MOAR SLIPPARS PLZ

Jenni Kayne FW 2011

One thing I love is when a single shoe is used throughout an entire show. It tells me that a designer is aware of how you might love a certain pair of shoes and attempt to wear them with everything in your wardrobe even at your own peril. The Pre-Fall Dearfoams have been replaced with slide velvet megas that I have not been able to source on the internet as yet. I am still on the hunt. The game is afoot?

I've watched this half a dozen times and still cannot get enough of the Ricky Nelson dubbed, overcranked image of a dude in Cerruti doing tricks. What's not to love? The Michael Jackson finger taping? I'll give it a pass since the rest of it is so weirdly relaxing. I am a frog in a pot.

Julian's shoe game in Less Than Zero is second to none. I know that leather sandals are really frightening for your average man, but this is so Antibes in the 20s incredible, you cannot deny it.

What is up ding dong Magoos? I was going to post this on our nation's blessed half birthday because it is so utterly prescient to my life at the mo' but got hung up on Pre-Fall Céline dreams and outlet shopping. Seriously ladies, GO BUY SWEATERS NOW. It seems antithetical to what your crazy rhythms are portending but DO IT. You won't regret having 25 dollar cashmere in your closet ever. I don't care that your ovaries are pining for an unmade baby to birth in two months, don't listen to them, your brains are in charge! Smart moms know. Glove up, et.al.  

 A word about cardigans, they're pretty much ruined right? If you're anything like me there's a definite queen-y factor that is hard to get around but if you buy a size larger and wear them backwards it puts you on a bullet train to Kinski-town. Win! Another tip from the internet into my life and onto yours. Even if you're chesty, this is attainable, just make sure you find a nice silk camisole that covers your busted t-shirt bra.

VENA CAVA X TEN OVER 6 

I've been fiending for this shoe collaboration since last September and have burnt myself out in anticipation. I understand from both sides now since I haven't felt like sharing my share-y share share's worth around here either. (Winter bummers, what can I say?) I never promised you a rose garden, I made no allusions about content. I'm not a machine y'know. I'm still scouring the dinnernet for my fash-wins but I've gone stealth mostly, in terms of output. Sometimes a girl's gotta incubate. 

I'm sort of over these since they're old news and still not available. Don't post on the 1st that they'll be out within the week/in store and not have anything to show by the 7th. Just sayin', that's bad business babe, I don't care who you're married to. They're still sending off gorgeous 70s art teacher vibes and I want, but in a more attenuated form of that former want I had back in September of 2010AD. It leads me to believe I will never own them because, no one wants Paul Newman in The Verdict, they want Paul Newman in The Young Philadelphians. What? Did I just blow your mind a little with my moment of truth act break? Deal with it. Things just got very real up in hurr.
