eclipse

i dont know why i bother saying that eclipse was amazing because everyone already figures that, but it really, truely was. and you can always tell that as the movies progress, they just keep getting better and better. and i also really enjoyed how close to the book this movie stayed, because i think that is the most important element. megan, daneal, paige and i all got to the movie theater at 9:20pm and waited until 12:05am just to see it. the movie theater sold out of tickets at 800 just for the midnight showing, but still people were coming during that time buying tickets for the 2:30am show. i recommend it be seen, it is extremely great. other than the movie i did nothing today except go see my dentist, go to work, go out to eat and go see the movie.

feet

i am really, really obsessed with comme des garcons feet shoes. i cant even remember how long i have been in love with them, and have since sadly forgotten about them until the other day when i, for the first time, visited my sister anna's best friend josefin's new blog. it is very nice, but although it is almost entirely swedish, my computer automatically translates it. anyway, her post where the wiktor was a blessing, and it gave me the greatest idea of making my own "feet" shoes! although i love comme des garcons shoes, i think that when i make my own they wont have the red toe nails... but i'll still consider it when the time comes. speaking of which, this weekend i am heading to good will to check out their shoes and button down white shirts; i could probably find a great pair of black shoes from $5-$10 at the most. i'm excited, they are both my new diy projects.
by the way, anyone who gets a chance and really loves fashion take a peek at josefin's blog.

hair

a major new trend that has been seen in many years past has gradually been gaining popularity. according to people in london's camden town, they preferred light pink and lilac colored hair like that of peaches geldof, dree hemmingway, natalie portman in the movie "proximity" and lady gaga on the cover of billboard. on the other hand, people criticized tavi gevinson for having a silver shade to her hair but at the same time fell in love with kate moss' temporary silver shade. i think it just all depends on the color of dye that should go with your hair color. i personally wouldnt mind having either a lilac or pink tint to my hair. i think overall this trend is very beautiful and very becoming.

national anthem


yesterday was anna's 18th birthday. my family and i called her house and suprised her with a happy birthday song, then thankfully we video chatted on skype for 20 minutes which i know we all needed. and this video, well i was feeling a little bored and wanted to spice up the star spangled banner. i love the low keys that my voice hits, and my never ending note holding at the end of the song. hooray.

LL

leigh lezark would be my only reason to become a lesbian, and fortunately for me that will never happen. but everything about her is just so mysterious and even though i've never met her, her pictuers just give off this vibe like she knows what she's doing. and she is a great style icon as well. her jet black hair, dark eyes and alluring look could capture anyone.

splatter

ink-spattered tops at dries van noten

it seems as though paint splatter has become the new tie-dye. frequently seen during men's fashion week, dries van noten and gaultier both flashed pants, knits and shirts covered with splatter. not only is this new trend capturing many with it's alternativeness to tie-dye, but it is also longed for because of it's rougher, more masculine edge that it brings. i wouldnt mind having one myself, in fact this is going to be my new project. i will collect a white, button down shirt and some darker paints (above) and i will hand paint it myself. as tim blanks reported, "the blotches were hand painted in couturiers in como."

photographers

the photographer's include paolo roversi, sarah moon, andreas gursky, gregory crewdson and cyril arseniev.

"In general , my pictures - a portrait . My nude - is also portraits. In each portrait the most important - it is the eye . I can not technically explain why the models look more deeply, more touching , more human , if the photographer uses a long exposure , but it is. I realized this, studying the experience of the earliest photographers , which, owing to technical features of cameras of that time were forced to use long shutter speed. And the portraits were much more profound and mysterious . " paolo roversi

"I do not like the color, it confuses me . I believe that the essence of photography is black and white. Color is a deviation . Except when it becomes void , unreal, as when shooting at Polaroid, or as in some photos, Paolo Roversi, where the color is smooth, quiet ... " sarah moon

milano

because i ran out of these amazing rasberry milano cookies yesterday, i decided to venture to the store in order to buy some more. although they werent stocked with the rasberry cookies, they did, however, have double chocolate and mint; i got both. of course i dont eat them all at once, thankfully they make you sick feeling if you eat too many at once, but when you have a craving for something sweet they are great to snack on. but i still am stuck on the rasberry kind, i havent tasted anything better... yet.
and thankfully anna sent me a message the other day; that was all i needed to lift my spirits just a bit. we're both going through the same pain right now, but no matter how long it takes her to feel like she's ready to skype, whether i am up to it or not, i'll continue to wait each day for her. i will always be here for her. i love and miss you anna, no matter where you are in the world.

clean and green

i plan on investing in one of these mugs in the near future. they are really versitile and eco-friendly aka recycled material (which is a biggie for me). the 20 oz. is only $11.95 which is a great deal considering it's reusable plus you can take it into starbucks and have them fill it with your daily espresso. considering it's made from 30% post-consumer recycled content plus it's trendy, who wouldnt want to make this green purchase?
p.s.- speaking of purchases, dont forget to purchase your "the twilight saga: eclipse" tickets for the midnight showing if you havent done so already. after all, there is only eight days before it comes out!

new morning

share some

with men's fashion week rapidly approaching, it's nothing new for dolce and gabbana to create another great campaign; a trip to the tailor. the lusty models participating include noah mills, adam senn, and sam webb, arthur kulkov and evandro soldati. i'm sure their ego's are just bursting now that these pictures have been released. photographed by steven klein.
