Marc, oh marc!

I'm visiting my sister in London, and for my first day we decided to visit the brand new Marc by Marc Jacobs store. This was straight after we went to the luella store. Unlike the luella store or dover street market etc. the difference was that at the Marc by Marc store I could do more than just look. Since there's onl
y a few Marc by Marc Jacobs stores in the world, they do special items that are still Marc Jacobs, just really affordable, most stuff is under twenty pounds! I have to admit I was like a kid in a candy store. I ran away with two cute heart mirror compacts, a pen that looks like a lipstick, a studded wallet which I am going to experiment with as an oyster card holder, a necklace with a maginfying glass, and two rings. Of course being so smitten with my purchases I gave myself a manicure and tested out m
y rings (what fingers to wear them on etc.) which involved lots of cheesy hand model poses...
here's proof of my vanity.
think I'm preferring the second way! and do excuse the pyjamas!
I love how they are just like explosions of metal. love it.

Wang Bang.


It's seems like there's this new 'gang' all centering around Alexander Wang. Daisy Lowe, Alice Delall, Erin Wasson and just about every other grimy model you can find have all confessed their love for Alexander Wang. His group of friends seems to embody his actual clothes aesthetic. His clothes are pretty simple, but always have and edge to them like his distressed jeans or soft cotton tank tops, he's now added shoes to his line, and they clearly stay on the same level as the rest of his line. They're all fringed leather with rings and a fair bit of toe cleavage.
I paticularly love the fringed beauties. I saw Rumi blogging about ones she got at Forever 21 that look pretty much exactly the same. anyways here's a picture of the shoes in action.
