Yo-Landi Vi$$er
Die Antwoord's leading lady. The bleached blonde mullet-nymph is by far one of the most visually inspiring female musicians of the past few years.
Inspiration: January
January has been monotonous. School isn't exactly the easiest thing to get back into after a couple weeks of much needed break. I've been awful about posting outfits and conducting interviews etc. But OMG YOU GUISE i have so many hits per day. this is crazy. Anyways, i wanted to point out a few of my favorite things for this month, people, places, things. ALSO, although they aren't on this list i've been very in to knee high black gladiators - the more dramatic, the better!
Gucci ads long wavy hair, studs, tight pants, leather, military inspired silhouettes, fringe, fur. Everything about the gucci F/W '08 ads screams "luscious", but it's such a funny verb when describing something that I like, Gucci has always seemed like such a glamorous label, fit for people like Monica Bellucci or someone like that. Who would have ever thought that these street kids from the blogging world would ever latch on?
Matthew Palladino amazing artist. I had to choose a piece by someone who utilized watercolors to replicate in art class. I chose this painting "Stay out of the Rose Garden" and on a whim from there created a horridly freakish piece based on a 60's ad for girdles (don't worry, i'll post it soon).
Balmain Dress Erin Wasson works it, but even without her the dress is amazing. look at that bead work! and the color!
Irina Lazareanu I read somewhere she was taking a sort of "break" from being a super model, just being selective with the shows she walks and ad campaigns she participates in. But besides that her style is amazing, quirky, and she manages to soften even the boxiest man-trousers. I'm also considering cutting my hair like hers again, blunt bangs, good idea?
A Room of My Own painting my room this weekend, need to clean out some of the clutter, throw things out, sort things like the organizational freak i am, clean, make my bed. My dream room would of course be a little along the lines of this fairy princess palace...

EYE SPY
My english teacher wears way farers, and although i must admit, he is rather ... "hip"? It's time to move on to a new silhouette of sunglasses. It isn't only him but rather the entire world of mall shoppers and buffalo exchange cashiers. Although ray bans are arguably the most classic pair of sunglasses in the biz, but they are, quite honestly getting a little old. And as i prepare for sxsw and the horde of black clad hipsters in their fedoras and timeless sunglasses, i hope to be donning a pair that is a little more striking like the Chanel peepers mk and ashley seem to adore.
1960
Since before i can remember i've been obsessed with the 60s. The thick eyeliner, nude lips, short dresses, and tall boots. Andy warhol and the beatles, Velvet underground and topless swimsuits. Although I did not live through the 60s and i sometimes feel ridiculous preaching about their wonders, I will forever be inspired by the art and icons it produced.
From Nu Rave to Nu Goth
The "Nu Rave" look as coined by The Klaxons, was all the rage last year along with House of Holland Knockoffs and Blinding Neon Nike Dunks. And as the trend quickly trickled down to maintream mall stores and thirteen year old girls in gold lame headbands, it seems as though a new grunge or as stated by Filippa in her (amazing) blog "NuGoth" is gripping the world of young fashion bloggers and It Girls. Doc Martens, Ripped tights, jean jackets, and all things that are a mixture of 70s punk an 90s grunge are now hitting the larger markets after being pioneered by swedish fashion bloggers and Alice Dellal. The dreaded nineties of spaghetti straps, platform sandals, and cornrows, have somehow managed to redeem themselves with a little help from Kurt Cobain and the return and reworking of combat boots. Although this "NuGoth" and Grunge trend will not last in the fashion world as it makes its way to the Target sale racks, i know for right now, i am completely in love with it.

The Wonder
Its been a disappointing last few days, i've been a bit lazy and unmotivated about blogging as well as everything else in my life. I sound so dramatic! but really, and the teen vogue thing was just the cherry on top of and incredibly failure - filled weekend! though, the 250 studs i recieved in the mail today, along with this sartorialist photo made it a little more bearable.
