7.17.2009

that was how the world looked that day








(vintage button down tunic, slipdress, and studded fringe scarf, Freedom for Topshop necklace, Aldo boots, Givenchy bag)

Somehow the fact that this tunic/shirt/whatever has deep slits at both the sides and back makes it that much better of a layering piece. I've been buying button down shirts and black denim shorts like crazy lately. It was a beautiful day in Little Italy, though the multitude of dog walkers made me feel deficient of a canine either extremely large and furry or ridiculously small and hairless to parade about. In a Kumo-less situation I'd probably go the German Shepherd route and name him something really good like "Charles" or "Dagger". Just to clear that up.

Tonight it was yoga class, cleaning the living room, and half-watching Jerry Maguire while catching up on my magazine subscriptions. Being boring is amazing.

That slip dress is perfect. Your tan complements it so well as does the hat. :)



By the way, thought you might be of interest in the fact that I finally caved, bought and started watching The Tudors season 1. Henry Cavill or Jonathan Rhys Meyers? May I please continue drooling over both? :) I'm up to episode 7 so far (scariest episode) with the sweating sickness.... ahhh!



PS: My husband's aunt had a German shepherd once named "Tango" her brother had "Cash" ;) -- I love Dagger and Charles, too!

The shoes are good but to be honest I have kind of lost interest... Looking back through the archive it seems to be the same thing over and over and over... you get the idea. The outfits are so similar, the images are so similar, the writing offers no more than an update on your days schedule.
You have a massive platform to do something big here, please don't become monotonous.

Wishing you luck with all that you do,

OK, so I checked out www.kenzas.se to see this Rumi "doppelganger" that someone keeps posting over and over again. They do look similar! But I have to say, Kenza looks BEAUTIFUL in a way that Rumi does NOT. Rumi is like the cheap-man's Kenza. She is GORGEOUS and obviously a model. Rumi only tries for that look but sorry, it can't be achieved. You just have to be born with that high-class look. It's like Forever 21 vs. Neiman Marcus. You get my drift.

Kim said...

I knew those boots were fom ALDO the moment I saw them! I love a hint of leopard print anywhere.

Society Hill said...

i love the simplicity of the outfit, but the shoes bring it up a level. I was thinking of breaking out my leopard print heels.

This has to be the most boring "fashion" blog I've even encountered. All the "looks" are the same. There is nothing adventurous or unique (Olsen twins redux). Even the photographic technique and POV are dull and repetitive. I honestly don't understand why all these people follow you. Big YAWN.
