jacket: Maurice Jones for Geld Iaz, 1997 | dress: Geld Iaz, 2002 | rain/sun hat: Tilley, 2011 | bag: Luba J, 2005
i knew it was going to rain (again) today. i love my new rain hat. apparently it’s "guaranteed for life!" and "insured against loss," whatever the hell that means.
yea this is my irritated wtf-yesterday-was-74-degrees-and-today-it’s-41-fucking-degrees look. i stole this jacket from sweetie, but it’s okay because i still let him wear it every once in awhile. the parka and blazer are actually attached as one piece. it’s even reversible– if you turn it inside out, instead of an orange parka under a black blazer, it looks like a black blazer under a green parka. it’s pretty funky.
you’d probably think one would need only one good tuxedo jacket, but when you finally find one you absolutely looove (and pay somewhat dearly for it as a result), you might discover yourself wanting to save it for very special occasions only, because you’re deathly afraid of ruining or overexposing it or something. and then suddenly you’d realize you actually need two tuxedo jackets— one for "every day" use of course. imagine that. well this is my "every day" tuxedo jacket. i’m just sayin.
here’s that top again, it’s something of a travel staple, it gets to go to all the fun sunny resorts and whatnot. poolside lunch at The Setai. dinner at Cecconi in the Soho Beach House.
a perfect brutally freezing day to sit by the fireplace and enjoy hot brandy-spiked apple cider at The Bowery Hotel. two very good clients happened to be there too. a woman across the way spent the entire time complaining about her boss at LVMH. happy Fashion Week.
