A rare occurrence of sun in March graced us all here in Vancouver. So me and my beautiful friend ( of www.reallyliteral.blogspot.com ) decided to shoot in Stanely Park to celebrate the acquisition of her new Jeremy Scott jacket.

My outfit today really had no inspiration, I kind of felt like Kris Van Assche S/S 13 and a bit Pelayo Diaz though.

Shopping Problems

So 2 weekends ago I went shopping (quel surpris), and I bought a bag. The bag I bought was a Maison Martin Margiela bag, classic, neutral, whatever. When purchasing the bag I went through the usual symptoms of, excitement, death, happiness, & death. I was thinking that the bag was a classic shape, super functional, will go with everything & very versatile. The second I got it I wore it religiously for almost 2 weeks, I wore it cross body, over the shoulder, in my hand. I wore it a million and one different ways day in and day out.

(said bag)

Now, the reason I am writing this is solely because of my case of accessories ADHD. I do not understand how most people buy 1 designer bag and wear the absolute sh*t out of it, I would get so bored! I understand that designer bags don't come around very ofter, so you should be very grateful for the one(s) you have. However, 2 weeks into my love affair with (said bag) I catch myself having thoughts about other bags. Thoughts about clutching the big handles of a Proenza Schouler PS11 Tote, or draping the strap of a Balenciaga Courier across my torso. I know they are sinful thoughts, but they are alive and well and carousing around my head. 

I finish with this, is it normal to always want more then what we have. To keep searching for something else when we have so much in front of us?

I suppose that closing statement could apply to more then just bags, but lets just be superficial for now and talk about Margiela.

MMM Inspiration

This weekend I purchased my first piece from Maison Martin Margiela, seeing as it was a big purchase the effects of it rubbed off onto my personal style. I tried to channel the house but putting together an ensemble with elements that to me are quintessential Maison Martin Margiela, denim, camel & white.

Denim Jacket - Lee
Camel Double Breasted Blazer - My Sister's Closet
Black Raw Hem Jeans - H&M
Shoes - Hermès
Glasses - Joseph Marc

I absolutely love how the blazer almost looks like a pleated skirt when worn with my denim jacket. The tromp l'oeil effect was completely unintentional and I didn't realize it until I walked out the door this morning.

An easy look for the first day of the week, I will save my ball gown for Friday.

Hope your weeks are off to a great start !
