4725mag's daily fashion essentials: faux fur and pom poms - the best fabrics and textures of fall

We rely a lot on mixing up our accessories, mostly meaning shoes, to breathe new life into our look. This week was no different. These ASOS heels stay within our trusted neutral palette, yet they play wonderfully with different textures and have a totally walkable heel. 


We'd love to claim we are a heels everyday kind of gal, but that'd be some straight bs. More often than not, we're all about a solid sneaker. After being on a white sneaker kick for a while, adding in this splash of color, courtesy of COMME des GARÇON Play x Converse, was just the step into color play we needed to liven things up for fall.


It's been a hair in a low and messy bun with simple, minimal jewelry kind of week (actually, that's most weeks). I'd be lost without mini Scünci claw hair clips and simple earrings like these Madewell, copper, gold and silver micro hoops. 


These hot pink and maroon Banana Republic tassel pumps are way out of our usual comfort zone, and actually, BR's usual design comfort zone come to think of it. However, with enough dark neutral fall-winter layering they can act as a bright accent to see us through colder seasons. And they were just that on a drab, drizzly Bay Area day this week.


We adore this rich jacquard tapestry kimono from Zara. Perfect for layering over a white tank - which is how we wore it this week as it's still hot here in Oakland, even though we're doing a fall weather dance to the gods on a nightly basis. Can't wait to layer this with a turtle neck, boots and chunky scarves later into the year.

I'm a girl and I don't like Girls

Image
At work when the show first aired, it often came up in casual conversation.  "Did you watch Girls last night? Oh my God! Can you believe THAT happened?! And [insert character name] did that?!" I would look blankly on as the conversation became more animated, often more high pitched in tone and then state with blunt candor,  "I don't like Girls" . In doing this, I always halted the excitement and raised suspicion. As if it's my expected duty, being the owner of a vagina, to not question and to only champion the show.  Ima ge  credit .  I chose this bummed looking pic of Hannah, but I'm sure she actually wouldn't give a shit about this POV.                                                                                         I decided after watching a couple of episodes, in a fairly casual way, that I didn't like the show and my TV watching time would go to shows I preferred. I would openly share that positioning during those af

Standing with Planned Parenthood and anyone affected by the 2016 election

Image
Like a lot of people, I was rocked to my core by the outcome of the recent election. A couple of weeks on, I still don't feel normal. But that is ok, I don't want to let go of that. Because if this ever does feel  normal,  I would've become desensitized to this situation. I would've accepted the madness and stopped caring about what actually makes sense to me in this world. And because of that, I never want to forget that November 9th feeling. However, I did have to come to terms with the reality that the world did not stop turning that night. And despite the exhaustion, the desire to ignore the news, hibernate for a few years and blank out the world, realize that now is the time we actually have to find the energy, from somewhere, and get to  work . Part of my getting to work process entails  a few things . One of which was having these pins made. All sales profits will go to Planned Parenthood, an indispensable, absolutely vital and under threat service i

A story of love, hate and sore armpits; a recent shop Goop order reviewed

Image
I receive Goop newsletters and follow Goop on Twitter. Their minimal, clean and simple aesthetic speaks to the me I want to be if I wasn't the me that I actually am .  Depending on my mood I can either love or hate Goop. My cynical and easily annoyed side is roused while reading their often ridic' "Do" health and wellness section. You can find me actually LOL-ing and audibly tsk-ing as I devour vaginal steaming, shower head detoxing and I eat only raw, sprouted and liquidized things articles on my commute in a "I can't believe this is real, but here I am reading it, shit" fashion. But then on the flip side (perhaps we can blame the moon, or something, for this?) you'll find my wide-eyed side, my side that falls pray to buy yourself the perfect life subliminal messaging (#Taurus), throwing down her credit card, virtually, in a fully committed, passionate pursuit of the glowing, hydrated, ethical, well rested and detoxified life promised to h
