I'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.



So............I think I might want to re-design the blog. Make it new.

Paris

I haven't posted in awhile. I'm going to do a big post though soon.

Paris shows started today and I'm very excited about so many shows. Paris is truly the place to be excited about fashion

Inspiration

Jean Michel Basquiat and Gustav Klimt have been in my head lately. I know, two artists with different styles and approaches to their creation of art as well as their approach to the society that sees their art seems like an odd couple to share space in my head. Though decades and art movements separate these two artists, they both have given me inspiration for my approach to dressing.

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.

Basquiat 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 Renaissance. His works opened up a world of vulgarity and revolution that I hope will transfer to my wardrobe.

FAB FUR!!!!

Rick Owens Fall 08 (style.com)
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.

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.

My fall staples

It'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.

---------Staples-----------

• over sized sweaters and cardigans
• jersey t shirts for layering
• rugged boots
• leggings
• A new scarf
• leather driving gloves
• wool shorts
• black jeans
• a pair of ray bans

-------Dream-----------

• something with fur trim in it
• YSL Johnny Boots
