From 2012 to 1931

As fascinating as the Paris fashion week is, it’s always nice to take a little break and do something totally non-fashion related and outside of the regular tourist traps. This time around my friend Dirk and I conquered yet another Le Corbusier masterpiece, the magnificent Villa Savoye in the town of  Poissy, located in the outskirts of Paris. For our little trip, I wore an outfit that has stuck on me like a glue this summer due to it’s lightweight and comfortable nature; a Rick Owens Lilies long dress, DRK SHDWleggings (both purchases from Paris) paired with an OBSCUR cardigan, and my dearSILENT sandals featured in the previous post. All I can say that it was a great day in great company, despite the looks we got from the townsfolk when two black figures hiked to the hilltop of Poissy in the sizzling +30C heat. Totally worth it though.




On me:
Long dress: Rick Owens Lilies
Long cardigan with neck strap: OBSCUR
Leggings: DRK SHWD
Sandals/shoes: SILENT by Damir Doma
Bag: Self-made

Perfect summer

I hope everyone’s summer has been as good as mine and full of lazy days. Going back to the routines is always a tough cookie but luckily I have some exciting things planned for the fall time, which will be all revealed in due course. I also have a few Paris posts still coming up but before getting into those, I’m introducing one of my favorite summer purchases: these black suede SILENT by Damir Doma sandals that have been on my feet non-stop since the moment I got them, as I literally walked out of the Paris Damir Doma store in these. I got them on a good discount which made the boys make fun of me since now the most comfortable shoes I own, are also the cheapest pair in my closet. Life is funny like that but at least it’s better for my wallet, and for my dear feet of course.

Downtown

If I would have to describe L.A. with just one word, it would be “vibrant”; There is always something going on, whether it is a concert or another kind of cultural happening around the corner. This time around we attended the yearly Downtown art walk and to better capture the atmosphere or rather organized chaos of this evening, I had to eternalize it with my camera. Maybe you can spot the one and only clothing associated purchase I made during my L.A. trip, something that I have been dreaming about for a few years now: The Ann Demeulemeester lace up heeled sandals. I believe good things comes to those who wait, though I have hard time convincing it to my extremely impatient nature… even when there are results like this.

Guidi

When you truly love something, it’s worth a wait. Like these custom ordered, hand-made Guidi boots that took three months to receive, testing my patience like none other. Now that they are finally here, safe and sound, I couldn’t be happier with the outcome. I predict a beautiful and long lasting future for us, wherever it might be.
