Friday's Finest: Fringspiration

I was fringspired the other day after a trip to the ever chic Maje store in Soho, taking home my new Fall staple - this suede fringe jacket you see above (but in black). After a few more hours of shopping, my trusty companion turned to me and said "I just watched you pick up everything with fringe on it for the past 2 hours, you freak." I guess you could say I was having a little fringegasm. And thus, this weeks Friday's Finest post was born... shop my fringspiration picks below!

Friday's Finest: KICKS

A few seasons ago, it would have been unthinkable to wear your running shoes around during fashion week (unless you're Taylor Tomasi Hill and then you may proceed). But this year, fashion industry insiders are running around in their *pause* sneakers more than ever before. Clearly they aren't the average gym shoes, each of these fashion approved kicks have got a little something extra that make us go "ooh" and "ahh." Whether it's three-inches of hidden wedge *applaud Isabel Marant* or studs on pony hair - we're taking "kicking it old school" to a whole other level.

Friday's Finest: Loafers

It's the mack daddy of all loafers on weworewhat today and we're taken androgyny to a whole other level. Calling all studs, prints, tassels, cap toes, and embroidery - the loafer/slipper is here. Take a cue from the Playboy patriarch, our buddy Hugh (Hefner that is) who debuted the loafer in the 70s. These shoes are a personal favorite of mine (next to sneakers) for their easiness. I love throwing on a fancy duo with jeans and a tee to put a little pizzaz in my 1, 2 step.

Friday's Finest: Little Leather Things

Real leather, vegan leather, faux leather, full-grain leather... leather is simply leather. Now don't get me wrong, I drool over a beautiful genuine leather piece, but I don't bash myself over owning something faux either. If it looks and feels like leather, then I'll rock it. That's why in this weeks Friday's Finest I've featured pieces from all ends of the spectrum. Indulge.

Friday's Finest: Sunnies

 

As a new weekly addition to weworewhat I will be posting the finest of the fine every Friday, starting with my all time favorite accessory - SUNNIES! We all love Oliver People's, Prada, and Karen Walker... but how about designer-style sunnies at a majorly affordable price. This post features sunglasses from one of the best - ShopJeen.com

Oh and I also own half of these myself.
