want. so many levels of want that i’ve never wanted anything more in my life, except that time that i wanted a chocolate chip milkshake really badly and didn’t have any gas in my car, so i walked two miles to get one. it’s like that.

nautica summer sail

due to equal levels of disorganization, procrastination and stress, i didn’t post about this sooner, but i attended the nautica summer sail last wednesday. it was the perfect close to the summer and, though it rained earlier that day, the skies were clear for a boat ride around liberty island.

nautica invited myself and a select group of fashion and lifestyle bloggers to enjoy the sea complete with half-naked male models and a lovely spread in honor of the brand’s newest collection.

please note that my height (4’10”) put me at nipple level of the models. please also note how windy it was on the deck of the boat. like, really fucking windy.

i’d never seen nyc from the water, so it was an amazing experience and i walked off with a new perspective of my city, a great hairdo and a new pair of aviators. many thanks to nautica, rachel & the 360i team for inviting me!

umcanyounot asked: How do we feel about skinny black leather (real leather) pants? Are they a "no"? A "yes"? If a yes, how much should I expect to pay for them? And how can I dress them down and dress them up? Can a wear, say, a chunky sweater with the pants and pair them with black leather ankle boots? Help.

ever since seeing that one infamous episode of friends with ross’ leather pants debacle, they’ve make me nervous, but if you’re willing to stock up on baby powder, go for it. they also tend to be pricey, but check shopstyle for any sudden bargains. dress down with: over-sized t-shirts and ballet flats. dress up with: lots of jewelry, platforms. in regards to ankle boots, stay away from the motorcyle variety or you’ll look like a member of the hell’s angels.

click through for how i would style them if money magically grew on trees.

“

fashion can be exceedingly insular and concerned with that which is visually new right now. the girl of the moment, the lip of the moment, the eyebrow of the moment, the hemline of the moment — here today, gone tomorrow — sometimes it seems a bit indulgent and decadent. but at the end of the day, there is a way to speak to and excite many different audiences at whatever level they happen to be in the hierarchy of aesthetic-mindedness. there’s a way to make the fashion universe realize that the world itself is interesting and stimulating. and there’s a way to make the big world realize the show of fashion has relevance and that the visual stimulation that emerges from it is pretty cool, too.
