Winter Greys

Cocktail Dresses at theOutnet
Boots by KORS

I really really love the color Grey. I love that it can look either utterly elegant or completely schoolgirl casual. In fact I've just picked up a super cute knee-length grey pleated skirt (scholastic in every way and on SALE for $12) along with a fab pair of grey ribbed legwarmers. Yes, legwarmers! Can't wait to wear them!

Random Hump Night Binges

Y'all, first of all, my sincerest apolomagies for not Binging as hard or efficiently as I have in the past. I've been blogging my ass off for work, and while my heart remains in the Binge, work, well, pays the bills. Ah tries mah hardest to come up with some fun, semi-thoughtful and cohesive, subject-driven posts with lots of fun shit to look at/ buy/ dream about, but that's the Type A-er in me. At the risk of creating Bingeorexia and leaving you starving without much Binge at all, perhaps I should try being more Type B and just throw some shit up there? Your thoughts in the comments -- less frequent posts with more ZING or more frequent with less ZIP, if you will?

Okay, that said, here are three random Binge wants on this Hump Night (the night OF hump day, and not, to say, a night during which I'm humping, because I'm not, because I'm blogging. Ew. "Humping" is gross but funny!)

($99, Anthropolgie)

Oh, Anthro, you heartless, overpriced little bitch. Your sales are hardly even. Yet you keep drawing me back in.

($140, Nine West)

My ongoing love affair with grey heels continues. These are perfect summer shoes (with easy warm-to-cool seasonal conversion capabilities!) and almost have a Chie Mahara feel. But cheaper!

($175, Brian Bowie, Refinery29)

This messenger bag is supposed to be for guys (which fulfills one of my Type A goals of doing more men's stuff on the bolg), but I'd rock dat. Each bag is handmade by designer Bryan Bowie (best last name ever!!!! besides Rockwell) and thoughtfully comes with a detachable laptop case. Noice! They're supposed to be available at Bowie's site, Nostalgiecloth.com, but that site looks like it's slightly busted, so yell at Refinery29 and not me, k?

JACKETS: PART 2: Everybody In Great Grey Coats!

A follow-up post to my grey coats post, part I from the other day, in descending order of prostitution location.


Turnin' Tricks At Soho House:

(Apprx $1248 USD, Alexander Wang, Brownsfashion.com)

Via Catwalkqueen. This coat by Alexander Wang, who is fucking everywhere right now is a work of art. I wouldn't know whether to wear it (and risk dripping coffee on it, as I so inevitably do on the walk to the train at least two out of five mornings a week) or have it mounted and framed and hang it above my bed.

Turnin' Tricks At The Time:

($594, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Bleuclothing.com)

Also a thing of pristine beauty, although nowhere near as gorgeous as the Alexander Wang jacket. It could be winter forever if I had that to keep me warm.


Turnin' Tricks At The Hotel On Rivington:

($232, Plastic Island, Blondette.com)

So simple and little girl chic without being too barfy cutesy pie.


Turnin' Tricks At The Times Square Hilton:

($139, Asos.com)

I absolutely love this jacket, both because and despite the fact that it's named for my favorite trashionista namesake, Lindsay Lohan. And it's waaaaay cheaper than a Mike & Chris, which it totes looks like.



Turnin' Tricks In A Port Authority Bathroom:

($68, Roxy, Tillys.com)

Roxy would usually never be my thing, but this plaid grey coat is too cute. Tillys and Roxy -- who knew?

JACKETS: PART 1: Everybody In Great Grey Coats!

I'm covered (I wish, literally) in coat choices for what I PRAY is any impending cold weather.
This is my top pick:

($655, Robert Rodriguez, Active Endeavors)
Pristine, though at $655, it's no steal.




($640, Rick Owens Lilies, Net-a-porter.com)
... Or save yourself $15 and go for this amazingly chic yet comfy-looking Rick Owens Lilies wrap. I wanna snuggle up into it and hibernate 'til this God-awful humidity passes.



So... some more eco(-nomically)-friendly options:


($343, French Connection, Asos)
Very Sgt. Pepper's chic.




($308, Mike & Chris, Revolveclothing.com)
Ahhh... Mike & Chris. I'd make some lame fratty joke about the two men I'd most like to be between, but a.) that's lame, b.) I'm too tired to think and c.) Chris actually stands for Christine.



($145, Chan Chan, Asos)
Totally the type of trench you'd wear nothing under. If you're that type of trench-wearer.



($148, Free People, Urban Outfitters)
Highly cute.


(Apprx $170 USD, Topshop)
The Jackie O. look isn't me, but this is still darling.



($319, Walter, Saks Fifth Avenue)
Very uptown.


($49, Max Azen, Modcloth.com)
Vintage, very back-to-basics staple.


($36, Coffee Shop, Nordstrom)
Adorable twist on a standard trench, and the PRICE! Eeee!




($38, Forever 21)
Awesome Mike & Chris knock off!!



($29, Old Navy)
Finally... so no one will mistake this for the Robert Rodriguez version, but it's still really cute.
