Something to do. http://raisecache.com/.

finger

Currently into rings. ISIS rings from DANNIJO. Dig.

dark side of the moon

Loving black diamond eternity bands. Lots and lots of them. Partially inspired by my Nana's ever evolving and always impressive mixed and matched rings, and by a Daphne Guinness talk I attended at FIT- I want some finger armour, STAT. Turns out you can score some cool looking black beauties at Overstock.com. Who knew?

Proud Mama

Image from Terry Richardson's new book- MOM & DAD. Honest, intimate and a bit weird.

uptown girl

Went to the Met and Madison Ave. yesterday. There is an amazing exhibit on Indian Master painters and on Goddess in Indian art (India, I'm coming...). Also really enjoyed the portrait of "Cher", the Honeycomb and everything about the lady in the long black duster, acid jeans, biker boots and blonde braided hair's outfit and attitude.

he said I'm fabulously rich

Maybe it is classic Fall-time nostalgia syndrome, or the weird/nervous feeling I get around Halloween, or maybe its just one of my many cyclical phases, but I am extremely appreciating The Tragically Hip right now. Memories of summer camp, making out, smashing pumpkins at Forest Hill Junior School, smoking a joint for the very first time, Massey Hall, driving the roads of northern Ontario, fresh bread at Tree planting (nothing tastes better), the smell of the "mountain" in Montreal- all dancing through my pork-pie( its really kind of a strange day) clad head.

cher and elijah. crimson and clover. amazing.

p.s. sometimes i read Tavi's teen website. Whatever.

i wish i took a picture

of the guy I just walked by, wearing an army jacket with "Occupy Wall St." printed on the back lunching at Pastis.

people and things i saw

In London and Paris. Feel like I am just starting to recover from The Show, a crazy wedding and travel (which was amazing but still tiring and sensory overloading). Got to process, chill and get back into a regular groove.

fashion zen

Kate Moss, Calvin Klein.

BASS VS. BASS

All three on sale at BASS. I think I'm digging the patent leather saddle shoes the most.

BEST sweater

This Theory sweater is gorgeous. Will live in this this fall/winter/ for the rest of my life.

the lisst

I heart this tumblr- The Lisst.

Shake Your Hips

WHERE DID YOU GO?

These boots are from a place called FREE BIRD- but it doesn't seam to exist anymore. Where did you go, Free Bird boots?? Images via coolhunting.com circa 2009. Hmph.

Susie Bubble took some killer pics (duh) at Nike's U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach,CA.

Check out SP/SU11 PLAID magazine. Jess Pollack is rad.

do the rockaway

Got my ass up at 5am this morning to go to Rockaway beach for some surfing (fine, attempted surfing). Vice/Nike is sponsoring an open house full of treats to help promote Nike 6.0 (in a low key, not overly branded way) for the next two weeks. Passenger and gear vans leave the city around 5:40 am and return around 9:00 am everyday- early, but worth it for some pre-work fun in the sun and surf (cute drivers also help ease the early morning pain). The house is hosted by the adorable Falcone brothers, Rockaway locals and expert surfers whose interests include horticulture, photography, furniture building and shaping boards.

not-converse

Trying to break the converse cycle. Andre Assous cowboy shoes spotted by John and Zach at one of the homeless vendors on 6th Avenue who hangs out in front of Urban Outfitters that sells stuff he probably found in the trash. Levis Jean shorts, best-tank-ever from India or Peru and Theyskens' Theory blouse that makes me feel kind of ethereal/angelic when it billows in the wind. Having a narcissist week, whatever.

A&C

I love dreamcatchers (maybe even as much as Barnett) and other pretty hanging things with special rocks, feathers or shells, evil eyes and magical things. Need some leather cording to make some with less Woodstock and more Altamont vibes.

party pants

How awesome is the light in my office in the morning? I love these metallic linen pants- bought them ages ago from LILITH (google just told me they are having a massive sale) and always get muchos compliments. I love the seam below the knee and I love how linen wrinkles and crinkles as the day goes on. Also, the only shoes I can bring myself to wear are converse- white or black depending on what I'm wearing. Currently, all other shoes make me feel awkward.
