Das Boot

Das boot, this boot, the boot. You remember, it started with the infamous Balenciaga buckle boot which we were all like "this is amazing but not worth over 1k." And as usual, brand after brand followed with their own versions and renditions of this burly bad-ass ankle boot. None of them caught my eye and I really didn't think the style seemed fitting. But, I happen to love this pair from Steve Madden (even with the chunk in the bottom half of the boot) - it still has a slimming width making it okay by me. So this is me taking a break from pointy toe heels and tapping into my East Village dweller self.

This is going to be one hell of a week, and I mean a really busy week. I've been getting ready for my exciting trip to Stockholm, Sweden starting this Friday and you can tell by the smile on my face 24-7 that I'm pretty eager to go. Besides the obvious, I can't wait to get my hands on some Swedish fashion. Acne, Whyfred, Cheap Monday, Weekdays, H&M and more will all be at my disposal (sorry in advance, credit cards).

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.
