i have a column in vibe called mue-singz

although not the most comprehensive look (and certainly not unbiased and not exactly properly edited), i've been compiling pictures and mental notes from fall fashion week 09 (fyi dudes who read: this really means they are showing stuff for spring 09).


1. anne of green gables and eley kishimoto fall08 (see above image) as inspiration for marc jacobs. come on people, am i right or am i right??? the kitty is just because i love you.

(above L to R)
marc jacobs - eley kishimoto spring 08
marc by marc - eley kishimoto fall 08


2. patterned tights. looooooove. cannot wait to start wearing tights (and double tights): top shop, eley kishimoto


3. prints prints and more prints. simple prints, print comboz, and subtle comboz of the two. obviously this is a duh, especially coming from me: diane von furstenwhatever, marni, luella, temperley


4. color combos, etc. still loving this electric blue but also the softer sherbert colors (mmmmmm) mixed with greyscale: temperley, alexander wang, marc by marc, rodarte. PS i totally had a paul smith picture to post but the model's hair was so greasy and yuck - as were the rest of the models' hair in the show. the really wet look is kinda gross.


5. let's be honest. i'm for defs not gonna be walking around in rodarte heels or dvf dresses anytime soon. mostly because my fall fashion to-do list includes modifying my grandma's denim jumpsuit and trying to find shoes that actually fit. most wearable: marios schwab, charlotte ronson, jaeger london, alexander wang

ANECDOTE: a.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.n.e.q.d.o.t.e

ok i am going to have take a break from our usually scheduled non-sense to discuss current affairs... presidential debate 1.0

did anyone else feel like McCain looked like a kid at a spelling bee who couldn't spell Ahmadinejad? i mean, what is his problem? can't you look at Obama or are you afraid if you make eye contact with a black man you'll turn to stone? wheres your body guard "thanks but no thanks?"



anyway, if i have to hear one more fucking story about John McCain's vacations i swear i'll scream. its called flickr, or you could put those awesome minnnnnd numbing stories about the roaring 20s on your myspace blog...

but seriously, look at Obama, hes so cute.

chip in!

Peter and Breanne started a shop fund! They've already built the print table and its huge - 4' x 8' - but still need other stuff to get going... exposure unit...ink...rent (jk!)



i swear they'll make you a scarf or tee! do it!

xoxoxo

totally craving big knits

...and a haircut.

that just happened.

Peter and I are back from Cali vaykay and I've never had a worse case of jetlag. UNBELIEVABLE!!! As we walked to the Promenade today, I realized that coming home this time registered the fact that we live in the city.

Regarding the image above, Liv has inspired me to make digi collage of my fall wishez and personal forecast. While putting it together I found my color and silhouette choices to be kinda predictable. Turquoise? No way. Um yeah, for now its a mix of classic / fem / equine / yummy knits, though not enough opaque tights. (rachel comey, bbw, alexander wang, heidi merrick) I've already started compiling images for another and will update when I don't have a million other things to do. And I've got some things to say about NYFW spring 09 shows. Most notably, MJ meets Anne of Green Gables.

Speaking of a million things, we are almost done setting up our print shop. Just need to jam out the exposure unit and we'll be good to go!

PS: While in Sonora, I totally scored my alexander wang coat from above: a tweed menswear-inspired overcoat. With bits of color in the weave and ubiquitous 80's cat claw leather accents on the shoulders.
