THE SHOOZ: 3.1 PHILLIP LIM ORA

Ladies + Gentleladies,

the 'Ora': 3.1 Phillip Lim Fall 2013 Collection 

PLATFORM STORM

 Prada's fall 2013 shoe inspired my break-up to make-up with the platform. After a long-term love affair with the minimal, non-platform heel, (still going strong...) this girl is craving inches + ready to strap into some wedges higher than Wiz. 

Prada FW 2013 Footwerq

Stella McCartney for Goodyear FW13

Forecasting the return of the platform for fall thanks to Prada's power steppers + the badass tire-soled biker bootie that tore Stella's fall runway down.

+ more inches + inspo after the break (!)

MOTO MOJO

nothing comes close to the perfect biker jacket. 

EL biker jacket is not only one of my faves but also one of the best winter-to-spring transition pieces. Can't get much better than ripped shorts, booties + a motorcycle jacket... click for mo' moto:

ANIMAL PRINT-STINCTS

Doesn't get much better than a good animal print. 

(...unless you twerk out a 4-in-1 deal a-la-Lanvin pre-fall 13 look 1 below. Stupid purrfect.)

Currently loving some animal action.

The print parade (+ more after the jump!) :

THE JONES : BECAUSE WHO DOESN'T

need a little mid-week summer inspo.
Only the first week of March and I've decided that summer sun, waves, Coronas and beach fires should start yesterday. A little old school + new school surf inspired moodboard :

Disclaimer : This post is pretty aggressive seeing that there's this thing called spring (?) that fits somewhere between today's date and where my head's at, so please proceed with caution (+ don'tchew dare say I didn't warn you.)

Isabel Marant Spring 2013

T by Alexander Wang Resort 2013

Confession : While everyone was busy hopping on the Kate Bosworth bandwagon, I was Blue Crushin' on Michelle Rodriguez style. She is SO I-lost-all-my-fcks-to-give surf, easy, tomboy-cool.
