NEW YORK

A couple(17) pictures from my trip to New York this past weekend. It was super last minute and on a whim. Did a whole bunch of touristy things, but it was so much fun.

Being/Eating like real Americans, Taking pictures like azn tourists at Times Square, Reading The New York Times at a Starbucks 2 streets away from the actual New York Times building, 20 chicken nuggets for 5$, atop the Empire State Building, the site of the first Alexander Wang store, Grand Central Station, breaking my heart(broke my heart), Magnolia Bakery, BOOKMARC, TIME'S UP, strolling through Soho, Jumping in Central Park, Losing all my money at Barneys, Late night Milkshakes, Having no more money to eat, Sweet tea, Drinking illegally on Saturday night, Being forced to walk the Brooklyn Bridge, Freezing 24/7; These are only a few of the awesome memories I have of this weekend. Now back to school and reality

Streetstyle: Army Green Coat with Shearling Overlay

Love this look so much, it's so daring and forward yet he still looks super masculine.
Something I think a lot of guys tend to sacrifice, for the sake of being "different".

This photo was taken in London, which makes my decision to do go abroad so much harder!
Where to go? Paris or London?

PROENZA SCHOULER PRE-FALL 2010

THANK GOD FOR PROENZA.

picture from style.com  (collage by me) 

Seriously, how boring was prefall this year?
 Normally it's an opportunity for designers to test out concepts and ideas for fall. It's also usually the collection (along with resort) that sells most, so designers usually churn out more sell-able (read: boring) collections (a.k.a. Alexander Wang). Jack and Lazaro, of course, never go boring. This is collection is sooooo sellable and yet interesting and has something to say. I love their use of such eclectic prints and the mix is so perfect. I love that they finally dove in and made such statement with the knits too. The prints little reminiscent of Dries van Noten, but totally done in their signature NY cool manner.

I love how crazy the prints are, but yet they look so sophisticated and stray away from the Tribal reference and more towards a South American vibe. Surprisingly thought, my two favorite looks are the completely solid dresses. TeenWitch-ey vibes, basic, easy, and the draping is so flattering and effortless.




SAMIA told me I should just rename my blog to
something along the lines of PROENZA SCHOULER FOREVER.
and I mean why not? my blog is basically a shrine to Jack and Lazaro right?

where is my mind

JIL SANDER S/S 2011 // DAZED AND CONFUSED - JAN2011

photos from Intrepid London

Starting the year off right, taking vibrant color blocking cues from my favorite s/s 11 collection; Jil Sander. Katie Shillingford for Dazed and Confused's January issue. I love that paper bag skirt so much.



In similar news, Drew Barrymore wore an altered version of the tangerine column dress from the Jil Sander s/s11 show to a Covergirl event.



Definitely my favorite red carpet moment (cue:Rachel Zoe) in a while. Celebrities are always so predictable with their red carpet choices, and so, it is so refreshing to see someone take such a daring risk.


I also loved that the amazing color palette from the menswear line continued in into the womens RTW line too.

5. PROENZA TOGGLE SWING COAT


from LA GARCONNE

MONTREAL IS FREEZING! Therefore I am freezing. I've been struggling to find a good looking coat that will actually keep me warm (must resist the urge to buy a canada goose). These Proenza coats wont keep me warm, but at least i'll look good right? I'd be willing to freeze to death. PLUS: good news! They're on sale for 1850 1295$! A real bargain if you ask me.

Do you know what would make this coat look even better?
A PS11 pouch from Proenza Schouler duh!

2. 2011 DR MARTENS: VELVET AND PONY HAIR LEOPARD



photo from montrealinstyle

Dr. Martens spring line is sooo goood. I LOVE the velvet and this AMAAAZING pony hair leopard print ones. Even though they would never last a slushy Montreal winter, the second these are released I am buying myself the leopard ones. Anyone who knows me, knows I love a good leopard print. (Currently on my bed there is 5 different variations of leopard). but this is a whole OTHER LEVEL. I mean PONYHAIR? flawless.



ohhh and if you wanted to throw in a little something extra with my gift, why not add a large Prozenza Schouler PS1 in black leather?

WANT SO BAD, I would do anything for this. I dont get how Jack and Lazaro keep churning out such lust worthy bags, one after the other. I can't even handle how amazing they all are. Every since I saw these in the Resort 2011 pictures, i've dreamt about them. Perfect size, color, shape.
