About Me

I am an individual stuck in a rut who loves to re-name her 21 cats in the cabin she lives in at the edge of that god-awful forest on the other side of China that no one can reach.

How could I leave this behind?

American Apparel Disco Pants

Spinal Tap - Big Bottom

I hate to say it, but whenever I see AA's Disco Pants, I think of Big Bottom from the movie, This Is Spinal Tap. I know everyone would die for these trousers if necessary, but you must admit-- the pants are exact replicas of Derek Small's pants there (far left with two-handle guitar). Take the reference however you want...I don't think it's either a compliment or a insult.

But, like Almost Famous, this is a great rock/music movie. It's just so funny and hillarious.

Anyways, thanks for the TEN comments. So happy!!

Also, I'm leaving to drop my sister off at college. I'm leaving Wednesday and not returning until either Saturday or Sunday. I don't know if i'll update in the meantime, but if not, this is goodbye for now!

Oh, and hope you enjoy the new playlist. I made it without realizing it's all 60s. If you hate the 60s, get out of here.

A little rhythm on the side, just for good measure...

La Javanaise - Serge Gainsbourg
A Shot of Rhythm and Blues - The Beatles
I'm Confused - Handsome Furs
Pretty Visitors - Arctic Monkeys
When They Fight, They Fight - The Generationals
Desolation Row - Bob Dylan
Shadows - Au Revoir Simone
This Time Tomorrow - The Kinks
Salieri's Deposit - Lightspeed Champion


Finally saw Almost Famous maybe a week or two ago, and it was amazing. Absolutely brilliant.

Also, thanks for all the comments! I pretty much got all of them within 2 days! Thanks so much!

The Boy

Now, here are the inspirations:

Here's the result:

Elizabeth and James blazer, Urban Outfitters glasses, Steven Alan shirt, Topshop hat, Stella McCartney trousers, Topshop shoes

So, lately, I've been watching a LOT of Harold Lloyd films (*points to man above*). And yes, they're mostly silent. But, he was a famous silent actor in the '20s and starred in a lot of "talkies" after its creation. But, really, the films are fantastic. I just love them. My favorite is The Freshman, which is so adorable. And I love Joblyna Ralston, who starred with Lloyd in many of his films, including The Freshman.

But, Harold Lloyd basically was the inspiration for this. I also thought of someone reading a newspaper, like the picture above. I would have added some issue of NYT or something, but nah, it's good just the way it is.

Also, if you guys want to watch a clip of The Freshman, click here: x.

I'd like to thank you all for the wonderful comments! 8...wow! I'm getting a lot of readers, haha. Thank you so much...

Edit: I found this fantastic blog post about a girl who used to be pen pals with John Hughes. This really opened my eyes about how much greater he actually was and made me miss him more than I really do. RIP John Hughes. Click here to read.

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.

I smelt your scent on the seatbelt.

My current loves...in a love square, to put it cornily.

I know this is a fashion blog, but I really am interested in a lot of things equally, such as music, art, literature, and movies. Oh, and the taste of candy, haha.

And as you can see, no Beatles/George Harrison. You guys should already know I love them/him already.

Oh, loved and appreciated the feedback from the last post! I really appreciate it.

What are your current loves and obsessions?

Sorry for not updating lately. I've been so busy lately! I went to Harry Potter at midnight. Awesome, and yes, totally worth it.

Oh, and if you were looking for new music, sorry; less than half of it was recorded after 2000. Give me some new music to listen to!

I saved Latin. What did you do?




Rushmore
is such a fantastic movie. If you haven't seen it yet, you really must. It's almost as good as The Royal Tenenbaums, in my opinion.

The Day They Invented Champagne...


Gigi is one of my favorite movies (dare to say my favorite musical), and I had the pleasure to see it again today on TCM. The setting in 1890s Paris is so magical, and it has definitely been a fashion inspiration to me lately. I mean, look at these Cecil Beaton costumes! They're fantastic!

Oh, and new playlist! Yay! I needed to include more Smiths in my blog, if you know what I mean.

Wait a second! THIS IS MY 50th POST! Go me! Haha, thanks for all the support, you guys! Let's hope this blog survives another 50 posts.
