i am a BIG intermix girl.

just last week, i went into a near-panic imagining if something happened to my sweet IM.

beyond the spot-on buying and heart-throbbing editorials, intermix reminds me of a 25-year-old mimi breaking into her nyc life.

my first week as a true manhattan resident, i splurged on a pair of brian atwood peep-toe platforms from the intermix on 5th avenue and 17th st. that 2012 moment is still incredibly palpable, as well as the memories that followed. whether i was navigating the cobblestones and club front doors in meatpacking, teetering through snow for a january dinner date at buddakan, or flitting between two hotties at the W miami. although those shoes (and stories) are so 2010’s, i am saving them for my future daughter.

i want her to experience, if only through a material item, what it means to be a wild, semi-free, semi-reckless, metropolitan 20-something.

• Valentino gold leather + hardware is always a g.o. (great option)
• What a sweetheart of a mini skirt. The blue cord will somehow go with everything!
• We love a mesh pump- we, meaning I do. The Aquazurra Kaz is beyond timeless + sexy + femme
• I saw Laquan Smith’s corseting @ The Webster in MIA, and have not been the same since.
• Sisters are doin’ it for themselves- Veronica Beard nails the blazer, in leather nonetheless!

long live the mix. xx
