{ sunnies shining }




{ pics courtesy of stylecaster (more images on their site!) }

at the not-so-bitter end of this photoshoot, lori goldstein and i were gabbing about our shared obsession with all styles of sunnies. she decided it would be fun to have me try on just about every pair in the studio ~ and of course i couldn't say no! shoji wanted in on the fun, and thus a second, impromptu shoot had suddenly begun: click, click, change! click, click, CHANGE! lori was thrusting sunnies in my face, shoji was snapping away, and i was just trying to keep up!!

you gotta love people who, even after years in the fashion industry, are still able to be spontaneous and joyful about it all. which reminds me, did everyone catch lori's closet tour on stylelikeu? it's so, so good (don't forget, you saw it here first!).

{ what goes round }

last winter, i bought myself a cool pair of juicy couture sunnies, during an in-store event they threw for erin fetherston. they were the last pair in stock, and i was so happy to have snagged them. the next day, however, i wore them to a girlfriend's house. she fell hard for them, and they looked so cute on her that i had to let her keep them. sure, i adored them as well, but you can't hold on to things too tightly; sometimes they're just meant for someone else.

anyway, fast forward to tuesday night, when i attended yet another lovely juicy event, this time at the comapny's new york showroom. as i was leaving, my generous hosts urged me to pick out a pair of sunnies to take home with me, their treat. much to my delight, they had reissued the style i fell for so many months ago! i accepted them with gratitude and glee, happy to be unexpectedly reunited at last!!

{ westward bound }

you've probably noticed me griping about the weather lately; it's been an especially long winter in new york. luckily, i have a quick trip to california booked for next month, and i'm looking at the planning of it as an opportunity to invest in a few accessory updates, which will help carry my existing wardrobe into the impending spring. usually i (irritatingly) wait till september to find the perfect pair of flat sandals ~ but this year i'm happily embracing a more proactive approach. here are a few things i'm currently stalking online ~ in fact, several of the sandals and sunnies are already on order:

{ above: karen walker 'number one' sunnies ($180), loeffler randall 'ondine' sandal ($325), j.crew 'silvana' sandal ($98) }

{ above: sam edelman 'gigi' sandal ($60), karen walker 'the village' sunnies ($210) }

{ need it } two-in-one sunnies


although i already own more sunglasses than the average gal, this is an area where i feel one can never have too much. and yet, it's possible that dolce + gabbana's new double-trouble sunnies could actually complete my collection. with them, what more would i need?

{ runway to reality }

in a pre-fashion week talk at parsons, donna karan called into question the industry-standard, several-month lapse between when runway collections are streamed across the world and when they are shipped into stores. she said: "i don’t want the consumer to see next week what is going to be in stores in fall, because it’s confusing... in the movie industry, the consumer doesn’t know about the movies until they’re ready to come out. why do we give [them] so much information about fashion six or seven months beforehand? it makes no sense to me.”

i too can testify that the system is flawed: mere moments after these peepers premiered on prada's winter runway, i forgot all about wanting the wangs (and it was only hours since i'd posted them). fashion sure is a fair-weather friend.

{ wings like wang's }


like fellow sunglass lovers the world over, i've been looking forward to the creeping return of cat's eye shapes for a few seasons now, and yelped with glee when alexander wang launched the year's punk-prettiest pair on his spring 2010 catwalk.


the originals, of course, sold out pretty quickly, so i had to get creative. i found these look-alikes on ebay (don't worry, they have more!):

fortunately, when they arrived, i learned the lens is much darker than it appears in this pic, and while they're not as extreme as the real thing, methinks they'll do until net-a-porter (fingers crossed) restocks!

{ reading my mind }



loving this two-page excerpt, scanned from the latest urban outfitters catalogue. featuring statement sunnies, do-it-yourself headwraps, silken blouses and just-enough jewelry, it almost perfectly epitomizes all things glamourai!!
