MOST IMPORTANT PIECES: BELTS

MOST IMPORTANT PIECES: BELTS

I can't remember when my mom bought this RRL men's belt–must have been six or seven years ago. She found it at American Rag on a trip to LA. She's worn it almost every day since then. I am not exaggerating in the least. Above are some pictures of the belt's appearances on Atlantis Home. The d-ring closure looks so good. It kind of makes every outfit work. I tried to borrow it whenever I could, which was not often since she was usually wearing it. My mom has a knack for finding 'forever' pieces like that.

I had a few free hours to kill while I was in New York, so I headed down to the RRL store in Soho in search of this belt. I found it, and now I can proudly say I have one of my own! The leather does not have the lived-in look of my mom's belt yet, but it will get there some day! P.S. – the RRL store was amazing, heaven on earth for a Ralph Lauren fanatic like me. I highly reccomend a trip there if you're in town! I found the most insane stuff when I went.

You can purchase this belt here!

Geez, look at us in our cuffed up blue skinnies, pointed heels, wearing the same belt, walking black and tan dogs. This cracks me up!! Must be in the genes.

I must be turning into a sneaker junkie, I am dying for these Nikes! They're on sale now, might have to get them.

I got into New York yesterday. Last night I went to the Jimmy Choo and Rob Pruitt collection party, it was amazing! Can't wait to share pics!

8 FEET

8 FEET


Wearing the Chimala denim ankle pant, white tee c/o of Elizabeth & James, Zara blazer, Yves Saint Laurent cage heels, and a Margiela clutch.

I did my Chimala jeans for two posts in a row…sorry, but that's how much I love them! I like that they are a bit of a challenge to style, because the silhouette is a total departure from the ubiquitous skinny jean.

CHIMALA JEANS

CHIMALA JEANS

I'm wearing the jeans I have been dreaming about for AGES now! I love Japanese selvedge denim and I've been eyeing the Chimala denim ankle pant on Madewell.com for over a year. I I finally took the plunge and bought them and I am so glad I did! The integrity of denim is amazing, and I love the loose fit.
My mom's neighbor was a Cher impersonator, and when his family moved they had an incredible estate sale. It was everything you might imagine–Barbie doll collections, Playgirl issues, lots of hats and sequins, and tons of fur stoles. That is where this mink stole with a velvet bow closure came from.

I am also wearing Roberto Cavalli sandals from 2001, watch c/o Daniel Wellington, and a dropwaist tunic by Raquel Allegra.

Dressing Room Hijinks and More

Dressing Room Hijinks and More

Ahh, what a week! Yesterday I was so happy to get out of my work cave
and go spend some time with my family. We had so much fun taking my sister
to the mall and watching movies all night  now that she is home. I tried on a few things
myself…I have fall fashion fever, someone cure me!! All items available at Neiman Marcus.

My followers on Instagram voted the little black A.L.C. dress a clear winner.

 
I tried on THAT Isabel Marant dress!! So Texas.

My actual outfit I wore. Patchwork jeans by Maison Scotch and Vince knit sweater.

The graphic leather panels on these Rag & Bone pants were very 70's racer cartoon–I like with the sneakers!

This Alice & Olivia groupie coat–had to  just slip it on. Cha cha!

I snagged these Golden Goose sneakers on sale a while ago and I am so happy I did. This version of them is next on my want list.

A shot from inside my apartment yesterday morning. I'm kind of a brass & gold person.

Sweet Melanie, she hates to get out of bed in the morning, poor thing.


A delicious chocolate mousse from La Fiorentina on Sunday! It tasted as good as it looks!


Haha–okay, this is an oldie but a goody. Townsend checking out my portrait of him as a dog celebrity.

I have had so many questions about who designed these boots, and I hate to break it to you guys, but they are vintage. Got them in Austin! Boots of a lifetime, for sure.

Mell

Another thing I've had a lot of emails about: this faux fur is by DKNY, and you can still get it here! It's super cute for layering, and the perfect weight for schizophrenic Texas winters.

Till next time!

SNEAKERS & SEQUINS

SNEAKERS & SEQUINS

Button-sleeve charcoal turtle neck from a thriftstore, skirt from H&M, Nike sneakers, men's watch c/o Daniel Wellington

This is one of the looks I styled for the next Thrifstore Essentials story my mom and I have been working on. The sneakers are actually my mom's, I'm obsessed with them, and they're 45% off right now so I might have to snag a pair. I'm so into this watch right now, when Daniel Wellington offered to send us one of their watches, I immediately fell for their mens collection. I have barely taken it off since it got here!
