In most places right now (and even in L.A. depending on the day) it’s too cold for bare legs, but wearing pants every day gets old. Statement tights aren’t reinventing the wheel, but after spotting a girl with fishnet tights subtly peeking out from holes in her distressed denim, ...read more
As I've documented so far in this series, the vast majority of what I'm "into" comes from stimulus–I'm an extremely visual person and get inspired by what I observe and like, whether on Instagram, while shopping, or just out and about in the world. Usually, there's a direct ...read more
