French for less

Not quite as nice as APC, but good enough. I've been combing through ebay, finding less expensive alternatives to some APC favorites.

I hate nantucket red in most clothing, but I love how it looks on moccasins.

APC: $270

Dexter moccasins on ebay: $9.99

Braided leather bracelets. You might think "surfer dude aesthetic" right off the bat, but these could go SUPER well with feminine, clean, and light spring/summer outfits. Thinking cropped shorts, button downs, striped tees, easter colors.

APC: $70

Ebay: $3.75 for two

Again, these alternatives are not nearly as nice, especially when it comes to crucial detailing and quality of material, but still, I am poor and superficial, and they will do for now.

Chloé: S09 RTW

I've been meaning to post about Chloé's Spring '09 Ready-To-Wear collection, but I'm pretty much a lazy fuck, so. Yeah. Here are my favorite looks:






At times, things get a little too frilly/feminine for my taste, but overall a solid aesthetic.

not to be a douchebag, but

I am kind of digging Chloë Sevigny's Fall '09 line for Opening Ceremony.
