P.S. I love you.

P.S. I Love You...a great song (click here) and a horrendous movie.

But, yet, it's also my declaration of love to Proenza Schouler's Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough for their AMAZING S/S 10 collection. Aren't I just that brilliantly, IQ 150-clever for that name?


But, WAIT! It has color? Tye-dyes? Multiple colors way out of the spectrum? And Gin, you like this? I mean, let's put this bluntly and in all caps: IT'S THE TOTAL OPPOSITE OF ME.


But, just look at how interesting this collection is. It's rebellious and cool at the same time. Plus, the sunglasses are out of this world. Don't we all need a break from Ray-Bans at some point?


The collection has a mix of tribal accessories (how L.V. S/S 09), a large cube of acid, and a whole lot of relaxation. I made fun of my Civics teacher for wearing his jacket around his waist intentionally on a field trip once (yes, I can be cruel with lack of sleep). But, here, it's just so...cool.


Even though the white dresses borderlined straight-jackets (I'm not scaring off the human race by posting them), I give a standing ovation for P.S. I have never been so wowed by their collection. Just amazing.

By the way, changing the playlist. I don't think you can listen to "Run Run Run" so many times without having to run away.

I die.

It's Fashion Week. Therefore, I must speak Rachel Zoe-ese, obviously. Duh. Of course.

Really enjoyed Erin Wasson's collection. Except I live in New England. Cold. Most of the time. And my body's not that much of a wonderland. I feel so uncomfortable showing off my abs like Freja in the first look. But, otherwise, super fantastic. (And Irina's pixie cut? Kind of sorta AWESOME.)

When I first saw this, I almost screamed. I LOVE! J'DORE! ME ENCANTA! (Sorry Spanish speakers, can't do the upside down exclamation point.) I'm wearing this to prom, enough said. Or if I suddenly get invited to some chic event in place of an awful school dance, then yes. (I hate dances.)

On my old blog, City Chic Please, I wrote a love letter to David Neville and Marcus Wainwright. Yet again, they have read my mind. They design so much to my aesthetic, it's creepy. I would write another love letter, but that would be really overdoing it. (Oh, if you want to read my former love letter, click here.)

Please bound and gag the tacky beach setting. But, the clothes were really awesome. Not as great as the S/S 09 lookbook with Kirsten Dunst. I still liked this collection though.

Will. Wear. This. Outfit. AH! This wasn't my favorite A.Wang collection (I'm a big fan of his early collections), but I loved the whole twisted Americana feel to this one. And I will put my hair in a braid sometime soon. Kind hard---my hair's curly. But, the battle will be on!

I've been so busy lately from school/fall play (director! whoohoo!)/family stuff that I'm pretty much collapsing from stress...hence me being a week late on this blog post. Just as a warning, it might take as long for the next post too.

And Brit, if you're reading this, I will forever miss NYC Art Style. RIP

The Cool Kids

Bob Dylan & George Harrison; Neal Cassady & Jack Kerouac; the Lisbon Sisters; Rick Owens; Iggy Pop; and Julian Casablancas

You know how some people ask, "If you could invite so-many people to dinner, who would it be?"

This would be my answer.

So, this is really steering away from "fashion blog" per say. But, I've lost total inspiration, for now. Stick around and there will be a...turn around, I guess.

Freedom

I love this look. I would wear the sweater over a black tank dress with Rodarte studded boots. What a divine outfit...

I'm done with finals, did my SAT World History this morning, and only have 6 more days until the last day of school. It's basically a pointless 4 days of school then a move-up day.

But, basically, I'm free!!

Oh, how do you like the new layout? I might change the posts back to 3 a page again. And if you don't know those two guys in the picture, that's Bob Dylan and George Harrison. They're basically my two favorite musical people ever. You should definitely check out their duets from Concert for Bangladesh.

PS: Brit, darling, I can't comment your posts! I have no idea, but there's no comment box! I thought I would like to tell you that. <3

Fashion Week F/W 09

So, being that I just came home from a horrific cast party (I had to see Shopaholic again at 3 in the morning. It was a horrendous movie, yet again. No one listened to me..."You're always such a harsh critic, Gin. Maybe it's good?" Everyone fell asleep.), I never knew that something like a "party" could be so tortuous. Journey blaring from the speakers? Having a horrible selection of movies?

Oh, by the way, we rented out a movie theatre for our musical cast party. It was so dumb.

ANYWAYS, the only reason I find myself alive right now at 6:51 in the morning and not being dead for about a week is fashion week. Or all fashion weeks. My favorites? I had some...


Alexander Wang really redeemed himself from his last collection, which I personally didn't like much. Now, he knows his own skin concernning design, and he'll probably stay comfortable in that skin for a long time to come. And hey, that's a benefit to all of us, right?


I was suprised by Burberry this season. It was so simplistic. Okay, it was borderline boring, but I, not wearing a color brighter than white, liked it a lot. I would wear a ton of pieces from the collection and can't wait to grab inspiration for my wardrobe from it.


I also really enjoyed Rodarte. The boots, I must admit, aren't really practical but beautiful none the less. And the clothes! The amazing clothes! Such a great aesthetic.

What are your opinions on Fashion Week[s]?

Oh, and I want to say I will be updating more often and hopefully outfit posts soon. I'll have to see what happens concerning school (aka Chemistry), but I'll finally be back.

(And if none of this makes sense, it's about 7 in the morning.)

A Monthly Review- February 2009

February went so fast that I forgot to post a Monthly Review.

FAVORITE SONG:

Norwegian Wood- The Beatles

Let me go to say that The Beatles is my favorite band of all time. And I've been listening to them so much lately, and I've fallen even more in love with "Norwegian Wood." Besides "Because," it's my favorite Beatles song, and this video has some really cool rare footage of the band.

MOST NEEDED ITEMS:

1) Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony shoes

2) Alexander Wang Croc Blazer

3) Boy by Band of Outsiders Pants

4) Herve Leger Dress

5) Jenni Kayne Glasses

LIFE MAKER OF THE MONTH:

NEW YORK/LONDON FASHION WEEK

Need I say more?

Copy Cat with Yarn

Libertine F/W 09; Chanel S/S 09

Um, yeah, Libertine? It's called Yokoo gone bad, hun. Well, technically "huns," but that makes it more of Atilla the Hun...

(By the way, I'm sorry I've been so busy. I got sick recently and stayed home from school, went home sick from school the next day, and my musical's first show opens in 2 weeks. I'm probably going to be on more seldom than I am now, but I'm just warning you.)

Alexander Wang: Uber love?

So, I was actually really disappointed by Alexander Wang's S/S 09 collection. I dunno, I never wear color. It wasn't me. And plus, I'm not sporty. I died last summer during summer gym (summer gym is when you have to take gym over the summer, so you could have gotten a lunch the next school year, which I still didn't due to bad scheduling on my councilor's part...).

But, I saw this all black collection with some white, which just epitomizes me in general, and I just died inside. I went bananas (yes, Rachel Zoe-ism indeed). I can't decide what I like more: the amazing flat boots, the fantastic geometric cuff, the Margiela-esque white oxford shirts, or just...everything! It was so good. Hence the crappy, paint valentine above.

On another note, I finally got the Metro Chic nail polish from Sephora after a couple months of it being sold out. It's an amazing color, and I can't wait to paint my nails tonight.

And since none of you got where my writing thing was loosely based upon, here's the giveaway.

Pre-Fall

So, Chanel and Burberry Prorsum were put up on Style.com. I died.

Considering I'm home sick for the second time this week, this pretty much makes my day.


I've always been a Burberry Prorsum fan. Christopher Bailey always delivers. He showed his usual, and I was happy.


But, Chanel pretty much killed me. Being a little Russian girl, I freaked out. I would have worn anything. The jewelry was the best thing ever. I would have even worn the head pieces.

And hello! Karl even made a short film! AH! (Go to chanel.com to watch)
