“That’s kind of who I am.” -Tilda Swinton
I always thought she was kind of cool for not being a cookie-cutter girly-girl, but I am now convinced that she does indeed rock. You have to read the little story to get it.
These crazy cool LD Tuttle boots/shoes/whatever! They’re kind of weird, a little grimy, super badass, and have FEATHERS! So they’re basically awesome (to me). Man do I love feathers and boots. Gar.

“Sweat.” -Alexander Wang (sorry, I already know why he said that, but I won’t ruin the surprise.)
“Fantasy.” -Jill Stuart
“Rauschenberg.” -John Whitledge (of Trovata)
“Rigorousruffulous.” -Phillip Lim
“Egyptomania.” -Vena Cava (duh.)
“Work-in-Progress.” -Proenza Schouler

Hey, guess what? Japan Fashion Week starts on Monday! Japan is a pretty rockin place when it comes to fashion, so there will undoubtedly be some cool stuff coming out of there.
Oh looks, more menswear! I think some of it might look tool-y in real life. You make the call.

Since I had so much shit in the form of pictures and thoughts, I decided to break up this post into two parts. Here is the second part!

Ok, ok. So my friend G requested I talk about men’s trends (guys actually care about clothes? So confused…), so I guess I will indulge. DISCLAIMER: I know very little about men’s fashion. I watch very few of the men’s shows, and I just don’t have the same kind of mentality about guys’ clothes as I do about girls’ clothes. For example, I know lots and lots of my girl friends love when guys wear suits, but I don’t like suits. I squinch up my face and stick my tongue out at them. I mean, they’re ok, but I tend to think guys look best in a t shirt, jeans, and sneakers. I’m more into street fashion for guys. Weird, huh? I’m all for guys with style and the idea that they should get to express themselves through the the way they dress just like girls and all that crap, but when I start delving too much into what’s “in” in men’s fashion, I get this creepy sense that this is just so girly and the guys should just stop being so girly about their clothes and go…lift some things for me. Or play me music, heh. But, as I want to indulge requests, here is my kind of lame attempt at having a looksie at fall men’s fashion.
This RAD Erdem dress. I mean, the man makes me love/want to wear FLORAL PRINT. That, my friends, is impressive. And I totally consider that a floral print. A blurry one, but a floral print nonetheless.
With most of my friends already back at school while I sit around packing extremely slowly (damn the quarter system! rah!), it’s safe to say it’s back-to-school/fall time, even though it’s only late August. So I decided to make a litle fall wardrobe list of ideas and “trends” that I’m feeling good about. It’s not really one of those “fall trend” lists that insists that these are the things that are “in”, because that’s stupid. I believe in filtering what’s coming in in terms of trends and interpreting them with however you’re feeling about your wardrobe. Trends are kind of dying anyway. So these are just things that I’ve noticed and liked about the new fall collections. Do with them what you will.
