Stefano Tonchi

People's lifestyle's interest me. I love to see how people live their lives, where they call home, and how they decide to dress up the space that they reside. Stefano Tonchi is the editor of T:The New York Style Magazine. His house is basically the ideal of how i would want my house to look:

Jean Paul Gaultier - Spring 2010

Jean Paul Gaultier's collection was beautiful in some parts, while other parts left me a bit baffled as to why he would send that down the runway; overall, though, I loved the collection. I particularly liked the color blocking (1st photo) he used on some of his pieces. The thing that I really appreciated about this collection was the small details, like the slit at the bottom front of some of the pants (3rd photo), and the slight hint of a bustier (2nd photo) definitely worked better than the blatant obvious bustiers he sent down the runway. I applaud Jean Paul Gaultier's gumption for attempting to blur the line of what is considered menswear versus womenswear, but some looks just look like a drag queen who forgot her wig. Overall, though I feel like he achieved his idea of adding androgeny to menswear, a trend, I hope, last a very long time.

Fever Ray - When I Grow Up

one of the most visually stunning music video's i've ever seen

DSquared2 - Spring 2010

DSquared2 is probably one of the more eccentric designers in terms of taking their inspirations very literally. This season's inspiration is The Wilderness/Camping (obviously).......which seems to be a sort of an evolution of the Geek Chic trend the seems to be sweeping the fashion industry. The boys were clad in camouflage and fishing inspired attire, sporting geek-ish glasses, and the occasional band aid. Though i have to admit that sometimes the Caten twins can go a bit overboard when drawing their inspiration from something that it turns into a cliché, DSquared2 was one of the first designers/brand that i fell in love with............and any designer that sends Simon Nessman down the runway, shirtless is fine with me :]

Trussardi 1911 - Spring 2010

Trussardi 1911's collection this season might be my favorite so far. The color palette blew my mind, and i really liked the pairing of the redish-orange with the gray in the first piece. plus the shoes are drool worthy. I also liked the collection's reference to cowboys, and native american ie the second piece. Exposed ankles popped up around the whole collection. and i'm liking it. it feels very summer :]

CFDA

Can I express how happy I am that Rodarte won the Womenswear award!!!! I love it!!! and i'm so proud of them. Their clothes are beautiful, and if they did not win, it would have been bullshit! And it's also pretty cool to see siblings being able to create such an inovative, and succusful line. i wonder if they ever bicker....


and also....i'm loving that Taylor Lautner attended the CFDA awards....w/o a date.... :] ...just some simple observation...but what would a 17 year old guy be doing at the CFDA Awards w/o a date....i'm hoping it's because he has a bit of rainbow in him... :] haha a guy can hope haha

How Comforting

i saw this photo on Garance Doré and i loved the simplicity of the sweater and the jeans. and also the soft subtle comforting colors. there's something about a sweater that's just so comforting.

One of the first Summer Projects

so this summer I'm planning to do hella DIY's. Here are some of the first one's i've done this summer:

basically, I bleached this shirt the same way I did my black one, here. I originally wanted it to be blue w/white splotches, but I got a little carried away w/the bleach. I like the end resault though.
--
another project I plan to work on is turning this t-shirt into a tank top.

I got it for donating blood to a blood drive. It's the cheesiest, lamest thing i've ever seen, mostly b/c of the quote:

"This is Why I'm Hot, I Give Cause I Am, You Don't Cause You Not"

I thought it was hilarious, and I had to have it, they only had an XL, so ultimately it's going to be a bit of an over sized tanktop . But I'm liking tank tops this summer, so that's okay w/me.

WHOOT WHOOT!

so i'm back. school let out about 2 weeks ago, and i just really needed the time to recuperate, and catch up on sleep. but now i'm back to blogging, and i'm going to start up on my summer homework (which is super lame, but really isn't that much, so i'm not complaining.........it sucks balls). i'm also working, and making bank!!!! which is good considering i just did my routine, summer clean out of my closet..and i have no clothes. Anyway here are some of the first purchases of the summer:

i've been in need of a new pair of glasses since hella long ago. so i ordered these off Urban Outfitters, and they arrived the day school let out, i wore they around the house the whole day, which pissed my mom off...but whatever. This photo doesn't really show it well, but the lenses are actually like mirrors. and i like it....until ppl start fixing their makeup in my face....i don't need to see your lipstick stained teeth that close!!!

uhm...so i'm in love w/these shoes! I saw a pair of Suede Desert Boots over at OOoOO's blog(see #2) and i was in love w/them. the next day when i made a stop @ goodwill to drop off some clothes, there in the window i saw these similar pair of boots..i never ran into a store so fast. they were a size 12, but miraculously, they fit my size 11 foot. :] and the 11 dollar price sounded so much better than the £97.00 (which is like 155 American dollars...i think) price of the Suede Desert Boots.

i'm planning a trip into the city after i get my next paycheck, cause i haven't gone to san francisco in months!!!! and their are some stores i want to hit up. anyway, summer's going great so far. and i'm excited to have so much more time to blog and such. :] plus, of course, shopping it up. :]
