Gah. I’m having one of those bopping-listlessly-around-the-house sorts of days… I’ve biked 25 miles so far and might run a little, but that’s what’s making me depressed – my injury/lack of improvement despite running pretty much daily. Urrghhh.
Anyway, here’s a little collage I cobbled together a few days ago chock full of fall inspiration. Enjoy [...]

Editors, icons, celebs, and fashionistas were presented not with a runway show in Paris, but an 8-minute, black and white avante garde film filled with eery music and voluminous wisps of thick black smoke. [Natasa Vojnovic, the only model for Gareth Pugh, writhed, danced, and was otherwise unable-to-tear-your-eyes-away-from]
Of the clothes? Leather thigh-high boots, claw- or [...]

For starters, look at this crazy layered knittish jacket from Stockholm:
And I’m loving the huge, cosy knit scarf. Mmm. (Although we’ve had a HGUE heat wave here – it went up to almost 50 yesterday, and today it was 45… hence, no jackets!!! Seriously, I am so excited, even though in a few days it [...]

Well, it’s good to know that after I run, I can throw on fishnets and heels under my sweats and still be stylish… according to this editorial, anyway.
Great photo at any rate. VOGUE Paris, I think… judging by the French.

I really like these two photos from The Sartorialist:
Love his coat and pants and shoes and socks and glove/handwarmers… agh. Why can’t guys here dress like this?
She does menswear to a T. Perfection.
Oh, I want to make some pants like this; grey, and add a zipper cinching thing above the ankle (here it’s just a [...]
Twiggy

Came across this photo of Twiggy whilst researching the 60s for Spirit week next week…. my class is 60s. Woo!
Twiggy!
Not Twiggy, but a cool 60s dress. I might need to just find some sweet fabric and take the plunge and make one… the real trouble will be finding the right shoes.

Ah, such a cliche title. But hey, it works.
Fringe is usually directly associated with the druggies and hippies of the 60s and 70s, but this season it’s been revamped. Well, partially. Many of the looks featuring fringe also hail back to the Roaring 20s and 30s – when the Flappers ran rampant through the streets. [...]

Along with Anne Hathaway, Blake Lively is one of a very select few celebrities whom I admire. The Vogue article about her is good… nothing too special, but here it is.
God, she is so gorgeous. Makes me want to cry.

Kimonos have intrigued me lately; while they’re not super popular on the runways this season, I still think they’re cool. And historic. And pretty.
Ruffian // Spring 2009 [model: Iekeliene Stange]
Tuleh // Fall 2008
Pucci // Fall 2008
D&G // Fall 2007
A different approach to the traditional kimono… Jonathan Saunders // Spring 2009
Traditional kimonos:
Hmm, I’d love a Japanese [...]

While I doubt these will actually be worn – that would be regressing 200 years, people! – these hoop skirts *are* pretty, well, pretty.
Fendi // Spring 2009
Versace // Spring 2009
D&G // Spring 2009. This is definitely more a work of art than clothing.
Limi Feu // Spring 2009
Luella // Spring 2009
Giambattista Valli // Spring 2009. I [...]
