Trends I cannot get behind
Since my blog is mostly comprised of things I like, I thought I’d do a post about things I really don’t like!
Trends I can’t (and probably never will) get into:
- Towering high-heels and boots
- Leather shorts (this trend makes no sense at all..)
- Half-shaved heads (you know who you are, *ahem Alice Dellal*)
- People wearing leotards and tights in public (with nothing else), when they are definitely not coming from a dance recital.
- People wearing tops as dresses (don’t think you’re pulling that look off) with no leggings or pants
- Drop-crotch/Harem pants (aka Hammer Pants)
- Beige lipstick
- Crotch-high boots: they DO NOT replace pants.
Jean Pierre Jeunet for Chanel No. 5
I am loving this commercial shot by Jeunet for Chanel, with the ever adorable Audrey Tatou (soon to play Chanel in a biopic). Il est tr?s romantique, n’est-ce pas?
Erin M. Riley
Erin is someone I discovered while searching through Etsy. She is working on an MFA in fibers at Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia, PA. Her shop contains beautifully woven scarves and this dress which I adore.
I was then led to her site which contains the most beautiful and rather heartbreaking woven tapestries, frequently dealing with car accidents, trauma and death. I’m so glad to have stumbled across her work.
Vintage Liz Claiborne shoes on Ebay
These are not my size, but I think they’re so amazing. I would totally try to win them if they were! Liz Claiborne used to make some rad stuff. One more day left…
Lady Constance Stewart Richardson
Love this photo. Apparently she is the author of this book. I love the Library of Congress Flickr stream. Some real gems in there.
