in with the old, in with the new

in life, i think it's important to always enhance and refresh, but never to lose our sense of self. here are some new takes on some classic styles:

-classic-

authentic original 2-eye boat shoe [sperry top-sider, $75]

-with a twist-

metallic authentic original 2-eye boat shoe [j crew, $98]

i own these and i am obsessed with them!

-classic-

original wayfarer [ray ban, $145]

-with a twist-

wayfarer rare prints [ray ban, $139]

-classic-

tailored double breasted trench [burberry, $975]

-with a twist-

an exclusive design by christopher bailey and parisian store colette

of course, i love the unexpected shine of the metallic sperrys (i mean, i own them after all!), the boldness of the rare print ray bans, and the glitz of the "new" trench. but i caution you to take a lesson from burberry: move forward, but never forget your beginnings. celebrate them! see the history of the trench here.
