New bag addition

New bag addition

Alexander Wang ‘devere’ leather bag Not quite on the Spring wishlist I set for myself less than two weeks ago, I was unable to resist the opportunity to nab this Alexander Wang devere bag which I had mentally added to my wishlist when I saw it in San Francisco last year. I adore the structured and geometric shape, with the hardness offset by the soft rabbit tail accents at the zipper.

Barrage of stripes

Barrage of stripes

Comme des Garcons Play stripe top, Karen Walker skirt, Helmut Lang blazer, Topshop shoes, Cheap Monday & Karen Walker rings Oh yes, another outfit with yet another striped top. I suppose the cat is out of the bag; I tend to wear stripes quite often, considering that they make up a large proportion of the tops that I do own.

Marigolds

3.1 by Phillip Lim blouse, Supre jeans (similar), Givenchy heels, Karen Walker bunny filigree bracelet When it comes to getting dressed in the morning, all that has been on my mind lately is how it is X number of days until Spring, which is evidently reflected in the way that I have been dressing. Since getting home from Europe I have been yearning for warm days dripping with rays of sunshine, which I can only hope aren’t too far away. I’m preferring to remain oblivious to what the actual weather is outside, since I seem to be spending more time…
