putting this picture in a locket

Why they don't show detail shots of Pre-Fall collections on Style.com is a serious source of frustration in my life (hard life!). I KNEW KNEW KNEWWWWW when I saw Balenciaga's Pre-Fall 2010 color sensaysh situationalz that I was going to need NEED, like..NEEEEEED the shoes.

AMERICAN VOGUE // MARCH 2010

Look look lookylooklookkkkk. How do you not LOVE them?!?!?!

It's all my favorite needs and wants in one gloriously clompy clomper. A chunky heel, deliciously shiny hard leather, unexpected color combinations. I already went cray-cray on the tights- no brainer that I will beg, borrow and steal for them as well.

To own these shoes is my new goal for the TwentyDime. Lofty, I realize. I am nothing if not an 'AIM HIGH' kind of gal.

For some reason, all my pleas to Nicolas c/o this BLOG seem to go UNNOTICED, fancy that. (ahem, sz 38, New York City, USA. ASAP, merci beaucoup, je t'aime je t'aime je t'aime). 

May need to resort to desperate measures (aka selling my parent's car when they are on vacay. JK MOM AND DAD, PS PLEASE STOP READING MY BLOG). Pls stay tuned.

looking forward

Nothing makes you feel more like an addict than when you a tiny taste of your poison and see yourself go CRAZAYYYY. I am so starved for runway, you guys! So ready for the season to start again...PRE-FALLIN:

PROENZA SCHOULER PRE-FALL 2010

OOOOH JACK AND LAZARO, such dark and goth-y preps! This SHOULD HAVE BEEN what Jenny's character was on GG in the beginning, straight up GOTHIP GIRL. God, that shaggy fur...what a dream. PS has quickly become the bag I NEED NEED NEED IN ALL CAPS PLEASE GIMME GIMME NOW; look at the SIZE of that one. Dreamboat America.

GIVENCHY PRE-FALL 2010

Cropped balloony layers...leather, wool and fur..all the things I want to wear when it's cold, really. That white parka is PERFECT. I will also never not love a Givenchy Nightingale and to have one as a rolling suitcase would be seriousssllyyy BALLER.

BALENCIAGA PRE-FALL 2010

THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKIN BOUT.  Colored tights (with a sheer inner thigh panel!), shoes that look like that were made out of stuff from the Home Depot, trash bag plastic crop tops, stripes and patterns and wrongisright. Why are there NEVER detail shots on Pre-Fall??? So unfair. I want to see every angle of these shoes! If they don't sell these tights, I will be distraught. You don't want that Nicolas..do you? This reminds me of the color combos of the gals in BLOW UP, so 60s future thought. Loving loving love.
