Guns + Roses



Admittedly, the leather pants is not a great idea if you live anywhere hot & humid. Which means that if you're not in the Bay Area, excuse the pants portion of this outfit, and just imagine in your head they are something more practical like these shorts. (If you are content to remain impractical in your warm weather habitat then feel free to ponder these leather shorts).

Getting dressed in the Bay Area, in the summer no less, has confusing questions such as: What will the weather be like today? Will it actually be hot? What kind of bag do I need to carry my flat shoes and my sweater?

Well, behold Bay Area women, this is your answer. You nip this in the bud and come to terms with the nonsensical weather and dress like it's pre-fall all the time. If the weather actually spikes above 70 in San Francisco, then feel free to remove your sweater to expose your pale skin under a tasteful sleeveless top (with SPF!) to the sun.

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.

Everyone else, say, with a day job, should probably replace the cut offs for Maison Martin Margiela Leather shorts or Donna Karen tube mini skirt.
