Kenzo: Bringing Back the Cosby Sweater

I don't wear a lot of color but I love these sweaters by Kenzo.  They're bright and they don't care who knows it.  Dr. Cosby would approve.

Both available on Net-a-Porter.

Balenciaga Monk Strap Boots

Part of the reason I keep this blog going is so I can keep a sort of dream shopping list.  I like to think one day some good sameriatian will see this blog and buy me all the things I've written about in the last few years. Just let me dream, okay?  Until that happens, here's the next item on the list.
I would love to wear these booties all winter with boyfriend jeans and an oversized blazer.  

For those of you not concerned with the $1,375 price tag, you lucky a-holes can buy them here.

Protective and Practical: Christian Louboutin Egoutina Spiked Boots.

I haven't been interested in a pair of knee high boots since 2007, but for these I'll make an exception.  Here's what I like about them, with the low heel you'll actually wear them a ton.  I hate buying an absurdly expensive pair of shoes just to look at them in my closet.  The grey suede is going to go with everything and the spiked toe will keep you safe if you turn down a dark ally at night.  Kidding.  But those spikes are lending an edge to an otherwise almost ladylike style.  

Christian Louboutin boots, available here.

Loving Leather: A sleeve, a pant leg and a hem walk into a bar.

Lately, I've been loving leather accents.  A leather sleeve or trim adds just the right amount of edge to a jacket or pant without making you feel like a wannabe biker chick.

The jacket by the new Jbrand Ready-to-Wear line is on the top on lust list.  

This jacket by ASOS is a much more affordable way to wear this trend and I like the pockets too.

R13 to me is the final word in cool denim, but with a $795 price tag these leather legged pants may not be the most practical but that's not really the point now, is it?

WANT: Celine Nano bag

I think this would be a very practical, while slightly extravagant "Mom bag".  It's small so it'll be light enough to wear even when I have the baby strapped to me in her carrier and the messenger style leaves hands free.  So, whose buying???  I spotted her awhile back at Saks in Greenwich.  They had the most amazing selection of Celine bags, I thought it was a mirage!
