gene on the street

I love this picture of Gene Tierney. If you know anything abut me personally- you know that I love adding a bit of glam to my casual. I think my favorite thing about this is that it looks like it could have been taken by a street photographer today (but it is circa 1946).


I like to think if it were taken today, some of these favorites of mine may have shown up in the shot. (psst: check out the other amazing cacharel shoes at the link below!!)

Adore Tights...

I love the weather around this time of the year, when I fold all my jeans neatly away and start wearing tights...

mymu

First: did you see this yesterday? It was all over twitter. But in case you missed it. very funny.

I am very picky about casual shoes. But I cannot wait to get a pair of these from mymu.
I spent a quite some time on their site yesterday and then chatted with the lovely owner to find out more about the brand.

Turns out these in the last photo (all photography by Andrew Cinnamon) are about to sell out but available here at net-a-porter!

(Tyring to decide between those above or the marisa espadrilles...hmmm)
