me and you, and you and me

there's a new spread in vogue hailing the reunion of amber valletta and shalom harlow- "together for the first time in almost a decade"!!... it's pretty and all but i undoubtedly prefer their 90's hey day images like the ones above (holy crapballs look how young kate moss was!)... does anyone else remember when they took over hosting mtv's house of style?! i thought they were sooooo cool but also soooo boring! ha! and omg anyone else remember todd oldham's do it yourself segments?!? weren't they called "todd time"?!

you're damn right

there's something just so slick and badass about a leather trench coat... and i mean that in a less matrix more shaft kind of way... adding it to my mental salvation army shopping list for when i'm home for christmas... can't wait!

and i'm leading the pack

the hottest hair trend of the moment? the comb over part... not just for balding grandpa's anymore kids!

a different dimension

a little bit of pattern play inspiration... dying for a pair of vertical striped skinnies right now... although these are from balmain and disgustingly out of budget range, i'm sure i can find a decent pair at trash and vaudeville on st. marks place... where i also plan on picking up a cheapo neon beanie... it's finally sorta winterish here in nyc!

she's out and fancy free

put a sephora gift card to good use over the holiday weekend and picked up a bobbi brown pot rouge for lips and cheeks in pale pink... i am absolutely loving the long lasting natural flush it gives my face but i am slowly and hesitantly easing into using it on the ol' kisser... i am pretty much a chapstick only person and have always felt a bit clownish when wearing anything resembling a color on my lips... i'm hoping i'll eventually get used to it? though i will say that i do feel ever so chic pulling out the understated little pot and dabbing it on...

in a new old fashioned way

ladies and gentlemen, i give you my christmas wish list... some of these do veer on the far side of "inyourdreamswishyouwereinthe1%much?" while some of them actually are quite doable (you hear that santa?!)... but hey, the point is that it's fun to dream! so what are you all hoping santa leaves under your tree?

so the days float through my eyes

trend on the verge: tie-front dresses... as seen on rumi neely and promoted on today's whowhatwear... these are totally cute and quirky... i'm really into the beige tsumori chisato... and don't you think rumi's blue carven is like something zoey deschanel's jess would wear on the new girl (omg who saw last night's "hanks-giving" episode?! hilarious!)...

wish i was back on the bayou

sneak peak at proenza schouler pre-spring 2012 bags... i am dying over the python and that sleek chain strap... come to mama!

any old time to keep me waiting

talk about showstoppers... these aida fish scale platform pumps from alexander wang are just ridic... from the texture to the color to the stacked stiletto, these babies will undoubtedly incite mad envy in lesser footed friends!

all i ask for, all i pray

so loving rosie huntington-whiteley's sartorial choices lately... those cap-toe heels in the second pic are ridic!

don't put your trust in walls

the other day while throwing on my favorite uniqlo jeans it hit me: that for all the pairs of jeans i have, i only wear like, mayyyybe four pairs on constant rotation? so today i officially counted: 22 pairs of jeans. and yet, i stick with a select few options day after day after month after month (low-rise skinny thankyouverymuch!)... and sure, i hear you: "why don't you just donate the ones you don't wear?!" or "why don't you sell them on ebay/buffalo exhange/etc?!" but i mean, what if one i don't wear now and sell suddenly comes back in style in a few months?! that wide-leg railroad stripe pair might really be the new hot thing for fall 2012! i just can't take the chance that i had in my possession the hippest cut of a future season! ...aaaaaand such is the sickness in my fashion obsessed brain.
