I love the new Rachel Comey Bimini boot. The blunt toe combined with the laces and ankle strap with cutout almost seems too much but they work perfectly. And the seventies flared wood heel is my new favorite. I hope she uses it in her fall footwear collection as well. They are $404 at Totokaelo.
The spring/summer Isabel Marant collection is one of her best by far. I have been coveting nearly every single piece but have yet to buy anything. I am totally in love with the Rolf sweater in red from the Etoile line ($400) and was super annoyed to see Kate Bosworth arriving at LAX last week wearing it...AND with an enormous Isabel Marant shopping bag IN the airport.
THEN she shows up walking around LA the very next day in the exact same sweather in a different color!!
It's hard not to hate her.
(P.S. The sweater also comes in a cardigan version with zip, which might actually be more practical. I'm going to Odessa in Portland this week to check it out.)
My friend Marti blogged recently about all of the items she would buy with infinite means. It got me thinking about the handbag that has been foremost in my mind although furthest from reality: Sofia Coppola for Louis Vuitton. This is one of the promotional photos on the LV website, no doubt shot by Sofia herself. I love the cobalt but would take any color...IF that is I could afford the absurd $4000 price tag!! Even if I could, spending that much on a bag sort of makes my head spin (especially without some CCs on it). Doesn't make it any less pretty though.
Sofia's muse Kirsten Dunst has been out and about in LA sporting it.
And then the director/designer herself at NYFW with Kirsten of course but luckily Kiki brought a different bag.
It's a really simply designed bag but like Sofia herself (and her movies) the simplicity of the design is what makes it. Would love to see it in person.
Also, check out what my friend Marti is dreaming of.
