replacement

"that's the secret to life.... replace one worry with another...."

- charlie brown

for whatever reason style.com has replaced scott schuman (left) with tommy ton (right).  although many bloggers out there have found this ludicrous, the latter very proudly announced it as "the big unveil".  if you're a street shooter out there, keep at it - perhaps in two years it will be your turn?

hot flats??

"roaming through the jungle of 'oohs' and 'ahs,' searching for a more agreeable noise, i live a life of primitivity with the mind of a child and an unquenchable thirst for sharps and flats."

- duke ellington

who knew flats could be so hot? get an eyeful of these christian louboutin zipper ballerinas in cranberry. available at bergdorf goodman.

a tee and a pair of thigh highs

"she's like, 'i'll do the thigh-high boots pregnant.' she wears the same kind of stuff she did before. i think women are sexier when they're pregnant, so why not go for it?"

yellow was seen everywhere and in every shade ranging from mustard to acid lemon over the last four days. although a little too close to mimosa for my liking, the shapes kept it all new with preen's cold shoulders a big favourite. all photographs care of style.
