during my trip to new york, i was hellbent on squeezing in some shopping time amidst our busy tumblr schedule. on this particular day, i convinced sara zucker to take me to the ace hotel to do a bit of shopping at opening ceremony. unfortunately, the chloe sevigny dress that i was so dead-set on getting, was no longer available in my size. boo hoo. so we browsed around and chatted with the shop boy until there was barely enough light out for a proper outfit photo! oh, the trials and tribulations of being a blogger… hah!
so here i am in front of opening ceremony in my outfit for the day. i don’t know if you can make it out in these photos, but i am wearing a silly little kitty pin with googly eyes. and i’m wearing my brand new swedish hasbeens high heeled jodhpur boots. i absolutely love them, but i guess i wasn’t paying close enough attention to the measurements, because they are too small for my feet! i ordered the euro size 38, which translates to an american size 7.5. just a half size too small for my toes! if you’re interested in buying them, shoot me an email and i will give you a deal! update: they’re sold!
hat: thrifted vintage fur hat
dress and coat: asos
gloves: vintage leather gloves
tights: hue cable knit tights
bag: cambridge satchel from modcloth
shoes: swedish hasbeens high heeled jodhpur boots

I LOVE the colours in this! Ah, orange makes me so happy, and it’s such a warm colour to see during winter! I’m obsessing over your bag at the moment. And I can’t really see the Hello Kitty pin, but it looks cute, anyway! x
I love this outfit and the old school feel of it! Just delightful!
which chloe sevigny dress were you interested in? i have seen a few of them popping up on shopbop and la garconne, and they might still be on opening ceremony. i bought the sophie puff sleeve in the black and white floral print and while i am disappointed that it is not lined it is my favorite dress ever! (at least right now)
oh really? i wanted the same dress, but in paisley! http://www.openingceremony.us/products.asp?menuid=2&designerid=224&productid=29132 size medium. let me know if you see it! and i will be sure to keep my eye out for it as well! thanks!
What an amazingly harmonic orange / brown combo… and the last pic is so fun!!! :D Even if its not on focus…

i LOVE sara’s tumblr. she is so fun. i imagine you two had the best afternoon!
I love the colors of this outfit! It’s such a lovely color scheme. And the fur hat and kitty pin are the perfect finishing touches! :)
I think every aspect of this outfit is brilliant: the gloves, the lipstick shade, the pin! The cream details are such a perfect mix with the orange and browns!
This outfit is fantastic on so many levels! Way to rock a fur hat!

I was so excited to make an appearance on your tumblr, by the way! : )

Erin! My most favourtie style blogger of all time who has graciously answered my product queries in the past – I have another question for you (the hasbeens reminded me) You have the sky high t-straps in red, yes? I though I remembered you saying that they run really small – is that right? I missed the ones on modcloth last night, but I found another pair, only it’s a 41. I’m usually right inbetween a 39 and a 40, and I was wondering what your opinion on size was.
And also – when I’m just browsing ASOS I don’t typically find anything that I’m dying over, and yet everytime I see you weat ASOS stuff, I feel like it MUST BE IN MY CLOSET RIGHT NOW. You should probably be some sort of rep, everything from them I’ve bought because of you!
that last photo is the best. you have a gorgeous smile. i love little the kitty pin too.
your outfit rocks! the orange goes great with your outfit.
LOVE THE SHOOESS.
what a lady like outfit. i totally see you playing in mad man ;) – you look adorable.
Adore that coat! Lovely and unusual color. :D
This outfit is just like Audrey Hepburn’s outfit during the shopping scene in Breakfast at Tiffany’s!!!!!
