well, hello handsome
if you haven't had a chance you should definitely check out the blog backyardbill. basically, bill "features stylish folks in their own clothes" - one of which is the very yummy quetzal saunders above. he always captures the most amazing and stylish (without trying) folks - they all look like someone you'd like to sit down and have a chat with for a spell.

tina kalivas' polyrhythm collection mixes influences from afghanistan with a touch of african geometry. i really like the prints.

missoni pre-fall 2010
the more i look at this, the more i like it. yes, a bit one-dimensional in the styling but separately there are some yummy pieces.
miroslav tichy
mirsolav tichy is now nearly 80 years old. he resides in kyjov, a small moravian town. he has spent much of his life hiding in the bushes and taking pictures of women without their knowledge with his home-made camera.
in the 1940s tichy studied at academy of fine arts in prague but after the communist takeover in 1948 he dropped out of school and returned to moravia. he spent some eight years in prison camps and upon his release in the 1970s he wandered around in rags pursuing his obsession with the female form using cameras he made from tin cans, children's spectacle lenses and other junk he found on the street. he would return home each day to make prints on equally primitive equipment, making only one print from the negatives he selected.
he stole intimate glimpses of his subjects through windows & fences and would often draw intricately on each print in pencil. the work, which seems to be intrusive voyeurism, takes on a melancholic and poetic quality. he produced work solely for himself without regard for exhibition or selling the works to others.
in july 2004, he won the 'new discovery award' at arles. he has now been exhibited in galleries in london, new york and zurich.
covet-able
kind of perfect.
how cozy comfortable do these look? i must confess: i always love the idea of this style of shoe but they just don't work for me....it's either 6 " heels or flip-flops (and the occasional war torn converse)
i would wear these every single day! love.
the fabulous phoebe

...seriously could not agree more. i was in maxfield's the day before christmas "window" shopping with a friend and we both kind of complaining that we didn't really love anything. we both simultaneously picked up shoes and looked at each other saying how much we really liked them. turned out they were céline. she's pretty impeccable in my book.
