This afternoon, I got a message from Bianca asking, “Are those your feet on the Solestruck blog?” Why yes they are — now you know how I spent my Sunday afternoon! I hadn’t tried on any Matiko styles in the past but once I did on Sunday, I was sold. The studded pair were my [...]

Last week, I shared some of my current interior decor inspirations and this week, I thought I’d share some fashion-related inspiration (old and new) that’s been on my mind as of late. 1. Super Chunky Knits. This version by AF Vandevorst is pretty much perfect. 2. Smooth and Sleek Hair. Black and shiny; I love [...]

To me, style and organization are interrelated. I don’t know about you, but I find that when my clothing is organized, easy to access and whittled down to what’s most loved, getting dressed and pulling together a look becomes so much more enjoyable. Getting dressed should be an adventure — never a battle! Though I rely [...]

Over the weekend, I was walking through Portland’s newly opened H&M when this layered mesh tank top stopped me dead in my tracks. It reminded me so much of my all-time favorite Ann Demeulemeester collection from Spring / Summer 1998 (I’ve always referred to it as the ‘tattoo collection’). For some reason, photos of this [...]

Yesterday afternoon, in my dining room. Lately, I’ve been thinking more about defining my style and developing a strong, unified look for each season (remember Gala’s Psychedelic Ladies Who Lunch?) I’m still very much drawn to black but I want the silhouettes to be sleek and European-inspired. And, I want the dark palette to be [...]

I never knew much about Wolford; the Austrian luxury hosiery brand was a bit of a mystery to me. That all changed when I stumbled upon one of their boutiques two weeks ago in Vegas. Naturally, I had to step in when I noticed the graphic and alluring Bondage Tights on the mannequin. I think [...]

The GeeWaWa Femme (a.k.a. THE CLAW) is definitely not for the faint of heart. Equal parts Gene Simmons and Minnie Mouse, it’s a monstrous powerhouse that screams, “I mean business!” when you enter the room. The gnarliest mary jane on the planet, the Femme allows you to look cute while kicking ass. I had never [...]

It’s still toasty outside but Fall is already on my mind. While on vacation in Los Angeles earlier this week, I found the most perfect scarf at H&M. Black and white with a graphic print, to me it has a very Marimekko feel. New accessories are a great way to freshen up a mostly monochromatic [...]

These Dries van Noten babies are like an acid trip for your feet. They’re a bit of a departure from my normal style, but I love them so much. Perfect for Spring, they’re super soft and slightly slouchy. I’d watched these boots a solid six months as they languished on the Halo sale rack and [...]

My new favorite piece of jewelry is this multi-chain cross by Forever 21. It’s a total urbanized version of what my childhood idol, Mr. T would wear and maybe that’s why I love it so much!
