The Phoenix Rises

Everything I thought was cool in 2009-2011 is cool now. I'm that good.  However, as clairvoyant as my fashion and style choices were when I was writing on this platform 8ish years ago (OMFG), I would have never guessed that John and I would have had a kid named Zelda, with another one coming in 4 weeks, relocated to Toronto, Canada and opened Toronto's, nay- the world's -hottest rug store, Mellah Moroccan Rugs .

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.

I heart this tumblr- The Lisst.

Shake Your Hips
