Last night I was way up past my bedtime doing some work, when Ferris Bueller came on. I had forgotten how undeniably cool Ferris’ girlfriend, Sloane Peterson, was in this movie. I love her slightly edgy, yet feminine style…you must remember that white fringe leather jacket right? Priceless. I don’t think that I could pull off her entire ensemble, but I would take away a few key pieces. One being her sunglasses. Love.

The incredible Garance Dore.
As I was perusing all my favorite blogs, I came across these incredible shots from The Sartorialist and Garance Dore, which I just had to share with you. I have loved menswear for quite some time and it seems now, more than ever, this is its time to be in the spotlight. I think what I love the most is the slightly androgynous look that comes out of a woman wearing men’s clothing. It is such a unique challenge, to pull it off in a way that you still look sexy and like a woman versus just a woman in a man’s clothes. It sounds contradictory, and it is very tricky. However, when done well, the results are pretty fantastic.
The last image is of Garance herself, in an articule that Refinery 29 did on her, regarding street style. The photos of her are amazing. To see more, check it out here!
What do you think of menswear on women? Do you think it is sexy o do you prefer more feminine accents, like ruffles and bows? Do share, I would love to know your thoughts! SPxx

Street Style: Lace, and Cherry Blossoms
Hello hello! Sorry for the delay in posts…I am currently working on transferring all my material over to my new domain/site, which I will unveil shortly! So, today on my way back from yoga, I was walking behind this adorable girl. I instantly noticed her white lace slip against her black tights, and as she walked under the blossoming cherry trees, I was taken with how her lace, and the white petals resembled each other so beautifully. I ran up behind her, probably freaking her out in the process, and asked to take a photo. This is what I came up with. Lovely, don’t you think? Do you have cherry blossom trees where you live? How do you feel about slips as dresses? SPxx
Pattern mixing
These are purely for your viewing pleasure. Don’t you love the mix of houndstooth and stripes? And, I’m loving her boots and bag!
