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!

Shalom! Bienvenidos!

IT’S COMPARE & CONTRAST TIME!

In my Poppin’ My Blog Cherry post I delivered my newest inklings, one of which was the “Long Pants”

“The latter sketch: Idea behind this “Long Pants” one piece is EXAGGERATION. ACCENTUATION. FOCUS.

“Wearing Pants? Wear Pants. Who needs a top? It’s the Recession.”

The theme with the line if there was a line, would be focusing on articles of clothing, such as pants or a blouse or a Tee or a Hat, or Socks…whatever and exaggerating them to be wearable as a main piece.”

I came across Giles Deacon’s Giant scarf today, and I think it definitely ties to the theme in my inkling, although his line consists of the scarf alone, it embraces the idea of exaggerating, and accentuating giving focus to the scarf alone not as an accessory, but as the main focal point of an outfit. The way the model wears the giant scarf in the advertisement is so cute and precocious! I would not wear a top with the scarf either, I would LOVE to wear this to brunch!

I’m just going to dive right into this with my newest INKLINGS.

The first sketch I call “Full Circle Boots” made by ROCKET ALEXI (FASHION FUC’S designing alter ego)

These boots have extensions from the toes that create circles one from each foot, that touches on the shoulders of the wearer as they finish their rotation in the back at the heels.I could see this with a nude body suit, and a bright red cow boy hat.

COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC (for my twitters eventually)*** I feel a surge of a PRIMARY COLOR palette coming on the runway…and this week  I’ve begun a predilection for RED ROSE FLORAL PRINTS.***

The latter sketch: Idea behind this “Long Pants” one piece is EXAGGERATION. ACCENTUATION. FOCUS.

“Wearing Pants? Wear Pants. Who needs a top? It’s the Recession.”

The theme with the line if there was a line, would be focusing on articles of clothing, such as pants or a blouse or a Tee or a Hat, or Socks…whatever and exaggerating them to be wearable as a main piece.

I want to note that the head dress does not belong as part of this piece, it off puts the balance of the simplicity of this one “Long Pants”.

I got lazy, and I had this big intricate headdress  inkling  daunting me for several weeks …so I just added it here to note it.  Chanel did something I would see as similar for 2010 spring I believe?

I’m going to COMPARE AND CONTRAST Runway with my INKLINGS when I catch them.

If I see that an INKLING has already been done in the current season, I will definitely note where I see it. When I see that it has predicted a future trend, I will go back and bring the sketch up and compare it.

II. Marilyn Minter Photography= HOT SEX!!!!

Marilyn Minter ( Green Pink Caviar ) for Bright Pink presents this  cotton totebag exclusively at Intermixonline.com for $48.

I’m not a huge fan of  the style of the tote bag itself,  but Minter+bag= sexy AT THE LEAST.

III. One of my Get Ups…

I. All Hail Nicholas Varney! He put a spell on me…

I first saw this ring in a Harper’s Bazaar last year and I knew I was in love. This is the only ring I would accept in a wedding proposal. Nicholas Varney makes his jewelry look so organic, naturally beautiful, Bling is dead. I Love it.I praise the understatement, the silent grace and natural shine. When someone can make a ring that can be worn like a Ring Pop to the grocery store with a fur coat, sneakers and a head sweatband and not have anyone supecting its more than a cracker jack ring, when in reality its over 12,000 dollars? That’s just Nucking Futs! Looking at it makes my mouth water and my heart melt a little.

II. Let’s Talk Origami!

At the close of 2008 and early this year one of my strongest inklings started. They were of origami like, puzzle- like pattern made clothing  so I want to back up and do a compare and contrast. When I first saw Lady GaGa’s Origami Dress my mouth dropped at the similarity. And winced at the execution of the dress… it doesn’t fit her body type(and what is with the shoes).  I read at the time that it was her own design, which was really hard for me to believe. I had never predicted… pop star designed clothing.

Today I google-d the dress to get a picture for this here blog, and found a side by side comparison of Lady GaGa’s dress to designer Thierry Mugler’s dress. That’s more like it. I like it on the model. Thierry’s makes sense.

I really didn’t think I would see Origami dresses on the runway… but then again I never think I’ll see my inklings come to fruitation in someone else’s line either so… here are my sketches. Enjoy!

III. SHOW AND TELL: Pretty beaded Lizards

I was really feeling lizard jewelry this summer and in August I was visiting the Village Fest in Palm Springs, CA and got this gorgeous handmade beaded necklace …
