have a nice trip. see you next fall













ok, i haven't looked at everything yet, but this is what i like thus far from the pre-fall collections. from top: lanvin (loved this presentation!), givenchy x2 (origami!), celine x4, burberry prorsum x4 (amazing proportions here!), alexander wang x2 (still want those sunglasses). some thoughts: maybe i'm getting old, but minimal feels right. or at least right now. chanel, louis vuitton, and balenciaga seemed totally nuts in comparison to the much cleaner aesthetic coming from celine and co above. i think i would be into the pieces from rag and bone, but i wasn't into the presentation-- i need a little fantasy, even if it is just creating some unattainably cool character in front of a white backdrop (wang). basically, i don't want to see presentations styled the way you would wear them IRL. ya know? call me crazy. i was also not that into the schoolgirl thing from proenza schouler, although i never really am (into schoolgirl, or ps for that matter). for the record: i really have no business commenting on high fashion. while i work in the fashion industry, the fashion i am involved with would not be considered "high". however, i am inspired by all levels of fashion, and began stockpiling vogue and bazaar around the age of 10. i am interested. forgive me if my thoughts seem unintelligible. sorry, just wanted to put that out there, spouting off about this stuff always gives me attacks of insecurity. whatever.

well, this is a bummer...

what's that you say?

robert clergerie for opening ceremony? sounds like a dream come true. i love, love the idea of his shoes, but there is always something in the details that skews them slightly too far toward matronly. i'm hoping this collaboration will inject just the right amount of edge into the clunky/clog-y/minimal aesthetic he does so well. and another thing- i really love platform flats-that article made my day in multiple ways.

now i'm no longer alone...

there's going to be a blue moon on new years eve. snap!

foxy

daddy, i want a domesticated baby fox! i want you to get me one right away!

totally nude





lately, i only have eyes for nude leather shoes. not sure why, maybe because i have been exclusively buying black for so long? they just feel so fresh! from top: swedish hasbeens, tsumori chisato, chloe, celine. i wish i could find a better picture of the celines, as they are my fave (BTW, they are starting to get celine footwear in at barneys and i'm dying. welcome back phoebe. i haven't lusted after shoes this way since you were at chloe). i need a pair terribly.

oh look, it's this one again





ok, my jealous-of-aurel-shmidt level has reached an unhealthy high. not sure how to handle this. might be turning green? she is: adorably cute, intriguingly creepy, insanely talented. aaargh.

striped and feathered



the exact feeling that i am going to love about this spring. perfect, perfect, perfect. numero january 2010. from tfs

current location

hotel san jose in austin. god, i love it here. i also found a fantastic, perfectly my size pair of destroyed vintage levi's and a thompson twins (!) tank top down the street at new bohemia. thursday i plan on stopping by feathers and prototype. should be good... i'll report back.

watch out for those man-eating jackrabbits...

and that killer (porcelain) cacti. could these be any more adoreable? i think not. i'd like a window-ledge full of these.

my thoughts on skull cake.

i mean, i know this thing is a work of art that someone spent many hours creating, but i can't get past how much i want to eat it. like, right now.

i had forgotten about this...

but i remember now. love this outfit.

don't fly too close to the sun


i'm not really sure what it is about these two... war, all things medieval, greek mythology-- not my favorite sources of inspiration. yet, somehow i'm drawn to these. who knows. from tfs.

and i saw stars....

oh, wow. from jak & jil.
