i love this......

please watch this gloriousness

waits

who the hell invented the fadora anyway??? if you can find out the answer and leave it on my blog then.....you'll be my new favorite person.

well, well, its been waay too overdue that i do a blog on mister tom waits. ive always admired his personal sense of style....it is always so crisp, but yet disheveled all at once. i think this harmonious combination just makes his style stand out. ive often wondered what it would be like to be in a room with tom waits, as ive always been a person who admires pure individuality. tom waits is individuality.....from his voice, to his stories, to his hats, to his way with impromptu, to his aesthetic, to his blunt intellect. all are things i truly admire about the man.....also i think,,,,just maybe he may like to follow me around for a day, he may find some very interesting subject matter for a song ;)
shine on mister waits

'This paperback is very interesting, but I find it will never replace a hardcover book - it makes a very poor doorstop'

alfred hitchcock has to be one of the most stylish men of all time (in my humble opinion). i was talking with a woman that i work with and she was telling me about her new years eve night...she said she spent the whole night watching hitchcock films and i remember thinking, "yeah, i went to a party, and definitely drank way too much champagne, stood on a rooftop with sparklers, played dice and got a new years kiss from a beauty.... but my new years night was definitely lacking mister alfred hitchcock". he is a true pioneer of so many film techniques that are still being used today and he is an inspiration to many directors. he was born in london and if you look him up on trusty wikipedia it tells a story of his father sending him down to the police station on a regular basis to be punished for his bad behavior. alfred h. you are a true inspiration for your individuality, creativity and impeccable style...

oh,
John Hughes, sweet sweet John Hughes. i know that this is late, but i wanted to do a blog in honor of him since his untimely death in august :( i watched 'pretty in pink' AGAIN for the billionth time the other night and still was blown blown blown away by the fashion in the movie. i appreciate molly ringwald's character 'Andy' for her creative and resourceful skills with fashion. she is definitely an icon. the boots she wears in the 'breakfast club' are all over the place now. 'pretty in pink' is by far one of the most inspirational movies fashion wise for me.
and p.s. i really want a pair of flat flat creepers (i know, its shameful) but Duckie's look sooooooo cute with scrunched up socks and peg rolled jeans

if i ever saw him in person i would lose it. this statement is so unbelievably true. first, i would have loved to just raid his closet....the paisley prints, suede hats, zipper leg bell bottoms, military inspired jackets, the fringe, his jewelry....makes my head spin. he's just truly is an amazing sight, too bad he's not with us anymore :(
heres my homage to those gypsy eyeyyes.................

pardon me..

ive come to realize that i think i just have trouble with the initial season change in all shapes and forms. i have trouble with the transition from summer to fall to winter not only because im FREEZING, but also because it takes me some time to transition fashion wise. i mean how easy it is in the summer to just throw on a tshirt dress and be off, now we need to put a little more planning into what we wear so we dont freeeze our little asses off. it helps me to settle into this by finding pictures of outfits that are condusive to the cold but that are also real real hott on the body......here are some latest discoveries that have basically helped to dig me out of my seasonal rut
