RAW TO THE BONE






Margiela sweater, vintage Thrasher t-shirt, vintage distressed leggings, Chloe Sevigny x Opening Ceremony buckle wedges, Jil Sander sunglasses, Jas M.B. leather tote. Accessories: sterling silver eagle ring courtesy of Alberto Juan, Chanel cocktail ring, custom Donald Pywell sterling cuff, sterling crow skull pendant by Blue Bayer, Forever 21 cross ring.




Not too much going on with this look, which is what I like about it. Limited time and that post-pregnancy in-between-sizes figure is pretty constricting to my wardrobe, but I have to say it's been a nice reprieve. I've had this Thrasher shirt for years and it's basically threadbare. It was cool enough this morning to wear the Margiela sweater over it, but by mid-afternoon the sun was beating. It's September ... will the East Coast heat end already?



I really am not too into posting pictures of my kid online .. something about it doesn't sit right with me and it's not relevant to this blog. However, I love this shot of him with his daddy:



I can't believe Bobby and I turned out such a blonde baby! For two very small people, he's also a big boy. We adore him. More soon! xo

SWEET CHILD OF THE RIPPERBON






vintage sweater courtesy of Kitami Ropa, Chloe wedge boots, gifted 3-finger brass pyramid stud ring by Adelina Mictlan, Alexandra Cassaniti money bag, Ray Ban aviators.




Big thanks to Kitami Ropa for sending me this 80's vintage mohair sweater. I chose this piece because I was really into the kitschy leather Egyptian detailing. The tag says "Dino Valiano - Made in Western Germany." I think this probably would've looked better with my Miu Miu clogs, but it was raining today so I pulled out the Chloes instead.



These boots were an a/w '09 purchase, and I think they'll hold up quite nicely through this season as well. The only minor complaint I have is the complete absence of a platform, which makes for some tricky downhill walking. With a platform, however, I think they might start to look too much like Sketchers. The cream laces and the folded shaft pretty much make the shoe. People tend to either really love or really hate these boots; I love them.




This 3-finger ring by Adelina Mictlan is my new favorite gold-tone piece. Ms. Mictlan recently had some pieces showcased at my hair salon in South Philly, and I was completely blown away by what I saw. Her work is on-trend while still maintaining the distinctiveness of her vision. I can tell a lot of thought was put into this design, and I really appreciate that. The rings are positioned in a way that makes for easy movement of the fingers ... I don't have any trouble changing diapers with this on. The brushed finish is appropriately understated, and the brass has yet to turn me green (and I turn very quickly), so I know she uses high-quality materials. Definitely someone to keep an eye on! The spiked bracelet is a piece of junk jewelry from ebay ... I also have it in silver. These tend to be pretty cumbersome, so it was in my purse by noon.

My boy has been fed so now I'm off to make tacos for my husband ... more soon! &hearts

LOVE IS FOREVER



The reason I have been so exceedingly absent is because on August 26th, my husband and I were blessed with this beautiful little boy, Robert Joseph Liebling. We have been on cloud nine and are so very much in love with our son. I sincerely apologize for my negligence and I promise everyone's emails, private messages, etc. will be returned as soon as possible. Designers who have sent me things to style on here, I will start shooting again very soon. I thank everyone so very much again for the abundance of support and understanding we have received in this joyous time. The amount of precious cards, packages, emails, meals (!!), and various other congratulations has been overwhelming and truly means the world to us all. This site is still very much a priority of mine and I will resume regular posting very soon. Thank you so much again for the kindness and well-wishes. Much love &hearts
