he-he-heat in your skin, pull up a chair and unwind


i've been wearing my nWo kevin nash tee so much lately. i pulled it out of the crapbox under my bed a couple months ago and since then i've been loving it all over again. which makes me realize how it's always a safe bet to keep stuff even if u dont want it taking up precious wardrobe space. i've made so many regrettable choices selling/throwing out my clothes in the past.

i found a tumblr that posts stills of b-rated movies, mainly horror and semi-gore...be warned, the images are so freaking good youll wanna save them all


SO I FINISHED SKEWL
all that's left on my imaginary to-do list for now is enjoy summer
and what is summer without big lives...and beach raves...

but say no to drugs!!!!



i finally got around to snapping an outfit
this is me looking like a regular clubchild in

buffalo platforms, hussein chalayan tee with sheer organza sleeves, patrik rzepski ss08 skirt (i love rzepski, the skirt has a hard wire-type thing in the hem so it curves out like a flower) and cdg backpack

would be super if i had a BLAND plastic cap to add to this outfit like the one mknyc, one of my fav ilikemystyle members, borrowed from terence koh


and here's what i'm wearing/taking with me to fuji rock tomorrow.
the totempole print bag is from one of bernahrd willhelm's earlier collections

ciao!

MIDYEAR RESOLUTIONS

>>first one is to get a good sturdy professional sewing machine and some sewing books starting with Pattern Magic Vol 1 & 2. i've wanted to do this for a while and i think now's the perfect time since i'll be graduating soon-- and i'll have about 9 months off to just hang out and do my own thing (besides, what do you know, i'll be pursuing a career in fashion after all! i try to keep "personal" info at a minimum on this blog but i think i will have to write about why and how i came to this conclusion...i'm sure it would be a long post and i need to figure out how to put it in a way that makes sense but the right words should find me eventually)
anyway the books are all about playing with geometry and a lot of the techniques described are ones we often see gracing the runway. i'll definitely need practice but experimenting with these ideas should yield some interesting results. there is even a flickr group where people are showing off their creations inspired by the books.



>>second one is to take more photos!i have never made a habit of carrying around a camera (although there was a time when i was really into disposables) and i'm beginning to fear that when i'm much older i wont have any photos to help me remember what my early 20s were like. i quite like the nikon d1x and i am thinking about getting one...but probably not for a while.



for the sewing machine i am considering brother's nouvelle....if you have any recommendations that would be great

have a nice flight make a night flight

discovered another super cool aussie designer by the name of tina kalivas. wouldn't this bra be great with a high waisted flare skirt and sandals??




i came across some stills of The Fall by Tarsem Singh as i was googling the japanese costume designer Eiko Ishioka. so beautiful














browsing yoox while listening to night flight by perfume is kinda dangerous, i get all excited for no reason and start impulsively buying stuff. this pretty cdg dress is way out of my price range unfortunately but it's a nice thing that you can save images and keep looking at them isn't it?where would i be without rightclick save image....


i have a soft spot for oversized structural stuff like fanny&jessy which i just discovered through stylebubble. the fringed dress looks like the perfect thing to wear when you want to go out and really dance like no one's watching


i contacted the store owner and i am going to be able to buy this crazy denim sweatshirt dress by RosenMunns! i like it cuz the pins are soo cheesy and american, yay for eyeballsss


P.S>>> i never liked Golden Goose much but something really fucked up is going on in their fall line. this is like an exact copy of junya watanabe's boot from years ago. jesus, the nerve of some "deluxe brands"......
