Flipping through yesterday's New York Times "Thursday Styles" I chanced upon an article about these amazing Lisa Perry dresses featuring photographs of art legend Andy Warhol. Wow they are fabulous! The collection will be available at the end of June and less expensive shirts will go on sale later in the summer.
I think I have made it pretty clear that I love flats (I have posted about them four times :) but I also bedroom slippers, which makes the French slipper company I Hate my Slippers pretty much my dream. These artist designed slippers will never fail to catch an eye (I know because I proudly own the blue face ones) and are extremely comfortable.
Miss Van, an amazing French artist, has teamed up with Anaoana, a fabulous Spanish fashion designer...as you can imagine, the result was pretty spectacular; sweatshirts, scarves, shirts, tights, and everything else featuring Miss Van's signature drawings.
Michel Gondry is not only a fabulous director (he is responsible for Science of Sleep, one of my all-time favourites) but he is also a gifted artist! Well, either wonderfully, or maybe just oddly, he has decided to put his sketches onto rolls of toilet paper!
These wonderful Repetto shoes combine everything wonderful; France, old-fashion, whimsy, classic (yet unique) and overall beauty!
If there is one thing I love it is turning everyday objects into art...which makes these artist-designed beach towels perfect for me! My particular favourite is this Yoshimoto Nara towel, but the Ed Ruscha, Raymond Pettibon, and Kehinde Wiley editions are not to shabby!
Today I attended one of the strangest, funnest events ever...Gary Baseman (pictured with moi above) choreographed and designed a dance/parade of the Chau (seen here) and the Tar Pit Girls (seen here) And they gave out (yes, they were actually free) the most wonderful prints and sashes!
O how much do I love Allen Ginsberg? I am a pretty big fan of Howl, but I REALLY loved Kaddish...the tragic insanity, the grappling with Judaism, his own intellectual pursuits; oh how beautiful it was.
I really do wonder if this is the best CD ever...not only does it to go helping cure aids, but it does so though amazing music by some favourites like:
Relaxation in a bottle...this amazing miso pretty "bath sake" turns the normal tub into a mermaid sea; it's scented with vanilla, orchid petals and soothing persimmon and turns the water cloudy gray/blue
When I first, very unaware, wandered into Topshop I was not so impressed with their stuff...but now I have "caught the bug" All the lace and flowers...I'm in love! I also love that even for people like me who are not worthy of wearing their beautiful dresses, can find something; they have the most amazing shorts...very dressy and wonderful, my favourite being the ones above, which of course are sold out in my size!
Well it's no secret that I love Ryan McGinely, and I was thrilled to see his amazing pictures in the New York Times Magazine, but I'm not sure how much I love the subject...MIA. Regardless, I love these photographs!!!
I love my Gary Baseman lunchbox, but if you are looking for something a little more stylish there is always this Rodarte x Opening Ceremony lunchbox. It's stylish and adorable, combing fashion and Roald Dahl! That Being said a hand-written note inside the lunchbox, indicates that it should not be used to store food...kind of defeating the purpose :/ Also, I'm surprised that it has already sold out...seeing as it is a lunchbox that can't store food being sold for $200...I suppose now that Rodarte's collaboration with target is over they are back to selling things no normal person could own.
I know I'm a little bit late on this...but how wonderful are these MARC by Marc Jacobs mouse flats??? But maybe it's for the best I cannot afford these "critters"...I'd probably spend all my time stroking my own feet!
I also love the the strappy open back on both of them
As indicated by the title of this post, I am not the biggest fan of bikinis...but all my problems have been solved by this wonderful (semi-Victorian) floral bathing suit from American Apparel.
I didn't no that dreams could come true in the form of shoes...but oh they can! I am literally in love with these Miu Miu Mary Janes; they perfectly combine trendy, playful, vintage, and overall perfection...sadly, I am going to need a VERY generous donation to afford them
I am currently obsessed with the band Broken Bells made up of my favourite producer Danger Mouse and the Shin's fabulous singer James Mercer!!! The song "October" is so amazing!
