(Jill Sander for Uniqlo jeans (so cheap, a steal really), Michael Kors booties, Ralph Lauren button up shirt, Theory elbow patch blazer, Danier (love my Canadian brands!) gloves, and a beautiful Alviero Martini silk scarf given to me by Mass' mom for my 25th birthday)
Lately I've been spending all my time in the library. I typically go to the British Library because it houses every publication ever published in the UK; research-wise, its beyond perfection. In addition to being the most sought-out exclusive library I've ever belonged to (no food, water, bags, coats, highlighters, pens, allowed), it houses another kind of genius: the intellectual fashionista.
I've always preferred French to Italian (Mass is going to kill me) street style because I felt the French (Parisians especially) have this thrown together, Je ne sais quoi, look. But it looks so damn good. I see a lot of that in the passer bys that come into the Brit Lib. The other day, I saw the most rugged, handsome briefcase on the most whacked out guy. He had this briefcase made out of very raw leather and a stick for the handle. His friend saw a kid on the street making one in Mozambique for 30p. It was goregous (yes I asked him, but sadly no I didn't take a pic :( )
Anyway, I definitely dress for myself and not for the people around me; I was heading to the library in the above pics.
Ciao, yet again, from London
