access your life

accessories are vital for life! well maybe that is a bit extreme. im sure you will not physically die without them, but caught with the wrong ones i might just off you myself! chuckle chuckle just kidding...well only a little. But seriously, muted tones allow one to take stock in the details. and lets face it, when spending the equivalent of some people's rent on a bag you definitely want the detailing to be evident. take Bottega Veneta's marco polo tote (950u$s, barney's a/w 11). it appears to be a quite common tote but constructed of raised leather with rolled leather handles and subtle BV intrecciato weave the details are a picture of simple elegance. now i admire simple elegance, but i am sucker for tone and texture and yes if not already established... a bit-o-tackiness. i love the mishmash of textural items but please note a little tack goes a long way ;). so with this piece id pair Givenchy's snake embossed leather wallet(280u$s, ssense.com a/w 11) for a little extra flash when you whip it out to pay for that soy latte from one of the million coffee shops in manhattan. Casely-Hayford for John Moore Men's brogued 7 hole boot (753u$s, oki-ni.com a/w 11) is definitely the foot armor id don to turn up the volume another notch for this collection of accessories. i mean really, who doesnt love an 80s punk inspired british work boot? i know i do. and if you missed it.... HINT: i suggest you rock all three in simultaneity and just maybe you'll have a few spared moments of joyous life.
