My dream awaits

STEP AWAY

"ACNE gives you a major style booster that lasts, it's a classic loafer modernized and taken to the next level".I'm sorry did something go wrong mid sentence there? Or was the person writing such a thing either a) blind b) high c) blind and high, because their statement couldn't be further from the truth.

If you had have asked me anytime before laying eyes on these if the gods at ACNE could do any wrong - my immediate answer would have been "absolutely, positively no". I mean after all you've seen the Pistol boot and I'm sure, like many before you, you had to wipe the long line of drool from your mouth afterwards and I'm sure you've seen their simple, yet achingly beautiful clothing as well. ACNE normally get it right every single time, but this time they got it oh so wrong

Don't get me wrong, I am all for different, innovative, look-at-me-i'm-pushing-the-boundaries-of-fashiondesigns, but there's that and then there's insanity. And I'm sorry but these fall directly under the latter category. I like loafer heels, take the Alexander Wang Anais Loafer pumpsfor example.  The consistent height and the seamless design make for a gorgeous shoe.

So how did ACNE get it so wrong? They took the loafer heel too far, tried too hard to be clever and made a shoe that was far too obvious. So instead of being left in awe from their craftsmanship, I'm left saying "we get it, you can make one type of shoe look like another. *slow clap* *bike horn*

Happy Tuesday, Ally, Have an awesome day! xoxox

Bonjour

My pal Kelly Smith, is such a talented artist (Birdy & Me), but I'm 100,000,000,000,000% sure you all knew this already. She worked on this illustration featured on this tee for the new girls line of Tokyo store Bonjour Records.

On her recent trip to Japan she was able to see all her illustrations in person and take some snaps of the store merchandise featuring her "Bonjour Girl". See all her photos here in her most recent blog post.

Happy Tuesday! Ally xo

Enough already

I'm going to go a head here and appoint myself as spokeswoman for the anti-friendship bracelet movement. They have to be one of the most done to death trends in the past twelve months. Whoah, twelve months - who let that happen!?!

Sure they have been one of the most highlighted details at international fashion weeks, seen in numerous publications and most fashion bloggers stepped right on board that damn friendship bracelet train. But I personally think they were better left in my high school box filled with other memories mistakes, like my silver hoop earrings that I'm sure you could have fit your entire head through.

The so called "trend" was cute for all of about 2 minutes when everyone was like "oh, my lost childhood...oh I'm all nostalgic...something, something, please bring the 90's back". But now it's gone on for eleven months too long, if not more.

So, please step away from the useless coloured string/robe/yarn whatever they're made of and invest in something a little more timeless and something that doesn't get ruined at the sight of water.

Happy Monday, Ally

Outfit Post

I love a slouch tee. One that is so buttery soft, it almost feels like you're not wearing anything. I'm wearing Cheap Monday Jean, Who Killed Bambi tee (available here), Steve Madden Wedges and CCS.COM skateboard (oops, obviously not wearing it - but featuring it)

Hope you all had a killer weekend!

Sunset central

Jonathan took these photos this afternoon as the sunset was just too magical to miss. I opened them up in Photoshop to re-size them and I was taken aback by how awesome they were. There is no enhancements whatsoever. We love our new Canon 5D Mark II so much! Such a great investment, that's for sure
