From Acne Resort SS 2012

Tabi boot and stingray leathered pumps from Maison Martin Margiela Line 22—if I had half a grand to part with right now, I'd buy either pair.

It's October. After some much needed hiatus in efforts to curb my internet dependency, I return. New York is colder and I'm a little saddened by it. But it does signify the need for a nice jacket, like these varsity ones from Nike.

heathered slouch sweatpants and sweatshorts, $49.50/$45.00 from Madewell

They scream Isabel Marant chicness but go for a fraction of the cost. I'm buying both!

I don't care what you say, I still liked Marie Antoinette. I hear this one's good though. I want to see it.

Acne Leather Motorcycle Jacket from La Garconne


Acne Denim Motorcycle Jacket from Complex Blog

I saw them on sale at Opening Ceremony for almost 60% off, but I couldn't do it. They didn't have my exact size, and I'd spent about 2.5 months' worth of my allowance on summer sales already (thanks Barneys New York). I have a couple leather jackets, but I want a looser fitting one, it makes a difference!

To be laconic: Cute on a boyfriend, cuter as a boyfriend moto jacket.

Must get my bony paws on a copy...

I totally should be confiscated of my credit cards before I max them out, but I just bought this coat:

... This, on top of the two beautiful pairs of Margiela boots that, though I vowed to only choose one, have ultimately decided to keep.

Julia - Tilda Swinton official Trailer

This is saved on my Netflix list. I must see this film. Like everyone who knows what he's talking about I'm a big fan of Tilda Swinton.

THE SHOES:

THE INSPIRATION:

Do you get it?

My life runs on lusting after shoes and cats. Most of which is facilitated via Internet.
And resorting to wearing black garments.

Ready for the summer. I want to go camping.

Want: Yohji Yamamoto: Talking to Myself

In Talking to Myself, Yamamoto has created an illustrated notebook that recounts the phases of his life. A work in progress punctuated with multiple images, Talking to Myself is the only book in which Yamamoto has become personally involved, making it a veritable extension of his own private world. In it, he "talks to himself" and with philosopher and art/fashion critic Kiyokazu Washida about himself and the objects he creates, objects that meld, blend with, and are assimilated by the person they seek to enhance. Pages marked by Yamamoto's pen and brush with Japanese ideograms, striking sketches, and abstract compositions help decipher his desire to achieve anti-fashion through fashion itself. Yamamoto's world is one of black and white symbols, a world in which color makes only a fleeting appearance."

I've yet to see this book in person but I'm sure it's lovely and that I want it very badly.
