Missoni Fall 2009

Big crush.
As if I wasn't obsessed with scrunched tights and leggings enough...

Missoni













I would take these nude-toned pairs under my wing in a heartbeat. They remind me of the ones Dries did a couple seasons back.

Christopher Kane Fall 2009

I'd go as far as to say Christopher Kane was my favorite show of Fall so far. Might be my current worn-in sweatshirt addiction. I love this.

Launch

Newness!
Along with the new layout, I'm excited to announce the launch of ALL THINGS ORDINARY, the zine.



ALL THINGS ORDINARY IS A PHOTOGRAPHY ZINE PUBLISHED IN LOS ANGELES FEATURING IMAGES TAKEN BY INDIVIDUALS AROUND THE WORLD. EACH ISSUE IS BASED ON AN EVERYDAY THEME.


It'll be shipping right at the beginning of March, so you can preorder now here. Copies are $8.50 each, full color and hand numbered.
It's been such an inspiring project, and I cant express enough thanks and enthusiasm for all the photographers featured. Issue Two is already in the works - more on that to come!

We've also launched a little online store where you can find it and other zines, random vintage finds and other sweet things. Still working on getting many new items and categories up so it'll be changing with every visit.
I'll be posting more detail on both soon...

The M I N I



Every vintage skirt we touch is re-imagined as a mini.
My "to-hem" pile is quite a sight to be seen.

Rabbit Fur Coat

My friend is in Gothenburg, Stockholm, Frankfurt capturing these beautiful things. Sent me off into dreamy-dream land on this rainy LA day.

Sorta Mine

Kinda obsessed.



from Acne.
The leg-elongating properties of neutral heels sighsigh. Determined to find a replacement for my last pair by spring (when I'll be wearing more beige than martha).
