Dark and interesting never fails. Soft fur and rough leather in semi-primal finishes work so well with feminine lace and cool metals. And that owl clutch as just awesome.

Harvest

Neil Young's iconic Harvest album has one of my all time favorite covers - so simple yet so eye catching and classic. You see it and you know instantly that it couldn't be any other album. It includes "Old Man" - one of my favorite songs ever. Its poignant, earthy and makes you think about the past and the future and life in general. Young later said the record "put me in the middle of the road. Traveling there soon became a bore so I headed for the ditch. A rougher ride but I saw more interesting people there."

I love outfits executed in creamy, peach and tan colours. Such a gorgeous warm look - and you can get away with wearing a bunch of different shades. Works really well with softly draped/gathered pieces. I've been wanting a pale apricot tee since early summer last year - still hunting for the perfect one!

Donna Karen Fall 09 Shoes

These I love. God I need a hot-as-hell pair of platform ankle booties - ideally with super fun features like print, texture, buckles etc. Unfortunately my scrawny midget feet are always swimming in all the pairs I have tried on so far! Search will continue.

I think it's time for some blatant shoe porn. I've been obsessed with platform booties for forever now (am STILL searching for a pair of wedge ankle boots a la Sam Edelman - haven't come close unfortunately). But these all are super hot - if so far out of my financial stratosphere it's not even funny. But thats the point of shoe porn.

Brian Atwood

These are gorgeous - so slick and sharp and futuristic, yet so so primal.

Clockwise: Suede bootie, Python bootie with elastic lace detail, Alligator bootie.

Burberry

I pretty much died when I saw these on the catwalk. Insanely perfect and the epitome of "Don't Fuck With Me" shoes.
