Fillipa K.: Cozy knits

I love Fillipa K.'s current lookbook so much-- I parted it into three sections. Dedication is the word.

The new Jerry Hall

Georgia May Jagger. Youngest member of the Jagger household.

16, young and blessed thoroughly by God. Girl's got the jawline, lips that put Angelina Jolie to shame, mad genetics, eternal sex appeal of a roughed up blonde and total rock'n'roll vibe without even trying. Georgia recently signed for her mother's modeling agency-- but she's a 5'7". Damn..

Quirky!

Oversized sweaters, sequined blazers (damn, Rachel!), black and whites = current major love!

In the midst of nothingness, I spared time to make a new header. You dig it? Because enough of Stam blowing cigarette smoke into our faces! And for those who want to trade links, please drop a line. Focus, lets! Sequined blazer, mmm.. (Is it Proenza, by the way?) And happy holidays everyone!

Confused

Alexander Wang pocket t-shirt, Topshop plaid shirt, vintage Gucci crocodile bag, Alexander McQueen jazz shoes, Maison Martin Margiela (for men) barbed wire ring, Topshop acid wash shorts

I am collecting oversized plaid shirts at the moment (collecting, pssh-- more like silently borrowing from my sibling) as cover-ups over loose t-shirts, paired with vintage slings and manly shoes. I am evolving into a man! Sadly, the Maison Martin Margiela ring (discovered via Lulu) is made for men, and men only. Damn. I need bitchin' jewellery in my life!

PS! Going for a costume party tomorrow and thinking I should be going as Lil Wayne/pre-famous rapper who might or might not be directly involved in a recent drive-by shooting/Kanye West. Decisions, decisions..

Alex's Alexa

Alexa Chung.

Apologies beforehand for the lack of posts! I don't know much about Alexa Chung other than she's shagging my potential future husband (Alex Turner, vocalist of Arctic Monkeys) and is friends with other drunken hipsters that we've come to sort of love: Daisy Lowe, the Geldofs, Henry Holland (I love your t-shirts please send me one). You love? You loathe?

Gotta love 'em crazy

Hi! Popping in to report I had a wonderful sweet 16th, I am ever-expanding my shoe collection (can't exactly help it, either), falling in love with crazy hipster-esque/Cobrasnake-ish accents, can't stop stealing my brother's vast collection of graphic tees and a costume party is coming up! What do I do with this? Ideas, ladies (and non)?

Would you rather be caught dead? You dig? What exactly does one wear with it?
(I sort of dig it. And maybe in the midst of purchasing..)

A little bit of love

From left: girl shot by Sartorialist (I think so), Masha Novoselova, Heather Marks, girl from Wardrobe_Remix

Aye, one day before my sweet sixteen and I'm partially broke from impromptu (well, allegedly) Oxfords purchases, studded thingamajigs, sequined t-shirts (you see, I can't get that Proenza Schouler sequin t-shirt out of my head) and other leather-bound conquests. And there's my pre-senior year prom on the 17th. Decisions, decisions..

Testosterone clad

Today we do things a tad bit different. Here's some delectable men sent down by God fully enclosed with self-styling skills. Hands up if you, too, want to marry the man working the drop-crotch pants. I don't know about you, but I love my men donning beat-up shoes with tailored pieces. (Yes, that's Rad Hourani.)

Vogue Paris Dream Team: Geraldine Saglio

Geraldine is the assistant stylist working under the wings of Emmanuelle Alt-- that's why you always see them next to each other. Not a naturally pretty French, but I love her for her immaculate tendency of embracing her best features (long flowing locks, ultra-skinny stems) and she's also been one of my icons after I spotted her on the Sartorialist once. Geraldine's also now a regular on Jak & Jil, in case you didn't notice!

Chaneling Balmain

Balmain leather pants on Claire (part of the Vogue Paris styling team, she's the director of Vogue Bijoux-- more on her later, promise!), Barbara (stylist for Vogue Espana) in Balmain fringe boots that we now see everywhere and have sold out at Net-a-Porter & rock goddess Emmanuelle Alt (Vogue Paris' fashion director/epic stylist). All you need is leather and great legs.

Vogue Paris Dream Team: Julia Von Boehm

Julia von Boehm Stylist for Vogue Paris, former assistant to Carine Roitfeld.

Julia is one of the Vogue Paris team-- but is currently based in New York, was seen parading religiously in her (my God, epic) Margiela fur coat during the recent Paris Fashion Week, and apparently shares my hardcore love for black-on-black ensembles.. and (newsflash) as always pulls it off effortlessly. Being me, I picked out a row of monochrome outfits she put on, but don't fret! I have a Julia von Boehm part two coming soon (yes, colors are involved). You may say I'm covering the Vogue Paris Dream Team members.. just so you don't have to Google ;-)

Brass metal chains

ETA I love everything about this photo. The two-toned nail polish, the random cartoon oversized t-shirt, assorted accoutrements on her wrists/fingers, the envy-worthy eyebrows, the inhumane thing she's holding (what is that?).. and mostly, goddamnit-- I need those sunglasses. Right now. Not kidding.

Come out and play

I've been very busy lately, catching up with life and it's little luxuries, going out, touching all things lace/fringe (hah!) and living in my gray snow cap (epic fail on Alexander Wang attempt) but I am going back to the streetstyle posts and editorial picks. Enjoy the rest of the weekend!
