you taught me how to live in the streets of shame

Wearing: Amber Sakai lace back top, Junkie Fit Distill Die Kill City jeans via MARKETHQ, Matiko TYs via Solestruck, necklace by 495 DM, mixed rings by Vero Moda, Chloe loves Charlie and from Rohini. 

This is what I wore a few days ago to go visit the offices of this amazing new luxury online retail store (more on that soon) for some meetings and a quick look-see through the stock. This gorgeous Amber Sakai top is the perfect for when you want to look casual and laid back but also have a little fun with what you're wearing. The back is all black lace and its got a great slouchy fit (without hitting that point of overwhelming bagginess that almost never looks put together for when you're trying to look semi presentable in front of people over the age of 22). 

I tried to keep the tone of semi-casual intact with these sick Kill City jeans (via my forever beloved MarketHQ obviously, HELLO) and the pictures really don't do their sheer ridiculousness justice(they've got this crazy awesome tie dye effect on the side) and I'm going to post more detailed photos soon. The shoes are obviously via Solestruck and are by Matiko (love these guys). They're comfortable enough to actually walk in for hours and the whole stark monochrome situation is pretty epic as well. Can't complain! 

Major fashion weeks worldwide may be wrapping but Wills India Fashion Week right here in good ol' Delhi  starts next weekend and I'll be live tweeting and such. Excited to see whats in store this season. Speaking of fashion weeks, how hilarious is the whole Balenciaga bench-breaking scenario? Can you imagine Anna Wintour, Catherine Deneuve, the Traina sisters, Francois Henry Pinault, Alexandra Shulman, Salma Hayek, etc. crashing to the floor? Pretty comic in light of the faux austerity of the whole European fashion week situation. 

I'm finally through the most crucial mid terms of my life (but no pressure) and tomorrow is my last day of school before I get a week off which I will spend recouping and generally trying to remember what being a functioning human being is like. 

Some fun pictures from the Lacoste blogger preview event I attended with a few others last week coming soon as well!

UNITED NUDE PIN

The United Nude PIN

One of the coolest ankle boots I've worn in a while. I got these in New York and have been dying to post these up. The cutouts make it completely weather-versatile and the buckles are just big enough to add some structure without looking tacky. Though of course, the over the most striking feature is the "pin" heel. Thank god and the designers Rem & Galahaad for the slight platform and the sole padding, making them surprisingly easy to walk around in. 

United Nude consistently churns out innovative collections, always with an overlying structural element to it, perhaps owing to the designers' architectural background. The shoes are evidently interesting and unique but   maintain wearability that wasn't solely created for the runway, editorials and lookbooks. 

They're intensely global distribution and obvious international appeal is evident from their 40 worldwide stores, everywhere from Amsterdam & New York to London, Vienna and Guangzhou. They effortlessly surpass cultural trends to create an enigmatic, fun and well-crafted product. 

I recommend heading over to UNITED NUDE and checking their new A/W 11' collection out for yourself. There's even a new version of a double flap PIN. I believe they also stock in Solestruck (enter at your own risk though- they're a freaking minefield of swoon inducing shoes). Seriously, and maybe you can help a sister and buy a pair or two for me as well.
