Pertinent To My Interests: Boys With Glasses & Julian Casablancas

ELVIS  /  JIM  /  JULIAN  /  TOM  /  GEORGE

CRUSHED OUT/SPRING FEVER/BOY CRAZY

Just try to get anything else done today...I dare you.

Today's Special: Pile It On

Prints n patterns. Why not. All of 'em, all the time, together forever. Right?

WHY.
NOT.

Button-down: F21 // Ikat print skirt: J Crew // BETTY Necklace: handmade gift from Tavi // Floral wedges: F21

I think this was my most favorite thing that I've worn lately. I neer want to wear And on a MONDAY, how's that for WINNING (ew! Charlie Sheen jokes?! Ew, don't tell anybody)

I guess it's actually pretty weather inapprops considering we are holding steady at FREEEZINGGG temps even though we are supposed be in SPRING or something like that.

Nothing in this outfit is thrifted or very old..that feels very strange, it's not my usual scene. Also I swear I don't spent that much time in Forevs 21 but these 2 things really worked out for me..I don't know?

Musical Appreciaton: Dystopia (The Earth Is On Fire) / YACHT

Instant new favorite jam status, OH HI.

Printed Matter: Interview, March 2011

The only thing better than an editorial full of Prada SS11 is an editorial full of Prada SS11 styled by my idol Marie-Amélie Sauvé.

Musical Appreciation: The Next Episode / Dr Dre (ft Snoop & Nate Dogg)

When I moved to California for a bit in my younger n wilder years, I drove myself there in my black Ford Explorer with my best friend and my cousin along for the ride. We took 2 weeks to et there and listened to ONE record the entire trip, The Chronic 2001. 




RIP NATE DOGG, CALIFORNIA LOVE.

Recent Acquisition: The Miu Miu Resort 2011 Crazy Wedge

OH.
So..this happened:

I DON'T KNOW WHAT CAME OVER ME.
Ok, yeah I do- I just really had to have this be my reality.

I have yet to wear them out of the house, but when I DO- WATCH OUT, NEW YORK CITY.
I have to change these white laces out first though, they are sort of harshing my mellow?! The sock game possibilities are seemingly ENDLESS with these things.

Should I wear these to the gym?..I do live in Chelsea, I feel like the gays next to me on the ellipticals would just be like WERK.

FW11: Givenchy

Shit was getting really fucking weird over at Gee-vonch.

Didn't we have like 3 or 4 Enid Coleslaw moments in the past 5 years already? Although I guess it wasn't ever really paired with an homage to Versace textiles.

Don't get me wrong- I have plenty of use for sheer pencil skirts adorned with panthers in MY every day life; it's the rest of you that I am worried about.

While I appreciate some serious 90s / C&C Music Factory / Partricia Field store when it was on 8th Street vibed lady costumes such as these:

...this is hard:

I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE. (But..wait..Is that a satin sweatshirt? WANT?! HELP ME!)

I THINK RICCARDO TISCI IS JUST A SQUIRREL TRYIN TO GET A NUT TO MOVE ALL OUR BUTTS TO THE DANCE FLOOR (Y/Y?). He claims his inspo was Bettie Page but that's a lie, dudes! INSPO BELOW:

Musical Appreciation: La Sera / Devils Hearts Grow Gold

Did you guys know that my lifelong secret dream is to be a fiery ginger with a fierce fringe? Oh, no? Well you DON'T KNOW ME AT ALL!

JK, you guys know my hopes n dreams (mostly the ones that concern Lady Gags, Mark Ronson, platform shoes, technicolor dresses and stuff on my head)

Anyway. This Katy chick from the Vivian Girls is pure ginge-spiration in her side project vid...

Please note that this stars some of my favorite boys of the west coast: Sean aka Har Mar, Dirty Preston & Blaque Chris (Twitter MUST FOLLOWS, all of them). PS, no one in LA has a real name.

Can I dye my hair red for like..just a day?

FW11: Fendi

Remems when I was waxing poetic about Miuccia and her advanced color theories? I have to extend as much respect to my favorite high-collared teutonic* Coke Lite addict, Herr Lagerfeld, for being just as fucking ga-HEEN-yus when it comes to bringing together tones and hues that I swear are paired just for me.

You can't see me but I'm weeping with joy.

The grey coat with the mustard colored pockets and wine shoulder patch thingies?
Fucking perfect.

One thing gave me pause:

BLU-BLOCKERS ARE CHIC AGAIN BITCHES..STEAL 'EM FROM YR GRANNY! FASHWON TIME!

But really. This crazyface doesn't faze me- let's get real I would still give anything to walk around in post-Lasik protective eye goggles if it meant I could get my hands on one of these wool wonders.

Constructive Criticism: They could at least come with tiny windshield wipers? Might help.

Musical Appreciation: The Strokes / SNL

No one, but no one, does filthy and bored like Julian Casablancas. Problem skin + a thickness + the most unwashed hair I have ever seen somehow equals intensely grimy hotness. IT'S YOUR GIFT, JC.



Plus he said FUCK on teevee- YOU REBEL, YOU!

Doree somehow managed to get us 2 tix to the Strokes show at MSG in April. The scale of that venue combined with the fact that Is This It? came out 10 years ago is making my head spin.

GOOD MORNING, UNIVERSE!
This song is really taking care of Monday, feel me?

Love Letter: Mae Whitman

This is an open love letter to the person who is currently the best representation on television of a teenage girl who I remember being/want to hang out with/wanna watch all the time: MAE WHITMAN, who is the awesome Amber Holt on Parenthood (the show you HAVE TO WATCH if you are not already!!!)

First of all:
I can't believe I waited so long to start watching this show.
It's easily the best thing on teevee right now by far..it make sme laugh, and I almost always cry, and after every episode I want to move to Northern Cali real real bad.

It reminds me of My So-Called Life, except you get the points of view of a ton of different characters.
Plus Dax Shepard is maayyyyybeeee my dream man ( I didn't know! Parenthood taught me this!).
Also: Peter Krause!
Also: COACH.

ALSO ALSO ALSO: MAE WHITMAN

She is the coolest, you guys. And so funny and normally-abnormal. It's so refreshing to see an "alternative" (barf on that word) teenaged character who isn't some weird cliché of what old white guys think is is UP with kids today.

Amber wears mostly black but she isn't like some bad teevee goth and is sorta into vintage-y stuff but not really, sometimes she wears knee socks and brogues or boots and black glasses and red lips and last week she had baby bangs! But she has friends and boys dig her and she sings songs and plays the ukelele is smart and funny and moody and fun.
And Mae was Ann Hog on Arrested Development. I mean, that's just a bonus but still.

WATCH
THIS
SHOW

WHITE LIGHTNING LOVES YOU, MAE- thanks for ruling.
