Last week at dinner, my sister and I started talking about personal price thresholds for things in general. I mentioned how I read about women who spend $1200 on a jar of face moisturizers in a magazine earlier that day and I said that as obsessed I am about skincare, I will never pay more than $200 for a facial product.

When I was younger, I had lofty rockstar dreams. I wanted to be like Kurt Cobain and Alanis Morissette. So I taught myself guitar and tried writing songs. I had good lyrics but not music because I soon realized that as much as I love music, I am not very musically inclined. I can’t sing and I can’t carry a beat. So you know, double FAIL…

Gender-blending is something designers like Rick Owens and Ann Demeulemester do very well. But what looks good on a model on a runway does not automatically translate in everyday life. This brings me to this pair of suede boots or rather wedges from Rick Owens.

From Margiela’s Artisanal Collection ‘0’- a brown leather caged armour jacket woven from a thick lattice of dark leather handmade in Margiela’s Parisian atelier.
