She could be a farmer in those clothes.

Clearly I've been spending too much time with my niece, because it only took 5min of watching the Contemporary Strawberry Shortcake Cartoon (She's not the girl you used to know, uh uh. She's a heartless greedy ho, who grows her strawberries with some sort of nuclear fertilizer until they're the size of small huts in Africa at the expense of the starving children living there) to realize some very obvious influences. 

1. Someone in charge of this re-vamp was either, apart of the Clueless generation, or has bigger dreams of being Raven Symone's stylist. 

2. A reincarnated demon from Toddlers & Tiaras.

Bye Milano, Bye.

Milan posts have gone MIA, because frankly it was boring. Marni, Jil Sander, and of course Prada, were subtly all plenty innovative. It appeared that many more labels would be as well, with all the critics clamoring “omg real clothes, how interesting, etc…”. But it turns out "real clothes" aren’t that interesting.

After 200 or so years, I’d hope one could cut a suit with an espresso in one hand, and a smoke in the other. So, Paris onward! Current, stunning-non-boring-favorites: YSL and Kris Van Assche.

thank the travel deities!


new terminal T1 complete to further service that modest little coastal community of Barcelona. many of us remember the familiar slipping-on-the-floor/space-frame-bonanza/triangularly-jutting-terminals of the older Prat airport. however, thanks to a nice catalan postmodernist architect's vision, we can land and happily disembark via a silver-clad millennium falcon of a terminal.  ¡que todo me vaya bien cuando aterrizo en esa terminal tan desconocida! ¿ya habrĂ¡n ampliado el metro para que llegue hasta la ciudad?... o por lo menos sants. jeje.

Milano and go... Men's Shows Day 1


Ummm...Let's hope so because nothing can prevent the typical Guido-rache trippings of the Dolce & Gabbana boys from confusing us per usual. A tuxedo shirt with your speedo sir? Fraggle Rock Sweaters fospring? 

inspired looks coming monday...

Garamondella ella ella



Quickly becoming obsessed with the typeface that magically alluded my interest for years.  I have no idea how this happened, given that Garamond is about as pedestrian as Miss Miley (however far more expensive and literate). The most fun part is its clear case of an Identity Disorder. How else can you explain the fun spasms when italicized, & z (and these examples are in Georgia, but all the better to prove a point. See, she thinks she's Georgia. )
