For lack of better words…

MEDIUM: ACRYLIC, HAIR, PLASTIC, WIRE, VIOLIN STRINGS, BEADS

NEW INKLING: SO THESE  BOXES AND OTHER SHAPELY, AESTHETICALLY APPEALING CONTAINERS SIT ON YOUR HEAD, TIED DOWN WITH A RIBBON/SCARF UNDER YOUR CHIN.  IT’S PURPOSE IS TO HOLD YOUR BELONGINGS AND ACCESSORIZING OF COURSE.

I  HAD AN INKLING(11/17/09) ABOUT WOOD, AND/ OR WOODEN RECTANGLES ON THE LEGS LIKE GOALIE’S HUGE SHIN GUARDS THAT I SKETCHED OUT, BUT DON’T LIKE IT,  SO UNLESS I RE-SKETCH IT (WHICH I DOUBT) I’VE JUST MENTIONED IT.

I ALSO HAD A  INKLING STARTING YESTERDAY ABOUT GLADIATOR TYPE BODY ARMOR AND THE PLEATED SKIRT STYLE. I WILL  WAIT IT OUT A BIT TO PAN IT  OUT A BIT,

TODAY I FEEL LIKE THERE IS GONNA BE A BOOM IN HEAD WEAR. DRIVING  I HAD A THOUGHT ABOUT THOSE PAPER SAILOR HATS WE ALL MADE AS CHILDREN, AS REAL HATS.  I WILL DRAW AND POST  THIS, NOT TODAY.

I FIND MYSELF TO BE QUITE FINNICKY WITH PURSES. I HAVE SUCH A HARD TIME FINDING BAGS I LIKE ONE HUNDRED PERCENT. ON A RANDOM TRIP TO TARGET, I SAW THIS WALL OF PURSES BY CARLOS FALCHI PRICES VARYING FROM 19.99 TO 49.99 OR 69.99. ONE REALLY CAUGHT MY EYE  THIS PURPLE ONE AND THEN THE BLACK ONE WHICH WERE BOTH STEALS PRICED UNDER 30 DOLLARS. THE WHOLE LINE  IS PRETTY APPEALING.

LINGERIE TOPS AND LITTLE BOY TEES ARE WHAT I FANCIED THIS LAST TIME AROUND TREASURE HUNTING, ALL IN GOOD TOM BOYISH FUN.

I SELECTED SOME PREVIOUS HIGHLIGHTED THRIFT STORE FINDS TO POST AS WELL BECAUSE I THOUGHT WHAT THE HELL!

Hello Hello to my imaginary friends in my imaginary world!

I have Never paid full price for a pair of Miss Sixty jeans before. No, I retract that statement I have never paid for a pair of Miss Sixty jeans PERIOD.  I don’t know if its my ass, or what but every time I would try them on, they were just not quite… Almost there, almost cute but never.. enough.

Anyhow, I came across this ad in Nylon while I was waiting for my car to get serviced across the street at the 7-eleven free mag surfing, peering up every forty seconds (I’m an anxious child)…(Crap, the nice old service man found my bottle of boos in the trunk too I could see his pause from across the street when he opened my trunk. I giggled inside ’cause it isn’t mine….) Anyway so I come across the Miss Sixty’s ad for these denim capri jeans and how they are bringing the favorites back or something…Er? whatever, all I know is I NEED a pair of these PRONTO! If any of you are addicted to clothes and funky junk as I am, you know what I’m talking about! When you can’t stop thinking about that damn thing you want, you daydream about it, you breath about it, you could swear you are in love with this item, until you get it in your hands and you can rip off the tag and then you OWN the bitch! well that’s how I feel about these jeans. It’s one of those I wouldn’t wait for to go on sale like (Miss Sixty’s are usually good for) even though I KNOW these won’t be flying off the shelves  too quick for a couple reasons: A) they aren’t the kind of jeans everyone’s gonna wanna wear B) they are 198 buck-a-roos oh and do I hear Target is the new black? I need them. sigh.  (I prefer these in classic blue denim)

VICTOR & ROLF

There are a few designers that I really feel on the same wavelength with, which keeps me sane at times when I am quite unsure of my sanity and my inklings.

Victor & Rolf, I feel like we could play in a sandbox together in the Land of Fashion. Their imagination seems unscathed by adulthood. Rare. I was looking through their Spring 2010 collection, They hit it for me. Beautiful. Exciting! They are fearless. Sometimes I see a collection and it seems… misleading…or misled. Like the designer played it safe.. So far I haven’t seen anything that made me feel that way with Victor & Rolf. Here are some pieces I especially like from the Spring collection.

So I know this style has been out for a while, but I didn’t have my blog til now right? So I need to touch on this jacket because it was a key player on this year’s runway. And it’s HOT now and forever more!

Okay, So I love it, right? Duh, everyone does. I mean anyone who can’t afford it would sell a left foot and a right pinky toe for it! So what can be more irksome than people who have it in all the different colors and NOT know how to WEAR it! Give that shit away! You don’t deserve to wear it! And so I won’t mention what Hollywood is wearing all the time in my blog I promise, but this needed to be said. It’s like they say with cars, “If you have a____ drive it like a f***ing ____!”

In the past months any mag I pick up is graced with some celeb wearing this gorgeous Balmain jacket,  from beyonce to whom ever, to Rihanna… Rihanna… Oh Rihanna, she has had alot of press this year hasn’t she? good and bad, mostly bad, but isn’t she known as like a fashion icon or something?   I don’t even wanna see the whole length of this. Wince. If you cannot discern what’s wrong here or strongly disagree, contact me on your own time we can talk about it. Four words… Pass- it- to- me.  Sorry to be so rigid, but if you’re about style, be tough or get fuc’d.

Jennifer Connelly is the one woman I would change my sexual orientation for, I think.  I have thought about this. Whenever guys would ask that stupid question ” which celeb would you do?” I would think for so long but reply no one I could not remember for the life of me, “who is that one female I think is really really hot all around?” There was someone. Its her.

So My homage to you, Jennifer Connelly. But in all seriousness, here is Hollywood that can WEAR it! Dammit!

(Although, in this one below, I can’t say I am completely enamored by the black and white gladiators with the dress..kind of off putting isn’t it?)

See I daydreamed of these square shoulders for a good period of 2008 until I finally had to put the head -acha on paper and clear the space for something new, but that’s when I knew it would be a major runway trend, when it struck a chord in me for so long.

I also want to mention (and then never again! I promise for my friends who have listened to me bitching about this one since bruno…) that I had a MAJOR  inkling for the Dolce and Gabanna one dimensional circle dress trend in late 2007. I called it the Papier Doll collection I wanted to make it one day.. a dress flat like the paper dolls we used to play with in grade school with the white tabs? And then I saw a Bruno article with a clip when he’s crashing the catwalk and I saw the dress, and my heart stopped. That’s when I first decided I NEED to start putting my inklings on paper, and somehow get it out to the public… my sketch for that one is so discernibly bad I’m not even going to put it up, but I shared that idea with quite a few confidants, if you don’t believe me!
