tweed run slippers

not too long ago, i was at the RALPH LAUREN RUGBY store on bleecker trying on a pair of the limited edition tweed run slippers. this adorable and helpful kid ALEXANDER who worked there went to the back and then navigated through the iPad trying to find my size, but apparently they were all sold out in the city of new york. i couldn't do a thing but pout like a kid who didn't get what his heart desired for christmas. hey guess what, i found my size here in tokyo! aren't these neat or what?!!

on the first day of my tokyo adventure, i found this vintage tan leather backpack at CASPER JOHN which is very very very unique. the former owner would used a ball pen to write down the name of the places that he or she has been to, costa rica, colón, and wait for it, new york city! as soon as it saw the name of the third place, i was like ... sold

in the odyssey, circe used a magical wand to transform odysseus's men into animals. while italian fairy tales put wands into the hands of the powerful fairies by the late middle ages. in the chronicles of narnia: the lion, the witch and the wardrobe, the white witch's most feared tool is her wand, whose magic is capable of turning people into stone. and almost all fairy godmothers would often use wands with stars or some form of decorations on the end. and this is what i got myself for christmas - a magic wand from MOON RIVER CHATTEL. watch out bitches!

we did a shoot with ethan james the other day. it was a cold one so every time he changed outside he would scream like a girl just for the sake of drama. and this kid knew how to gimme "couture" poses, like those that you kinda hunch and wrap your arms around your waist and stuff. supermodel wurk! haha. we had our lunch break at LUKE'S for some lobster rolls. good times as always

coral & tusk

CORAL & TUSK makes good things. from pocket dolls and cushions to badges and napkins, every creation made by textile designer stephanie housley comes with a buttload of childlike sense of wonder; as if they were little props for a fairy tale movie in the making. i got one of their badges y'all, it's called the foxy badge and it goes swimmingly well with my newly purchased vintage green blazer
