(had to use photobooth to take this picture—sorry for the low quality! let’s just pretend the mess behind me isn’t actually there…)
these neil barrett brogues are one of my favorite shoes in my shoe closet. unfortunately, they don’t get worn often enough. i brought them with me to tokyo, but they brutally destroyed my feet as i walked (x100) around the city (though i’ll never admit that to my husband) and i haven’t put them on since. still, i just love all the details on this shoe, not to mention the patent silver leather!
i was so excited when rose, a manager at miss mouse boutique, contacted me recently about stocking some 102M pieces at the store. of course i agreed, and shortly after some necklaces and bracelets made their way from los angeles to brisbane, australia. i’ve been so curious to take a peek into their shop and now we all can—check out their blog, which was recently started. all you ladies that live in the area (or traveling there) be sure to stop by!
some photos from miss mouse’s blog:
(these bracelets are an everyday staple for me, and i love how miss mouse layered the gold+silver together!)
these are some of my favorite stills from this beautiful short video featuring lou doillon. it has me daydreaming about carefree spring nights, lace in various shades of nude, and how an injection of neon is probably exactly the thing my closet needs for a little perk. there’s a great vintage omo norma kamali lace blouse i found last year complete with full on mutton sleeves, and i have a feeling it’s going to be in heavy rotation come spring. i can’t wait.
hope everyone had a wonderful christmas! i can’t believe it’s going to be the start of a new year by the end of the week, this year went by really, really, really fast.
here are some pictures taken in kyoto during my tokyo trip. my husband and i contemplated making kyoto a day trip but, thankfully, decided to stay one night. it was wonderful walking the “philosopher’s walk” in the morning, snacking on goodies (incl fresh sashimi and seafood, mochi w/chestnuts, takoyaki) at nishiki market and discovering some really great shops along the way. i cannot wait for the next time i visit japan, i hope it’s soon. (no harm in hoping, right?)
