Easy as 1,2,3

Easy as 1,2,3 today, so this will be a quick one: Manolo Blahnik CC patent leather pumps, A.L.C. leather pants, and Elizabeth and James Emile blouse.

Good Vibrations

Wishful thinking on a cloudy morning for sunny beach weather and The Beach Boys "Good Vibrations" on the radio.

A quirky Diane Kordas black lightning bolt necklace and a Chinti and Parker's soft tank layered under a Zoe Karssen LOVE sweater are a perfect way to start a surf-inspired outfit. Keeping with the comfort culture, pairing it with an elasticized band Elizabeth and James sequined shorts. For polish, Hope sandals and an equally clean Alexander Wang Fall 2012 Pelican clutch (available for pre-order on Moda Operandi).
 

Drive, Girl. Drive.

Isn't it beautiful? True story: not long ago, Halloween 2011, a couple of adorable coworkers decided to dress up as me. It was the biggest surprise of my life to realize that I had a Wednesday Adams complex: I loved to dress in all black. Since that day I decided that, ok, girl, we have to give colors a chance. And so come beautiful things like this combination inspired by the movie I can't stop talking about: Drive.

I'm convinced that if Ryan Gosling was a woman this is what he'd be wearing in the movie. I know, epic. Borderline cheesy, but playful, tightly edited, and tailored.

The track pants are perhaps my favorite piece. They're these silky, slouchy pretty things by Elizabeth and James, whom I must say is on a god damn roll with their clothing line. The sheer paneled pink confection of a shirt is also by Elizabeth and James. I would wear it under a tribal inspired bomber by Tory Burch. While we're in this happy mood let's keep it up with goldenrod Christian Louboutin pumps. Golden + rod. Two great words that equate to magnificent things. In lieu of more things to scream for people's attention let's keep it simple with a great patterned Pierre Hardy cosmetic case. Remember you can get away with this type of thing because you're a bad ass driver.

Now there you have it, female Ryan Gosling from Drive. Go beat someone's face in with your Louboutin and go threaten people with hammers. Just don't get your bomber dirty.

Green Machine

There's something really exciting about minimalism that has built in pep. The idea that picking two colors and the same metal jewelry can make an outfit that is both super crisp and very optimistic. There's a theme recently! Perhaps a side effects of spring 2012's pastel trend is a healthy dose of positivity. Not bad.

I have a thing for cat eye sunglasses and opticals so I am literally obsessed with any fine crafted optical like Cutler and Gross' cat eye. It goes with my face, and it's sassy. Which I like. The candy-colored mint top is by Acne, and it drapes into an Elizabeth & James meshy, green pencil skirt. Classic shape, modern texture. Love that.

Finish it off with the super clean Acne Stella bag in black, my everlasting love for Eddie Borgo's single stud earrings and the punk-inspired cone bracelet. A classic sandal shape with a chunky heel by Ralph Lauren keeps this look clean. Who knows, maybe you can even paint your nails neon green and have them peek through. Go crazy, remember, you're a positive person now!
