Shirt dress: Young, Fabulous & Broke. Shoes: ACNE. Bag: Forever 21. Zip Bracelet: Tay Trong
Before I get harpooned to death, let me preface that I did wear my faux black leather mini skirt.
These pics were taken in a rush and mr photographer is like: “oh it’s fine. it’s fine. I’m not running back to the house for the skirt now. Grab it when we go back in-doors.” I’m thinking: “how the f**k can I run out without it? I must be losing it”
Anyway I digress… Here are the ‘skater boots’ a la Alexa Chung. I had these stretched for a few days. Bring on Fall.

    karen! love the shoes! i just bought a pair myself but i am usually a size US 7. i just ordered a size 38. i’m worried that they’ll be tooo big. i usually fit a 37.5 in other shoes like Chloe but i am a 37 in topshop. SO CONFUSING! i’d like your input as i read your size 40 was too small. thank you again <3

    anon – yes they are although they are tight on me cuz they are a size smaller than I normally wear so mine had to be stretched.

    I’ll prolly stretch them once more.

    Annabel – I got them at the ACNE store which is easy to get to in NYC.

    Tay – you know it ; )

    Antonia – thank you! Dark eyes is my all time fave look.

    oh dear me – that’s THE best word I think for them….

  29. Sookeh says:

    Hey! what do you mean by had them “stretching” for a few days? I hate a pair of wedge platforms too that are my size, but a little tight :/ i tried stuffing them with paper but it didn’t really work…

    :/

  33. LIZ-piration says:

    Those shoes go hard.. how comfortable are they? xo

  34. Karen says:

    It’s early days plus mine are a bit tight but overall they are ok. I think with time they will feel better. IF you get your size, then they are fine.

    Sookeh – at a shoe repairers…

    Ashley – no he doesn’t have a site to buy the bracelets. If you’d like his email to speak to him directly just send me an email. Be prepared for alot of comments if you get one and wear it.

    Jessica – thanks. I love that necklace. its like a little metal jewelled coin purse with a metal hinged lid.

  35. Krystal says:
