It's been raining non-stop these past couple of days. It's pretty chily out…perfect weather to debut my new over-the-knee boots by Barney's Co-Op and don a favorite Rick Owens cocoon coat.

SELF-PORTRAIT en iPHONE…part two P.S. I’m not a dropout
I've been snapping webcam & phone pics the past couple of weeks to put together for this collage.
I like how by looking at a picture of a previous outfit, I can remember exactly what I did that day….it's a nice trick for someone with a terrible memory ie: me.

I would like to address a misportrayal in a recent Wall Street Journal article which implied that I had dropped out of highschool to pursue blogging/other projects I've taken on.
This is untrue…I am currently finishing up my English credit and will graduate with the rest of my class in 2010.
Just setting the record straight…I didn't drop out of school.

More of the faux fur collection
Spent the last few days hanging out in the hot hot heat taking pictures of these amazing faux fur jackets…looked like a total fool!
I am so in love with this blonde faux mink…
Worn with cut-off Madewell corduroys, vintage chambray men's shirt, and these amazing Prada studded peep-toe slingbacks.
Stacy, our shoe sales girl, showed us these shoes..my mom and I instantly fell in love when we tried them on. I don't think they are something I would have picked out on my own…I'm so glad Stacy had them out for me to try on, because they go with EVERYTHING!
Here are two more of my favorite faux furs…one being a leopard mohair pea coat & the other a shagadelic 70's monstrosity.
Here is my mom modeling the pea coat..these pics were taken on her friend Jane's property, such pretty woods!
Worn with J. Crew cords & Jil Sander pumps
Can't resist a close-up shot of these shoes…I'm so jealous!
Heres the shaggy coat…judging from the label, it isn't actually vintage.
I got this coat when I was in Tokyo…it was pouring down rain, and my mom and I were wondering around Shimokitazawa. This coat was carelessly hung outside the door of a vintage boutique, and it was drenched in rain…it looked like it had been crying. I had to bring it home with me…even if it smells funky.
These Ann D boots are new…you know I fall in love with an Ann Demeulemeester boot every season…these are bad ass. They're clunky, rigid, and comfortable. Notice how they are actually two separate parts…the shaft of the boot is detachable. Expect to see these in many, many posts to come…
More to come soon!

Pretty necklaces
I've been having fun trying on a lot of the necklaces on Atlantis Vintage before they go up on the site-I fell in love with the Razza scorpion necklace. My aunt stole it, it was meant for a Scorpio!
I am also OBSESSED with the python link necklace..very Hermes!
Do you think its starting to feel like autumn at all?
Sweater by local Tulsa designer Terasa Fadem, Levi's jeans, and Balenciaga boots
I'm already dressing for it…
Hope you all had a great labor day weekend!

PLUSHY LOVE
If my posts are slow…
Its because I've been busy working with my mom on dissecting this rack of vintage & secondhand furs…most of them are faux. My mom has been collecting these since the beginning of the year and has curated quite the collection…
I can't wait to show all of her finds! As you can see, I've got a lot to cover…expect posts with all of these coats soon!
First off is a personal favorite..
Vintage faux fur jacket-extremely boxy and very warm.
Worn with Joie skinny satin pants and Ann Demeulemeester triple lace up burgundy boots.
Oh hey…notice anything different?
I went red today!
I really like it…it's an exciting change for me, I've never really been anything but dirty blonde before.
Remember this cute jungle green faux-fur coat I posted a few months back?
These faux fur coats by Sasson were what kicked off my mom's obsession with faux-fur.
At the moment she has five of these coats in her possession, and even managed to round up a Sasson baseball tee to go with them.
The green is still my favorite. Worn here with vintage velvet harem pants by Kenzo, and suede tri-tone Pradas.
Plain black doesn't have quite the 'WTF' factor as the green one, but I still love it. Worn with Kill City tie-dye jeans and Balenciaga ankle boots.

TODAY’S INSPIRATION BOARD
PICKS OF THE SEASON
SNOW LEOPARD
When will it be winter already??
For no reason in particular I seem to have accumulated a lot of leopard print in my life as of late…and most of these pieces are much better suited for cold weather, and not the 100 degree heat we're experiencing in TX at the moment.
Particularly this one.
This is an Ivan Grundahl faux leopard cocoon coat that my mom got at a sale at the If boutique in Soho. My mom and I are both big fans of Ivan Grundahl, so it was an exciting find, especially at something like 80% off..ridiculous!
I wasn't with her when she bought this coat, she had it shipped home. I had to try it on as soon as I saw it. The plushy fur is so soft, and the coat is reversible, so you can wear it on rainy days too!
Worn with Balenciaga ankle boots & a vintage Razza elephant necklace.
This is a leopard print skirt found at the Goodwill for 99 cents. The print is great and the length is perfect for my Miu Miu studded ankle boots.
Worn with a shearling bomber jacket by Richard Chai, an antique kimono sash that my mom got in Tokyo long ago, and of course, the Miu Miu ankle boots
I found this Junya Watanabe leopard dress/shirt at the If sale too…I was so happy, I had almost bought this top in Dallas a few months before, but here it was on sale 75% off!
If it weren't for the fact that it is made of wool it would be perfect for today's weather. Even though it was hot in New York I wore this outfit around town.I have to say that as much as I love this top, it's very impractical. My left arm was virtually imobilized in it. A fashion straight-jacket so to speak.
Worn with running pants, an LGB flannel, and Y-3 bag. Weird outfit, I know.
I guess winter isn't too far away…I'm just impaitient to wear some of these things!
Till next time…xo Jane
