Thank you Herff Christiansen for sending me the vest I'm wearing in these pictures…taken quite some time ago when my hair was still red…I'm wearing an Urban Outfitters poncho over the vest, cut-off corduroy pants and Jil Sander asymmetrical sandals.

Borrowed my mom's Omega Seamaster…and wearing my Antonio Palladino octopus ring

Lots of people asked about my boyfriend../here he is….

Amit is wearing Rick Owens leather jacket, Acne jeans, Jil Sander bag, Spring Court shoes…and I'm wearing a Herff Christiansen, a Zero Maria Cornejo sweater, and Proenza Schouler lace up boots.

Hey guys, I've been taking a little time off from blogging while my boyfriend is in town…but I'll be updating more soon! Thanks for reading.

Mom on the left, me on the right…

My mom and I always end up getting the same shoes! So nerdy. But I guess you like what you like… When I saw these shoes at the Neiman Marcus sale I couldn't help myself…I liked the bloated shape of the platform. Don't these shoes look pregnant? Something about the shape reminded me of african fertility art.

Not to mention the bronze is so pretty with the blond wood platform.

Not to mention they are comfy enough to wear around the house, if you are so inclined…and you know I am. Mom and I both wore our Gucci's to work on an exciting upcoming project of ours!

Worn with Hanes tank, vintage cameo necklace, brocade trousers from Fur Fur, and a scarf purchased in Morocco.

Mom wore hers with a recently found herringbone skirt…..I have to borrow this skirt from her sometime!

Denise really knows how to work the camera…I was cracking up when she decided to make a guest appearance in this picture.

More coming soon!

One of my favorite things in the world to do is to go to Northpark Mall with my mom and sister, have lunch at the Neiman Marcus mermaid bar, and shoe-shop maniacally. I was really excited when Stacey (the shoe fairy) called us to tell us the new Proenza boots were in…I've been dying to see them. I wore the Proenza pumps at a shoot for Elle…

And fell in love with them. But I had a hunch the boots would be ten times cuter…

We headed into town Saturday morning to check them out.
I figured shoe-shopping was the perfect occasion to debut these drop-dead ridiculous Margiela boots I got last month in New York… 

Half-mesh half-leather knee boots. They are mind boggling. I feel like the luckiest shoe-lover in the world for getting these…I got them at the basement sale at the If boutique, and they were $180…in my size!! 

I figured these boots were so weird that they needed an even weirder skirt to top them. My mom gets all the credit for finding this gem…

This hand-painted leather skirt is vintage Adolfo, my mom found it on eBay. How does this skirt make you feel? I think that frog looks a little creepy…hugging that log just a little too close, know what I mean? So funny that it's Adolfo..that was Nancy Reagan's favorite. I would like to see Nancy Reagan in this skirt.

My mom kept trying to tell me that the log was in fact a cinnamon stick. What the hell? Hahaha

Keeping it dorky with a Velma turtleneck. 
On to the shoe shopping…

!!!!!!

Mom tries them on…oh yes! It's a must-have. I debate briefly whether to get a mid-calf verson of this shoe. It's a very slick plain black boot with white piping instead of yellow. I opted for this version instead. It had more of a ski-boot feel, and I love the lace-up action and repetitive spectator detailing. 

Mom couldn't resist this Louboutin ankle boot either. Gotta love leopard pony hair.

Carol always ditches my mom and me when we shoe-shop…she'd rather check out cake molds and egg beaters at William Sinoma. We caught up to have a long lunch at the Mermaid Bar…

Loved mom's outfit on Saturday…

She got this kilt at the If basment sale too…we really did find the most amazing things that day. She's wearing a vintage Christopher Ross belt with it, and some really hardcore Gucci boots. The leather on them is industrial-strength!!

What a lovely day that was.

And I am so in love with these boots…

And so is Denise.
