Lusting After: This Rick Owens Parka
It’s no secret that I love Rick Owens, in all of his glam-grunge glory. I’m always (somewhat guiltily) gushing about his leather jackets. But tonight it wasn’t the leather that caught my fancy. While browsing Oak, another favorite, I came across this Rick Owens Drkshdw parka and I swear to goodness, I fell deep in love. With the east coast rapidly becoming an icebox, I found... Read More
Currently Obsessed With: Heels
This obsession couldn’t be more broad or long reaching: I’ve been at home in D.C. for a few days and spending some quality time with my closet.

Peddling The Goods: Ed Westwick for K-Swiss
As an avid Gossip Girl Fan (cough: Ed Westwick lover), I’m a little disappointed in myself because I’m only just now finding out that Mr. Westwick is the new “face” of K-Swiss.
