. . . a new pair of white strappy summer wedges earlier last week, for traipsing about town and blossom-laden walks with the dog, the third pair of wedges already this spring, and summer has yet to begin, and yet, after happening across these utterly charming prada platforms {above}, perfectly paired with pressed trousers turned in an ultra-chic french cuff in the most enchanting shade of august sunrise, am becoming quite smitten with platforms and their teetering heights and already imagine them with romantically flirty & lacy summer dresses for quiet lunch dates on cobbled terraces surrounded by spring flower boxes of pussy willows and daffodils . . .

{favourite five: chloë sevigny}
. . . chloë sevigny, actress, fashion celebrity and muse to alber elbaz at lanvin, dolce and gabbana, stefano pilatie, and yves saint laurent, set herself apart with her much-celebrated and unrivaled style choices long before the existence of street-style blogs; her often eclectic and always fearless approach to fashion and design also spills over into the rooms of her home, resulting in, perhaps, the most talked about hallway in design blog history . . .
. . . one of the 50 most influential people in new york fashion, sevigny has just unveiled a brand new line for opening ceremony, and today, she shares with us:
five favourite prints
1. polka dots
2. leopard
3. paisley
4. houndstooth
5. floral
. . . these are the five prints chloë has loved since she was a teen, and she tells us they are the “prints she has always come back to” -- so much so, that they have also been incorporated into her new line, showing that a touch of classic pattern splashed over modern design always results in something glamorous . . .
