I was in San Diego this past weekend and kind of blown away by the fact that it was so cold (for Southern California). There were actually burnt orange leaves falling from trees and I couldn’t help but reminisce about fall in Boston and how much I miss that damn place sometimes. The best revelation I had during the trip was that I could run home and burst out my best knitwear in preparation for the “cold weather front” Los Angeles has on it’s way. Lucky for Barney’s, I also had a gift card that was burning a hole in my pocket so I had to check out some winter essentials.
Whoops. Surface to Air reversible merino wool tunic. It’s so damn soft that I haven’t been able to take it off (fell asleep in it after dinner tonight actually). This thing is going to be my staple outfit for the rest of the winter and I can’t say I mind! I also bought some new denim because I CANNOT wear black leggings everyday anymore. I just can’t. I picked up a pair of Rag & Bone’s and a pair of Genetic’s, which feels like wearing a pair of leggings, so how could I go wrong?? Love you, Barney’s. Always have, always will (thanks mandrews).
Oak NYC was also calling. I swear I browse their site daily and drool over pretty much everything. How good has the art direction gone on that site? I better stay away next time I’m in NY or it’s going to be Opening Ceremony all over again. I purchased these Jeffrey Campbell boots for my trek back east next month. I am dying for them to arrive. And for $174, how can you go wrong? I’ve paid more for a pair of Jordan’s in my old streetwear phase. Speaking of, anyone want to buy some Nike’s?
Ok, it’s late and I have training in the morning. I ate Constanze’s homemade macaroni and cheese for dinner tonight. I’m sure that helped…yay!
