Tao Okamoto as Tina Chow in this month's Paris Vogue…it's hard to find anyone as beautiful as Tina was but Tao makes a wonderful doppelgänger. 

 

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. 

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.

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!

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?

 

I'm already dressing for it…

Hope you all had a great labor day weekend!

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..

The green is still my favorite. Worn here with vintage velvet harem pants by Kenzo, and suede tri-tone Pradas.
