zapatos

a classic. (often found as my desktop tile) this is an OLDIE but such a GOODIE from the satorialist. (scott) such a fav. the shoes featured will be timeless to me despite the waves of fashion, the v shape and women's depth is perfection. seriously. he is genius i wish i had his job or facehunter's (ivan) sigh. one day, i am going to try start carrying my camera in my purse when i am around new york city. i am literally in all of the borroughs (i was in four today alone) , thank goodness though rarely i work staten island but i hear the beaches are beautiful and empty. i saw the cutest boy in harlem, with this awesome red 'i love harlem' shirt and red tight jeans and rainbow studded belt. it was priceless. next time i promise to capture him and people like him on film.

*inspired by when i was at my dear friend ru's house tonight. we are planning to make a video to tiga's song: shoes, if you haven't heard it yet. check it out now. he even did his own amazing dance around his house to it tonight for me too. hehe.

hi i am sleepy

but i have vowed to post something everyday...and i had a great day at work, so here are three purdy things...i like things in threes

i want this jacket, i didn't properly categorize this...i think it was Matthew Williamson. speaking of which, i need to check out his ENTIRE line for H&M, i want something from it, even though its pricey. so springy and colourful and funky fresh fun
and MORE lovely.....

i LOVE LOVE LOVE this dress (More threeeeees weee!) erin featherson and oh so flowy and i love the flowers, abstract but small enough for details, this will be so cute with gladiators (BUT not tacky high silver ones like i saw on this girl on 14th street this evening, TACKYYYYYYY and didn't even match her outfit, thus ruining a sweet little pink delicate sundress....but yeah) or nude pumps/heeled strappy sandals.....oh spring/summer come hither with your colour and wispy winds

and here's a cool inspiring pic i found on one of my massive google image searches, this was after i was invited to a beatnik party and needed inspiration for my outfit, i found some funky vintagey images...here's one.

i heart her outfit, the effortless audrey hepburn chicness of it all...and thats its like patio bar, with the suited handsome men behind her. i love the way she is sitting, so spring casual. inspiration for the next month for us all.....

I am an ICON

so I had a LV Sprouse photo shoot with some friends on a ski trip in the Berkshires. and well this is the photoshopped version on my best shot for a friend's current mix cd of covers. i kinda love it. thought you might to.

buffalo pumps

so about a month ago...i went on a spending spree. most fashion girls dream, thus mine, but not so agreeable to my credit card debt, but agreeable to my credit card company. anyways enough about my lack of shopping self control and huge credit card bill due next week. ON TO THE BUYS....(this will be the first of a couple shopping posts to catalogue my new children)
so i splurge at buffalo exchange (the new-ish one in manhattan on east 11th (between 1st and 2nd)). they actually have great designer buys for STEALS-better than the williamsburg which my roommate&i frequent, the only problem with that is they aren't buying for high prices that your resale is worth. so with a small credit in hand, i mostly forked over NEW MONEY. but i got these babies......

Fall RTW 06 Donna Karan Collection Blood red leather/suede stacks pumps with gold mirror inlayed heel DIVINE! only $60
and

same DKCollection pony Leopard spectators with side cutouts and that same FABULOUS gold mirror heel (these are higher than the red ones) these were over $100, i have mentally blocked how much they exactly were and i'd like to leave it that way HAH

i am including some of the runaway look pics with the shoes...they are kinda inspiring.

i love that i am still mulling over fall and its so hot in ny, thus basically spring/summer already.

i think the leopard spectators will definitely come out in the spring with skinny jeans and tank or a cute little beige dress (like the runway look minus the tights...)

i already wore the red pumps with a divine black/white vintage number (with some sheerness at the top too ironically) to a family black tie wedding, and let me tell you. RED PUMPS make a night and any outfit MORE FUN! i'm just saying...

off the shoulder red hoodstooth, GENUIS! i need a little summer version to wear with the red minnie mousers soooooooon

Oh yes I will, I will give it all to you

The Kooks-Sway

Say whatever you have to say, I'll stand by you

Be whoever you have to be, I won't judge ya

And take whatever you have to take, you know I love ya

i was flying back from India on gorgeous&luxurious Emirates airlines that has the most AMAZING inflight entertainment system called ICE. Millions of movies, tv and MUSIK! World music, pop music, old music, full collections of everything classic artists had EVER recorded and you can make playlists and such. AKA AMAZING, right?!? well I was watching the british indie music video channel and stumbled over this gem. The Kooks are becoming an old standby in brit/pop/indie delightfulness. i hadn't been able to check out their new album (i work too much, thus i get behind in COOL tunes) Konk&Rak (the 2cd set) is stellar. really a great spring/summer soundtrack-i suggest you go to the record store or itunes pronto. its a serious upper, happy and sing song along joyous lovely tunes...i dare you to not smile while listening!

...and I need you heart, because you're always in the right places...

MJ moment

i have been hording style inspiration photos on my desktop again...
so i will be needing to post more often (Especially music, i have tons of goodies up my sleeves or um...just in my iPod and multitudes of summer concerts coming up yipppe- I LOVE THE SUMMERS IN NYC!)

i was religiously following ny fashion a few months ago...and these were some standouts from Marc Jacobs show. i think he's done it again, reinvented himself and his label. everyone is up in arms over the ethnic amazingness he's doing at LV (which i would like to comment on later, as i was just in INDIA and poured over the indian fashion mags-so different, yet quite british...and they LOVE mj's new LV stuff) but these are so chic, glamourous, fashion forward, and yet still translatable to normal fashion girls...and wearable. the angles, the shapes that manipulate the body, the juxtaposition of textures and those BOLD AMAZING colours, keeping with the older volume trends but redefining them for NOW.

secretary chic, trends we can draw from and make our own, shoulder pads (how i love you), womanly curves, long GLOVESSSS

these pants are so MAJOR, the hair is brills-i wonder if i can make my wig do that(?!), the tops is also brills-evening wear for the day for work, for walking down the street-it easily goes from day to night-i love the avant garde shape and the rich saturated coloursssssss

a spoonful of sugar.....sweetcakes&milkshakes

Daydream delusion, limousine eyelash
Oh baby with your pretty face
Drop a tear in my wineglass
Look at those big eyes
See what you mean to me
Sweet-cakes and milkshakes
I'm a delusion angel
I'm a fantasy parade
I want you to know what I think
Don't want you to guess anymore
You have no idea where I came from
We have no idea where we're going
Lodged in life
Like branches in a river
Flowing downstream
Caught in the current
I carry you
You'll carry me
That's how it could be
Don't you now me?
Don't you know me by now?

a beautiful poem from one of my favourite movies-Before Sunrise (if not favourite, the movie stirs my soul)
if you haven't seen it yet, DO IT RIGHT NOW
then watch the sequel that came out 10 years later...its the characters meeting again 10 yrs later, brills
Before Sunset...staring Julie Deply (check out her music&designs) and Ethan Hawke(in all his early 90s glory...i need an awkward man like that)
they are both 'heartbreaking works of staggering genius'

Pixieland

so I chopped my hair off, starting about a year ago. and then in January I went to the Pixieland territories. But I LOVE IT! I was just reading tavi, the style rookie's blog and she just went there to. ALL POWER TO HER. its so easy and cute ALWAYS-even when you are dirty and lazy haha. i thought i'd post some photos i've collected since the short began that have inspired me...i don't think i'll go back to hair even though....recently i miss having hair to do 'things' with. even though i know when i had the hair, i RARELY styled it cool. oh well ENJOY! hopefully it'll inspire some people to make THE CHOP for summer, i promise you-you won't regret it-its extremely liberating and like i said WAY CUTEEEEE!
