(Zara coat, vintage velvet shirt, Levi’s shorts, Topshop boots, Mulberry bag)

A mix of new and old basics and a teddy bear-ish coat with a scrap of a hood I salvaged from an old jacket for an afternoon in Soho dropping by the Michael Angel studio and lunch at the Mercer Kitchen..I’m back at my parent’s house in San Francisco relaxing for the holiday weekend..happy Thanksgiving!

Some random shots from the Lanvin ♥ H&M show Thursday night. Elin, Gala, Bryan, and I set up our shopping bags in my room at the Four Seasons afterwards to admire our blatant consumerism, breathed for a little bit to recompose from the frenzy before trying everything on and heading out again for a late dinner at Peels. More details and what we wore at style.com here.

(Lanvin for H&M dress, Topshop boots)

I have no idea how I managed to fit this dress in my suitcase when I packed it yesterday afternoon to come home to California. Unbelted, it juts out actual feet from the body in a way that makes you sort of pat yourself absentmindedly (I might mean creepily). I ended up getting three pieces from the collection after the show on Thursday night and figured it was worth freezing in it for ten minutes or so outside the Soho Grand since I have no idea when I’ll actually deem it appropriate to wear it again. I’m no Carrie Bradshaw sitting forlornly on a hotel bed in Paris or anything. But definitely a fun dress to wear, apparently at any hour of the day..I especially love the mousy color and nude neckline and general princess-ness going on.

Spent the day running around with Bryan and now I’m headed to the fashion show for the Lanvin x H&M collection. I know exactly what pieces I’m going to be looking out for at the shopping event afterwards!
