STOP IT RIGHT NOW

Wishing all you guys an excellent new year. Hold on to the rad moments in 2009 and let all the rest go. Fresh slate for 2010. Thank you for all your support and I promise I will try to be better about updating in the future. This economy sucked ass this year, but hopefully will take a turn for the better soon. All we can do in the meantime is support fashion and do our part to stimulate in any way. So go out and buy your Chanels or Target tees or vintage finds, it's not about the price or brand, it's about how much you love it and how you wear it. Be yourself...because there's no one better than you.

usual suspects

Marc Jacobs watch band bracelet, Keerstin Wintrup leather snake bracelet, H&M ring, vintage ring, Casio calculator watch, gold two finger ring, my mama's ruby and opal ring, and my new Nolex. Thank you Pixel Man ♥

2010 is starting off fuckin right. new Ann Sofie Back x Topshop collabo. yes.

visited opening ceremony the other day and stumbled upon the jacket below. i can't even begin to tell you how gorgeous they are. the fur are individual little tassels and the buttery leather is just heavenly. it's the only leather jacket that has rivaled my Ann Sofie Back one. it's official, i'm obsessed.

BANG BANG

i love when you just sort of stumble into a good movie. a friend was playing The Brothers Bloom last night and i got sucked into watching it. it was pretty entertaining considering i had no expectations going in and had never heard of it. it had some people i'm really into - Adrien Brody (love that nose), Rachel Weisz (so gorgeous), and Rinko Kikuchi (Babel, duh). it's funny and light, but the best part for me was the costumes - mainly Rinko's character, Bang Bang.

Margiela blond hair coat?

asian tourist, cameras? check.

Chanel glasses?

looking great while blowing stuff up. what more could a girl want?

the ones that are out are great and all...

but whatever happened to these??

no dice?

no words.

go to insurgency inc if you haven't already.

as i type this my hands are numb

Alexander Wang booties

April 77 Navajo Jeans

HOME AT LAST

so what i was alluding to in my last Ann Sofie Back post finally arrived! i've been STALKING this assymetric leather biker poncho since her AW08 show and it's been near impossible to track down....

UNTIL NOW!

the right side is like a poncho/cape that warps into a classic moto/biker jacket on the left side.

worn with vintage Dead Kennedys tee, Forever21 black jeans, Marc Jacobs buckle boots

it's absolutely breath-taking and i seriously have NO words for it. nothing does it justice - certainly not my shoddy pictures. i swore when i saw this on the runway i would never need another jacket and now that i have finally procured it, i'm fairly certain i won't. i mean i can't promise or anything :) but how do you top something like this?

i know the ultimate question will be HOW i came upon this holy of holies, and the answer is...

The Convenience Store

i managed to track it down to this great great boutique in London and after some correspondence with the wonderful shopkeeper, Andrew Ibi, i was on my way to owning my dream dream dream jacket! not only is Andrew super duper nice and extremely helpful, but he has a true appreciation for his customers' love of fashion. it's a really refreshing experience shopping with him! my lovely package came with an advertising insert with their signature green stripes on the cover. inside are sketches by Andrew himself and ads of various brands carried.

The Convenience Store carries such brands as Gareth Pugh, Boudicca, Ann Sofie Back, Rick Owens, Hannah Marshall and more. they have an amazing selection so be sure to check out TCS at the below address if you are in London or check out the website here.

STALKERISH

posted about the Sheefun for Ann Sofie Back AW09 sunglasses a while back and i've been stalking them ever since. if anyone sees them available anywhere please let me know!!! was checking the site the other day for any new news and thought i'd post these equally awesome accessories from the same season. images are from the sheefun website.

dripping belt why not.
