Dear Wooden Platform,
I am in love with you. You channel me to my inner hippie chic, summers with short dresses and long hair, outdoor concerts and backyard barbecues. Whether you're vintage or off the runway, designer or Jessica Simpson, I just can't get enough of you.
Sincerely yours,
gi.

Vogue Paris Feb 2010, Anja Rubik
Get ready to gasp: I have not bought one item of clothing since June (shoes don't count!). And let me tell you, it is brutal trying to find inspiration in clothes you have worn a million times over, a million different ways. Trying to muddle up some inspiration for attire for the evenings festivities, I found this spread and I couldn't help but post it.
Honestly, how badass is Anja?

I am a lucky girl. My boyfriend patiently listens to all of my fashion rants and raves--whether I'm quietly swooning over last months Jalouse editorials or loudly expressing my distaste for MJ's 80's revival collection--he pays attention. However, when it comes time to checking out menswear (more specifically, menswear I'm trying to tell him to wear) he tunes out. Perusing through the latest menswear collections I was keeping my eye out for things that might interest him, yet what I found was that I would wear each piece I found!
Well, androgyny is in...

Day 1: 23 More To Wait

Today is the first day of school and it is officially storming outside. Any attempt to put together an ensemble was a miserable failure--it only took two seconds to get soaked to the bone. Enjoying my long break between classes, watching the Food Network and cozying up in front of my heater I am getting oh so excited for New York Fashion Week. These photos just get me anxious for what's to come!
23 days and counting.

Whose Winter Wonderland Is It?

Last February I spent a lovely week escaping our bone chilling winter in paradise. Also known as Hawaii. Though I love winter, as I've mentioned before, it was so magical to be able to experience "summer in winter." Driving around Oahu with the top down and a warm breeze hitting my skin, walking around in a bikini at midnight...total paradise.
Garance's post takes me back to the utter bliss I felt during that week. Rio is a place I've always dreamed to go and hopefully soon I'll know what their paradise feels like!

Comment T'Appelles-Tu?

It's a slow moving day and I'm feeling like relaxing. Listening to my Morcheeba Pandora mix, halfway cleaning the house, halfway reading blogs, completely content in my bathrobe doing absolutely nothing. I'm in a mood but I'm not sure how to describe it or what it's called. That seems to be the case with these portraits from Jessie Craig. The vibe of each subject rings through the photo and makes complete sense...even if it's indescribable. Definitely one of my favorite photographers, Jessie has the power to capture the mood in every single photo.

So seriously sleepy and I think I'm getting sick--again. No fancy title but I know I'm in love with these photos. They're just so "Marlboro Man" badass gone gorgeous woman. Gotta love it.

Terry's World

Tell me you're just as juiced about this as I am: Terry Richardson, a reigning figures in fashion photography, has started his own blog. Acting as a sort of diary, us lucky readers get a seemingly better insight into the world of one of fashion's greatests.
Check it out here and let me know if you love it as much as I do.

Baby It's Cold Outside...And It's Monday...

Though I am aware that I have no right to complain, I will do so anyways. It's freeeezing. Well, California-freezing. My hands are numb, my toes are blue and goosebumps have permanently inhabited my entire body. Winter has always been my favorite time of year (quite possibly because it never gets too cold in the Bay Area) and the Tahoe snow is just three hours away...but for some reason I am not doing so well in even our mildest wintery weather.
Hello, steaming hot bubble bath! Here I come!

Flying High

Though I am limited by my feeble student budget, I am still lucky enough to find myself on the plane from time to time. However it is with a double edged sword: my international flights mean brilliant travels but they also mean a long, awful entrapment in coach seating. How luxuriously fabulous would it be to have the room to move around like this?!
