Currently

Sitting in a Galena coffee shop sipping upon hot cocoa in an actual cup and wearing new sacrilegious (only sacrilegious because I am not religious myself) brassy cross earrings just bought from the wonderful Jody McGill. Wishing I was in Naperville because of the need to reestablish my social life and also wishing for constant access to internet and more than three channels on the tv. Reading the book World War Z and becoming more and more fascinated of the possiblity of a zombie takeover. Listening to some Lady Gaga and Dido on the ipod and blocking out parents' conversation. Oh the joys of being un enfant unique. Considering playing on the pinball machine and dreaming about life as one giant zombie themed music video. Thriller anyone?

Kidnapping

If I ever have a little boy, I would like him to look exactly like this. 8 year old Arlo Weiner is a fashion designer in the making with an established style at such a young age! I would like to clone this child and insert his DNA in the future generations to ensure a future of good dressing.


So adorable! I could eat him up. Literally. Oh, wait. Huh?

Vampires and Other Creepy Things I Enjoy

Okay, I am always the first person to admit that Twilight is not a piece of literary genius. It also probably does not give the prepubescent girls who read them any realistic model of a relationship either. I read the first book last year or the year before, before the craze. And after I read it I was like "well that was a load of flaming crap" and threw it away. In my opinion, there is not much difference between Twilight and any other sappy teen book that I frequently read in my younger days. Maybe it was the whole "being a vampire is cool!" vibe was what irked me.

But, the only good thing that came out of Twilight was the movie. That movie is freaking amazing. It was one of the most entertaining movies I had seen in a looong time. The acting was so laughable.

I digress. Recently Teen Vogue did a Twilight prom themed spread and I quite liked it. I've always been drawn to the darker elements of things with movies, books, and fashion alike, so this spread made me slightly reconsider my own prom concept. It also made me realize how completely lame the theme "Save the Last Dance" is for our prom. Even though Twilight is a crap book, I'm thinking vampires would be an awesome theme for prom.


This boy reminds me of Luke Kook. I wouldn't mind taking him to prom.
This pink dress = looooove.

Gah! Boys in leather make me swoon.

Now, we move on to the next topic of discussion. I was on fashionindie.com looking for post ideas for this blog and came upon this designer.

Her name is Ann-Sofie Back and I had never heard of her before I spyed her lovely Native American/ Vampire-y fall fashion line. I really do love this line. I'm considering finding a black denim mini skirt to rip and destroy a la the picture on the bottom right. The girl with the tiara on the bottom left also freaks me out, but in a good way of course. I reaaallly like the dream catcher feathers in just about every garment shown and of course just about everything in this collage.
I walk the line of chic and freak. And I like it.
This girl gives a whole new meaning to fierce. She looks like she wants to bite me, while looking fabulous of course.
lovelovelove....These sunglasses are my favorite part. For serious. They are intense! Where can I get them?!

Posing a Threat!

This is awesome. Another reason to laugh hysterically at Flight of the Concords... I must remember to borrow the DVD set.
You think fashion's your friend, my friend fashion is danger!
