99 Red Balloons

New Zealand based Misery is in the current exhibit "Anything Could Happen..." at Carmichael here in Los Angeles - I'm blown away by the vintage tones splashed on the sweetest characters and the fact that they're surprisingly within reach (many 350-750 bones).

Beer For Breakfast

This photo really reminds me of these I posted a while back from Marcio Simnch.



The masculine version perhaps?
Both fantastic.

Your Street Is Dark

While most of us are stuck with wretched rental fixtures, my boyfriend lucked out with this ceiling beauty. I dream of yanking it from his apartment.



ps - every day is like easter when you have bunnies.

Hey Light



Not many band photos really catch me, but this is one of them. Animal Collective...who I would actually never imagine so still.

Waisted







So nice.
Noir's button transparent leggings are still on my mind in this last bit of the hosiery-clad season.
The sophistication and sex factor of the high waisted is up there for me but I've been hit with the harsh reality that it may be a girls club - guys cant stop referencing the granny. It is truly time for them to catch up.

Clear and True

A new favourite.



For the alarmingly simple, honest captions of teenage ups and downs.
Cocky seniors, best friends and inside jokes, change, pep rallies and the like.

Future Perfect

Spring sandal pick. From Marni.



Seriously from the future.

It felt like summer in LA today and warm car rides, lemonade, lip gloss and hiding behind sunglasses have been on my mind all week. I think this pair could play nicely with the warm weatherers I currently own...Goldenbleu, Erotokritos, Ashley Dearborn.

Stay Golden

I ADORE Vanessa Bruno - she gets it and can snuggle right up with Lanvin in my last bits from Paris.

Sickbed

I've been sick in bed all weekend and I wish I could kick off the lingering funk wrapped up in this look from Limi Feu. Warm and comfy but black = not screaming yuckiness.




For proper days, I'd choose this. Celine always finds a way to tailor black in a way that blows my mind.




++ this and this jacket from Antonio Beradi

Stay Ups

I felt the Fall 08 collections from frequent favs Chloe and Chanel were mediocre at best while Sonia Rykiel fun color blocking and Stella detailing were just perfect.
