TUESDAY TAILOR ♥ JIL SANDER IS BACK

The Mens SPRING 2013 shows in Milan brought on the return of a fashion icon Jil Sander, and from what I've read, she didn't disappoint. Pretty exciting things happening in fashion...I mean, I can't wait for the new season of shows and Raf at Dior and a real womens collection by Jil. And perfect timing. I consider both of them future designers...like....you could see their frocks in a space-age film if that makes any sense. I dunno. She's just a genius at minimalism. Anyway, check out some of the pieces below. 

On another note, I've been extremely busy preparing for the release of my first published novel, and there is a lot to do. So please forgive me if the posts go up a bit later. I will get to them. There is a lot to cover these days and I'll be posting some of the interviews I did a long time ago that never made it into the magazines I was with (usually the interviews happened too close to deadline). And have an awesome week...I'll have more news for you soon plus two fun giveaways. I just need to think of a couple of fun ideas. :)

MAKEUP MON ♥ CODIE YOUNG X VOGUE IT

I love this beauty shoot featuring Codie Young in “Fly High” shot by Greg Lotus for Vogue Italia, May 2012! Look at the gorgeous hair and makeup job!!! I love how makeup and hair and style have seeped back into popular culture. Like colors and hair colors and eye colors. And I love Codie Young. I worked on a big campaign (that's out now), but they had already cast their models. Which is kind of rough. But I had dreamt of working with Codie Young on it. Oh well. Next time. Next campaign.♡

the pretty pretty codie young. and lovely makeup!

SUNDAY MATINEE ♥ HARPER LEE DOC

Watch Harper Lee: Hey, Boo on PBS. See more from American Masters.

I just watched this amazing documentary on Harper Lee, the author of TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, which is one of the best books ever written for style and for content. I love watching documentaries and especially documentaries on PBS about creative people I love. Lee was also very close to one of my other favorite writers, Truman Capote, the author who wrote BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S (yes it was a scandalous little tiny book before it was a movie). I knew they were close, but I didn't know all the history behind their friendship and this taps into that, too. Lee is alive but does not speak to press and this documentary also debunks the rumor that she is a recluse. I think these kinds of documentaries are very inspiring and motivating if you're any kind of creative, whether you're dreaming about being a clothing designer or a painter...there's a message in there for you, too. If not, then maybe that's the message, too. Happy Sunday!♡

SATURDAY SHOPPING ♥ CDG X STAR WARS!

YES! This is one of the reasons why I love Comme des Garçons so much! They f-ing get it! OR SHE f-ing gets it (Rei Kawakubo)! If you don't like these or like Star Wars, then that's fine...not everyone gets "it". I am a massive Star Wars fan (my voicemail alert tone is Darth Vadar and my text alert tone is R2D2 overloading. I like the original three films and not the newer three so much and have prob watched The Empire Strikes Back over 100 times. Yes...I am a Star Wars geek!) Though these T-shirts are really pricey, I would buy one or two maybe. And probably the bigger bag. It's all new and exclusive at Dover Street Market. May the force be with you. PS Harrison Ford is really hot in these old Star Wars films. :)♡

this is my favorite shirt. love! but it's like £95!

i also love this in a galaxy far far away bag.

i love this shirt. though i don't know if i would wear a style like this.
but i love it so much.
