this is a cold war, you better know what you're fighting for

I'm sitting here on my couch in mortal terror, watching the wind sway a huge telephone pole outside my window back and forth like a metronome. I wonder if downed power lines cause fire...

ANYHOO, check out my new spoils. The fabled shoulder chain/necklace thingy fromPeaceImages, the long feather earrings in all their longish resplendent glory, and a buff colored pair of brogues from the Zara sale on Sunday. I think I can categorically say that all my best shoes have come from Zara. They make a damn good shoe.

Attended the member's opening reception for the Fisher Collection at MOMA on Friday. Luckily enough, I also came home from work that night to find a goodie bag from PeaceImages on Etsy with my Uni Shoulder Chain and an amazing pair of long feather earrings--which I promptly decided to wear with that evening's outfit. It feels like having a red extension in my hair. I love.

I really liked the color and pattern on these, but forgot to pay attention to who painted them! If anyone can tell me who, I will buy them a cupcake.

Some trends end up being a flash in the pan, barely surviving a season or 2, while others stick around like a stubborn case of toenail fungus (ew), or fade away for a few seasons and then make an aggressive comeback. I have no idea what makes one or the other happen, but suddenly lowrise pants with hip-slung belts are looking fresh again. And they've been out of the picture for what, like a year or two?

I blame the following uber fashionable ladies for dangling the look in front of my face again in an oh-so-enticing way:

I'm celebrating the longest day of the year by watching the Kardashians give each other bikini waxes. Don't judge--I've seen you dancing alone to Pony.

Outfit post from Sunday's fruitful shopping adventure. I wish I could say that the pants are as comfortable as they are unflattering, but alas, they're a bit snug through the waist. In theory though, they're a fantastic alternative to jeans. Must find a slightly larger pair.

can't ready my, can't read my....

I had a pretty productive day today. First I visited the Decades Two pop-up shop at Fort Mason, where they were selling lightly worn designer shoes for $150 a pair. After wavering over a tassled pair of Fendi slingbacks (mostly because they looked fantastic with my polka dot pedicure) I swooped in on these Chanel silk faille pumps instead. Then I headed to Painted Bird where I found leather shorts for $15 and a perfectly slouchy silk button-down shirt. Now I'm watching Lady Gaga music videos on MTV. That actually has nothing to do with being productive, it's just awesome.
