kate the great

These three images number amongst a thirteen page spread W mag did on Kate Moss for their March 2012 issue.

I think photographer Steven Klein did an astounding job capturing Ms. Moss’ impregnable, enigmatic aura.

Say what you will about Kate Moss; she’s an amazing model.

If you haven’t seen the parody Sh*t Fashion Girls Say, you are missing out big time. Prior to watching, I thought I was an original. Turns out I’m a total cliché who characterises peeps (myself included) based on Sex and the City characters and overuses the word “obsessed.”

I stole today’s blog title from this webisode. It aptly describes 80% of the shoes I own; and today’s featured Lanvin sandals are nooo exception.

Wearing recently purchased Current/Elliot jeans and an old Zara coat. I love when I get something new and it perfectly compliments something I already own.

follow suit

My variation of a “power suit?” A Burberry Prorsum tuxedo jacket paired with J.Brand leather pants (gifted). Don’t ask why, but I always feel most myself and most powerful in leather; whether it’s a leather jacket, shorts, or pants. Maybe I’m harboring a repressed rockstar fantasy.

To avoid looking like Johnny Cash (love him, but all black isn’t my thing), I threw on vintage Francois Pinton sunnies and a Missoni halter top that I snagged at Saks when I was seventeen. Literally. I don’t know what I’m more amazed/disturbed by. That I can recall the store of said purchase years later…or that I can still fit into adolescent clothes. It’s a tossup.

Added my Chloe Sevigny for Opening Ceremony tranny/hooker boots for a dose of drama/ “lady of the night” vibe. Subsequently, I wear these bad boys with discretion; now, anyway

I once made the mistake of wearing these six inch platforms to the dog park (pragmatism and I are not well acquainted), and practically broke my leg. I soon took them off, but not before some random dude came up to me and said, “I think I speak for all the guys here when I say we appreciate your effort.”

The way I see it, if my outfits are fodder for amusement, I’ve done my job.

karl lagerfeld is hilarious

I’m something of a quote fiend, so I HAD to share some of Karl’s most amusing observations (in no particular order) :

“I’m very down to Earth, I’m just not from this Earth”

“Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life, so you bought some sweatpants.”

“If you stick to something doggedly, you’re off to a bad start.”
