Yesterday I was lucky enough to attend the Karl Lagerfeld x I LOVE DUST party where the new line of t-shirts that was produced with British label I love Dust was on display. The night consisted of staring into Arizona Muse's beautiful face that was massively blown up on one of the walls, sparkly biker jackets and shorts, and Karl's face all over cookies and accessories. Also, me wearing all black and white was a coincidence, I promise.
Some videos I've been getting my summer, and overall, inspiration from.
Miu Miu- The Woman Dress
This honestly freaked me out a little (then again, I jump and squeal when Scream jumps out from behind a door or something in old Scream movies), but I really can't help being weirdly attracted to how spooky and dark this video is, and in contrast how pretty, subtle, and not scary the dresses are. It makes me excited for spooky summer night sleepovers, or camping and sitting around the camp fire telling scary stories, or just lighting a candle in my room by myself and hiding from the monsters under my bed.
Matilda- Send Me on My Way (Breakfast Scene)
So my parents recently left to Canada for a small vacation and left me alone in my house right when finals week ended, aka feeling exactly like this. This song really makes any situation, like having to clean the entire house in under two hours before your parents get home, a thousand times more relaxing and hopeful~ And who doesn't love everything about this movie?!
Rusted Root- Send Me on My Way (Actual Video)
Well, the innocence I associated this song with earlier completely went out the window once I looked up the actual video to it. My hopeful heroic song that I depended on to make miserable situations better just turned into what seems to be an acid trip in a desert?
Friendly Fires- Hurting
On my last day of my intro to television studies class, a girl in my class did her final presentation on this video and I've been replaying it constantly ever since. As she mentioned during her presentation, I'm surprised such a cool video and song doesn't have more views. If only it were true that men had mechanical cubes as heads and hearts popped up when women walked by them, instead of the kissing-dog-mating-call I-dont-even-know-what-to-call-them sounds they use on women in the streets (in nyc, at least). But still! this video does make me want to put on short shorts and shamelessly prance around in the street.
Karl Lagerfeld- "The New Mix"
Okay, despite the really awkward ending, I really love this video. For a change, I really like the futuristic theme and how its portrayed so well with the special effects and music, and not to mention Arizona Muse and Abbey Lee look flawless. The clip-on collars (especially the silver ones) and the cut-off studded gloves are genius. The clip-on collars would be really cool to wear during the summer to avoid actual shirt collars that would be a lot more uncomfortable to wear (I think?). And silver pants are never not cool.
Hey guys. So this is the Ghassan Yazbeck collection preview I attended a while back. I decided to pull out my mom's old vintage skirt and pair it with this bow-tie shirt I got from a little shop in my neighborhood.
In other semi-recent news, I got bored one night and decided to sort of bejewel one of my snapbacks.
Kind of silly but I like it.
In other other semi-recent news, I wrote this article about this really awesome artist who is also a fashion designer that I wanted to share with you guys! Here is some of his work:
Don't get me wrong, I love and respect Anna Wintour and Karl Lagerfeld and their work, but this is just too ballsy and funny not to admire! I couldn't not write about it. Much respect, Palombo.
After years of barely putting on earrings (or accessories in general for that matter), I thought it would be fun to finally start playing around with them. This was a result of feeling like earrings that were sold in most retail stores were repetitive and tacky-looking, along with being too lazy to actually go out of my comfort [shopping] zone to look for a nice pair. But! I've stepped foot back into the accessory world once I found this earcuff on Etsy a little while ago. I know, it's not an actual pair of earrings, but it's a start, right?
I bought this Free People top last summer and haven't worn it much since. Now that the weather is getting nicer, it seriously deserves to see sunlight.
Here I am again, new hair color and all, about to apologize to my followers for being so absent in the blogging world. But I won't! Because I have a lot of exciting news. I wanted to share with you guys, first, a dress I've recently pulled out of my mom's closet (shhh) that I fell in love with. If you're thinking that my mom's closet is some black hole in the universe where clothing just keeps accumulating, you're right. And trust me, I'm just as freaked out by it as I am thrilled.
A sheer floral beige maxi dress that is too perfect for words and too delicate to wear without docs or heavy boots. Oh, and my hair is black now. Here are a few silly pictures me and my friends took, in which I'm wearing the dress.
Also, updates on my February fashion week underneath.
BTW, my friends did not plan to dress alike at all this day. My friend made fun of us saying that we looked like a girl band, so I edited the last picture to fit the bad-ass girl band look. But seriously, how awesome are their bow-ties?
I know what you're thinking, "another jumping picture, real original." It's not, I know, thank you very much.
This fashion week I got to assist a photo shoot for designer Ghassan Yazbeck's Fall/Winter 2012 Editorial look, and write an article about it! Check it out here:
Here are a few behind the scenes photos I took as well:
Ghassan's clothing is simply beautiful. It was truly a pleasure to help out with his shoot.
Needless to say, this fashion week has been a blessing. I also got to help coordinate the Yazbeck's show and got to attend the fashion coterie, which I will have more pictures of later!
