My Words Can't Compare

The main thing that i like about this look is the lower half of the outfit; green tights and rolled up trouser shorts. The shoes are blue with a touch of yellow on the toe. This makes for an interesting yet subtle color combination. The best part is that it can easily be recreated from pieces we already have in our wardrobes.

This look is one of my favorites in this post. I love the unexpected leopard print boots and most importantly i like that it looks fun. She reminds me a bit of a french mime from the waist up.
anyone know where i can get a hat like this one ?

Best grungy look EVER!

The shirt is insane, the boots are insane and the yellow plaid is insane!

We all know by know that over the knee boots are the hottest thing when it comes to boot-wear this fall/winter. Imagine owning this dazzling blazer and the metallic pants. It's all a bit femme fatale. I don't how but you or i or both of us will have to wear something like this.
BTW i love Natasha Poly!

In the dead of winter your coat should be making the statement.

Vivienne Westwood RTW Fall 09'
This is my favorite look of all the Fall 09 collections. You heard right me this is my favorite of all the looks. If i'm going to dress in any way it will look something like this from fall to winter.

Missoni RTW FAll 09'
This is my second favorite. It has a similar look to the Vivienne Westwood one. I'll have to buy two longish scarves and wear one around my neck and the other two will be tucked into my coat sleeves .
Do you guys have any suggestions on how else to recreate it ?

...and last but not least . i'm quite positive that i will be buying solid color shoes in primary colors with matching tights . What a way to elongate your legs!



And that's it ladies( and gents). I spent two hours trying to get inspired by my lookbooks on Style.com . I like to browse all the collections and save favorites to a lookbook . It's fun to go back to it a season later and see what inspired me so that i can build my wardrobe around those looks. I shared these particular ones with you because i felt they might inspire some fall fashion ideas. I'm currently going through my entire wardrobe and putting away summer/spring stuff and taking out the fall/winter stuff. So i couldn't do an outfit post today.
In the interest of making this fun for you guys, i decided to let you guys choose 3 of these looks for me to recreate in the next 3 months.
Choose one favorite look ( the numbers corresponding to the looks are on top)
tell me the number and the top three will be recreated in detail to the best of my ability (you have my word) by the end of November.

be kind.

Can't stop listening to the new Vivi album . Here's a favorite song so far.
Vivian Girls- I Have No Fun

Three things i'm loving right now
  • Being back in NYC
  • the new Vivian Girls album "Everything Goes Wrong"
  • These jeans (no jeans have ever felt this great!)
Sometimes the music gods bless us with collaborations like this band called Babies, with Cassie Ramone (of Vivian Girls) and Kevin Morby (of Woods).
Too good to be true.

Gravy Train was insane!
I couldn't post any of the other pictures because they are X rated.

It was a lot of fun.

My camera was having a bad day so almost all the head to toe pictures were too blurry to post :(

Hope you guys notice the pleating detail on the front of Laritza's blouse and the pretty buttons on the back, i was super in love with it .
I'm really loving The xx right now check out my favorite song of theirs

wearing little brothers' shirt with a vintage belt, forbidden planet tote and KEDS classic champion white canvas sneaker

big thanks to Dante for sending a pair of these over to us!



Photobucket

I'll be wearing these for the next 10 days . I'm already day dreaming of a ridiculous amount of outfits for them. Which i do with every new pair of shoes whether it be a 5 inch heel or a sneaker.
All i need is a leather jacket with huge lapels and zippers to look like a member of the Ramones.
I will also be looking for a perfect rocker "vintage" T shirt and then my ramones' uniform will be complete!

This song felt just right with my post.

p.s. my bf did get a new lens! glad some of you noticed. (we use the canon rebel for a lot of my pictures)

Front row at the Yeasayer show at Pier 54!
Chris Keating you are AHHMAZING my darling ! truly ahmazing! Love his crab tattoo, perhaps he's a cancer?

They sound even better live which is mind boggling, for my review and more photos check out It's Design Related

Leaving for AZ on monday and i'm not sure if i'll find time to post so i'm going to schedule some stuff and hopefully Laritza will do some posts.

By the way i saw District 9 last night and it was incredible!
I strongly urge you to go see it. Do you have plans tonight ? If not go see District 9.
And if you are thinking to yourself who is she to recommend a movie ? I can understand that since most people wouldn't know a good movie if it crept into bed with them.
You don't have to take my word for it. Check out all the good reviews on RottenTomatoes
That makes TWO sci-fi movies that i have seen this year ( saw Moon it was very good).
I now have seen a total of 4 sci-fi movies. I'm so open-minded. xD

wearing Ella Moss dress and nine west wedges

Thanks to Rebecca for holding that great giveaway! i won this dress ( and a surprise extra one ) and although i was planning to give it to my little cousin, i decided to wear it instead because a size 14 isn't as small as i thought it would be.
I wore it to the Bat for Lashes show with some shorts under (to keep from flashing anyone) and my heart chain.

Natasha Khan is an incredible performer! I was in awe of her from the beginning of her performance to the last second of it.
and we were right up front. (!!)
For more pictures and my review of the show see my post on It's Design Related ( i'm guest contributor!).

If you like Bat for Lashes you might want to check out this other band that opened for her .
She clearly likes them and for good reason, their performance was incredible.

This song in particular touched my shrively soul

wearing vintage skirt, forever 21 top & earings

This is my 1st post in a while I really feel crummy about it. I have spilled my work schedule into my social and blog life, and so I will let you guys in on more from where we last heard of Laritza. hehe. So, I saw Orphan in theaters on monday with my bf, it was a good movie guys! I was shaking in my little boots with fear. The thought of having a killer with so many secrets scares me omg. I highly recommend this horror flick take the advice from a person who is afraid of her own shadow after a good scary movie. I love being scared, what scares you the most?
ooh yeah and I cut my hair a bit and brightened it with some cheerful highlights.

You Presume Too Much

wearing vintage shorts and GAP flats
Had a bad morning hence the angry faces.
I read an article today that said NY summers are starting to have the hottest days after July when it used to be that July was the hottest month.
So I am now wearing my last "summer' outfit since it was 90 degrees out. Everything else will be making its move towards fall when i get back from Arizona.

MAMOUN'S

Ok enough about whether or not it's the best falafel in the city ( it just is). This is my number one place to go after watching a movie at the Angelika or the Landmark .
Of course i go to the one in St. Marks, why even ask such a thing?
I first came to this place with an ex-boyfriend. I fell in love with Mamoun's, not so much with the boyfriend.
There is no place I'd rather go to eat at 1am.
I continue to drag my current or any new boyfriends to Mamoun's from then on .
I just tell them it's "our place" ;)

Mamoun's is very inexpensive and very delicious . Go there .

Shipwrecks Right From The Start

Photobucket
wearing coconuts shoes and target GO skirt
I think it's hilarious the way i'm staring down at the Naked juice like a model from "The Price Is Right". I used to watch that show all too often as a young girl.

Last night was a pretty late night for me. We were dying to watch the new Park Chan-wook film, THIRST. You might have seen his previous film Oldboy, I hear they are trying to do a remake with Will Smith as oldboy *gags*.
Well the showtime i had planned for was sold out and we had to wait 3 hours for the next one (10:15). I actually didn't want to and would have preferred to see Cold Souls at 9 but it wasn't up to me.

Thirst was two and half stars and a tiny bit of a disappointment, but entertaining nonetheless. It was not worth the wait .
I would recommend you see Cold Souls instead.
By the way i lost yet another umbrella and had to run home in the pouring rain at 2 am.

I know you will all love this song.

Not doing much on this pleasant friday night.
sometimes it bothers me to be missing out on great weather but oh well.
Hope you guys are having more eventful evenings.
By the way that isn't the zebra shirt from H&M that everyone has, this was thrifted earlier this year.
I can't say i plan on doing much else this weekend but I have plenty of stuff happening next week.

Leaving for Phoenix in a week.

currently obsessed with this song...
by obsessed i mean i play it every other hour and listen on repeat during my daily commute.
so listen to it . download it . join us in a world free of bad music.
one of us , one of us * continues to chant*
