so, i've always wondered

is this some kind of joke?

-a.  

regarding my wardrobe this season.

i'm thinking turtlenecks.

i'm thinking men's oxford shoes.

(and men's oxford shirts.)

i'm thinking oversized cardigans.

i'm thinking exclusively my gold locket, with respect to jewelry.

i'm thinking all black.

i'm thinking French.

i'm thinking Marcel Marceau.

i'm thinking furs.

i'm thinking the cracked-out yet elegant lovechild of Liza Minelli and Joel Grey (wtf) in Cabaret.

my functionality level is being forced to skyrocket for the next few months, so this is the only thing i can come up with that will work for this while still being interesting.

exceptions.

while i generally find the stupid trend of flat ankle-height lace-up frumpster boots crass and irritating, i really do find these
to be quite pretty.

Christopher Kane

A 17-year-old boy I met at some random party sent me a message over myspace telling me to check out Christopher Kane's line during fashion week. I came across an outdated show; the Spring 2008 Ready to Wear line. I was much more impressed with it than the newer seasons. Anyway, to sum it up: delicate, flouncy material; thin oxfords; and crazy black and blue witchboots that ended up tying together every outfit with a satisfying punch of color.

The models remind me of The Others and Picnic At Hanging Rock.

Frost River Packs

My friend, Tom, who has impeccable classic taste and an affinity for handiness, recommended me these beautiful camping backpacks made of canvas and leather. They're made by a small company called Frost River. Unfortunately, the one I want is sold out, but at $139, I probably wouldn't have been able to afford it anyway.
