Stuff

Crappola that has inspired me as of late.


Mel, this is what I was talking about last night.



Jen, let's fix your vest to fit more like this, yeah? (then, I can borrow it! Yay!)
Very a la Zoe.
Mad for plaid. But I don't think I'll buy those f21 tights after all....Still, this is cute, reminds me of the layered tights from S.Rykiel. Oh, Kate. We all love you. When is this shit going on sale?

I Will Make You

Suggestions

Goddam. Amythist! Come back from Spain!! Serg....This would be so great, no?

Been There Done That

So, I wasn't lying when I said my mom used to make me dresses. A lot of dresses and other pieces of clothing too. But mostly dresses.

Lately, I feel a little weird. I'm beginning to understand how she felt when I was in junior high and high school. She would turn to me, look at what I was wearing and say "I remember those. I used to have that exact same thing."

Well, what the hell, I feel old. Because all the things that are in, I used to wear as a little girl.

No Joke.

Take lace. My mom used to make me lace leggings. Yeah. All that shit we all want now, I used to take for granted. I feel like an idiot cuz I used to hate wearing them. I used to think they were hideous. She used to make them footless, too, for christ sake. Oh, the eeeeyee-yerrr-nie!

And then there's velvet. Oh, Yes, Velvet. There used to be crushed velvet. And GREEN velvet. She would make velvet dresses with A LACE CHEST thingie. Velvet will be back to haunt you, mark my words. She used to make them so I could wear them to church, weddings, and other uncomfortable occasions. She LOOOOVED velvet. Ugh. it's soo sad. It's true, I'm turning into my moms.

Don't forget about the damn Florals. Yeah, who's mom didn't make them a floral dress? With big ass bows and a princess cut at the waist? I'm not big on florals. Every once in a while, maybe.

But now I'm thinking to myself....what else did my mom make me? What else did I wear when I was eight? The only thing that comes to mind is this one dress that I DIED for on my eight birthday party....I bet it will be the next thing.

De ja fucking vu.

We Can All Agree

"Maybe the next trend is stay the same. Yves Saint Laurent did essentially the same collection for eight seasons in a row. I like that idea. I think, on some level, we could all use a break. "

Wow. For once, I completely agree with Jonathan Saunders.

I don't remember if I posted this thought, or if I was talking to Josh when I said it, but I wish we wouldn't move so fast in fashion. I love the 60's and 70's. They have been my inspiration since one of my aunts introduced me to the bell bottom back in third grade. I wish we could stick to the 60's and 70's and really explore all the trends from those generations. I bet we would never tire.

sigh.

Just For One Day

I would love to look like this. Click on the pic, it makes it bigger. Check the rest out here (Sergio, if you are reading this....can we have Amythist do this to us....PLEASE!?)

I [Heart] Ronson

What!? Ronson for JCPenny? Yee-up. That's right. Looks like Ronson will be hitting Penny stores real soon. Don't believe me? Read it at WWD.

Dear God, It's Me, Yadira

Jesus..... Can I have these?

Puh-LEEEEEEZ?

Which One?

Ugh. I can't decide. I don't know what to be for Halloween! One year, Josh and I were Cornelius and Marla Singer. He made a great Edward Norton (looked just like him at the time) and I made a rad Marla (weirdo and all). The year before last, I was a nurse and he was an abortion. Yeah, sorry if that offends you, but we thought it was pretty fucking great. Last year, I was a Day of the Dead little Mexican.....

But this year, I have nooo idea. Josh and I thought we should dress up like cats and dogs, a la Breakfast at Tiffany's or Trigger Happy TV (you know, where they're chasing each other or sitting drinking at a bar). But we cannot for the life of us find giant cat and dog costumes for cheap. Then we thought we could be Velma and Shaggy, with Bronson being either Scooby or Scrappy....but, that's too cheesy for us, and too played out. THEN, we thought we could be a cowboy and Indian or Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, but one's too typical and the other is too obscure. Israel and Palestine? Funny as hell (if you knew us, you would laugh), but too political.


sigh. So, here are my last ideas. What do you think?

A Peacock. yeah, I know they're boys, but they're pretty.


A doll, a la Galliano
Or a Mod. A la Mod, duh.

Girl Crushes

Good morning ladies and gents.

Well, I have a confession to make. I have two crushes. One, you've seen before, Here, Here, Here and now below once again. Her name is Ornithes and she's absolutely adorable. The red tights and that mustard scarf go so well together and that hair is totally the reason I'm not gonna get a trim (again).

Here's Gala Gonzalez. A Spanish beauty living in London. Jealous much? I know I am. Check out her closet Here.

If I Had Money

I would totally buy this CAPE!

And this fucking awesome sweater!

But I don't....so now I have Ebay shopping blue balls.....sigh.
