Bunny Hop

I am currently enamored of Liu Wen and Lindsey Wixson. They are both completely high fashion yet their faces look like little bunnies in a field frolicking with flowers. In other words, dimples are great. As are gap-teeth.

I want to be Liu Wen's best friend.

Also, I love Manny. (Modern Family is on now.)

My friend and I are planning on designing a Wuthering Heights inspired collection in honor of our reading it in class. It will be a modern take on late 1700's/early 1800's fashion with some Gothic influence. SOOO much good. You can call it dorky but I'm very excited about this. And who knows maybe we'll get extra credit for it. DOUBLE YAY.

PS: No I'm not looking forward to Justin Bieber's movie. I barf my brains out.

Into the Wild

Wolf headdresses make me want to grow my hair and prance around in the forest with dirt on my face. If I actually did this and my prancing was accompanied by a soundtrack, it would be 1724 by Sohodolls. Gawd how artsy..

Pocahontas has major 'tude

Bambi Northwood-Blythe in Russh Australia April 2010, Wild is in the Wind by Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia June 2010, Oil and Water by Steven Meisel for Vogue Italia August 2010.

This collection of photos has transitioned from "lewk i'm cyute i'm wearing fur," to "camping trip from hell."

On another note, I found this video on The Ones2Watch titled LW-01, featuring Luke Worrall and Mia Goth. I really enjoyed the video editing (the reversal of certain frames), as well as the experimentation with the movement of smoke. However, I didn't like I'm-trying-to-be-haunting-and-poignant music and the frequent close ups of Luke's face attempting to take on an "intense" expression.

There is a possibility of tomorrow being another snow day. Having a day off would be great. But then again, when wouldn't it?

Winter's Not So Bad After All

Winter is great because you don't have to dress like a teenage stripper in order to stop sweating. Also you get to wear chunky sweaters and soft knits, plus boots with knee socks! Cashmere and shearling and faux fur that feels real! And peppermint bark with hot chocolate and huge marshmallows from Williams-Sonoma! In summer, you can't layer your Rodarte cardigan and Proenza Schouler nordic sweater with your Alexander McQueen skull-printed scarf. In the summer, it's weird if you ask for a cup of chicken noodle soup and a pumpkin spice latte (not that I drink coffee anyway). I guess I could go on and on, but instead I made a set on Polyvore of a few of my favorite Fall/Winter pieces.

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year by Break a Stiletto

As you've probably guessed, the purple/blue cardigan is by Rodarte and the nordic white/black sweater is by Proenza Schouler. The faux-fur coat is Lanvin for H&M, ring by Lanvin, wedges by Camilla Skovgaard, jeans by Superfine, and fur clutch by Michael Kors. The nail polish is a limited edition khaki set by Chanel, and the picture in the upper left corner is of Liu Wen.

Ugly shoe time!

These flipper-heels are by Belgian artist Paul Schietekat.

Also, is it possible for a flower to get a cold because I think this one's nose is running.

More Stuff I Like

I have Daphne Guinness on the mind. Why is she so terribly stylish? I think my favorite quote of hers has to be, "I'm dressed really weird." I also like how she apparently dresses for the "old people who laugh at me in airports" and not the fashion world. I somehow sort of doubt this but it's amusing all the same.

Alexander McQueen's memorial service on September 20th, 2010

I also found this Etsy store that sells horrifically campy shoes, probably even campier than the sparkly felt gingerbread house sitting on my dining room table.

You can shop "Sole Sensations, Fantasy Shoe Sculpture by: Robert Taylor" HERE.

Anyway, I thought I would share photos from a few of my favorite editorials. I added some of them to the sidebar on your right, but I want to put them on here so you can enjoy in their full glory.
