STYLE SNAPSHOTS

9.27.2011


from top to bottom, left to right...
1) My new favorite color combo: black & blue. I fell in love with this street style snap of Emmanuelle Alt and then this shot of Ashley Olsen and decided it's the best way to wear denim, maybe ever. I don't want to be dramatic, though. Paired with a skinnny belt and my skinny bracelet that looks like Philip Crangi.
2) I stopped into Ike's Underground the other weekend and made off with quite a haul. Here I am modeling a shirt/vest thing that looks like it came from a wardrobe auction for the now defunct My Name is Earl. I picked up some better things, I swear, but when my friend saw this pop up in her Instagram feed she said it looked like I'd been kidnapped. I think it looks like I might be trying to sell myself on the internet from prison ("And this is my gas station attendant outfit.") It's like a real-life choose your own adventure novel!
3) My dizzesk got some new flowers again. These are Lisianthus. I LOVE them. I want to strew them about my bed and lay there writing poetry.
4) The statement nail is back, and it's ready for fall. This time around I chose to keep it traditional with a classic houndstooth. The big debate between me myself and I was whether or not this should become an all-fingers affair, but it was (rightly) decided that just the one nail is a fun touch and the whole shebang would be a touch tacky.
5) Rainy day boots!
6) Laura Marling's new cd is out! I won't make a judgment call yet, but the cover art is "pretty sweet, dude."

LAURA MARLING IN BRITISH VOGUE

8.10.2011


Laura Marling's low-key folksy songs make Vogue one of the last places I'd expect to find her (especially carrying Hermès), but lo and behold. Below, three of my favorites by the brilliant singer/songwriter. (The audio recording of Failure leaves much to be desired, but the black and white video is pretty.)
