favorite thing

today i finally got the chance to debut the only item i purchased on the saturday-after-black-friday (i never go shopping on black friday, it's too exhausting!) although i only came away with one item the whole weekend, i made sure it was a good one - a rick owens drawstring leather miniskirt, marked down 40% at barneys. i fell in love with it at the beginning of the season but had given up on it, assuming it would never go on sale. but lo and behold, there it was on a very empty rick owens rack on the 5th floor of barneys. it's a size too big but that's what drawstrings are for! seriously, who but rick owens would put a drawstring waist on a leather miniskirt? and did i mention it had pockets?! i am officially in love.



at first i was hesitant to do the full leather suit, but i liked how it turned out.



be prepared to see these chloe boots a lot this winter; i've been looking for another pair of black ankle boots but have yet to find ones that i really like.

i finished my christmas shopping this morning. i got back to my apartment just as the first snowflakes of the season started to fall. snow in the city is much prettier when you're warm and cosy indoors, watching the snowfall through your window...
