Time to start the annual hunt for that perfect v-neck tee.

shopnouveau.com

I like the sleeves much better on this one than on the AA unisex v-neck. Might have to break out the credit card soon!

Once these babies are available from Surface to Air, I will seriously consider buying them in black.

soak in the bajan sun

Sorry, I was on vacation with my family in Barbados
this past week. My flickr has some of the best shots I took
while down there, soaking up some sun. Outfit recaps to
come in the next day or two.

the girdle of venus

Packing for a week-long vacation is hard to do. Especially when you have a carry-on size bag as your main luggage bag. Too bad Mary Poppins can't lend me her bottomless bag for a bit.

Just saw Gareth Pugh, and it was amazing. The different textures that

he melded together were genius, and the shapes he
created were gorgeous.


Even if it's not your style, you have to admit that the man has a gift.

witness the fitness

I've found it.

I've been looking for my leather jacket for years. You know the one. It takes your breath away,
and you can't stop thinking about it. Well, Rick Owens, you've got me.

Thanks Rick, now I won't be able to stop thinking about this buttery-soft piece of heaven.

there are rows and rows and rows of dead mans bones!

I'm a coat person. The sight of a beautifully constructed coat makes my heart sing. There were many "nice" moments during NYFW, but the rare time that I gasped out loud, I couldn't help but fall in love again. And again. And again. Here are my top 6 from the week:

the row/helmut lang

richard chai/rad hourani

preen/doo.ri

Dark, tailored, and clean cut. Just like I like my men.
A hint of mystery never hurts, too.

"so you want me to run 'em outta town?"

shirt, skirt, scarf all by american apparel; jacket by mackage;
boots by hush puppies

I'm going to warn you now - I work at American Apparel, therefore, over
half of my wardrobe is AA.

Now, my housemates Boots and R+tM deserve some pimpage for their amazing styles.
Check them out, become obsessed, and remember to credit me for your
newly discovered stylistas. ;)

shredded

shirt - diy, pants - american apparel

I've been feeling particularly creative as of late, so I decided to bite the bullet and shred a tee. I think it turned out pretty well for my first attempt.

Next on my list is shredding another tee, but with lots of smaller panels. I'm also knitting, so hopefully a knitted circle scarf will be a future addition to my winter armour.

As you can probably tell, it was a work day. Hopefully all of my posts won't be
days where I work, and where I'm decked out in AA.
