Au Naturel

I've wanted to post this photo from The Sartorialist for the longest time, but I didn't want to slap it up and say "This is my girl crush" before returning to the depths of my lair to study and eat half a wheel of Brie. This picture actually produced one of the few moments that I've wished away my dark olive skin and Asian features, because neither tend to look good with honey blonde hair. Her hair color becomes a part of the outfit itself, which I loved so much that I recreated it below (in the event that you've developed a similar girl crush).

I think it's the wedge boots that really do it for me — they're a little utilitarian and completely adorable (I've had it bad for this J. Crew pair for the longest time). I thought about switching in a bright color for one of the pieces, but I think it would ruin the look for me. I really like the monochromatic palette and the way that it gives me a new way to wear one of my most beloved neutrals ever, camel. The textures alone are amazing: fur, knit, denim, and suede. Does it get any softer? And a coffee-hued leather messenger bag on top of it?! I'm a goner:
