she's mockin'... and ballin'

Made my day when I saw one of my favorite style inspirations is also mocking, and in pink no less!

fashion adaptation - acne

A few seasons ago, Acne came rocking out with some seriously swoon-worthy biker styles.



In my dream I would be sporting one of these leather pieces while walking my dog, of course. In reality I have neither :(



But I won't cry just yet for the fashion world has a lowbrow solution to every highbrow dilemma. Star? Check. Metallic? Check. Leather? Check. Problem? Solved.

in full bloom

Spring is finally here. Hearing birds chirp, seeing flowers bloom, and grass turning green will always make me smile. Nature's time of growth inspired me to put up a little "garden" of my own. Of course the term is very loosely used as it is really just a few pots of succulents - I was reassured that they'd be low maintenance.



Unfortunately my thumb is every color but green so even the little mint I got is shriveling up mercilessly. Fortunately in the fashion world, flowers bloom all year round. Philip Lim is quite the botanist this season.



Don't stop at the torso, bedeck your neck and hands with flowers and birds!

mockery encore

still not done with high fashion mockery

tin foil hat

I am detecting a slow but steady trend of metallic/holographic accessories. At first I wrote it off as plain crazy - who wants to wear shiny stuff? But the shiny stuff eventually got to me, I think...

Stella Mccartney


Proenza Schouler

even the nerdy cambridge satchel company is getting a metallic makeover


Finally the epitome of chic, Kate Moss, a vision in hologram

mockery

The 90s was all about flaunting logos. I remember a girl from school who would wear giant logo everything - the most prominent being Calvin Klein and RL sweatshirts. Thanks to the visual harassment I have barely overcome the aversion to CK (thanks to Costa's fantastic designs). These subversively aggressive messages would have been so handy has counterstrikes.







What's next? Someone please do Chanel ;p

bookish

This brand makes me want to grab a book and geek out...
