Filamentous Cardigan

This sweater from Anthropologie is finally mine! It's gorgeous. Somewhere between a sweatercoat and a cardigan, it's so stinking warm and cozy. You can't tell in this picture but it has a sash as well. Anthro's website has amazing outfitting ideas which they update frequently. 

Heathers, 1989

One of my favorite movies. I pulled this one out of the DVD drawer recently and relived some of my favorite moments of croquet, Swatches, funerals, and "Corn Nuts!" 

Abbey Lee Kershaw

She must always look cool. Seeing other people's blogs lately has made me realize how amazing model Abbey Lee Kershaw's personal style is. She's been seen wearing everything from blue fur jackets to maxi dresses.

BDG Hiker Boots, $68 at Urban Outfitters. 

I wasn't quick enough to jump on these babies, sadly. First the size 10 was out of stock, now the entire brown color is gone. I was going to wait around and hope they come back, but I found a look-alike pair by Kensie Girl -- and these have shearling on the inside!




Kensie Girl Kendrina Hiker Booties, $60

 

Burberry Prorsum Fall 2010 Ad

According to The Cut, Burberry's revenue is up about 21% thanks to the stylish new shearling designs. The boots and coats have been a huge hit, and understandably so. I loved the Fall 2010 show with the sherpa and military-inspired outfitting. Bring on the cold weather!

so this is nebraska

No, Nebraska poet laureate Ted Kooser probably didn't have Samantha Gradoville specifically in mind when he wrote about gravel roads and tractors in the aforementioned poem. But like Kooser, I'm extremely proud to say that the new, up-and-coming model is from my hometown of Omaha, Nebraska. She's been in countless spring 2011 shows such as Louis Vuitton, Prada, Dolce and Gabbana, Marc by Marc Jacobs, Chanel, Miu Miu just to name a few. Oh, and her dad is my dentist. Life is weird, isn't it?

I was absolutely tickled to see Sam in an editorial spread in the October issue of Harper's Bazaar a few weeks ago. Wearing Dior, Gucci, Christian Louboutin, Dolce and Gabbana, Burberry Prorsum, and Chloé, she is single-handedly fulfilling my sartorial dream. And how about those eyebrows? She reminds me of an old movie star or Camilla Belle. Yes, indeedy, she's going to be a big star. Who says Nebraska is just cornfields and farms? Well, besides Ted Kooser.
