Not exactly something that should go on a blog solely dedicated to fashion....

Yes, not what I would call fashion, but I'm here to disgust you- aren't I?
But I think I found my one skill-- jerkin.
For those of you who don't know the dance, read this recent article in the New York Times!

EDIT: sorry they're half cut off. Stupid blogger format loves making my life more difficult. meh.
 so for full affect i suggest clicking on the link....

Oldish..

Ello everyone! long time no see.... happy veterans day, election day, and all the other holidays in between. Everything has been quite alright on my part. Eh so sorry I haven't had time to post in ages! Especially for halloween!
mehhh.
So I didn't exactly get pictures ON halloween (how I have no idea)...
But I have the random photo shoot the morning AFTER halloween.
Me and my friend broke into this random roof in soho (It was right above sabon so it smelled pretty amazing too). And pictures soon followed.....
sooooo.... for halloween I was twiggy!
As you can see I dyed my hair blonde for the role, I wore this amazing purple dress from H&M, pop art vintage glasses, and had some pretty insane fake eyelashes.
How was your halloween all of you all?

Lets get together....

This weekend oh so very much fun!
I set up a backdrop for moi et mon amis to splatter paint! woot.
My dad let us use his special camera and equipment and whatnot
so if I do say so myself,
the photos came out quite nice....


More posting soon....
I feel like this blog is going to be more of a "weekend activity"
because of me being a slow homework do-er (not really just a procrastinator but we will go with that)
And posting has been very sporadic but in the mean time enjoy!
p.s. Just got invited to Lookbook!
Stalk me ----> HERE <-----

INGENIOUS

Aight. 
This is just one of those quick schizophrenic posts in which I try to talk about something other than homework and sound somewhat intellectual/not half asleep. So for those living in a hole and whatnot, all of september magical things happened in NY/paris/milan/paris. FASHION WEEK. WHUT.  So I guess I will go for scattered reviews of shows that were just so utterly amazing I made a weird snortgasp of astonishment. 
VIKTOR & ROLF: I applause you guys immensely. 
Although I have gazed in awe at most of their collections.... I think this might just top them all- if that is possible. They were able to mock this idea of "HIGH FASHUNNNN" and "GEOMETRICS" (to be said in heavy french accents) but in such a beautiful and pleasing sort of way. I know Mcqueen did something similar last season but his was in more of an awkward bolder way. Here, Viktor & Rolf were able to capture this in such a pretty way, yet still show some amazing signs of innovation. I know i know, The colors are infact very cliche for spring/summer but really- its not like its going to burn holes through you eyes (even if it did.... it wouldn't look as fantastic as the dress below. And stop hating- your just jeal.) But really- this collection might inspire me to do something interesting with my tulle that has semi been squished into the back of my fabric closet. Eh.... not in the mood right now.


Makes me want to be hip and whatnot. 
Oh and speaking of colors...
I was scanning my blog the other day and realized how super depressed/gloomy my blog has been. I swear I will try to splash some color in along with super exciting news my friends! Either way- have a lovely Friday evening don't bail out on this creepy possessed sad looking child yet-
