l.l. cool j(ulie)

did i ever tell you how cute my friend Julie is? she's got this whole americana thing going on that convinces me the secret to chic lies in an l.l. bean catalog. even though she's my friend and i totally made her take this picture, let's give her the same street style treatment that regular ol' strangers get.

the beauty of this look lies in it's simplicity. there's only 5 things you need to know about this outfit:

1. classic little boy's blazer.


2. basic white tee.


3. simple gray scarf.


4. cuffed just right jeans.


5. and you already know i love her classic clarks.




add accessories; like say, a gold watch and bangle that play off your blazer buttons and a perfectly beat up tote et voila! an outfit you'll never look back and wonder what the hell you were thinking.

today was fun in that i saw two pairs of shoes that i loved. one, a cool classic best friend you can count on and the other, a sexy new exciting lover.




the clark's desert boot always looks good on everyone: man, woman, or child. seriously they can ground a dress or jeans. and from what i hear, you'd have to pry them from tonne goodman's cold dead hands (feet?). when im feeling floppy and casual, i reach for 'em.


i haven't yet purchased any clog boots ... oh--- yes well, clog boots are just what they sound like. here look:



clog-boot girl was traipsing through bryant park. when i stopped her to snap a pic, clog-boot girl's boyfriend said,

"cool boots right?"

damn straight. i particularly love her pant indecision; casually cuffed or open and free? both apparently!
