Joe meets Levi
Back home in Florida where the weather is warm, and space is plentiful!
Wearing my name sake shirt from my fabulous fashion friend Addysen! Thanks for the parting gift, Addy!
G.I. Joe is my camo Prada bag that I'm a little in love with. I was never one for the camo trend, but with such a ladylike bag, you need a whacky print. Plus it's GREY. Yum.
Shorts are Comme des Garcons, another thing I can't get enough of, and also so ladylike that I like to wear a crazy tee with them to tone it down.
Neon sandals (from before neon was IN!) by Christopher Kane. One of my favorite pairs of sandals, proven by the fact that I paid full price for them! (which is rare in Coco's world...)
The bracelet I ordered from some Italian website & I really can't remember at all.
Getting old sucks. I do remember it's a Spanish designer & she's totally rad. That's knowledge enough, right?
Baby Levi courtesy of my sister, Lauren, about six months ago. Thanks to Lauren for a great prop for Joe!

Boot World, Party Time
seasonless, light, comfortable, short, & above all, GRAY!
I rarely pay full price for things, utilizing friends discounts, eBay, & such, but these defy price!
They are my fave new thing & I have a feeling they will need resoled soon...

a dress, a dress, my kingdom for a dress...
I got another new dress yesterday, in the POST--fancy Brit word for mail....
Did I need another dress?
How many dresses do I need?
The answer to those questions, is Yes and A Jillion.
The green is Acne, a fabulous find ON SALE (justification kicks in like a life force...) from this great website that sends a fun reusable tote with your order! BONUS!, yet another justification. It's in Italy (where fab things generally are...) & called Bagheera.
With it, I am wearing my 5-bills, the Loeffler Randall shoes from many moons ago that I HAD to have, and look, I'm still wearing them!!! I think green & camel are divine together.
My new spring bag, from ebay, a Givenchy Nightingale in a wondrous bone color. It's such a cool neutral yet it says a lot more than a general neutral...the wrinkly elephant leather is just too good.
BTW, my Big Tacky Watch by Freelook, and some great necklaces by Jennifer Zeuner.
The blue & white quintessential cut-out sundress is Boy Band of Outsiders.
Such a cool brand. Their lookbook pics are Polaroids...top that! Denton & my mother both were perplexed by the loose threads hanging at the bottom---i had to explain the gorgeous theory of "deconstruction" to them!

Wearing my UES Michele watch, second-hand off ebay, and D-Squared sandals. These sandals are so amazing, they look like Hermes ribbons. I have blogged them before, long ago, but they bear repeating. Plus it was a LOOOOOONG winter and it's sandal time!
The End!
oh! and photos by the ever-talented Denton Taylor!

New Shoes!
Nothing says spring like these candy colored oxfords handmade by Angela Scott!
I saw them at Saks in pastels and ventured to her website where I found these gems!
I also got to meet her at a Saks trunk show & she's just as cute and sweet as her footwear.
Central Park 59th street playground
white oxford shirt by Uniqlo Jil Sander (boooo..why did they stop carrying you???)
navy "double" skirt by Comme des Garcons

oh GARY!
I missed Fashion Week being sick with the flu but I celebrated today with an outfit made possible of course, by Gary Graham. He's the master of the statement piece.
This coat is just fab, with the gorgeous muted color & faded out print. His prints are always the pinnacle of his collections. The back slit is a fun surprise, and let's your dress or trousers peek out from the cold.
Denton went to Fashion Week for me and shot some fun street fashion. I was glad to see neon still hanging in there, since I love it so.

Another sentence....
Just to prove it wasn't a fluke, I made another tee shirt outfit.
Since it's cold and I didn't want to cover the design, I donned my cashmere fingerless gloves. It was actually WAY cold but I am practicing for Spring...
My new Dino bone cuff from Noir was actually the reason for the post....it's sooo good. It's inspired by Disney's Fantasia. I think it could double as a weapon if someone tried to steal my Louis bag as well, so double duty!
The Slimane 68 shirt is the genius of Les Plus Dores, who makes shirts with the designer's birth year as the "team" number. SO clever. I shall wear it to a Super Bowl party, if I go to one...
My Louis speedy bag is a vintage find scored from Ebay long ago. It was my first great win, as I pounced on it at the last minute with my two-screen system....no, it's not patented, but YES it works! It's made in France, not US, which for LV is rad. I buy American.....except for my designer goodies.
The heart necklace is made of marble & super heavy. I can't even remember who made it, but it came from Tuni, so it's gotta be good!
And the best long skirt ever, Comme des Garcons taffeta tulip. It fits almost like trousers....divine.

Life is dangerous, that is why there is a machine gun down my leg
Actually no, I just saw these and loved them. I have no idea why I am drawn to guns and knives and bones and dead animals. I am a happy normal person. But I love this imagery.
Go figure. I got a lot of stares today in the Met, and the guard thought it was a tattoo.
I told him, no, that would be my sister.
Something borrowed & blue! No, thank God I'm not getting married again, it's just I borrowed a blue jacket from my hairdresser, and it came out.
D&G baby blue tuxedo jacket
Gary Graham plaid wool shorts
Jil Sander for Uniqlo white shirt
Tights from China (where else?)
J. Crew suede flats

Great tee, but use it in an Outfit....
I remember in English class being given a word and told to "Use it in a sentence."
This gave it meaning and context.
My goal with my new collection of graphic tees (found thanks to Mitch's online diligence) is to use them in a sentence ie: an outfit, to give them meaning.
Throwing a fab tee on with jeans is fine, but I really want to work them in with my designer pieces to give an outfit a little more "thrown together" look.
Of course in winter, my go-to is brightly colored tights to give a pop to the drabness around me.

Match made in heaven....

Gangstress
Dries, Chanel, and ...... N.W.A....
Yep that's how I roll. My OG friend called me a Gangstress today.
Is that like a lady gangsta? I like it. I'm not quite a lady, not quite a gangsta...
But Gangstress? Mos Def....
To prove it, I was in line at the Met coat check when this 80 year old man tapped me and said "That coat is fabulous." I smiled and thanked him. He turned around and then tapped me again, shook his head and said, "I mean, hot damn!"
Kinda awesome.
Almost as awesome as the photo by Helena Gouros.
