THE DEVIL & HEDI SLIMANE

There's an image in June's Vogue of Edie Campbell wearing a floor-length suede shirtdress by Hedi Slimane for Saint Laurent. She's in Morocco (always Morocco), standing next to a motorcycle that was probably sourced from the prop department that is George Lucas's garage. The dress is too long and bunches elegantly at Campbell's feet. I saw this and I thought to myself...I relent!

SLP is what it is. Slimane's brand and the pointed, some might venture to say narrow artistic vision behind it may not be avant-garde, but it's certainly got an attitude - a certain disregard for propriety, if you will - that seems to have captured a lot of imaginations. And, well - I want a wide-brimmed hat, too! (Borrowed this one from McArthur so I'm still lacking.)

I've been feeling inspired lately to try some new things with the blog. Aside from making it more "designy," I'm pushing myself to create editorial-ish shoots that reflect what trends in the fashion/beauty worlds I'm loving and how they're directly affecting my "steez." I think I've too often felt, for one reason or another, that I have to present my content here in a specific, very coded way - particularly the outfit posts. I've been thinking too much inside the box and am realizing that there are a million and one ways to share what's on my mind, how it got there and, most importantly, why I love clothes and why I feel the need to blog about them. I figure, if I'm going to lug a suitcase full of clothes all around New York City, then I'm going to put on a wig in front of a police station and pout...and pose! This week, I'm sharing my love for wigs, wool trousers and faux fur. You can check out the photos from this post on my Flickr if you want to Pin/Tumbl them!

GENTLEMEN PREFER BLONDES

Happy Halloween!

This could be an easy way to try the bleached-blonde thing without the follicle damage, no? (You’d be shocked by the number of people who thought this was my real hair. [Three.])
