what do you do IRL?
I make music. I also really enjoy cooking and driving, therefore drooling at parked cars and eating too much.

Vanessa was such a great sport (and super excited about this vintage car parked outside the Brooklyn store!).
In the spirit of our first IRL of the summer, she decided to choose several looks to go from beach to brunch, to performance perfect.
Look 1
why did you choose this look?
Edgy but timeless as if Fellini made a movie starring the Clash. (the car helped).
what she's wearing:
- Carmen piped swim halter, black $88
- Carmen piped button swim brief, black $98
- Kaleidoscope scarf, $98
- Wyeth hobo (sold out), black $475
Look 2
why did you choose this look?
The silk, leather, bag, jewelry and cuff...oh my! I don't generally like prints, but there is something about this simple tank that changed that. So easy, but sophisticated. It really felt like I was able to marry my style with this collection and that I wouldn't tire of the look.
what she's wearing:
- Michi silk tank, kaleidoscope $98
- Biblio bag, black $558
- Emile indexer, yam $98
- Sparc claw necklace, silver $275
- Pade Vavra Indian Sunset ring, $160
- Oh, Humidity! steel cuff, $160
Look 3
why did you choose this look?
The Blake dress is beyond itself with that couture cut waist line. Wow. Not to mention the brilliant color and that zipper. Again, the sophistication.
what she's wearing:
- Blake dress, grenadine $198
- Boudoir silk scarf, black/cream $98
- Lava cuff, black/poppy $98
- HH clutch wallet, black onyx $170
And a special surprise! We showed Vanessa our Fall10 apparel collection at the Brooklyn studio. She totally flipped over everything and we totally flipped over her look, so we asked her to style a few IRL looks for Fall10 as a special style preview for our loyal mailing list.
Our Fall10 favorites?
Leather leggings, leather tunic dress, and a zippered leather mini styled with printed velvets inspired by a crime scene, pistol smoke print sheer chiffon, a lacy vest, and a wool peplum pencil skirt ala fellini's dolce vita? Check, check, check.
