H&M coat and scarf. Target socks. Vera Wang wedges.


James hooked me up with these amazing Vera Wang from Intermix that hoists me up a monstrous six inches off the ground. Probably the most highest and comfortable platforms I own, but the rather white leather/suede has me uneasy wearing these around. They come in black too, which I think is a sweet alternative to the D&G wedges people go gaga over.

I was so stoked when I found this coat highly discounted at H&M to the point of obscurity but then realized after going through all the pictures that it would look way better if I got the sleeves taken in. Jesus H&M, you were so close to perfecting this coat: cinches perfectly at the waist, exposed zippers, and a cute flair.

And I probably changed outfits like three times a day but wore this jacket and a big black faux fur one (also from H&M) with all of them. So before I changed again, I wore this hours prior to the Chictopia 10 conference to get brunch with Taghrid and Jason from Citizen Couture. Can't say it was the brightest idea to walk around sans tights - not only was I getting crazed looks from people, but my legs were bitterly numb. Lesson learned: take the iPhone weather app seriously.


Can't stop listening to this song. It's so soothing and this band is amazing!

OMG!! As soon as I saw this pic my eyes went straight to the Vera Wang wedges! I actually yelled outloud. lol! I've been eyeing them since I first saw them on the Intermix website. I've posted them to my desktop until I can figure out how/when I'm going to buy them. Ugh...you're so lucky! Nice photos and I love your blog!

Are you wearing any make-up because your skin is FLAWLESS. Uh JEALOUS! I would not be able to pull off platforms with socks. You do it well.

battlingthedinosaurs said...

I was looking at the same pair of wedges at Intermix! Is it comfortable?

Georgia said...

It is so cold, wearing tights is not an option in London! That mustard scarf is colour pop at its best.. And score for the coat, I love finding amazing H&M deals
It would be mine

Ugh killer wedges.. must be by Ms. Wang. xx

HeatherClark said...

i swear i just died a little...i have been on an AGONIZING hunt for those wedges..I am absolutely obsessed but Intermix is sold out and they are the only ones that carry that color. Apparently there were manufacturing problems with that color so no other stores got them yet (I've done my homework...) but they are going to have another wave come out mid march so I have made friends with various shoe sales people who are going to call me the second they get in...

do they fit true to size? comfortable?

Sweet style. Curious: Do you graduate soon? If so, do share your future plans. Is fashion going to be apart of your career, or going to remain a hobby? I don't remember if you ever mentioned your major... er, actually, I am only assuming yu're in school because I heard you mention something about classes in one of your vlogs.

Anyway, as a graduating senior (2010, chyea!) who's kind of shitting the bed, it'd be nice to commiserate/gather inspiration.

Nothing beats a good 6 inches! I can just tell how cold it is.
