Back to my roots






Dress- Iranian bazaar, shoes- La Manual Alpargatera, bag- Marc by Marc Jacobs, belt and bangle- vintage, lipstick- Bobbi Brown Orange

Gym clothes and sweats (I don't care if you spent $100 on those lululemon pants) should only be worn to work out, clean the house, or lounge in privacy when no one else can see you. It takes very little effort to pull something together. Slip on some comfy flats and a tunic dress for your Sunday errands today but no spandex allowed. Present the way you would like to be perceived.

The dress is really some tunic thing that goes down to the floor and looks like a potato sack. I found it in a bazaar in Iran, but adding a belt around the waist and pulling the top up and over the belt makes it much more than a potato sack.

The shoes are from the famous shoes store in Barcelona,  La Manual Alpargatera. Salvador Dali, Elton John, and even Pope John Paul II have worn their creations. If you're ever visiting the beautiful Spanish city be sure to buy as many pairs as you can; they're unisex and come in so many colors.

Finally the sunglasses, years after my grandma passed we went through some of her things and these older and slightly uncomfortable aviators were stashed in some old case. My brother and I still fight over who they should really belong to, but finders keepers.
