(un)TIMELY: met gala!

Whenever I get on a roll with other writing stuff, I get way inspired to write on THIS BLOG and then I drop everything else and just write here and then...I never get anything done. I am not, as they say, SPECTACULARLY TIME EFFICIENT.

Sue me. (You'd probs win about $600 USD, a few choice issues of RAYGUN magazine and more vintage polyester frocks than you will know what to do with. I hope that's ok with you)

I never did a Met Gala post. I want to do a Met Gala post.
HERE WE GO.

BEST EVER OR I DIE OR FUCK THAT LOOKS SO GOOD

C SEVS IN PROENZA SCOULER

Fuuuuuuuck. This is perfection. Wait, this is beyond that..this is life goal. 

It's the kind of thing that shouldn't look good on like, anybody and you can't tell anyone about, they just have to SEE it on you ("Um, it's like..a long-sleeved teal lace dress, with kind of a mock turtleneck?"). World please note: The night of the party it was about 98 degrees, raining and humid as hell- a lovely RAIN FOREST LIKE evening. HOW DOES SHE LOOK SO UN-SWEATY?

BONUS SEVS LOVE (also in lace!):

If wearing eye make-up didn't make me look like a 13-year-old trying to sneak into DA CLUB..I would go for this weird eyelid stripe.

Anyways, back to the GAAAAAALLLAAAAAAA

CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG IN BALENCIAGA (bien sur, doy doy doy)

Ok, at least SHE looks like what I would look like- and that is to say sweaty as fuck. I could personally care less what happens on her head, body, hand, neck, ears, WHATEVAH. Let's have REAL TALK about her below-the-ankle situation: That shit is BAY NAY NAYS increds. You know when I miss not working at a fashion magazine anymore? When I have the need to just HOLD a shoe like that. E.G. RIGHT NOW.

GRACE CODDINGTON IN...A FORMAL SANDAL

Hey, commit to your look..Whatevs it was a WORK party, basically I applaud it and I applaud your hair. Fuck those gowns! It was hot as hell that night!

THE ZOE IN MARC JACOBS

 

This is glorious. I want it. I wanna pet it. Gimme that.

BEST USE OF A MOGWAI

CHRISTINA HENDRICKS IN SOMETHING, I DON'T WANT TO LOOK IT UP.

Rough night for a smoky eye. Um..why is Gizmo on her shoulder? JUST WONDERING.

At least she had this to entertain her throughout the night:

I KNOW THIS IS A VOGUE PARTY, BUT I KINDA WANTED TO GET BAPTIZED AS WELL...CAN ANYONE OUT THERE HELP ME?

ALT & WHOOPI G

Oh, score. Thanks guys. Meet me at the fountain?

SO yesterday my sister picked me up in the family car and we hit up the dirt Jerz for some Christmas shopping/Gaga car singalongs/mall mayhem.

My only mission was to find a Target that would still have some meager shreds of Rodarte chillin on their racks. Leave it to Tbonz the supershopper to guide us to HACKENSACK where treasures were still to be found!

We tried on a million things, and I wanted most of them but $$$ is not so flowin and so I left with only what I NEEDED TO SURVIVE.

The baby blue Swiss-dot dress, mustard lace skirt, and BOTH PAIRS OF THE KNEE SOCKS! Which I haven't seen anyone else with besides Tav when she debuted them at fashion week. 

Mustard lace skirt with nude tulle overlay & mustard perforated knee highs / Rodarte x Target

Self-altered chopcropped grey sweatshirt / Duane Reade

Brown perfect ankle boots / Prada

HEY GUESS WHAT MY FIRST INITIAL IS "E" necklace / Topshop (gift from my sis)

I. love. this. skirt. I love it! It is so pretty and strange. I don't think I own anything this prettygirlyfilmy, besides my mettalic Philip Lim Skirt from last year? I only want to wear it with my really old grey  tee that is 80% holes or this giant grey sweatshirt I cropped up. Or grey tights. Or grey knee socks. Just lots of old grey.

PS, how bonx is that necklace?!?! Totally flavin' it.

Mustard lace skirt with nude tulle overlay & mustard perforated knee highs / Rodarte x Target

Maroon suede & white wooden platforms / Pierre Hardy x Gap

Giant mess, blogger's own

Baby blue lace & tulle & Swiss dot dress / Rodarte x Target

Favorite red red red lipstick / Bombay by Le Métier de Beauté

A collection based on Rosemary's Baby that is "Junior's" is not exactly GIANT RACK FRIENDLY, just FYI-SLERS. The mesh top of this dress makes this a somewhat sexxxay situation, but that's not so bad sometimes, right?

My dress matches my wall

 Who's chapstick is that? WHOOPSY

I am gonna wear this on Christmas, cold weather be damned. I'm not really going outside, so who cares? Gonna need a cardigan though, SENSUAL CLEAVAGE doesn't really fly with Mom and Dad for family affairs.

Nude squareholed up kneesocks / Rodarte x Target

Gold metallic ankle boots / vintage

The OTHER kneesocks. Nude with all these little rectangular holes. Dope. I am so psyched on these, they were honestly the items I wanted most (besides the lace cardigans, which were long gone by the time I got to Target)

Other things I loved but had to leave behind were the floral raincoat, the cropped sherpa-y jacket (SO GOOD, SO SO GOOD! but at 50 dollars...ehhh I dont know. Kinda regretting leaving it but oh well), the navy lace skirt.

There was ONE leopard lace dress left and it fit my sister like it was made for her. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED, if you can find it. You can't get dressed alone though..someone has to help ya with those back bows (The more you know).

Balls. Still thinkin bout the sherpa jacket. 

But you know what? FASHION GLUTTONY is not a good look and I am really really happy with what I got.

Mo' betta' pics soon, I am still not into my blogga photo groove in this new apartment...

i need new ways to say GIMME THAT

i hope you weren't so put off by the weird furry neo-uggs and questionable use of a cavaricci-esque pant so as to miss the BEST THING ABOUT LOUIS VUITTON (save the afros, doy):


LOUIS VUITTON S/S 2010

these hairytail JANGLEBAGS are my new EVERYTHING.

GIANT JANGLES THAT HAPPEN TO BE BAGS!
they can hold things, but not too many things. flat things. like your phone and some necco wafers, no cash though because you spent it all on giant racoontailz.

DEAR MARC JACOBS, PLEASE SEND ME ONE...please?

i don't hate it when my friends are successful

this is some SERIOUSLY AMAZING NEWS.

chuck and ryan, aka THECAST, aka dudes i've known for what seems like forevs, are doing a collab with URBAN OUTFITTERS! OUTCAST by THECAST comes out next month, and even just this picture looks like shit is gonna be hottness.



YOU WANT THIS.

mad wings

i got this sweater when i went DEEP thrifting into methtown the other day...it's pretty fucking dreamtown, i love it!



the sleeves are HUGE, this shit is AVANT. i hve it tucked in to a denim skirt which is maybe not the LEAST BULKY look for a gal, but i'm just going for it.



whoever this "MOM" character is, she should get her own sweater line. this is the best thing i have bought in a while.



bought a bullet keychain at this sick army navy store, it's my new jangle jam. (with my lucky coin)



these deena& ozzy white oxfords that i got a while ago at urban are what i wear with everything these days.

thank god the 90 degree bullshit that was happening here has slowed its roll.
it's 66 at 2 Pm and i couldn't be happier. SO the kind of summer i can can get down with!

obligatory reality bites reference!

i am in love.

DERT JERZ FOREVZ.

beyond

i think i just popped something important, some sort of vessel or artery that is probs very necessary for me to continue living.

steve is responsible for ending my young and fragile life; he sent me a lookbook link to this 13 year old powerhouse mindblower right here:



WHAT WHAT WHAT WHAAAAATTTT?! "GAVI" (can't be real name..can it?) ? WHO ARE YOU AND CAN YOU TELL ME HOW YOU GOT SO DOPE?



motherfucking PLAYSTATION BOWTIE!
YOU LITTLE WONDER.



margielz inspired, no big deal.



i DIE. seriously, i am fa-reaking out. next level all over the place.
what IS that thing he is wearing in the first pic??? i want it!

TAVZ: meet him and start shopping/IMing/DMing/texting together, IMMEDIATELY.

can tavi and gavi star in a graphic novelization of me & steve as 13 year olds?
