sick kid post

lanvin blue strapless dress, simona kaunaite porcelain (?) ear brooch, imogen belfield ring, lanvin earrings, jeffrey campbell clinic wedges, rodarte skirt, fleet ilya clutch, made her think spine knuckle ring, betony vernon sperm rings, siegerson morrison cut-out oxfords, lanvin cross-body bag, delfina delettrez hand cuff

Notes:
I don't care that I posted a version of the Delettrez hand jewelry yesterday, I love it, and that's enough. Originally I wanted to do a post on blue and yellow, but my incipient illness and inherent laziness prevented that from happening. I really like anatomical jewelry (duh), so the brooch fits right in, and I've taken a fancy to the idea of brooches as of late. I've been in love with that Rodarte skirt since back when Moses wore short pants, and I'll always have a soft spot for whatever weird shit Fleet Ilya dreams up.

As for the Jeffrey Campbell wedges: I have mixed feelings about these. They certainly look very cool but, as with all things Jeffery Campbell, they are not strictly an original design - the metal side plating is "borrowed" from boots by Akiko Ogawa. And J. Camp does have a boot version - minus the buckles and whatnot. So, while I like these, I'm not sure I could, in good conscience wear them. Besides that, I'm not sure I could pull them off. "Fierce" shoes are for braver, more coordinated souls.

shoes

I've made no secret that shoes just aren't my bag (, baby), but I must admit that I do like these few recent styles. It's a bit heavy on the Kirkwoods, and the shoes all share a few common elements: lacing, buckles, wedges, platforms, and the colors black and blue. And I'm okay with that.

alexander wang mini brenda camera bag and givenchy wedge

my two favorite items from candy pratts price's interminable spring 2010 accessories report, that i actually clicked through. i'm having a bit of an "i die" moment over both of them, but quite frankly i'm a little more in love with the mini brenda because it's a little more attainable and because i don't wear heels, and because i think purses should be as minimal and tiny as possible. i've actually wanted a vintage camera bag for ages. perhaps perusing ebay is in order...
