Vaycay Day 5: In the Hood & A Question

So it has been thundering and raining here in Fire Island. My man and I woke up in the night and turned to look at each other in alarm. We were both sitting straight up at the end of the bed like WHAT!? The thunder literally shook the house.

Anyway, I brought exactly one hooded sweater and have worn it every day so far. I love a hood. If I had to choose one item of clothing to represent my spirit - my totem article, so to speak - it would be a black cashmere hooded sweater (worn with the hood up). That says pretty much everything you need to know about my personality; make of it what you will. ; )

So what's your totem article?

Sweat It

I thought I should do a post about what I actually wear every day! Haha [<- also the sound people make in their heads when they see me at the deli everyday in the same outfit]. I guess I can send the haters to this post - look bitches, I am chic!

The center photos above are Isabel Marant pants and Stefanel jumpsuit from left to right - of course only Europeans would take the American sweatpant and make it look so chic. And these are not available online in the U.S. in case you wondered why I wasn't giving up the goods. But here are some other goods for your wardrobe essentials pleasure.


1. Urban Outfitters (on sale) $28
2. American Apparel men's slimfit drawstring (good luck finding this style in women's without a school logo or some horrible branding. As for plain basics -- why does everyone think women want to look like they are going to a yoga class at every moment?) $36
3. American Apparel hoodie tunic $39
4. Tian Mu halter jumpsuit (I HATE the way this is styled but I think it has potential - also, psyched to find this website that specializes in trendy Asian brands) $30.50

Oh Mickey

It makes perfect sense to me that the only tee graphic with any authenticity left (after Urban Outfitters ruined "vintage" tees forever) is from the most tightly controlled licensor in the world. Maybe your BFF Miley can get you a soft grey tee with vintage Mickey doing jazz hands? Because they are impossible to come by.

Since Disney doesn't understand girls over the age of 13, the only covetable item available anywhere on the web (and believe me, I looked) is this men's grey sweatshirt. But I bet size small would be perfect.

Get it here.
