plans for summer

i do know that technically there’s still a ways to go before summer, and it’s even snowing still in parts of the country, but clothing wise, i’m so over the cold weather.  while it actually has been spring-like here in texas, with warm days and chilly nights, any sort of in-between weather here is fleeting, [...]

beyond the basics

looking to upgrade your favorite t-shirt?  the vena cava pyramidion shirt is the perfect solution.  it’s ultra thin and slouchy with a lace back insert, and the perfect shade of gray.  pair with a mini and heels for dancing on hot summer nights or denim cut-offs and wraparound sunglasses for a casual afternoon on a [...]

how could you be so heartless

the perks of being in austin during sxsw?  free parties, free alcohol, maybe some good bands if you’re in the right place at the right time…  we never expected to get to see a kanye west double feature.  rumors had been flying around that he’d be the special guest at either the fader or the [...]

sxswing on a sunny saturday

two events around the same time. 6 blocks apart. hoping to make it to both. we’ll see what happens. first i guess we should figure out what to wear.

sxsw 2009

do512 has the best list of parties and events for sxsw that i have found. it even gives you how to rsvp for most of them. i know we’re posting this kind of late, but better late than never right? hope you guys enjoy your sxsw.

somebody’s watching me

i can’t honestly say that i have strong feelings either way about anne hathaway.  she seemed good in the couple of things i’ve seen her in, and normally seems fairly well dressed.  i do really love fornasetti though, and i think this picture is amazing.  this appeared in flaunt 95, and was photographed by kurt [...]

the last magazine

i picked up the final issue of domino last week.  i can’t say that what they’ve done has consistently been my style, but i do like the magazine, and will be sad to see it go.  oddly enough, this issue contains probably my favorite spread that i’ve seen of theirs.  michael bargo is a designer [...]

your life will surely change

today is the day i’ve been waiting for… chanel and mcqueen.  very exciting.  so chanel… hmm.  the clothing is a little anti-climactic for me.  some of the things are crafty, furry, macrame-looking.  a lot of it is simple black, which is good. these are some of the looks that stood out for me.  the most [...]

smoke monster

i’ve been totally blown away by the video for gareth pugh’s fall collection.  it stars natasha vojnoviv as an otherworldy figure as filmed by ruth hogben.  this is truly riveting, and a little scary.  watch it now  at showstudio.

a few of my favorite things

justify my love-styled madonna, a harem of well dressed men, hotel rooms, big sunglasses, fingerless gloves, steven klein, helena christenson, chuck bass, terry richardson, the graduate, pencil skirts, sky high heels…  all things i like.  all reasons you should check out blame it on rio and the gossip graduate…  by the way, yes, i know [...]
