child is born it needs protection

erin wasson (a model who single-handedly made being from texas 10x cooler) vs. zadig + voltaire. 

WOO! when is this shit gonna be available?!

got back from a 2-week trip to london yesterday night. 

there's so much to say, i'm not gonna say it all.

fashion related - london has the best street style i've witnessed yet, even better than deep new york city. i loved just sitting at a cafe, watching fashionistas strut by in their burberry coats and punk studded boots. 

i'm going back to london next summer... i'm already counting the days!

bob marley + the wailers : high tide or low tide

(buy the song off itunes, help feed east africans! it's a good song + a good cause, kids!!)

t.u.k. shoes from trash n vaudeville. i cannot choose which ones to buy...

another erin wasson delectable -

beam me up, scotty

summer/fall '11 shopping =

 (i can now buy this shit given that i was paid yesterday, woohoo!)

(this is unrealistic.)

get yer chola barbie on:

i had a whole bunch of adidas original pairs when i was a kid,

but i've outgrown them. buying some new, squeaky-clean ones from the adidas website (hey, it's summer of '90s nostalgia after all, right?), but i can't decide between black+white or white+blue.

both maybe?

  

marla was my favorite character from fight club.

i haven't seen the movie yet though

philosophy from a few seasons ago

ta-ta!!!

july: plastic shards

having someone threatening to burn your house down (starting with your bedroom) makes you think.

a plastic kaleidoscope with teeny photographs inside
notes of love scratched onto plastic jewels,
pink plastic shoes, they were yours & mine as well

moodboard/collage thing above...

cleopatra & plastic mcdonalds watches & prada & crystals & scifi dresses

savage beauties n' dark sides of the moons

i went to the alexander mcqueen: savage beauty exhibit at the met in NYC. (just got back from the city a couple days ago.. i can't wait to go again)

the exhibit was beautiful, and the closest i'll ever get to seeing a mcqueen dress. the highlight of the exhibit was a small glass pyramid with the kate moss hologram from the fall 2006 show dancing inside of it..  hypnotizing. 

the 2012 resort collections have come & gone quickly!! 

my favorite collection this time around is from christopher kane. no surprise.. his last two resortwear shows were kick-ass. THE BOMBS, THE GALAXIES

(he makes fashion so much funnnnn!):

note: THE BAG. THE SHOES. how fitting was it that NYC just passed same-sex marriage :,)

carven was also cute:

"its the beat of my heart!!"

lil wayne - how to love

summer babies

never really cared too much about katy perry, but my friend just showed me her new music video and it's pretty hilarious.

the outfits... as if i needed any more proof that the 80s are seeping their way back into our lives 

("KENNY G IS YOUR UNCLE?? RIGHTEOUS!!")

big news:

the Mavs won the nba finals!! I'm so proud and so happy. dirk really deserved the championship (the first of several, i hope)

also.. JJ BAREA! Bringin' it home for the shorties!

I saw "super 8" the other night.

"the goonies", "jaws", and the indiana jones series are my favorite movies of all time - of all time - and "super 8" was pretty much a mishmash of Goonies + ET + Jaws (with other Spielberg-y elements included). 

go see the movie. see it for the kids, the suspense, for the seventies outfits/theme music. 

Elle Fanning was absolutely adorable in this movie - adorable in a badass sort of way, that is.

also, the chubby kid (whose name escapes me) seriously reminded me of le truffle shuffle. this is reason enough to go pay $9 at the theater

elle from last season's Lula.

again in lula.

miss elle's becoming quite the little pre-teen presence in the fashion world at the moment. she's landed several editorials like this one, and apparently she's buddying up with kate and laura from rodarte now, too. love her eyes, their so fairytale-like.

finals

i'm currently "studying" for chemistry and spanish finals tomorrow.

finals are alright. they suck, but they're alright.

to me, they're just one step closer to summer.

(oh, summer. where have you GONE?!?!)

above = the things that frightened me when i was seven,
but for some reason i love all of them today.
(neon colors, denim, 80s movies, snakes, ninjas)

so, i dyed my hair pink!

but it washed out.

hence, i'm trying again tomorrow.

i hated 80s movies. i liked watching black and white movies with my mom, and 90s movies were fine, but the 80s scared the shit out of me. now they're my favorite cinema decade (almost). 

stops before the bad part:
