{ Architecture of an Outfit } Peace out, y’all

N and I will be on a plane on our way to Iceland by the time most of you read this. Gone, baby, gone.

Bon Voyage, Mis Amis!

I have nothing to say other than, I wish you all much peace and happiness.

And continue watching this space. I’ve got some really awesome stylish and wise mavens lined up who are guesting over the next two weeks. In addition, I’ve got some fashion week snaps, as you’ve seen so far. I’ll also try to blog a few photo heavy “Stylish Stories” from our honeymoon trip.

We’ll be in Iceland for 8 days and London for 4.5 days. The rest of the 2 weeks will be wasted in transit. The first leg will take about 22 hours and three layovers before we arrive in Reykjavik, Iceland. But it will be worth it.

I leave you with some mellow yellows. I’ve been wearing a lot of yellow, black, brown and grey lately. Guess I’m just drawn to the combos for Autumn.

Peace out, y’all. More posts from guests starting tomorrow!

{ Shoe Porn } Melissa teams up with Jean Paul Gaultier, new exclusive collection Vivienne Westwood ANGLOMANIA x Melissa

Announced by Epaulet New York this weekend: Jean Paul Gaultier x Melissa Collab!


After a 20 year hiatus, Jean Paul Gaultier has teamed up again with Melissa shoes. Known as L’ enfant terrible (terrible child) in the French fashion world, Gaultier has created a stunning stiletto and a true piece of glamour and design. We’re honored to be one of the launch accounts for these iconic shoes.

A far departure from the mid-1980′s tennis shoe with Melissa, this beautiful open-toe shoe is sleek with delicate crisscrossing straps and a shockingly sturdy 10cm/4″ pin heel. The intertwining opaque and transparent rubber highlights the beautiful shape of the shoe while still supporting the foot. It is absolutely one of our favorite collaborative editions from Melissa.

This is a “far departure” as well for Melissa, which so far has made a name for itself being a sustainable, plastic shoe with a faint bubble gum scent, mainly creating flats and shorter, sturdier heels and platforms. I believe this is its first stiletto heel, and probably its most daring style so far–which is saying a lot: Melissa’s silhouettes and shapes have always been out of the box and innovative.


To Buy: Epaulet Shop.

Shoes retail for $250.00USD, plus shipping.

I found these babies on Maya’s Agenda and I am stricken. She described them as “rainbow cupcakes,” but I see them as vibrant little touches of heaven. Because Heaven is paradise and full of flowers and soft things like silk or whatever the divine equivalent is.

These shoes are not yet available online, but her collections can be purchased through Net-a-Porter.com, and an e-shop is coming soon at her website. You can sign up for the newsletter and be alerted ahead of other shoppers.

Thanks, Maya!
