“I love this jacket. The sleeves can come off.” Definition: The Full Monty:
A British slang phrase. It is generally used to mean “everything which is necessary, appropriate, or possible; ‘the works’”
. . .
The first time that I met Melodie was in 2012 backstage for the Rodarte and the Theyskens Theory show. She said to me: “I know you. You have a blog.” From then onwards we started chatting and stayed in touch.
“I am a shoe girl. I think I have almost every brand possible.
These Valentinos are a little bit f**cked up now. They were my dream shoe for a long time. I’m so happy that I have them. You know how men need a car to say I made it? To me my Valentinos were that.”
Jacket: Consignment
“It had buttons but I removed them. I loved the different ways that you can wear it with the buckles.”
Jacket: Custom
“I have this hand made jacket. It’s really cool. I had it on my show card when I first started. “
“I got this from the store in Sweden. I actually work a lot there. I got lucky because it was almost half price.”
Bag: Celine
“This is my baby. I got it in Miami at a multi-brand store called The Alchemist.”
Shoes: Miu Miu
“These are one of my first expensive shoes. They hurt my feet like crazy. I’m 6ft something when I put them on. They give you a really sexy leg so it gives you a good walk at castings. They’re kinda classic but cool with the studs.”
“My cat’s name is Brooklyn.”
Shoes: Saint Laurent
“These are really amazing. I saw them during fashion week and said I need those. I don’t wear them so much because they are not comfortable. I feel I need a nude shoe next.”
“This I just got. It’s so cool with just a white t-shirt. You can adjust the straps.”
“I like the look of it worn open but it looks really cool buckled.
The leather is really soft too. It looks stiff but it’s not. It’s handmade for you for $100. To me it looks more expensive than it is.”
Skirt: Vintage
“I got this at a vintage shop in Paris. For some reason I find it easier to find stuff over there.”
NIKE ID
“These are so simple and I had to write something on the back!”
Where are your fave places to shop?
“I go crazy in the Saint Laurent shop. If I go to Soho I go to Celine, Intermix and I like Blk Denim.
I like Reformation too. I love shopping in Paris, especially shopping for lingerie. They have really good stuff there. I also love to shop in la Marais. It’s nice, you can stop, have a croissant/coffee etc.
I LOVE shopping in Stockholm. They have so many cool brands like Hunky Dory and Bik Bok that do really cool leather pants. People are so nice when you shop there. ACNE is amazing there, they have old collections in their archive from past seasons for you to buy.
They have stuff at their H&M that you can’t always find at other H&Ms. In Paris there’s always the brands like Sandro, IRO and Maje. In New York I’m in Soho. In Paris I’m in the Marais.
Can we please get some social media links for Melodie!? Her style is so similar to mine. She won me over with the Valentino story because I feel 100% the same way (only I have to yet own a pair… sigh). This is by far my favorite Full Monty. Keep up the amazing work Karen.

oh that’s interesting. I will say that there’s always someone we’ll relate to more so every time I feature someone that will probably happen.
