Office Outfit: Casual Friday Rainy Day

I can’t help but associate fall with rainy, windy days. I wouldn’t let the dog out on days like this, let alone me. Or you. But still, some people still get to go to the office, right? Tomorrow is Friday (yaaay!) and I’m thinking many follow the casual Friday office dress code. In order to achieve that laid back but smart look in all fashion and style, I put together the outfit below.

It’s definitely something I’d pull out of my wardrobe, so don’t be surprised to see the colors I love and the styles I favor (capes, brown buckled boots, gray and yellow). If you want specific details about the items, head on to StyleFrizz Polyvore – here – for more (oh, and as our dear friend, Ellington, suggested on Facebook: some may think the owl – bag may reference Halloween too much and thus making this look a bit ‘yesterday’. Fear not, it’s because of my owls – fall obsession. Otherwise, feel free to pair any bag you like. I’m in an owl-ish mood).

Wait, what? Lana Del Rey has just crossed the street fashion threshold into an entirely new sartorial dimension. Two images from her alleged Versace Ad Campaign have been tweet – released and they look like what you’re seeing below. Umm… a part from Lana being just as ‘real’ as Donatella is – physically speaking – I can’t see a shred of Versace in this girl. Can you? {lanadelreytwitter}

My dahlings! As you well know, I’ve expressed my warm feelings towards Hunter rubber boots more than once. Actually, I happen to think rubber boots are excellent footwear when it comes to rain, mud and even snow (if paired with the right socks).

You might argue with the above, especially if you live in the city, but don’t get me started about normal rainy days, countryside (and I’m not talking about horse riding, just normal dogs walks, school runs and small errands)! Fact is, rubber boots were pretty unknown to me until I bought a pair for the eldest boy – he was around 2yo and he had a real hobby from running off – path. Needless to say that at the end of the day he wore a second outfit, made of mud. His feet – dry and warm, though. And all that because he was wearing rubber boots.

Noted. After that, each of our kids received a trusted pair of rubber boots when the walking – age came. Mom and dad ensued. This year, doubling my quest for the perfect pair of city casual boots, I wanted to buy a sturdy, reliable pair of rubber boots also for cold winters’ moist as well as quick errands across city puddles. As such, I normally turned to Hunter. Because, let’s face it, we rarely say ‘wellies’ without implying ‘Hunters’.

As expected, Kate Moss was pretty insightful in her interview with Vanity Fair. Today, as the online version was published, pretty much everyone quoted this and that from Kate’s cover story. And there’s a lot to quote from: her Calvin Klein ads with Marky Mark, her refusal to model without clothes on, how nobody gave her food when she was starting in the business and how Jonny Depp took care of her and how she cried when they were over. There’s more. Here.

(imaginary tattoos, that is). Remember Megan Fox and her forearm Marilyn Monroe tattoo? Well, she’s having that removed, true (and in good reason – it looked awful) but how about the actual Marilyn Monroe with tattoos on? Yes, as in Marilyn with a lot of ink on. A lot!

And, while we’re at it, why not imagine Liz Taylor, the impeccably feminine, the definition of a Diva, with many, many tattoos on her immaculate skin? Now look at these images below: how does it make you feel? Australian photo manipulator Jason Hill did an outstanding work when he inked the legendary ladies. It’s really something new and challenging. Puts photoshop disasters to shame, huh?

Now that we entered the bridal dresses craze zone, why not throw in a little rumor. Just for fun?

Fashionista overheard whispers naming L’Wren Scott as the designer of Angelina Jolie’s wedding dress. No, you didn’t miss anything – there’s still no official wedding announcement, just rumors and speculations. Like we love them so.

Do you think she’ll go for another right – leg bridal thing?

Now that Halloween is slowly but steadily going past us (or the other way around), my favorite, my beloved, my most treasured celebration of them all is coming: Christmas. Inevitable. (wink)

So do expect me to stuff on Christmas goodies from now until the D day. Because there can never be enough Christmas spirit to share and enjoy, right? Philip Treacy too thinks there can never be enough. Only he’s thinking about $$$. Asprey and the esteemed milliner came up with this dazzling 80 pieces limited edition $2,400 Christmas cracker with really surprising content. I know Angelina is an Asprey fan. I bet they’ll be getting some Philip Treacy cracker goodies…

Now if you needed this, you’d think Christmas arrived earlier. And even if you didn’t need a Color Sensing Pen, you’d still receive it as a wonderful invention!

The Color Picker concept pen as designed by Jinsun Park allows you to scan anything you want and the pen’s color sensor with detect the color and produce it through its RGB cartridge! Talking about natural colors, huh?
