neu







As I type this I can hear torrential rain outside my window. It's been nasty. Wind, ice cold rain piercing my face and the sun setting before it even rises. Here are some things that made today a little bit brighter. My Azzedine Alaïa's and wannabe-Wang-sunnies arrived! It was a pretty funny sight seeing these two items next to one another--the very essence of high meets low, covetable and collectible pieces meets fast and disposable fashion. Check out the sunglasses though. Not too shabby!

P.S. OK babes, I admit. I've been lagging on emails, keeping in touch, answering questions on my Formspring and posting DIYs. This will be remedied as soon as some of the temporary craziness ends (exams, school and such)! In the meantime, feel free to say hi on Twitter.

@ Annabel Xulin
they're azzedine alaia's. they're secondhand off ebay and got them at a very fair price (surprised there wasn't a bidding war)

The patent leather of the Alaias is gorgeous, would love to see them on! They look incredibly high. And the sunglasses are badass.

When I saw the sunglasses, I was like "No you didn't..." before I read that they weren't the "real deal". They look exactly like the real ones!

Talia said...

ROBINE said...

Wow, I'm so jealous on your shades. They are perfect! Your new shoes are very cute

Have a nice weekend!

Glad you approve of the nude Margielas, let's hope they see the light of day soon. Though as I'm writing this all I see from my office window is white so chances of that are pretty slim...

Your Alaias are amazing, I myself am stalking eBay/yoox for my first pair of Alaia wedges for summer. I hope I have half your luck with eBay!

Look at us with our nude-colored shoes, so on-trend for spring ;-)

Sara said...
