Trench

Vintage trench coat and t-shirt. H&M trousers. Converse All-Star sneakers.

My new favorite thing to wear is this great vintage trench coat. I've wanted one for quite some time now, it's just such a classic and timeless piece. Also so much fun to play with. I've sort of been living in these sneakers lately. They, too, are classics and I feel like wearing them whenever I've got something proper on, like a blazer and trousers. They always add a bit of adventure.

On to other things.. Fashion Week: I haven't had the time to thoroughly go through all the NY shows that have just poured in from Style.com yet.. Alexander Wang's giant black coats were amazing, loving Marc Jacobs's latex things and patent leather wedge boots. Can't wait to see what Paris has in store.

I must admit that I am a total and utter slave to Givenchy... Well, I'm a total and utter slave to Riccardo Tisci. Everything he touches turns to genius gothic-catholic-gender-bending-skinhead gold. There is nothing he has designed that I wouldn't consider wearing. This fall's show was, in Rachel Zoe speak, bananas. From the rotweilers to the plush-looking glasses right down to the jaw-dropping wrestler boots... I'm astounded. Also, the selection of models in every show are so inspiring and diverse. The men in his shows range from ebony to ivory and beyond. And let me take this opportunity to join Tavi in saying "relax, fashion." It's almost time for fall fashion week and I haven't even finished drooling over spring.

The Ringer

F21 faux leather jacket. Vintage sweater.

I took that sporty/collegiate/genius combo from Watanabe's show and applied it to my new favorite vintage sweater. Love the blue rings around the neck, waist and wrists.

Dandy

Vintage blazer, sweater, and shoes. F21 jeans.

Sorry for the abundance of photos featuring these jeans lately. I think I've worn blue jeans more this year than the entire year of 2009. Insane. Found this vintage blazer the other day and took it out for a spin today. It has those cute little suede patches on the elbows that bring images of A) hobos and B) equestrians to mind.

I am OBSESSED with this entire collection. It's exactly what I want to look like right now (and for a while) with great uses of color and texture throughout. Plus, the men in this show are a plus too (notice: man in second photo.)
