In my humble opinion 5 minutes of something brilliant. Michael Pitt in this new YSL short that played at the Fall 2009 Men’s runway. Michael fucking Pitt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKmbesczBRQ
Show posters for Fucked Up. I need to know who drew these puhlease. I’ve been listening to them a lot lately. Read their blog: http://lookingforgold.blogspot.com/ if that’s your kind of ish.
I don’t think I need to explain how sick these are. $140 each though. Pricey but pure understated joy all the same. http://www.anomalyjewelry.etsy.com
o hai, i love your hair.
hello lovelies, here is a long ass post of stuff that I have been diggin:
Can I just blab on for a while about how much I loooooove the Sophomore S/S 2009 collection? OK so if you follow me on twitter you may have seen how I was planning a trip to the trim store? All for the sake of a DIY skirt with exposed contrasting zippers. Yes, I am all about this right now. Love isn’t even the appropriate word.
These two pair of boots have been swirling around in my mind a lot the past 2 weeks. Especially the pair on the right. It is now my goal to recreate them somehow in a black version. A pair of docs and thick grosgrain perhaps? The Elspeth Gibson docs (seen at Style Bubble) are so girly pretty. I just love baby pink anything with black. Take the ruffles off the bottom and we’re good to go!
Wanna get my hands on this Sweet Ampersand necklace on Etsy
oh yes it is.
love you
The graphic novel Ghost World holds a super special place in my heart. But in the movie version the impeccable Enid Coleslaw is played by Thora Birch and a muse is born. Seriously, the middle picture is pretty much what I looked like in highschool. So anyhoo, I know tons of folks have dissected the style of this infamous fictional character, hell … Luella even based an entire collection on her, but when I get nostalgic I just can’t help but to think of her and how perfectly that movie sums up the spirit of my teenage years.

I have a deep love affair with anything dark, romantic and slightly macabre. So it’s fair to say that a new exhibit that just recently opened at the Museum at FIT has got me a bit turned on. It is a look at the history and beginnings of Gothic fashion as well as it’s influence on today’s designer and street fashions. The exhibit will feature looks from designers who truly exemplify the spirit and essence of the Gothic aesthetic along with ensembles representing several of today’s Gothic subcultures such as Japanese “Gothic Lolitas”.
Victorian mourning dresses, Alexander McQueen and Gothic Lolitas … I’m swooning already.

Gothic: Dark Glamour
September 5, 2008 through February 21, 2009
“Gothic” is an epithet that evokes images of death, destruction, and decay. Not simply a word that describes something, such as a Gothic cathedral, it is almost always a term of abuse that implies the dark, barbarous, and gloomy. Such negative connotations have made the gothic an ideal symbol of rebellion for a wide range of cultural outsiders. From its origins in 18th century gothic literature of terror to its contemporary manifestations in vampire literature and cinema, the gothic has embraced the powers of horror and the erotic macabre. Throughout its history, fashion has been central to our vision of the gothic. The Museum at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) presents Gothic: Dark Glamour, the first exhibition devoted to the gothic in fashion, from September 5, 2008 through February 21, 2009.
