The Look: Lanvin Pre-Fall '14
I spent the weekend (and Monday too) in my New Balance 574s, Levi's 501s, and white American Apparel T-shirts, because sometimes dressing like a cool dad is just the palate cleanser your wardrobe needs.

I'd also really like a time when I could spend all day lounging with a cat.
The Song: "Like Herod" - Mogwai
A twinkling and beautiful prelude becomes hardcore and head bang-worthy at the snap of a finger in this 1993 song by Mogwai. Something to offset all the prettiness I'm feeling today.
