Crystals and Talisman are a must for protection. Get yours with these gems: Pamela Love & Bing Bang know the power.
I can’t stop with the Game of Thrones references. It’s one of those stories that just takes over your entire point of view when you are reading it. I started on the 1st book when I was moving from Brooklyn to LA so it took forever to finish because I was so busy. I needed a break but now I have picked up watching the series and I’m well into the second book.
Expectedly, I am digging out my capes. I used to feel like a super-secret fashion super-hero in my Alexander Wang cape but now I am channeling being a knight in the 7 kingdoms. Yes, I know I am a big nerd. Don’t judge.
Taking the black for the Night’s Watch?
Black Tee: Plenty of gold coins / Not so much.
Super Skinnies: GOLDSIGN are top notch.
Black Boots: ASH has a great pair.
Need a Cape?
Bank Breaker or Super Saver.

I’m tempted to get all Edward Scissorhands in my closet right about now.

There is always something that I end up really liking from Alexander Wang’s collections although I do usually find most of it too sportif for my taste even though it is supposed to be slouchy model-off-duty vibes. This season I especially love the gloves that go with this body-con selection of draped and ruched silk with leather panel dresses and tops paired with cigarette trousers. Elegant with a dash of goth.

I finally got around to going through my Tel Aviv images. You will see everything in the next few days. All of these pics were taken by the sweet Natalie Off Duty. We pretty much ran all over Tel Aviv in three fun fashion packed days with Poppy & Gabby.
L to R: Line + Dot cut off tee with Miss Sixty skirt and Melissa flats with Cheap Monday Sunnies. Anglomania by Vivienne Westwood tunic with Alexander Wang cape and United Nude booties and Fossil bag. Skirt worn as a dress by Ishtar. Allsaints ikat print dress with Forever 21 jacket and KBL sunglasses.

I’m working my way backwards through the collections but after the wonderfully slouchy Vanessa Bruno I couldn’t help but want to revisit Alexander Wang. Another arbiter of the effortlessly chic.
Still rockin’ the skinny trouser look? No worries, you are still in fashion. Not everyone can wear a wide leg trouser. But how do we feel about the fuzzy. furry toes? Ehhh, not so much.
I love some neutrals and this look does not disappoint.
Perfect on the go urban girl layering pieces. I love the ponchos and sweater dresses. And the perfect white leather jacket.
Unique yet elegant. Just so cool.
Oh this ring!

The lovely Sophie Mhabille stopped me in September this year and posted a few images to her street style blog. She was so sweet and stylish.
You can see her work on her personal blog sophiehmabille.com and her webzine nast-magazine.fr.
She credits the outfit on her site but I am lazy and just added tags.
