maison martin margiela: spring 2009

CREEPY YES, BUT THEY MAKE FOR REALLY STRIKING IMAGES (AND THESE WERE THE MOST NORMAL IN MY OPINION!)…

I’M GLAD ALICE IN WONDERLAND POSTED THIS ON ALEXA CHUNG BECAUSE I HAD BEEN MEANING TO, BUT GOT LAZY…SHE’S ADORABLE.


NOW PLAYING: T. REX – MAMBO SUN

no squares here…

NORMALLY WHEN I THINK OF COURREGES, I THINK OF MINISKIRTS, OUTERSPACE, AND GEOMETRIC SHAPES, AND I’M NOT A FAN OF THOSE THINGS ALL AT ONCE.
BUT I LOVE THE WAY THIS GIRL MODERNIZES HER CROPPED BABY BLUE WITH TIGHT JEANS AND PLAID SHIRT. IT’S REFRESHING TO SEE, AND THE ONLY WORD THAT COMES TO MIND IS, “COOL.” (ARTICULATE I AM NOT.)
HMMM…THIS MADE ME REMEMBER THAT LA REDOUTE AT ONE POINT CARRIED SOME NEW COURREGES ON THEIR SITE, SO I JUST WENT TO FIND IT, AND IT’S ALL SOLD OUT…THEY OCCASIONALLY DO COLLABORATIONS WITH DESIGNERS- CHRISTIAN LACROIX, LOU DOILLON, AND SOPHIA KOKOSALAKI ARE JUST SOME OF THE FEW I CAN REMEMBER. IT DOESN’T SEEM AS THOUGH THEY’VE HAD ANYONE NEW RECENTLY, BUT IT’S WORTH CHECKING OUT EVERY FEW WEEKS.
YOU NEVER KNOW.

NOW PLAYING: STONE ROSES – SHOOT YOU DOWN

don’t save us from the flames

NOT ENTIRELY SURE WHY, BUT WHEN I LOOK AT THIS PRINT FROM CHRISTOPHER DAVID RYAN, I HEAR THE M83 SONG, “DON’T SAVE US FROM THE FLAMES.”
BOTH ARE REALLY DREAMY, AND BOTH THE PRINT AND THE VIDEO ARE BELOW.
I FOUND CD RYAN THROUGH MY FRIEND DEENA, WHO HAS A DESIGN STUDIO CALLED SOUTH KENT WYTHE, IN BROOKLYN (I’LL LINK TO HER SITE ONCE IT’S GONE LIVE OFFICIALLY).

NOW PLAYING: BEACH HOUSE – GILA

i want to be here right now:

ANY BEACH, ANYWHERE. OR, MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA.
FELL IN LOVE WITH THE LAID BACK VIBE ON A ROAD TRIP A FEW YEARS BACK.
IT WAS A RANDOM STOP, JUST TO HIT THE BEACH, THEN BACK INTO THE CAR UPWARDS NORTH. QUICK, BUT UNFORGETTABLE.

NOW PLAYING: DESTROYER – THIS NIGHT
