“The police have asked for my help. There’s been a murder.” “A murder! Oh, my. Let me just change my shoes,” Evie said excitedly. “It won’t be a minute.” ― Libba Bray, The Diviners My very first pair of Christian Louboutins. I’m all grown up now. Love, SG
According to those in the know, that is. Amen to that. Love, SG
I am not a blogger. I am a writer. I am a writer and I have things to say. Who are you? Love, SG
As I have another outfit post scheduled for later today (so as not to overwhelm you with too much fluff), I decided to deviate from my usual line-up and go with one, singular sensation 🙂 So apt. Available on ShopBop. Heading over there to get me one right now. Love, SG

The IFB (Independent Fashion Bloggers) current challenge for menswear-inspired ensembles had my mind churning, reflecting the various possibilities. I’m putting together some outfits as we speak/read/chat for said challenge but for now, here are some of my fave picks. And you thought Phillip Lim couldn’t do romance. Pshaw. This is his take on the Biker Jacket. The somewhat austere lines of the garment contrast beautifully with the fragility of the delicate print. An investment piece $1,195. What do you get when you pair durable Canvas with opulent crystals as well as delicate embroidery?? This irrefutably plush Jacket from Biyan with divine oversized poof sleeves and a hint of a boxy line. Darling!! An investment indeed $1,562. Burberry continues to do no wrong, at least not in my eyes. This fabulous utilitarian Jacket is given a makeover with a ruffled Peplum effect (genius) and zip-fastening pockets (brilliant). Must-have $650. Who doesn’t adore a burst of colour onto virginal white? Chalayan marries the two to effervescent delight in this Tuxedo Jacket. Fashioned from Cotton-Blend Sateen, the purity …

Don’t lose sight of it and, when you start to feel the fear creep in, train your mind to focus on it and it alone. Taken from the Independent Fashion Bloggers Website ~ very apt. More on that later.
You know, I’m starting to think I should rename this series, “Tuesday Treats”. Apt, yes? (from top to bottom) Medusa Cashmere Sweater from Nihan, Comic Book Strip Skirt from Vintage South Austin, just glorious Hand-Painted Wing Scarf from Shovava, Futuristic Metallic Leather Ankle Booties from Nanometer, and now, my personal fave, a Vintage Gold & Silver Articulated Mouse Necklace (the cute little thing measures 7″ long!!), and she’s MINE. You really need to check out Story Book Vintage, Meghan has some really awesome treasures waiting to be loved. Love, SG
