MMM

I have always wanted to own a Margiela piece. This one is particularly intriguing. It's almost fugly, but then it's not. I think I like it worn best on the bottom left picture... and on a special day, maybe I will be able to wear it like a headdress... the way it's supposed to be.

Astrological Awesomeness, Vogue UK

Vogue UK has an amazing December spread. I am super envious of the team who got to put this together.

If any of what they used were actually legitimate props, say... the seashell or giant horse, versus photoshop... where can I get my hands on those?! It would be a dream come true to take part in something as design-intensive and conceptual as this. Thumbs up to Vogue UK.

Cocooning

Opening Ceremony has some amazing merchandise on their online shop right now.


I am dying over this Yves Salomon Cocoon coat. It is the absolute right length and right amount of drama where it remains on the edge of fashion-forward, but still classic. 


Beautiful William Okpo silk chiffon skirt. I love the structure of the waistband and its play on pleating. It almost reminds me of a cupcake holder.

Barton Perreira sunnies. Love the cat-eye shape. Definitely reminds me of The Glamourai... especially since I used the word "sunnies" and OC totally used it in their description too! I'm still on the search for the right pair and I have my eyes on these for the moment.


Repetto Mysia Boot. This boot is all kinds of sky-rocketing awesomeness. I love the elastic band on the ankles and the awkward shape of the platform. It almost seems like a fusion between cowboy boots because of the toes tipping up and the boots my ex-bf wore when he rode his motorcycle. Repetto is one of my favorite shoe labels out there. They are so classic, so durable, and so amazing. I scored a pair of patent black and leather oxfords at a sample sale and they still go with me everywhere. I will cry when they break... I hope they never do.

I hope you enjoyed my OC wish list! I have to start saving now.
