grazia.it recently asked me to style up two denim looks: since this trend is not in my go-to comfort zone, it was a fun challenge. ended up putting together two similar-but-different ensembles, composed of the sort of staples that almost everyone has laying around: slouchy jeans and stripey tees. click over to grazia to see more!!

{ in print }

i'm really loving the cool printed dresses in proenza schouler's pre-fall lineup (above, via style.com). thinking the look could be approximated right now, by attacking a printed vintage gem with some creative (asymmetric!) hemming, or by integrating any one of the babies below into your life. either way, pair it with a burnt sienna belt, black socks and the tallest, toughest boots you've got:
