PS.

Have you seen the selection of boots at the GAP lately?

Less interested in the jacket and more focused on the whole. Gorgeous contrast. 
But I have to say a pair of Gray Tardys would really add to it.

So sad I missed you. 

i'm sorry.

i don't think louboutins are that great anymore. but, that's like, my opinion, man.

PRECISELY

"When it comes down to it, fashion is an industry operating on opinions that are informed by the insecurities of people who you know don’t eat three squares a day. Frankly, I don’t trust people with empty-stomach breath to tell me what taste is.

That’s the thing: Taste is so subjective. And because of that, there’s never a right answer about what is tasteful, and what you should be consuming, be it merchandise or meals. What I hate about fashion is that there’s too much emphasis placed on what and not enough on why. I’ve come to realize that it’s not about what I like, but why I like it."


Recently a friend asked me to describe my taste and I found myself at a loss for words. I barely managed to show her my current three top blogs: A,B, & C  (B&C found through A). Oh yeah, and of course Lulu & Annabel. Thinking it over I would describe my taste (in all aspects of life) as best exemplified by Muji and its idea of enough. Fashion is collecting and finding pieces that you can consistently rely on to define you; in any setting, at any time. On a more literal level of enough, I can't appreciate decoration without a purpose (is it even decoration then?). But I agree that for the sake of whimsy is purpose enough: a flash of color; an interesting print; unusual form or texture. It fulfills a need for humor in fashion.

vogue korea | may 2010

i want ombre dyed hair. but apparently my lush asian locks are quite coveted amongst other non-asian groups. i wouldn't want to do any serious damage to something that would solicit jealousy.

vogue paris | braids and anja.

now that my hair has surpassed the shoulder length and entering the territory of boobie length, i'm looking for new ways to do my hair. i like the idea of mixing big braids and little braids at the same time.

Can't get these FINSK pony hair boots from OAK out of my mind.
My ethical animal loving side is feeling totes guilty. Yet I never think twice about leather.

Lately I've been more into dude fashion than fashion for the ladies. (Although I did pick up two rad skirts from H&M recently; post to come). The other day at Zara I fell in love with a pair of (surprisingly difficult to find) simple, flat boots. Not unlike these Ann D's. But shorter and in a blue-grey-purplish color. Alas, they were men's boots and the smallest size was a 40.
