no debate needed

i am going to buy these shoes, maybe next week. yep.

who knew?

A couple weeks ago in SF, i came across the shoe line marsell. i had never heard of them, but i'm in love with how tough they are. they look like something you would buy on a vacation in italy and then treasure for life. i just got around to doing a little searching-- it looks like it is an italian line known more for their mens shoes than womens.  i'm already trying to figure out how to get the lace-up heeled oxford in my life asap.

oh my

holy animal-shaped hair hat. 

all day i dream of...

ultimate

sex hair:

is it a wig? doesn't matter.

seriously, though

lately i feel like i could explode at any given moment. not a pleasant feeling as my chosen picture might suggest. i need an outlet or at least a distraction. help!

send me your jacket

please and thank you. from facehunter.

so fresh, so clean

all i really want to wear these days is a simple white button-up.  it is always a pleasure to come across one with interesting details that still gives off that clean, slightly unisex vibe. i've found a few lately:

BOY from lagarconne

notice the lack of ruffles (yuck), puff sleeves (yuck) and flair (gross)!

ouch

the past few weeks have been kinda brutal. things will be back to normal next week (i hope).

speaking of ghosts

so pretty, right? 

it was a dark and stormy night...

lately i've been in the mood for a good scary movie, and all my options seem to be gross-out sci-fi junk. 

help!

forgot to name this one.

obsessed with this picture from jak&jil. outfitting irony at it's best, wish i could see the whole look.

can't get over it...

after all these years, my love for this man remains.

that's what she said.

inspired?

the top pic is from the sartorialist (i'm sorry!), part of his vintage photo contest. the woman pictured is a former model. the lower pic is from an editorial in vogue nippon (i think?).  

be sure to wear flowers in your hair...

i'm going to san francisco in a few weeks. for work, but no matter, i'm still excited. i haven't spent time in sf since i was 13ish. anyway, before trips like this, i always try to decide how i want to feel when i'm there, who i want to be, if you will--and then plan my wardrobe accordingly. here's what i'm thinking. it's a mix of things i currently own, and things i would like to own... also, does this color palette solidify my old-ness?

yellow

how perfect is dree hemingway in this valentino dress? btw, is that a topsy-tail i see? from le fashion image

we can't stop here...

i knew something was missing from my wardrobe. bats!

dream hair (of the moment)

i have been dying over this picture for a month or so, which has caused me to develop an inexplicable obsession with wavy bobs. does this mean it's time for a haircut?  scary, considering my hair has been really long for a really long time. hmmm...
pic from jak&jil (i think, it's been a while)

vacation, all i ever wanted

My vacation (I guess it would be called a "staycation") starts today.
