What We’re Wearing: Kristian Gets Tough In Leather And Plaid

What I'm wearing: "After a couple fashion fail years, I've tended to stick to the basics. For winter, I'm less preppy and trying to get pieces I'll still wear when I'm 30. Clearly, the weather's been crazy unpredictable, so it's all about the layers—I've lived in this AllSaints hooded leather jacket for a month, my A.P.C. jeans that I got in Paris make it in my wardrobe at least twice a week, my boots were a gift from Courtney at J Shoes (and they're crazy affordable), the cardigan is Hyden Yoo, and somehow this Schiesser Revival T-shirt slipped into my bureau. Oh, I picked up that handy Jansport backpack for $50 at Steven Alan."

My beauty look du jour: "Lately, I've been addicted to everything from Clark's Botanicals. Their face wash is like crack, and the eye cream always helps hide a huge-ass hangover. In the winter, I always put on Sunday Riley's Juno Transformative Serum twice a week."

What's on my iPod today: "It's been crazy eclectic—Cheryl Cole's new stuff, some Florence + The Machine, and Fred Falke remixes. Plus, I've gotten re-addicted to Frankmusik and LCD Soundsytem's 45:33."

What's on my to-do list: "Packing for a Paris thanksgiving with my parents and Art Basel Miami at the same time, which is really dangerous when shopping (sweaters and bathing suits = pissed-off wallet), finding a perfect, cheap oval mirror, and researching a story that involves hot dudes and subways. And, no, unfortunately not that kind of research."
