OBNOXIOUS BAG
Ever have something in your closet that is truly awful but you love it anyway? That's how I feel about this ridiculous purse I bought recently at Urban (where I used to be a hustler). I mentioned it to Leyandrea and well, she wanted to see it. It could eat 3 of my other bags for an afternoon snack, easy.
My thoughts when making the purchase? EVERYONE WILL HATE THIS.
But I can't resist peach ruffles. on anything.
A Sartorialist moment. Yes. At the movie theater. Lame.
80s SILX tunic, Ann Taylor gray cardi, thrifted plaid scarf, BDG ankle skinny jeans, thrifted crazy 90s jazz shoes, RIDICULOUS BAG from Urban Outfitters

CORALINE + DAKOTA
Why did I not hear of this until now?
Coraline is voiced by the lovely Dakota Fanning whom I have had a girl crush on since I am Sam. She has the approval of Marc Jacobs. Enough said.
I've got this Marc Jacobs ad taking up a large portion of my inspiration board.
These are swell, too.
An Olsen style fashionista in the making, non?

PLAYGROUND LOVE
Have you all seen Sofia Coppola's Virgin Suicides? It came out 10 years ago (!), but I finally got around to watching it this past week. While everyone was keeping up with childhood and high school movies I was off being oblivious and clueless (which I actually did see in a timely manner-- <3). Apparently, watching movies is a popular past time that I was never privy to. So now I'm playing serious ketchup.
I suppose our tweenage selves all wanted to grow up to be the enchanting Lux Lisbon (Kirsten Dunst) who had the adoration of heart throb Trip Fontaine (an amazingly young Josh Hartnett with a silly wig), but it was the youngest Lisbon, the first one to off herself, that drew me in. Watching Cecilia Lisbon was like looking back in time at my 13 year old self, straight middle-parted, not quite a bob haircut and all. It was almost as uncomfortable and painful to watch as it was to live through.
Cecilia is one part hopeless romantic, one part nostalgic idealist, and 2 parts dreamer. Mix it all together and she's the perfect example of the wallflower flowerchild. Living in her fundamentalist mother's imposed isolation in 1970s suburbia, it's no wonder she had to check her self out. Too bad though, because she had that lovely lace dress to prance around in.
If Cecilia were still around, and perhaps a smidge older, I imagine these might be her adornments.
I love Air's Playground Love which completes the soundtrack. What a rich and dreamy, melty sort of tune, just like the film itself.

ADDICTED
Last Friday I went to my friend Courtney's dope. mixer, appropriately called BLOW. Dope. is Courtney's line of streetwear apparel with some printed items and some custom made. Her "vandalized" lil wayne and beyonce tees are hilarious. Courtney's got a great thing going, and as they say, her logo is "fly as hell." I have to agree.
Basically BLOW was this bangin party in this new old warehouse-y space that was revitalized from a failing auto mechanic shop into a retail/art gallery/event space of sorts by local screen printers Purple Monkey. I love how they kept the loft-y industrial feel intact, with exposed piping, cement floors, and chained panels of plexiglass and wood hanging from the super high ceilings to create more intimate spaces. I used to be kind of affiliated with those kids in the early days, so it's cool to see the place finally coming into its own.
I didn't know too many people there, but I'm pretty sure that all the cool kids were there. Lots of new faces meant lots of inspirations to mentally catalog. I wanted to take some random outfit pics but it really was soooo crowded. Crowds freak me out in an unconscious way. Everything's normal but when there are 8000 people around I suddenly find my body in panic mode --heart racing and muscles tense-- through no conscious thought or act of my own.
This girl's hair. I want it.
Luckily, there were several photogs perusing the scene. Check out the nice little blog here for some great pics. And check out the second or third pic where I'm scratching the bridge between my mouth and nose ever so gracefully, Ashley C is in the background doing something so crazy I didn't even recognize her, and Courtney looks lovely and happy as always.

WARNING
Lovers and lovelies,
You must watch out for this man. I'm going to be a nice law-abiding citizen and not post the copyrighted pic, so you must follow the link or you will find yourself in very, very grave danger.
This man is out to smoke all your ciggies, hog the covers, and then devour your heart. He is French. He is too cool for only one v neck. He prefers two, and the color black. He'll take his coffee the same way, kthx.
One commenter summed him up exactement:
"god is dead, but my hair is perfect."
