I'M NOT A PLAYER

I just crush a lot. Like, a lot A LOT. Current objets de resistance:

1. Tangerine Lips. A pop of spicy orange against winter skin and a sea of black puffers is so inviting.

2. Chocolate covered pretzels. YUM.
3. Velvet! For being 17th century extravagant!
4. Chanel style jacket. It's a classic duh, but I especially like it when it's all cool and casual with a white Hanes tee and ex boyfriend jeans.
5. Paul Dano. You interest me.
6. Forest green. Once a loathsome shade, it's now on my list of must-have non-neutral neutrals.
7. (Faux) Fur. Now with stripeys!
8. Red tights. Go with me on this.
9. Stripes. Thin and 70s, mix them together. I grow tired of electric buffalo plaids.
10. Denim shirts, denim skirts, denim everything! I've been a lover since Day One. Annnnnnd, style.com is catching on too.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING Y'ALL

It's a surprisingly warm and sunny day in Brooklyn. So much so that I had to lose my scarf!


SUNSHINE I LOVE YOU



In a few minutes I'll be heading to an orphan Thanksgiving at Matt's house.
I'm bringing the blueberry crisp and booze.
.~*LOL*~.


Things to be thankful for: having the day off, the brilliant sun, tights as pants (in my house!), hot chocolate & cinnamon, my faithful readers, fashion epiphanies, hometown visitors, and my new job. Last but not least, I'd like to thank FACEBOOK CHAT, without which NY would be a much lonelier place.
Cheers.

I love your words.

HALF FULL

It's funny how a new reference can totally change your view on an old piece. I thrifted this XXL shirt a while ago, but never got around to wearing it because the collar fell open a little too widely.





Securing the offensive collar with a safety pin took it from sleazy 70s to quirky ingenue. The inspiration, of course, was Miu Miu Spring 2010. There is even a stripe of smocking across the top!


(Raybans make one look cooler than one is.)


The zany dots are kind of Marc by Marc Jacobsy.

I AM A CAT

I had the awesome responsibility of closing at work last night, so I wasn't too thrilled about Halloween this year, even though it is my favorite holiday (costumes + chocolate, plz and thx). About an hour before work I realized that my original costume idea (a frumpy librarian) was not going to work out, so I threw together these cat (slightly bat) ears, donned all black, and decided to call myself a magic cat, which, dare I say, is better than a regular cat.

With everyone attempting to have the sexiest/most original/ironic costume, getting back to the basics seemed fresh again. Last year, I was Daria.

What do you think? What was your Halloween costume this year?
