy details into your wardrobe this fall... (that red leather Isabel Marant dress is my dream!).

And thanks to the sweet Polyvore and Moda Operandi teams who gave me this punk exhibit coffee table book and temporary tattoos, which will be fun to make use of!

Weekend Neutrals


Rachel Zoe Bag.  Zara Heels.  Celine Sunglasses.

Life has been a bit busier these days so I'm especially happy when Friday rolls around. How about you?! Here's a little weekend (neutral)-style inspiration. I lived in this comfy Margaret O'Leary scoop sweater last weekend. It's the perfect mix of casual yet cool and a great loose knit for this transitional spring weather.

Consignment Find...


Rag & Bone Jeans and Tee.  Zara Heels.   Celine Purse.

This past Sunday I stumbled upon a small consignment store in my neighborhood (Second Time Around) where I scored this super cool Phillip Lim leather jacket. New York vintage and consignment shops seem rather overpriced to me so I was pleasantly surprised to find it at such a reasonable price point. I used to have my favorite go-consignment shop in San Francisco (Cris) and yet after almost a year in New York I have yet to find a favorite spot here. Any recommendations?? Like most consignment / vintage shops it's best to go frequently so I'll have to start popping into STA regularly before I actually report back if it's a favorite spot or not. Stay tuned!


I'd also like to note that I'm in love with these Zara heels. They're comfy and look expensive - I've already fooled quit a few friends who have thought they were designer. I now own them in both nude and black... and am totally thinking about that white pair too. ;)
