Let me first tell you that I am summer's #1 fan. Number. One. From May to September I am constantly on cloud nine. So it's only natural that I start thinking about summer in the dead winter, planning every little detail to ensure it is as close to perfect as can be. Here is a glipse of what my summer might look like...
ONE
Pleasure Principle tees. I love Pleasure Principle for staying avant-garde, and consistently referencing high fashion and drugs (which happen to be two of my fav. vices, obvy). Pricey but worth it - Pleasure Principle garments are one of a kind. $110 from Seven NY.
TWO
From the house of the Little Black Dress comes the Little Black Segway. I can already see myself perched on this ultra-luxury transportation device, sipping a coffee while beeping my little Chanel horn, death-staring the masses until they move. And if you don't hear the horn, not a problem. My double-C monogrammed wheels have enough traction to roll over even the most common people. $12,000 from Chanel.
THREE
Bow-ties. And lots of them! Wearing a bow-tie makes you look all smart and classy and innocent and shit. And they're basically the only way you can get away with a short-sleeve shirt. Bonus points if you're not wearing a clip-on. Find a variety on Ebay.
FOUR
Umbrellas are always boring, or ugly, or both. This Marimekko umbrella defies umbrella-law with its abstract red pattern and matching red wood handle. $40 at Oak.
FIVE
I am constantly on the quest for perfect bags. I don't own anything from Insight but this backpack is fetch. The color is bright, which helps when you're always wearing black. And it's always important to represent the wonderful city of New York. $60 from Revolve.
Honorable Mention: Simon and Garfunkel, rooftop parties, sunglasses from flea markets, iced tea, Delores.
