Svelte Metals

I've always been astounded by how every garment and pair of shoes is sized and is fitted for every shape person. Pants have waist size and length size, shirts go from xx-small up to XXLarge, dress sizes start at DOUBLE zero, you know, for those women who are the size of exactly two M&M's. But when it comes to accessories, it's one size fits all. As if somehow, Miss Double-Zero-Dress-Size can fit into a universally sized bracelet that is undoubtedly always the size of an elephant foot? It doesn't make any sense! My wrists and fingers are so tiny, that I have actually resorted to wearing infant children's jewelry. Which is fine, but there's only so many ID bracelets and religious Christian jewelry a gal can wear.

Luckily, I discovered Svelte Metals.  Svelte Metals is the coolest jewelry line made specifically for the small-appendaged (and regular sized people too). The sizes range from x-small cuffs and bracelets, to the ever elusive size 4.5/5 ring.  And the best part is, it's all really cool. All the items are chic, edgy, and so wearable. There's definitely more than just the typical teeny tiny gold band. So, if you're a stylish small wristed girl, you need not suffer anymore. Put down your infant Christian ID bracelet and switch it up for that hammered gold cuff because it will be oh-so fitting.

Perforated Sweater Weather?

Club Monaco sweater, Citizens of Humanity jeans, Michael Kors shoes, Chanel bag, Ray-Ban sunglasses

This is a serious question: when can a person actually wear a perforated sweater? I ask because I love this blue sweater. It is one of my favorite sweaters I've ever owned BECAUSE it is perforated, but I'm having trouble finding the right time to wear this sweater. You would think that a perforated sweater would be absolutely perfect for a beautiful sunny San Francisco day out right? It was probably made for a beautiful sunny day out right? That all those holes were made to help you cool down in the heat right? Wrong, because you probably didn't think about the beautiful perforated TAN LINES that this sweater would give you, as you're stupid ass is hanging out at the Farmer's Market eating strawberries. No, you didn't think about that, until you got home and saw that your skin now looks like fishnet stockings. So wearing this sweater in the spring and summer is out. And obviously I can't wear this sweater in the winter because, hello, there's holes all over it and I would freeze. I can't wear a cami underneath it because that would be ugly and it still leaves my arms unprotected. And don't even suggest that I wear a skin colored long sleeved shirt made of panty hose because...well just because.

I guess this sweater will be in retirement and saved for those perfect hot summer overcast days where the sun is just barely peeking through all of those clouds and it's about to rain.

Valentine's Day Grinch

Madewell tshirt, JCrew pants, Kenneth Cole heels, Ralph Lauren portfolio clutch, Ray-Ban sunglasses

Valentine's Day, like fashion has gone through trends. First, it was cool to celebrate Valentine's Day, then it wasn't cool to celebrate Valentine's Day, then you were considered a bourgeois consumeristic asshole if you celebrated Valentine's Day, and now I think it's finally cool again. To be honest, I grew up many years in the phase when people were all "Valentine's Day is so bullshit. Why would you only take one day to tell someone you love them when you should be doing it everyday." Blah, blah, blah. Unless you're out there ostentatiously spending and screaming how much you love your significant other every single day, you have no place to judge.

I am always confused by the Valentine's Day Grinches. I am especially confused if the Grinch in question is a girl, because she should love Valentine's Day most. Girls get candy and flowers and cooked steak dinners. Some guy I know even gave his girl a pair of Sigerson Morrisons. What's not to like? And let's be honest here, you think that guy is out there buying $500 strappy sandals for this chick on a random Tuesday afternoon "just because he loves her"? Keep dreaming. But on VDay, it's expected for guys to go over the top with all the consumeristic cutesy stuff we love. Yes Grinch, I can hear you out there screaming that Valentine's day should be about love and kisses, and not about presents and flowers. But you know what, I'll bet those same Grinches weren't the ones that got the Sigerson Morrisons placed next to a plate of flaming hot filet mignon, because you know that chick LOVES her some Valentine's Day. So I say girls should revel in it and everyone should stop complaining about the consumerism and let the people that love consumerism enjoy their day with the one person that they love. Everyone else, enjoy your yearly hug.

Heather Gray Day

Club Monaco coat and sweater, Joe's Jeans jeggings, Prabal Gurung x Target shoes, Giambattista Valli collar necklace, Ray-Ban sunglasses

You know how some days are so beautiful that you can compare it to a tangible object? Like the day was so sunny and beautiful like a great big sunflower. Or the moon was so bright and round like a bright diamond in the sky. Well, today I walked out and it looked like heather gray--the most boring gray in the world. It didn't even look dreary like a gloomy dark gray day. It was just heather gray like Costco sweatpants or concrete. So, I dressed the part in heather gray everything, which surprisingly looked really good even though it felt like I was walking around in a colorless black and white movie.
