thrifted this a couple weeks ago. Love it - def going into the main circulation. Since the picture is so bad I'll elaborate. It's navy and forest green plaid straight out of someones closet form 1992.

Autum Layers
as I struggled to find something to wear this morning I was reminded of the fact that I really don't have any good clothes right now. It's ridiculous, I squeezed into a sweater/sweatshirt thingy from like 5 years ago. I walked to the train thinking "give it up lady" anyway, I love the Ralph Lauren blazer I'm wearing - I got it from Sal's maybe 4 or 5years ago but I didn't start wearing it until last Fall foolishly.
yay or nay?
this dress reminds me of a russian scarf, that's really the only reason why I think I like it. I had it all summer and I've only worn it a couple of times.
Veggie Sausage Fingers
DB said she has fat fingers so she gave me her new ring. If her fingers are fat than what are mine...sausages? (veggie of course)
40 Bond St.
walking down bond st I was surprised to find this winter wonderland thing. I have no idea why there's an art installation in front of the entire building but I instantly smiled. And as I'm imagining wearing soft fuzzy boots and thick layers drinking hot chocolate walking in the cold city I look across the street and see the CUTEST restaurant that screamed everything about AUTUMN LOVE. It must be a bistro - no other place could be that dim and romantic and perfect. Like how my parents house looks around this time when its dark out and they only have one candle burning in the glass enclosed front porch. Pumpkins and dim lights basically - so great. I'm going, will take a pic to share the experience (if I'm not feeling too cool for school).btw: tonight is another warm October 80 degree-er.
Hair Shot
if i can figure out a way to make the curls stay longer than 2 hours I may not need that mid-length bob wig after all...we shall see.
wood
ies (mtvU award show) are coming up next month, I don't even know who's performing this year. I went last year and the year before. '05 fav was def Death Cab (death cab I LOVE U) and '06 was def TV on the Radio (not Gym Class - sorry James I know Trav is yur baby and all - and I agree that he's cute for sure but I'm a fan of TVOTR for their actual music).
Death Cab for Cutie - Soul Meets Body
TV On The Radio - Wolf Like Me

Too many jackets and nothing to wear
I don't own any jackets that I currently love (including the black army I wore during the day). Well maybe I'm into 3 of them, yet I own about 8 ( and that's just Fall jackets not coats and that's not spring jackets either). I surprisingly don't even care, I mean I just am feeling shopping lazy and the thought of searching for a great Fall jacket when I can invest that time and $ into the ultimate winter coat search just seems stupid. So anyway back to the jacket convo - shall I purge or shall I not... I'm annoying.p.s. I found great brown riding boots today that remind me of the ones I had in 8th grade - traded those brown ankle boats and some other stuff to cover the cost.
Longest Work Week Ever
This is how I feel after the longest work ever...maybe next week will be better :/
Slumpy
Fashion slump yes - but at least I had a good hair week (well the beginning of the week anyways)
Genie Sofa at michaels office
second hand baseball tee and those damn Minnetonka booties that I've worn for like everyday for 2 years!so wanted to let these worn out boots have a rest. But the new leather ankle boots feel like boats. I hate them. Maybe I get black moccasin booties (a lil bit taller) just to get a break from my regulars.
p.s. walking up w.houston (near 6th ave) we saw jeffrey from project runway. 1, yay project runway starts soon and 2, YES, his neck is even weirder looking in real life.
Couple of summer '07 favorites
Justice - D.A.N.C.E. Me: love
J Dilla - Nothing Like This. Me: speechless
A certain music loving person in my life (michael) suggested that I post music that I like on this blog. I'm no longer opposed to the idea- it might be exciting to reflect and see what I was into and when. So anyway, I only chose 2 of my summer loves to post. Months later and I still can't get enough of them.
btw. I just caught the cute Fiest shout out in D.A.N.C.E months and months after listening to it. I'm slow.
Sincerely, Bigfoot
No I'm not dressed as a petite man, this is James. James has a real job, with pink carpets - and they force him to wear biz caz
this is me
I feel like my feet look HUGE in these boots :( They're 8.5 instead of my real size 8, but I was desperado for leather ankle boots and they look so good for vintage. Argh. I think I'm over them already
Holding on for NO reason
no, I'm not 5 months pregnant! just a really bad angle of a very loose shirt. i promise, i swear!
this shirt was suppose be in the purge pile LAST WINTER
the shoes are going too - they feel bulky
Confirmations
Searching for fleas in the e.v. and came to a couple of very sad confirmations. 1. The Ave A flea is def forever long gone and closed down after 11 years. and 2. Suzette Sundays is closing down next month after 5 years. And now a moment of silence...Anyway, I found Basquiat spray painted on a wall. Aww
walked past a few stoop sales today, courtney got a colorful belt
I got a Mexican looking jumper...guess I'm really into the red and purple thing
Sloppy Uniform
I looked a sloppy mess today. From the wrinkled vintage Lacoste cardigan that's totally piling sp? to the super thick argyle socks stuffed into my oxfords - eww. O, mental note: buy socks that aren't 5 inches thick or knee-highs.
Classic or maybe just boring.
I wanted to wear my black jeans but they're dirty. Not sure how impressed I am with the UES Miranda Miranda look, but whatever.
Ahh 70 degrees isn't exactly Autumn
I'm thinking this purple, deep pink color works on me...maybe it's the SUPER DARK tan I still have from Mexico.
Too tired to put my flats back on - just got home from Montclair for my step dads bday. I'm sleepy.
p.s. happy birthday Courtney.
Autumn has indeed arrived.
My new (new to me) vintage camel blazer. weeeeee
Fall is in the air. Time to switch over to my plain jane second hand gucci compact bag. My beloved tan leather bag that I wear EVERYDAY came from some German online thrift store that I can not remember for the life of me. Such the ongoing frustration.
And the almost 90 degree heat continues.
Flip flops like my parents from the 80's - perfectly cushy for long walks in nyc.
Grab your Neon Bible!
Saturday Arcade Fire told us that they wouldn't be back in the states for at least 2 years. Bad news all the way and kinda ironic since Ariel is off to Oregon then San Diego on Monday. She only has a 1 way ticket, so on Saturday I said good bye to a few of my favorites.
btw. my black fake keds from Japan got pretty dirty, but it was worth it.
Vests.
These pics blow. But I love the 60's cream vest that I thrifted 2 weeks ago, it has great gold buttons. I really sacrificed my body temperature by wearing knee length moccasin boots (slouched down real low). Why o why is it still 85 degrees I ask. Plan on wearing this ensemble within the month and will take an accurate picture.
It's scary that I own a vintage sweater vest that could very well belong in Ugly Betty's wardrobe.
p.s. My Tokyo 7 money came in CHACHINGG and I'm going shopping. I want new jeans and black heels. I HATE wearing black shoes except for my ugly tall police boots but I need an actual black shoe (not a flat & not a boot) to wear with tights.
