I just ordered these online. Or rather, the boyfriend did since I no longer have a credit card (thank goodness for that!!)

I'm excited for them to arrive but I have to wait at least a week since they're travelling from the UK. :( But ASOS provide free shipping worldwide...which I think is super liciously fantastic!!!



I think these down here are great mens shoes also available online at ASOS.


Jack and Jones, at asos.com


The only problem with these deck/boat shoes is that they're leather and suede and I don't support such things, being a vegetarian and all.

But hey, they're great inspiration.


River Island lace up espadrilles. Gosh, these are gorgeous.

I am steering clear of the emotional posts while I'm in Miami and focusing more on posting looks. I think I'll deal with the seriousness that is myself when I return...but for now I'm in denial.

so. here are a few photos!
I snagged this bow yesterday and I have already worn it two ways as you will see below.

reminds me of the ad

"have you any grey poupon?" or perhaps they say "do you have any grey poupon?" I ought to youtube the damned commercial but I'm feeling rather lethargic at the moment. I leave at 8am tomorrow morning for Miami...home of the Heat, Dexter, and Vice. But even more wonderful is the vintage shopping! Below is today's outfit. All of which is thrifted except for the knee high socks. those were a winners buy!

style muse: anna karina, head-dresser

anna karina, godard's most prized starlet of the french new wave era of cinema, is not only stunning but also very chic...in the timeless-yet-vintage kind of way.



Straw hats were huge this past summer season, but did they ever really take a spot on the back burner? not in my eyes! I wore my straw hat allllllll summer long.

Always a well dressed head, even sans hat.



Bows bows bows! They're everywhere. If one isn't so inclined to purchase head accessories at the marked-up prices that American Apparel sells them then check out thrift shops. I've had so much luck!Vintage shops also tend to carry them at reasonable prices. I found a navy blue clip-on bow for 6$ and it's made of lace. Sterilize them first though, you don't want soemone else's scalp cooties (ICK!).

And don't forget the chiffon floppy hat as a super chic accessory. These have been coming and going for decades but have made an aggressive come back the last few years.

...and the leaves go crunch under my feets.

this look is also seen on my chictopia profile!



everything above is thrifted, head to toe.

nerd parade

who owned NERD GLASSES best?

Johnny Depp...perhaps..



Ginsberg?
Young


and middle-aged.



Maybe Marilyn did.



As much as we love the international Man of MYSTERY...I don't think he gets my vote.



Gotta hand it to the king of wigs, Mr. Andy Warhol, for pulling off these rad glasses that have since made a huge come back.



Woody Allen is no stranger to the nerd look.




It is my profound belief that THIS man, unlike any other figure in history or current events, has worn glasses best. And not only has he worn them so well, but the glasses became his trademark. May you rest in peace, Malcom X.



Sharp dresser.
