Mega Headphones

I absolutely love these colourful headphones from Urban Outfitters. They're so fun and not to mention my fetish for huge and chunky things. These are perfect! I've always wanted a pair of headphones, but I've never gotten down to getting a pair because I've never come across any as cool as these. And I would definitely just wear them around as a fashion accessory as well. Too bad I don't have the $70 to spend.

Purchased on Black Friday, of course.

Oh, these little pretty things in life. They inspire me to make some of my own. Each piece is individually crafted and handmade by 2 girls who hail from Los Angeles. So appropriate for those days when I just feel really girly and feminine.

Maguy Marin

She really appeals to the PoMo side of me. I was really inspired by her work "Umwelt", which I got the chance to see over summer, when I was creating my piece "pastiche". Oh Maguy, we ought to chat.

Even her company's website is so trippy and such a breath of fresh air from the typical dance company websites that feature photo galleries and dancers' bios and what not; not that I don't love those companies. I just love this company's website for being a clear reflection of Marin's vision and personality, which I think is missing drastically in many websites. Too bad it's all in French so I can't really navigate around it too well. But it's eye candy nonetheless.

Stephen Petronio

Featuring music by Rufus Wainwright. One of my favourite performances ever.
"kamikaze ecstasy".

Made In China

Pictures from (Harper's Bazaar China)'s Olympic themed spread. I love how they are so dramatic and really, on the cusp of being overdone, yet they aren't. The saturation of drama in all these pictures are so apt and they really bring forth the feeling of the Olympic games. The pictures have a very 'China' feel to them as well, for lack of a better word. They are stunning and they evoked so many different feelings in me, which is rare coming from a fashion spread.

Falling...

These pictures are taken by Katie Grand of Agyness Deyn falling from buildings and she said she was inspired by a 10950s picture of a child falling. And though it sounds rather morbid, I think the pictures translate something quite freeing and uplifting. At least that's what I got out of it. And I really do love the motion of bodies through space as gravity takes hold of it. It's like the body is simply giving into the cosmic force that keeps us standing and upright, but instead playing with it and teasing it, almost.

Bow Tie

Bow ties for ladies? I found this picture on joannagoddard.blogspot.com and I am now pretty much sold on the look. I like th simplicity of this wool one though. I don't know how I would feel about a patterened one. This outfit really works with the woolen bowtie.

Rike Feurstein Hats

A plethora of hats reminiscent of the different classic shapes of the 40s and 60s.

Next Hairstyle?

Retrospective

This picture makes me want to knock out the lenses of yet another pair of sunglasses I have and make them into prescription spectacles.

Puff

I'm thinking this is a possible costuming idea for a piece I'd like to create in the future. Just thought I'd document it. To me, I see a hint flirtation with militancy going on in the outfit.

Good Morning

After having brunch at the lovely Olympia with CheChe and Linds, I came back smelling like food and grease. Not particularly an aroma whatsoever. NOw all I want to do is cozy up in my prison cell for a room in my comfy woolen socks.
