There is SO SO much I love about a velvet boot. I had my boyfriend bust out these burgundy velvet Modern Vice boots in the factory just before NYFW. Yep, that”s right. Custom-made to perfection. I’m in LA for work, and soon-to-be Coachella bound, but I’ve still got so much from winter to show you. Desert, palm trees, and leather shorts and sandals are going to have to wait till tomorrow. This NYFW look just happens to be one of my absolute favorite looks from all the show madness. Burgundy and brown plaids just warm my heart. Oh, and who can forget my chauffer’s cap designed by me and Worth & Worth…currently on Refinery 29 as Editor’s top PICKS! Now how cool is that? Now you know why this look in particular is special to me.

Everything I love, created by the people I love, all in one look I can’t wait to wear again and again.

For now, I’m busting out the gladiator sandals and oversize shades. Good morning Hollywood. Follow my latest adventures now on INSTAGRAM!
