Disgusting

Rihanna’s supplemental Vogue Italia cover is out and I can’t WAIT to get it to see the spreads because if it’s anything like this cover, she murdered it!  I’m disgusted with her right now, in a good way.

Be Still My Beating Heart

I needed an entirely new post for this.  I’m ignoring Agyness and looking at the clothes, my heart is officially…………………………………

To say Michael was ahead of his time during his prime doesn’t even begin.  I was one of the few 80s kids without my own Thriller jacket, only because I was so afraid of  Thriller I couldn’t even eat Ore-Ida french fries because it sounded too much like Ola Rae, but thats a story for another day.  Don’t judge me.

I’m Seeing Shapes That Haven’t Been Named Yet

 

I’ve never been a huge Harper’s Baazar girl but I may have to get this fashion issue.  I’m loving the Michael inspired cover(minus Agyness, not a huge fan of hers)  and this spread.  You know I’m loving the structure of the pieces which makes sense considering the spread is called The New Shapes.

It’s Just The Chicago In Me

 

I’ve come to the conclusion that for the rest of my life, thanks to growing up in the weather challenged city of Chicago that the month of August will forever mean 2 things for me……the summer is coming to an end and its time to start looking for fall clothes.   Not that its been ideal weather in LA this summer anyways, but I’m already thinking in terms of fall due to 20 some odd years of Chicago winters that have scared me beyond words. 

Every fall I go through the battle of trying on coat after coat until I find the perfect one that will get me through the winter.  The goal is to find one that has a high enough collar that protects my neck from the wind, is nice and thick and has a rich color.  What ends up happening is when its damn near 0 degrees I get so desperate to just stay warm I’ll walk around in a heated comforter before caring less what my coat looks like. 

I saw these coats in Harper’s Baazar UK and thought how perfect they would have been back when I walked 15 blocks downtown to work in 10 degree weather to allow me to stay warm and still cute.  Well at least 2 of them would get the job done.  The others would be perfect for valet.  Now do you see why I moved from Chicago?  Me and the cold are not friends.  All it takes is a fall/winter coat and I go on a long ass rant lol.

 

This, for example is perfect.

These two on the other hand wouldn’t see the light of day after December.

This one is perfect for the fall, after that…mehhh.

There Are boots…And There Are BOOTS

And these are BOOOOOOOOTS.

Runs In The Family

 

My niece and nephew are back home after spending a few weeks out here in LA with me, I miss them so much already, especially after seeing this spread of Coco Rocha from Vogue UK.  My 10, yes 10 year old nephew had me going all over looking for a hat exactly like the one above but we couldn’t find one that would fit his little head.  He wanted it to finish off his “signature look” (his words not mine) when he started school.  He wants his own what I wore daily blog and they are planning to start their own fashion line in the future.  I just want 10% when they blow up lol.  Anyways I love this spread.

Noctambule Gets Better Everytime

Saw this over at Trendland and had to repost one of my favorite spreads, Noctambule, shot by Terry Richardson of Daria Werbowy for Vogue Paris May 2007 issue.  Everything about this entire spread was perfect, Terry is a genius and Daria killed it.  The slits, sequins, paparazzi-esque shots, all of it was too much for me.

 

 

 

 

 

Yummy Yummy Yummy

I don’t know why but lately when I see a spread I love instead of the usual frozen state I go through where I don’t blink, breathe or move until I have looked at every angel of the spread minimum 10 times, I’m instead have just been wanting to tear it out of the magazine and just eat it.  Not that I’ve done it before but for some reason it sounds like a good idea now.  Maybe because in my mind I’m convinced if I eat the spread, I’ll end up wearing it.  Or maybe I’m getting desperate to get pieces I want and that’s the latest idea I’ve come up with lol. Either way, this Numero spread is muy eatable.

Ladies Always Wear Stockings

I love this spread from the June/July issue of Vogue Paris shot by one of my favs, Terry Richardson.  Hmmm, I may recreate that shot in front of the Eiffel Tower while in Europe, minus the skates.

I think I love this spread because it reminds me of my Grandma who taught me ladies always wear slips, stockings, earrings, and lipstick.  Hmmm, considering what I see daily on the streets of LA sounds like Grandma was describing prostitutes…and they weren’t born ladies lol.
