there's a leopard in your living room.

I am a lady that loves leopard. So much that my closets are color coded and there is an entire section dedicated to the print. I consider it a neutral. Recently, I've been wanting to add more leopard to my living space as well. I have a couple pillows that I adore from Arianna Belle, but I want more! Specifically, that divine couch in the photo above.

fymw: the book, the trailer.

All you need to get a book deal these days is a really great tumblr. One of my fave menswear delights, Fuck Yeah Menswear, is coming out with a book of it's own. If you're not familiar with the site, I suggest you check it out. And if you don't feel like it, you should probably just buy the book (launching November 6th) because it's Bespoke Knowledge for the Crispy Gentleman. So, yeah. Take a gander at the trailer below.

More importantly, are you following yours truly on tumblr? xx

coats & coats & coats.

Zara has so many FANTASTC coats right now I felt it would be a crime to not talk about them. Outerwear is such an important part of a lady's wardrobe in a place like Chicago because when it's chilly (which is most of the time), it's all people see! I'm having a love affair with 3, 4 & 5. Which are your favorites?

minni havas.

Lately I've been trying to get back into creating my own art, but I keep getting distracted by some of the new contemporary artists I've been stumbling upon. Minni Havas {b. 1983} is a Finnish illustrator that mostly works in colored pencil. Every line is so perfect and she uses light so well that you think to yourself "did someone actually draw this by hand?".

Which one is your favorite?

pamela love x nine west.

I've been a huge Pamela Love fan for quite some time, so you can imagine my delight when I saw that she was collaborating with Nine West on a shoe for this Fall. The boots are a perfect blend of rock and roll and western with a touch of a Harley Davidson for good measure. I need the black version on my feet immediately, if not sooner. Too bad they don't ship until 10/30!
