The Calculated Mix

Wow! Italian fashion house MARNI gets better each season. Just saw the Spring '09 collection, which somehow circled back to my love of the "Dries effect" best shown in van Noten's Autumn-Winter 2008 collection. I am consistently impressed with the high level of color, fabric, shape and all-around mixing both these designers achieve.

- Despite the somewhat negative tone of the reporting, I looooooove this!

geta life

Sometimes I find things in pairs -- or I'll happen upon a bunch of similar items in one week. A few months ago, it was all purple pumps. Lately, it's all about Asian footwear.

I almost gave up the geta to the Hello My Friend shop, but my feet refused. They have a beautiful padded silk crepe & felt thong on lightweight wood platform. I was lucky to find these new deadstock. The grass woven slippers have a lovely detail of purple and red yarn woven through the toes. I love wearing these around the house in hot weather. They crunch beneath your feet!
