Back to Reality

Back from an eight day vacation out in NYC. I love the city in the summer. You can just walk and walk; given you're wearing the right shoes or you can wear unbelievably cute shoes that haven't been broken in yet for the summer and get blisters all over your perfectly pedicured toes. ouch. Shopping was a success as always. One of my favorite stores is Duo in the East Village, great vintage and modern pieces. Also headed to Soho where lot's o'damage was done:

I was looking for a perfect everyday sandal and what did i get? 3.1 Phillip Lim treated me real well with these Sidibe Sandals. Now i can look like Alexa. Is that creepy? :)

Got this amazing H&M asymmetrical orange skirt (left) to wear to a wedding later this summer.

Alexander Wang Flagship

“I wanted something quite pristine and hard," Alexander Wang said about the search for his new store.

The young and innovative designer is set to open his first flagship store this Thursday on Grand Street in New York City. For his desire for the "pristine," Wang had the floors, walls and pillars painted in a pure white, while 12 panels of mirrors spiral around the corners of the shop. His desire for the "hard" takes form in a dazzling 10-foot-high, 14-foot-wide blackened-steel cage at the store’s entrance. The new store plans to hold true to Wang's love for the “interrupted, and discovering the beauty and mystery that comes from natural flaws. A lot of the pieces are kind of interrupted,” he explained to WWD. “I wanted things to feel a little bit flawed.”
