romper love.
how great is this photo? i was never fully convinced by the romper pandemic that started early 2009, but i think it might be worth it now to at least investigate. love the crisp simplicity of the one piece white broken up by the camel saddle belt and pointed flats.
new boots!
super excited for these! i ordered these last week and they just arrived in the mail today - a nice surprise on a relatively humdrum wednesday. i went a little nuts last week with some online shopping - ordered and received an amazing dolce vita cape from gilt groupe, and expecting deliveries from j. crew and urban outfitters in the next few days. i’ll post additional photos soon!
karen o and the kids - worried shoes
a single man.
an amazing film. if this is at all indicative of how designers’ forays into film turn out, all designers need to direct a feature at some point in their career. absolutely gorgeous shots, beautiful/creative use of color, immaculate production design and the fact that everyone looks like a model in this film are only a few reasons out of many why everyone needs see a single man.

Alexander McQueen found dead in his London home at... →
as the start of fashion week stirs the streets of manhattan, there is palpable gloom in the air as the news of the loss of one of our generation’s great designers absorbs into his many devotees. his death is suspected as a suicide, and while unconfirmed, the circumstances surrounding are not deemed as suspicious. truly sad.
lonny issue #3.
third issue of lonny magazine is now available; a few of my choice pages above. see the issue in its entirety here.
short stories: yea or nay?
in looking back through some digital and analog archives i uncovered a small mass of writings i’ve done throughout the years; normally i’m hesitant to share these for a variety of reasons, but i’m thinking it might be good practice to post both these and new writings (to get back into the habit of writing at least weekly) to share with my readers. but, i’m still not...

a few of my favorites from ruche spring 2010 lookbook.
poster cabaret.
originally composed of only concert and band posters, poster cabaret has now grown to encompass some amazing illustration prints by some very talented artists while still keeping true to its concert/band poster bread and butter. a selection of my favorite concert posters above, all available via poster cabaret.
a beary good day.
what great sweaters, from lu flux s/s 2010 collection. would be perfect on a day like today, where in la, it is literally pouring sheets of rain.

the sartorialist: a graceful man, a gentleman
in spirit of the fast approaching valentine’s day holiday and in contest to the ubiquitous “chivalry is dead” debate, comes a beautiful post by scott schuman, aka the sartorialist. not only does it come complete with a ‘30 rock’ reference, but he demonstrates so eloquently that grace, humility and chivalry does indeed still exist. read the entire post here, and a...
valentine's day redux: heart flowers
absolutely gorgeous post over on design*sponge today from studio choo on mini-arrangements a la chocolate heart. these pretty little things can be handed out to co-workers, friends or the whole lot can go to your significant other, but what a unique and creative way to celebrate without adding to the standard issue chocolate and dozen roses en masse. full instructions and (beautiful)...
(b)rogue celebration.
really excited about these! i bought these as a means of celebration - the company i’ve been consulting for for the last 15 months finally made me an actual employee this week, so naturally a little retail celebration needed to ensue. i’d also been on the hunt for a great pair of camel leather brogues for some time, and i truly believe these fit the bill perfectly.
