Shoesday Saturday

Allison and I eat lunch on the stairs because we're too cool to sit at the tables. Our look for today was "I like classic tailoring but I'm a bit too cool for it."

On Allison:

Booties by Alexander Wang

On Casey:

Boots by Maison Martin Margiela

Blazer by Allsaints

Tank Top by Zara
Jeans by Marc Jacobs

Yeah, you can't sit with us.

The look for today is "At least I buttoned my shirt all the way up"

Summers in San Diego are the best but the warm weather sure makes it hard to put on a full suit for work. To my credit, at least I buttoned my shirt all the way up. The tee shirt sleeves on the dress shirt body made it so comfortable, and the fact that I didn't tuck my shirt in meant that I didn't have to suck my belly in all day. 

To balance the casual top half I had going on, I threw on some suede monk strap shoes for good measure. Leather soled shoes aren't exactly comfortable and I was basically hobbling to my car at the end of the day but the suede body is so rich, and the thick, heavy leather sole makes a very satisfying click clack when I walk along the marble floor. My look is almost classic so I love that the shoes are an unexpected color and material, and they're a single monk strap, which I almost never see.

Shoes by Ralph Lauren Black Label

I'd like to give a shoutout to Natasha at 3.1 Phillip Lim in West Hollywood for the beautiful shirt. I have it in a different color and I loved it so much I had her send me this one in all white.

And another shoutout to Mindy at Ralph Lauren in La Jolla for my shoes. The boutique itself mostly caters to the local La Jolla clientele with a lot of Purple Label and Black Label but Mindy will bring in anything that suits my style.

The look for today is "I never took grad pics so here you go"

I'm not good at sitting pretty and smiling for a photo, which is why I didn't take photos when I graduated from UCSD back in June. However, if I were to have a grad photo, this is what it would look like. Dead eyes, generic pose, pleasant enough smile, and perfect for hanging at grandma's house.

Also I look way skinnier from behind because I don't have to suck my stomach in as much.

Must-Have #1

The must have fashun item of the moment is a French bulldog. They're super chic for quite a few reasons

1. You can give them chic French names like Pierre or Henri. This one's name is Banksy but whatever.
2. They come in all the Chanel colors, black, white, and beige.
3. They're always smiling
4. Yves Saint Laurent always kept a pet French bulldog, and they all had the same name. Moujik.
5. big pointy ears

French Bulldog from my friends Brandon and Brittany

***Okay so this isn't my dog but people borrow jewelry and clothes and stuff all the time so I'm sure I can borrow a dog to be chic.
