BOLD HYPE IS SO RAD!!!!

Yeah, So I Pretty Much Never Get Invited To Parties like This…I Wonder Why?

June 21st, 2009

Pics from The Sartorialist.
Gahhhh I love The Sartorialist for these kind of pictures. How do they get to go to parties like this? I have seen a few, and I actually think the last one was a Great Gatsby party. What? Is this some kinda rich person thing that I just don’t get and never receive invites to because I am not classy or rich? I don’t know but I am DYING to be that kinda gal who lives like she’s Daisy Buchanan. No work, just mint juleeps an iced tea on the verandaaaaahhhh. We could even modern-ize it a bit.. There could be East Egg/West Egg gang wars and Tom would be like Ed Begley or Crispin Glover…ok, perhaps that’s too far. I’ll stop.
These are from Dance Day Sunday, Governors Island.

Brogues Upside Yr Head.

June 21st, 2009

Ohhhhhh man, I flippin LOVE these shoes! Any flat and pointy shoe seems to appeal to me lately- I dunno something bout summer maybe…I mean, sure brogues, oxfords and jazz shoes are an obvious win in the fall with plum or grey tights and cute winter-y accessories, but in summer? Those things look unbelievable with ragged out cut offs, crisp cuffed shorts, high-waters, skinnys, anything. There is something about a dapper dress shoe with a summer sundress or onesie/jumper that is almost to adorable to be real.

Go West, Young Lady

June 21st, 2009

It’s been done a billion times, I now this. But holy damn, do I love some western wear right now! My feelings for fringe at the moment are only overshadowed by my deep and abiding love for brogues, jazz shoes and oxfords (see above) I guess there is reason we keep coming back to it- I blame Wendy Mullins for this, but I suppose I blame her for everything good.

Babyyyy, If You Only Knew…

I am really missing the days of mix tapes. The anguish of making them, figuring out the order, the inspiration, the hidden messages..Will the recipient get what meant when I put this song in? Ratio of meaningful to silly? And when you receive them? So exciting! I was telling M how burned cd’s are just not the same, no soul and such, blah blah….and then i rediscovered a mix cd James made for me and it completely made me eat my words. Amazing amazing amazing- every song a gem and almost none I already had. Thanks Jimmy- sorry I am terrible and didn’t shower you with glitter and candy to appropriately express the gratitude I feel….however, still a bit salty about the time you told me I was “a lil catty”…. man, way to cut to the core!
