OBSESH: SADDLE UP

I was greatly inspired by the Sartorialist’s photos on Governor’s Island. The outfits are divine- romantic, vintage, crisp, flattering and the menswear inspired oxfords, wing tips and saddle shoes really jumped out at me. After seeing my styley friend Esther receive a pair of retro saddle shoes as a birthday present, I knew there was something to this obsesh of mine.

And is anyone else completely obsessed with the shoes by Cole, Rood and Haan? They are beyond words, especially the Breezers!

So here’s a list of great looking saddle or saddle inspired shoes (in order from top to bottom):

  1. Burda by Taryn Rose $253.00
  2. Gin Mill by Cole, Rood & Haan $295.00
  3. Saddle Oxford by BDG $48.00
  4. Tapeet by Vicini $248.00
  5. Tuxxedo by Steve Madden $79.99
  6. Retro Saddle Shoe (not pictured) $79.00

you’re gonna need to sit down: sonia rykiel for h&m

SONIA RYKIEL H & MSonia Rykiel’s collections are my dream wardrobe come to life! Here aesthetic is girlish, whimsical and clever and the COLORS! Oh boy. So when read this press release on H&M’s website, I was over the MOON.

Her collaboration with H&M will launch the first part of its two part installment on December 5, 2009 and will extend to lingerie and accessories. This development is an absolute coup for long time fans of Rykiel’s who have never had the luxury of a $700 cardigan.

I will report when images surface!
