Editorial: Lucky Magazine, December 2014

I seriously wish I had more time for fashion magazines.  There is so much good shit out there, and so many of them now are publishing articles that actually make you think about things besides 4587 ways to please your man in bed or some shit.  I did manage to catch this editorial in December's issue of Lucky Magazine though, and immediately fell in love.  I never wear these colors, but this spread made me want to.  Something about the combination of pastels, with the edgy metallic eyeliner and accessories and DENIM and FUR and mixed metals and this model all made me drool.  I feel like it took some of my favorite things in a whole new direction that we've kind of not seen before - this is actually wearable high fashion.  If anyone spies that denim BCBG top please call me immediately because I will run to wherever it is and buy it.

In re: these pants.  I googled and stalked and drooled and googled some more.  Finally I found them on sale, and was still skeptical.  Seriously, fashion (like most other forms of art) is sometimes so fucking ridiculous when you really think about it.  $1k for a pair of pants? The nerve.  However, the minute I put them on I was all "ohhhh I get it now."  Again, like art - when the right piece clicks, it's a priceless investment.  Unlike art though, most of the shit you want is going to go on sale, so it's usually best to just simmer down and wait.

There was a time, years ago, when I vowed that I would never wear a "cheesy fake fur vest" (yes I am quoting myself).  Except, as the years passed, fur vests marched down runway after runway, and I was all "hmm...that looks so chic" (yep did it again).  Between Olivia Palermo and the Rachel Zoe Project, I officially became a fur-vest-lover.  Note to self - never say never.
