KENZO

I'm sure you have already heard about Kenzo, Humberto and Carol's (creators of Opening Ceremony) new project. It's so secretive and amazing and I get butterflies in my stomach every time (and there have been many times) I look through the lookbook or watch one of their videos. Can you blame me?



THE BEST VIDEO FOR LAST. KENZO IS PERFECT AND I WANT JASON SCHWARTZMAN TO MARRY ME.

Ground Control

These pictures are from Madison Australia Magazine back in October, but they were too amazing not to share. Honestly such stunning colors/clothes/font. I want to live in this editorial please.



It reminded me of the Tycho album cover, Scott Hansen is both a musician and artist. He's pretty amazing. It's dangerously easy to get lost in his blog for hours.




Check out his music. And while you're at it watch the Star Slinger music video for Mornin', it's kind of perfect and it fits in with this whole post.

Obsesse

I've noticed a pattern in my day to day life lately. I tend to fixate on different things each week, one week it could be Chris Owens from Girls and the next Mirage by Fleetwood Mac. It's odd but I kind of like it. I have something to define each week of my year in a way. Ofcourse it's not every week and the obsessions aren't always as crazy as some I've had in the past (i.e. Virgin Suicides or my 7th grade obsession of Matthew Perry) but that doesn't make them any less fun.
This week's baby crush as I like to call it, is the model Ali Michael.
I saw her at Opening Ceremony about two weeks ago and recognized her right away, and lately I can't seem to get enough of her insanely perfect outfits and even more insanely perfect eyebrows. I mean look at them.

But her outfits are the thing that really kills me. Her style is so clean, that's the best word I can think of to describe it. She makes me want to throw out my entire wardrobe and only wear black for the rest of my life. But I wouldn't come close to achieving the emaculate look of her outfits.


Check out that amazing beanie. I think I want to DYI one with some vintage jewelry and pins, it's too great.

Spring dreaming

Ok so I know it's only January and I should still be enjoying cold wintery things but that seems a bit impossible. It's so warm here in California and all I want to do is lay around in the sun and wear pretty dresses and listen to Girls. Which isn't helping with this spring fever right now. I'm sure you've already seen their music video for Honey Bunny considering it came out months ago, but I still haven't gotten over how great it is. If you haven't please watch it a few times, and then a couple more times, and then some more and then maybe you'll understand why I'm so obsessed.



First of all Chris Owens is perfect/the absolute love of my life, but can we please talk about his girlfriend? Her amazing blonde hair makes me want to cry out of envy. Also I love the fact that she's wearing Chris' jean jacket, why can't I have a beautiful boyfriend who I can share clothes with??
I've wanted one of those Girls patches for so long but they sold out forever ago. Boo, life is sad. But then I just watch the video again and I feel a little bit better.
AND OH MY GOD HER SHOES. They remind me of the shoes from Chloe Sevigny's latest collection at Opening Ceremony.

Want to hear a sad story? Ok well I'm going to tell you anyways. I have been in love with these perfect platform sneakers since her collection came out and have since been saving/waiting to buy them. They are a lot of money, and last thursday I finally gained enough courage to go for it. I LOVE THEM AND I SHOULD HAVE THEM IN MY LIFE! At least that's what I kept telling myself as I hesitantly entered those 16 silver numbers on my credit card. I was freaking out a little that I just spent every last penny on sneakers but my vision of looking like this in two short weeks was canceling out any regret.


Well as I sat in my second period math class the next day, the only thing keeping me alive was the thought of those god damn beautiful shoes. A few minutes later I got an email on my phone from Opening Ceremony telling me there were no shoes left in an 8 or a 9, I honestly thought I was going to start crying in the middle of class. ALL OF THAT SELF CONVINCING AND DAY DREAMING OF DRIVING AROUND SAN FRANCISCO WITH CHRIS OWENS FOR THIS?! An automated email telling me that my dreams were crushed and I should just get back to logarithms with my stupid old converse. So that's the end of my pity party, dry your tears now. I know how heart wrenching it is but life goes on. And I'm hoping I can get my hands on them when they restock in March. BACK TO HONEY BUNNY.
Drool with me a little longer.











I can't get any of these dreamy, perfect images out of my head. I just want it to be spring or summer or some season that involves firecrackers and jean jackets and ME OWNING THOSE CHLOE SEVIGNY SHOES ALREADY.

I've also been working on my collages a lot. I hit the jackpot with my parents/grandparents old pictures. They are too good, and I've been having so much fun looking through all of them and adding to them. Here are some of my favorites plus a collage I did with a picture of my dad's apartment in london when he was my age.
