I haven't been writing as much lately...perhaps it has been too hot to write.

Sometimes pictures speak louder than words.

ONE BIT/hilfiger bennington high duck boot

First of all, let's talk muff. I think that a muff is one of the great forgotten accessories...along with tiaras and sweater clips. I love a fur muff, but it is rare to see people using them. This muff is especially alluring, as it takes on double duty and seconds as a handbag. Swoon!! Love items that make fashion practical...doesn't happen often, but when it does, I'm just tickled!

I can't stick much in this bag, but I can usually fit just enough to get me through a night out.

The top two bracelets on my left arm are INRETROspect again. Told you! Once you have one, you will want many.

The second bracelet down on right arm is one of the Marc by Marc Jacobs Latin bracelets, purchased at the wonderful Bookmarc in New York.

All other bracelets are vintage.

The boots take me back to my youth. My mom used to make me wear duck boots when I was little and if they would have looked like these, I don't think I would have minded one bit. These are the Hilfiger Bennington High Duck Boot and from the moment I saw them sashay down the runway, I knew that they had to be mine. Such a refreshing twist on classic footwear...absolutely brilliant, Mr. Hilfiger!

PAJAMA JAMMY JAM/sleepwear as street wear

Well the time has come for me to tackle the sleepwear as street wear trend. I knew that in order to conquer such a trend and not end up looking like a flustered morning mishap; I would have to be well-heeled and fully accessorized. I called upon footwear royalty to assist and wore the spectacular Dior Blue Angel sandals. I absolutely adore these shoes. They are like little slices of heaven adorning my feet.

While my love for these shoes is strong, I find that I seldom wear them. I think that I just worry for their safety. It would be quite traumatic if something ever happened to these glorious beauties.

I also opted for loads of arm and finger glitz. There is really no styling dilemma that little bit of glitz can't quickly amend...I won't say that it will solve all your fashion woes, but it can drastically improve the conditions.

The bracelets are primarily vintage and the rings were made by my mom out of old earrings. Note the first bracelet from the top on my right arm. This bracelet was made by INRETROspect, which is a local company that makes bracelets out of vintage clip-on earrings. I will tell you in advance that it is easy for a girl to become addicted to these bracelets...once one bracelet is purchased, many more will be desired.

The little alligator dude is a purchase from So Good...I am a sucker for jeweled critters of any kind.

P.S. Notice the messy hair à la Balenciaga. It wasn't planned but since the Spring ad campaigns are out, I might as well take advantage of the look.
