MNG by Mango - Mission # 2


Old postcard


PastedGraphic-1
Note.  This campaign is produced by Style Coalition and sponsored by jcpenney.

Ok let's be very honest. Collages are not exactly my strong point but by God I'd wear this outfit. The mission for me this week?  Create a look that I would wear to Milan, based around an MNG by Mango leather jacket.  (My first mission is here). 

To be perfectly honest, I'd wear this right now in New York - let alone Milan. Actually I think I will....(Karen stares at the Wang bag).  Click here if you want to see where everything is from.

ps. If anyone still wants to possibly join me in Barcelona next month enter HERE.

One of you will be going...

Snake bitten


Heels: Christian Louboutin. Similars here


Snake print is everywhere right now.  

Is it just me or is anything that's already a perennial classic (leopard print anyone) seem to 'make a come back?'

I fell in love with these Louboutins at their sample sale about 2 years ago-ish. They are the only Louboutins I own and to this day they are still my favourite don't f*@k with me heels.  The arch.  The skin wrapped steel heel. The sling back.  Everything is spot on. 

I've only worn them a handful of times but will post pics with them in a few days and I would hope, beyond when the snake print trend goes out.

Running around in flats



Read on for what I wore for the rest of the week.

Men's club


Mens brogues: Florsheim Imperial (white ones here).  This whiskey one is sick too.  For reference: Mine are men's size 7. 5 and I wear women's US size 10.  If you prefer womens brogues try these. 


My old new wing tip brogues.  Scored at a local vintage shop. 

I have wanted a good pair of proper men's brogues for ages.  Up until now, every pair I've seen are always too big.  Now I sit on the train wearing thes, legs crossed and looking at men wearing similars and it feels like a girl joining the men's club. 

They fit over sized and have a good weight to them that women's versions just do not have.

ps. Follow me on twitter here where I'm posting what I'm wearing in addition to this blog. It's a lot of waist down but heck - you get the idea.

Distractions


shoes



I don't need any of these so of course that means I'm currently obsessing. 

Top row: Aldo Roger Wedge 
Center row: Theyskens' Theory 
Bottom row: YSL Opyum 

Heel covering or cropped drainpipes works with them all.  Add an oversized thin knit and your done.

All these are on the Vogue/Polyvore/FNO site for the Vogue shoot I told you about last week (Grace Coddington views collages this week). Like I said before, if any reader here wins let me know. Enter your collage here
