Everything about the brand was intriguing. The clothes were interesting, conceptual, often irreverent. Not always beautiful but then again, one of the most interesting things about <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Margiela's</span> clothes is that they challenge your perception of pretty. They can border on kitschy and are heavy on the concept. <div><br /></div><div>Within the past few years, the elusive designer has left his eponymous label and while his design team are very competent and the label is known for its collective nature. Many fans of the brand have noticed the spark of brilliance missing from many of the clothes. With that being said. While the clothes might not feel as exciting as they used to, the accessories on the other hand still make me tingle. I just wish my bank account could handle my love for these accessories </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>jchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02416082625273528934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669652316207234579.post-1179797025918354182010-07-15T20:56:00.000-07:002010-07-15T21:05:32.133-07:00<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;">Yes yes blog hiatus.

I'm desperately needing a cigarette which can't be had until my parents leave for work at 8ish. So I 4 hrs to go. I'm contemplating my life and the priorities, that have recently been in control. I'm finally taking a hard look and reevaluating what I'm doing with my life. I have spent many hours in bed wallowing like a tragic hero who has fallen due to hubris. And in a way it was hubris that has brought me to this point. Countless times, I laughed in the face of the academic gods, giving them half assed attempts at being a student. And it worked too! For awhile at least.....and then the many all nighters and late assignments caught up to me. One day I realized where the attitude had gotten me......Nowhere. I had become an average student with no exceptional talents or skills. I had friends who were exceptional musicians and artists or writers. I had dabbled in all of those things and showed talent in all. What made me different from them? Why didn't I have a talent that destinguisded me from everyone. I realized now that I had no drive. They all were trying to be the best they could be. I only had the drive to be the best until something got too hard and fustrated me. Then I cut and run. Which is exactly what happened with school.<br /><br />The right thing to do when you realize that you've become mediocre at everything that you have tried, is to actually work harder and show the world what you're made of........I did exactly the opposite I gave up and became a recluse. I slept to escape reality knowing that it was only a temporary fix. And now I am finally waking up. No more half assed attempts at life. I am going to idnetify what I want and get it.jchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02416082625273528934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669652316207234579.post-58810064310309841102009-05-25T13:37:00.000-07:002009-05-25T15:02:11.589-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q316/savanna427/kayheyes1.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://i139.photobucket.com/albums/q316/savanna427/kayheyes1.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />Today has been one of those days where staying in bed is the only option for happiness. And not just happiness but BLISS. I had coffee, the blinds were open to let the soft white light from he cloudy day in, and was doing ballet in bed. Not real ballet mind you. It's hard to explain it. But.....you know when your a body of water and writhe and twist around underwater. It's kinda like that except in a bed.jchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02416082625273528934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669652316207234579.post-10474547115710250362009-05-17T01:34:00.000-07:002009-05-17T01:49:11.804-07:00fashion, whiskey and romance......late at nightTo nights is the first night that I will be going to bed alone and ok with it. It's taken awhile to getting used to the idea that my soul mate isn't going to drop from the sky. It's just that I've wanted to be in love so bad. So that I finally I can feel the feelings I read about or see in movies. But, ;ove rarely happens like that. And when it does it is sporadic and has no predictable pattern. But, I'm slowly getting used to the idea that being single is ok. Wild romances and affairs are for made up characters. Reality rarely allows for such flurishes. I'll get mine in the end I just have to wait and be patient.<br /><br />This blog is turning out to be nothing about fashion oops.....<br /><br />But here is something fashion related.

We always have the most surreal times there. Tonight mainly because I unwittingly (or maybe not?) and in detail began to engage in a conversation with a friend about my sexual exploits in front of a "Jesus Freak" and sorta scared him off. I was kinda drunk off of a cheap wine named MD 20/20 which cost me a whopping 3.25. I know right! Amazing! That's my excuse for my behavior. Fun times had by all. We smoked. I drank. I ate. We laughed.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_AcAkTl_GN_SbPeBCi7qxrWzp82ZjnS8klasSUSWwR9fL9QQWpJrkLI8G5Tg-2Bf6fk9pmzLOQ0xfiBEzfH1z3ZKDK8UsWINs5IZsgjcDBXdBPfMvK-GSQGZDz18a389dcU6JpB37KS4/s1600-h/064.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_AcAkTl_GN_SbPeBCi7qxrWzp82ZjnS8klasSUSWwR9fL9QQWpJrkLI8G5Tg-2Bf6fk9pmzLOQ0xfiBEzfH1z3ZKDK8UsWINs5IZsgjcDBXdBPfMvK-GSQGZDz18a389dcU6JpB37KS4/s320/064.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5333663044197788658" border="0" /></a>jchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02416082625273528934noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669652316207234579.post-53638550727211170362009-05-05T15:58:00.000-07:002009-05-05T16:13:42.732-07:00HmmmmI was reading Hipster Runoff....yes I read hipster runoff, and guess what? I enjoy it too.<br />It's irreverent, ironic, and occasionally relevant. Any way I was reading a post about PBR maybe not being cool anymore and I started to think about what my alcohol choice said about my own personal branding. So now I'm trying to find a beverage that will get me toasted and at the same time add to my image/kewl factor.<br /><br />Something cheap and boho maybe slightly intellectual: like a famous write might have drank himself to death with it.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I would choose Soco but it's too sweet and makes me want gag when ever I drink it.

Or maybe it has something to do with all of those things. See they all have a a place in my life. They give me meaning. My evolution in all of them relate to my evolution in myself. I sadly haven't even thought about fashion in the past few months. I don't know....maybe It's not me anymore. Or maybe I'm just going through a phase right now. I can't say that I've been busy. I haven't been doing anything besides drinking and wallowing in my own loneliness. Wondering when I would be truly happy again. And then I got pissed. Pissed at everyone for being happy; for being able to find peace. And for those who couldn't find peace like me. I got pissed at them too. Because they brought me into their sadness. Misery does love company though. Too bad my misery is anti social. I can't help but wonder if I even like people or if I just don't want to be left alone with my own thoughts. That's probably why I have an internet addiction. If I turned off the computer and tv and just sat by myself I wouldn't know what to do.<br /><br />But, all of this is about to change. I'm going to be fruitfull this summer since I'm not going to school next semester I need to do something to keep myself busy besides working a dead end job that hopefully won't become my life. Their all pretty much pipe dreams that probably won't happen but damnit I won't let that happen. Idk if it's me being bipolar or if all the good karma I've racked up is finally helping me out. But, I've become inspired. Hell yeah. and hopefully I will have the energy to upload inspirational images i find to help me out. So yeah new creative ventures and life change.<br />----Work out and get the hell in shape. I'm gonna tone my skinny body and by the end of the summer ill look like a Dior homme model then I'm gonna get a tattoo to commemorate the summer....but only if i can get in shape. The tattoo is my reward<br />----I want to start a Salon and showcase creative endeavors of me and my friends. We have so much talent but no outlet.<br />----"Dinner" or that's just a tentative name for a multimedia project I want to start on. It would encompass video, photographs, sound, and installations of found objects, recording the meals I have with friends. I've had some raucous times and some great conversations. It's nothing new. But it sound interesting to work on.<br />-----I just recently had an idea to start a series of fictional letters to my imaginary lover that I might one day have. Somewhat modeled after french love letters during the days of royal courts and swooning aristocratic ladies.<br /><br />thats enough......maybe this blog isn't about fashion anymore? Maybe it is? I don't know yet? I hope it still is?jchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02416082625273528934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669652316207234579.post-499346065391358412009-03-28T10:50:00.000-07:002009-03-28T11:17:48.541-07:00This post really means nothin<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photojojo.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/extra-jars.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://photojojo.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/extra-jars.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photojojo.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/extra-bottles.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 800px; height: 533px;" src="http://photojojo.com/content/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/extra-bottles.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br />I know this has nothing to do with fashion but lately I've been thinking of everything but fashion. You know......relationships, lost love, non existent love. Basically, the fact that I'm alone and it seems as if everyone else are finding someone. So, I've started retreating into other outlets to either help me understand myself better or to atleast numb the annoying buzzing pain I get when I am around a couple or someone talking about being part of a couple. But anyway part of my distractions has been interiors and decorations. I'm obsessed with moving within the next several months. And the most exciting part about moving is the fact that I will be able to decorate my very own place. Yes, yes.......I'm a big mo. But, I've lived with my parents for the past 20 years with a few brief interludes of campus life. And while that was freedom, living in my place will grant me the freedom that I can never get at home or on campus. But anyway. I found a fresh take on how to display photos without using pesky frames. Instead, you can use <a href="http://photojojo.com/content/diy/glass-jar-photo-frames/">glass jars and bottles</a>.jchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02416082625273528934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669652316207234579.post-61716822569930560492009-02-23T00:09:00.001-08:002009-02-23T01:17:01.654-08:00IDK what this meansI haven't posted in a long time. It's kinda depressing actually. I've been in a bad place in my life and instead of taking proactive steps to making my life better. I've just been wallowing in my own self pity. I've moved back in with my parents which is rather disheartening. Now it seems as if New York is years away. For some reason when I walk into my house I feel this stifling opression come over me. I can't think or feel creative at all. My parents go to bed at 10 and constantly complain about me being too loud and coming in too late. I'm currently looking for a job and new place. I feel a new start with a new place would make me feel better.<br /><br />Okay.....this is a fashion blog so I feel I should say something about the NY collections that just ended and the London collection that just began.<br /><br />First off. I had very few favorites. It seems like many New York designers are letting the recession get to them. There were three camps of designers in NY this fall. The first are the ones who let the economic slump overpower them. They delivered severe clothes with no real panache. Some say in these uncertain times where even the big names are hemorrhaging money, designers should stick to special pieces that will weather trends and the recession. We'll find out later if they are right when stores put in orders for the collections.<br /><br />Then there are the designer who feel they must force a kind of optimism on us. Marc Jacobs I felt did that. His clothes were full of color and print. He was inspired by the 80's and going out. When girls used to spend all evening devoted to preparing themselves for a night out on the town. Each girl had her own individual make up and hairdo. It was good concept, but in reality the collection felt like a fashionable Frankenstein. A mish mash of elements and ideas. He fused them together and shocked them into life with mood music. But, like Frankenstein the collection lacked the true light that makes something thrive and live with the veracity that is good fashion.<br />Another collection that forced optimism on us by ignoring the economic slump all together was Marchesa. The two design partners unveiled an escapists collection. They'll no doubt be a hit with the Hollywood crowd. Their clothes are glamorous and pretty. But, sometimes feel overdesigned.<br /><br />The last camp of designers were the smart who stuck to their guns. They made clothes that they loved and it showed threw every seam and cut. Fransisco Costa at Calvin Klein, Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Doo Ri, Chado Ralph Rucci, and Ralph Lauren were all standouts.jchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02416082625273528934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669652316207234579.post-56725735776966645752009-01-05T19:32:00.000-08:002009-01-05T19:42:34.854-08:00Disheveled Perfection<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.refinery29.com/editorial/img/anna_ifould.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 576px; height: 690px;" src="http://www.refinery29.com/editorial/img/anna_ifould.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">(www.refinery29.com)</span><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;">I found this on the website refinery 29.

Too long have I just showed up in a cool outfit with the feeling that something is missing. Well, I figured out what's been missing. Make up. So, I'm finding runway and editorial inspiratio for my next party appearance. Too bad I can't put any of these new found ideas to good use this New Years Eve Night. Seeing as my parentals have decided that I am to spend New Years Eve with the family tonight. Ha.... I've been in my room all night researching make up and party pics.<br /><br />So I will be spending my New Years Eve like Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and The City; curled up in bed, except there won't be a touching scene at the end of the night.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/F2008RTW/BALENCIA/DETAILS/00140m.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 480px;" src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/F2008RTW/BALENCIA/DETAILS/00140m.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/F2008CTR/CLACROIX/DETAILS/00120m.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 480px;" src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/F2008CTR/CLACROIX/DETAILS/00120m.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.style.com/slideshows/standalone/beauty/icon/071108ICON/06m.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 480px;" src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/standalone/beauty/icon/071108ICON/06m.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>jchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02416082625273528934noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669652316207234579.post-23380776162294373472008-12-29T12:30:00.000-08:002008-12-29T13:05:32.866-08:00New Obsession<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.costumedept.com/promo.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 492px; height: 264px;" src="http://www.costumedept.com/promo.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Costumedept.com................The place for amazing leggings.jchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02416082625273528934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669652316207234579.post-51946152837736402752008-12-28T17:41:00.000-08:002008-12-28T18:32:12.062-08:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/892/marykateooptak3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 410px; height: 615px;" src="http://img181.imageshack.us/img181/892/marykateooptak3.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>When ever I need style inspiration I know I can look to either Mary Kate or Ashley Olsen for effervescent natural fashion forward style. picture from Perez Hiton.com .jchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02416082625273528934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669652316207234579.post-49610650794591380622008-12-25T00:36:00.000-08:002008-12-25T13:33:01.796-08:00Please Santa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.pma-show.com/news_images/00180_leica_clux2.jpg"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" ><br /></span></a> <div style="text-align: center; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.pma-show.com/news_images/00180_leica_clux2.jpg"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:100%;" ><span style="font-family:courier new;">It's Christmas morning right now actually, but since I know Santa (that cheap son-of-a-bitch) hasn't and will never bring me any of these things.

But, when I get up the courage up to do something professional I want this camera with me.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /> Chloe Studded Boots</span>(http://jakandjil.com/blog/?cat=12&paged=2)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://jakandjil.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/chloelace.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 730px; height: 375px;" src="http://jakandjil.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/chloelace.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Ahhhhhhhh The things I would do in, for and with these boots are too numerous, violent, and deviant for me list.

I want studded black boots. Made by moi. Add some <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">pvc</span> leggings and a pair of sunglasses and you've got my staples for winter. The question is where can I go and get some latex/<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">pvc</span> leggings that will last and not be ratty. Target has latex leggings but they look cheap and shiny. I want a dull sheen to the pair that I get. I might have to shell out a good amount for a pair but Oh well it's all in the name of style. I also need a big coat maybe fur but I'll get t that later.jchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02416082625273528934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669652316207234579.post-53369738592906983242008-11-23T19:17:00.000-08:002008-11-23T19:21:13.807-08:00I've been gone a long time. I apologize, I've had a mental block for the past few months. Bullshit and drama clouded me. But, now I feel reinvigorated and want to start playing again. Fashion is my true love, above anything else. I want to live that passion.<br /><br /><br /><br />So............I think I might want to re-design the blog. Make it new.jchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02416082625273528934noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669652316207234579.post-57081564326944273402008-09-27T22:29:00.000-07:002008-09-27T22:36:04.844-07:00ParisI haven't posted in awhile.

I know, two artists with different styles and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">approaches</span> to their creation of art as well as their <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">approach</span> to the society that sees their art seems like an odd couple to share space in my head. Though decades and art movements <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">separate</span> these two artists, they both have given me inspiration for my <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">approach</span> to dressing.<br /><br />Klimt's work makes me want to embrace the inherent sexuality in all of us. His erotic painting and scream at my puritanical nature and motivates me to adorn myself in my sexuality.<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Basquiat</span> has a special place in my heart. Being the first black artist I started to notice, his works has shaped my sense of identity and judgement of beauty. Before him art to me was <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">Renaissance</span>. His works opened up a world of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">vulgarity</span> and revolution that I hope will transfer to my wardrobe.jchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02416082625273528934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669652316207234579.post-91559354546379107602008-08-14T14:12:00.000-07:002008-08-14T14:57:19.251-07:00FAB FUR!!!!<a href="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/F2008RTW/ROWENS/RUNWAY/00360m.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/F2008RTW/ROWENS/RUNWAY/00360m.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/F2008RTW/ROWENS/RUNWAY/00370m.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://www.style.com/slideshows/fashionshows/F2008RTW/ROWENS/RUNWAY/00370m.jpg" border="0" /></a> Rick Owens Fall 08 (style.com)<br /><span style="font-family:georgia;">Fur is wrong....fur is atrocious......damn fur feels so good on skin. No matter how hard I try to hate fur somethings about it just stand out at things most of us want to attain. Fur, can say to the would different things. Fur has the ability to make a person look tragically rich but if worn with the right amount of irony, fur can be fabulously tragic. I think the trick is to wear fur as if it were another piece of fabric or to wear it, knowing the satirical quality of something that ostentatious.</span><br /><br />I think that's why love Rick Owens or for that matter the Furrier that he design for Revillon. While in the hands of a more traditional designer fur might seem stale and dull. But, when seen through the eyes of Rick Owens pieces of fur become elegant and primal creations; unconscious of the fact that they are pieces of dead animals. Tortured femininity is a cornerstone of Rick Owens designs. The women who wear his clothes look like warrior queens when traipsing down streets and catwalks.jchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02416082625273528934noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669652316207234579.post-68908149646841827232008-08-12T14:35:00.000-07:002008-08-12T15:20:14.026-07:00My fall staplesIt's almost time for school to start. Summer is almost over for me and I am excited. Tank tops and short were cool the first month but southern heat doesn't leave many options open during the summer and so I am ready to start wearing sweaters and pants again. I keep wondering what I need to be looking for, for fall. A few things are on my staple list and others are in the "dream" file.<br /><br />---------Staples-----------<br /><ul><li> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">over sized</span> sweaters and cardigans </li><li> jersey t shirts for layering</li><li> rugged boots</li><li> leggings </li><li> A new scarf </li><li> leather driving gloves</li><li> wool shorts</li><li> black jeans</li><li> a pair of ray bans</li></ul><p> -------Dream-----------</p><ul><li> something with fur trim in it</li><li> <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">YSL</span> Johnny Boots</li></ul>jchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02416082625273528934noreply@blogger.com0
