{ costume of the day } hyper golightly



i felt a bit like a modern-day, downtown holly golightly in this look. but while she had a croissant in her breakfast bag, i stashed chocolate-covered coffee beans in mine instead. what a way to start the day! those things are like hyperactive power-charge injectors.




wearing: h+m hat and sweater dress, 12by12 sleeveless coatdress, d+g sunnies, self-designed jewelry, nicole miller striped tights, loeffler randall boots

{ casual costumery } a sailboat named golightly

my personal obsession with the fictional fashion-plate holly golightly has pretty well documented on this blog. her bouyant spirit has inspired so many of my bijoux... thus, you may imagine my delight when a friend surprised me last thursday night with a sunset sailboat cruise around new york city ~ in a watercraft named golightly!


so began a whirlwind weekend of travel and adventure.


self-designed necklace, versace sunnies, rag+bone linen shirt, F21 skirt, random boat shoes

early friday morning, my guy and i flew to california for a mini-roadtrip blitz. the journey began in LA, followed by a quick stop-off at the glamtastic hearst castle (it's the second largest private home in the united states ~ a landmark of luxe):


caramel sundae sunnies, THE STALLION heraldic horse brass necklace, lanvin silk t-shirt, F21 skirt, coach bag, j.crew ballet flats

next we continued along the coastline to beautiful big sur...


h+m beanie, vintage emanuelle khanh sunnies, self-designed necklace & ring, vintage boy's blazer, loomstate t-shirt, coach bag, hudson jeans



...and are now settled in san francisco for one last day of west coast wandering!



i'll be back in new york before you know it.

{ spreading the gospel } of glam

recently, shrimpton couture asked their crew of contributing couturiers ~ talents like louise black and rsvp (whose entire line is temporarily 10-25% off!) ~ to step in as guest writers on their blog.



i've been looking forward to the opportunity, and now i'm thrilled to announce that my first post (wherein i ramble on about the eternal inspiration that is holly golightly) is now live! please hop over and read it, won't you?
