I Paid Someone to Tell me What Colors I look Awful In
Plus, Everything I want to Live in this Summer
Hiiiiiiii
SUMMER TIME is near and I guess warm tones are not in harmony with me according to the experts. The experts are in Koreatown. Last month, I stopped by their studio and sat facing a mirror while they laid tons of swatches in the worst colors you can imagine across my chest. I received confirmation cool tones are for me with navy and black being the best. Basically, I have permission to be a summer goth. Yellow, orange and beige are to be avoided at all costs. More of what IS for me down below.
Everything I want to live in this summer:
Let’s all thank GOD for Emily Dawn Long and Mr. Pieter Mulier at Alaïa. Admittedly, I don’t know much about EDL but before too long, I’d like to find out!! The brand has you covered with sexy knits (I KNOW), easy accessories and cool tees. I want to live in everything Emily makes this summer! Los Angeles summers can reach triple-digit highs and when that happens, I want to forget I’m wearing any clothes. You can see that coming through above with the sheerest thin layers and lots of cotton. The theme for me is easy and light.
On my feet, I’m taking the opposite approach. I want the grotesque, the severe, maybe even a little bit ugly. Life is about BALANCE.
A few ugly shoes I want to saunter around in with a big ass piña colada:
Very impractical but that’s what summer is for. All that’s missing is an equally weird shade to paint my toes.
I can’t stop listening to West Coast by Lana on repeat. My jazz collection’s rAARRRRRRE. Anyone have a good summer playlist? Also, I couldn’t put down Keith McNally’s memoir this week and wow what a LIFE! Highly recommend for all you hot people who read. Looking to dip into something a little lighter next. Let me know if you have suggestions.
Thank you for reading,
Jenn
