FIRST DAY OF SUMMER
Today I hung out with my mom, my sister, and my cousin at Northpark to have some lunch and do some shopping. Yesterday was our last day of school, so we were sort of celebrating the beginning of summer...I almost wimped out and stayed home (because I got like, three hours of sleep last night!) but I'm glad I didn't because it was one of the funnest times I've had in a long time-they make me laugh so hard.
Mom and I picked out outfits together this morning...she has been eager to debut a breathtaking Christopher Kane dress.
WOW.
It's a total collector's piece-I'm in awe of it. It feels incredible too! She says she'll let me borrow it sometime. Obviously not an offer I'm going to resist!!
The genius of this dress is that such a compellingly bizarre and barbarous statement has been put on such a conservative canvas....such dichotomy allows for some pretty reckless styling! This dress could seriously go with everything.
Today Mom paired it with vintage Levi's and Yves Saint Laurent cage booties today. (and her usual Ray Ban aviators and Prada tote)
After gassing up, we had a tasty lunch at La Duni.
My cousin Sidney on the left and sister Carol on the right!
After lunch...shoe shopping....lots of shoe shopping. There is more where this came from, but sadly my camera battery ran out...!
These Yves Saint Laurent cage heels are mine-I'm in love with them! I much prefer these to the mid-calf cage ankle boot. The velvet bow is genius.
Another shoe purchase...I've been lusting after these since day one! I can't seem to resist anything western-inspired. Guess it's just my undying appreciation for Texas...I've always had a thing for cowboy boots.
These are next level, though. The clean lines of this shoe, the double platform, that industrial-strength zipper-these Givenchys mean business....they're total shit-kicking shoes. Not to mention they are very comfortable for walking.
Today I wore a new dress I picked up at Seven in New York. The dress is Henrik Vibskov. I grabbed it because it was a total steal....and because I couldn't resist the hypnotizing print. I'm not even kidding, staring at this dress made my eyes hurt after a while today.
My headphones are from Eskuche for those who have asked!
And because everyday needs a soundtrack-today I choose Logic System's 1982 LP Venus.
Have a great summer everyone.

I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE your Yves Saint Laurent cage heels !!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's interesting how you sometimes write about your Mom when it comes to clothes that she's bought. It makes me feel like your Mom is a bit hesitant at times to share stuff. I mean, nothing wrong with that of course, it's sort of just a normal thing between females. But, is it true? :)
Your cousin has really nice blue eyes. Are those real?
your mum has a gorgeous style!!! totally in love with everything!

Seriously love the cage heels. The velvet bow is a great detail. I also prefer these to the bootie. The dress print is really psychedelic and I like the yellow underneath.

LOGIC SYSTEM! One of the best bands EVER!!! I'm not at all surprised you're into them, considering other music you have mentioned in previous posts. I'm on the lookout for some Yellow Magic Orchestra, I'm guessing you're into them no doubt?

Nice outfit you got there.. and LOVE the new shoes..
and how cool is your mom's dress. I'm a little scared though, the creature on it looks real!
I love your entire look , you are definatly one of the few American teenagers with real style .
yes, your heels with the velvet ribbon are gorgeous. Did not find them in my YSL boutique though. Thinking of getting the cage platform sandals in black patent though.
omg! omg! omg!
you ladies are sooooo gorgeous!
i love your mom's top! it drives me crazy!
jane, you look so cute in that dress!
and your cousin is so beautiful!
Don't gte me wrong, love the Christopher Kane dress. But I always think something so instantly iconic can instantly date it - maybe 'date' is the wrong word. I suppose I mean I wouldn't wear something so instantly recognisable ...
anyone else agree, or care to put it more eloquently?!
