hailee steinfeld X miu miu

Obsessed with the ad campaign- but why so serious? 

 An element of artistic beauty exists in the expanse that's left for creative interpretation. Orphan child? I know some rich ones. Vagabond? Suffocated Princess?

Her look reminds me of Lolita in Vladimir Nabokov's novel- which partially remains on my reading list since last spring. It proved an interactive read when I needed a french and english dictionary to get through the first few chapters, but it's worth it. 

Oh, to be fourteen again... and the face of miu miu

petty things

Sam Edelman Petty Boot

The combination of leather and suede marks a proud footprint for fall. I tried these on yesterday just to treat my feet for putting up with my mind's wanderings.  

My thoughts are as follows: The fit toward the top of the toes is surprisingly comfortable (for being a narrow boot) AND there is just enough room to plan for a mix up of patterned tights or comforting, camp socks. They would pair great with shorts and a soft blend sweater; justifying this expenditure as a two season purchase...

Please donate spare change here. Thanks

Each look shares the same secret- pair with a basic knit and minimal accessories

small scale- opt for a leather clutch, lipstick, or manicure in the hot hue

Neiman Marcus/Keds

 Neiman Marcus x Keds debuted at stores on August 10th, in a spotted leopard print for a flat $100.  When did Keds get that cool? I thought the same thing last year with the alice+olivia collaboration when they introduced sequined sneakers. Last month I bought a fun pair of Gap x Keds, (they're great for dog walking.) But really. 

Yesterday I was having a casual night out, wearing a pair of leather thong sandals. Before we even made it to the patio, the strap on my left sandal snapped. My best friend's fault- so there was no awkward anger or embarrassment involved when my body made it further than my feet. Now, had I been wearing ^those bad guys A) People would have been too scared to even step on my feet and B) I could have possibly ended the night with shoes on AND a compliment, "hey- uh, cool kicks."
