more here.

at least its funny?

Is this actually a joke?? This is honestly a failure of epic proportions. I'm gonna have to email this to Costa since he likes to be up-to-date on his sasquatch sightings.







Its like this car crash I can't turn away from. I wonder if Karl Lagerfeld just ran out of ideas and thought "well, they'll buy anything with a chanel logo on it so lets just see how far we can push it."?

But on the plus side, how hilarious will it be to see the idiot celebrities wearing fur pants just because they're Chanel? AWESOME.

Oh Stella

Unlike the majority of other designers who took the eighties structured trend WAY too far for Fall 2010, once again Stella has found the perfect happy medium between trend-driven form and her organic design sense.






Its just so easy. and simple. in the right way.
Don't get me wrong- there are a few pieces that I seem like flight risks to me (not shown and for good reason), but at the end of the day my inner young professional wants to wear all of these pieces and I'm buying nude shoes next week. I'm sold.

Okay, lets just ignore the fact that I just posted about Fall clothing in the middle of July and skip right to her resort 2011 collection.








and THAT is how you look like a lady in 2011. I'm bananas for it.

EAMES

One in every style, every color. I am graduating from pyrex to eames in the world of kitschy collectables. Leave it to me to love a chair so much.

Nighttiming

I've been trying to go to bed early and maybe even hide out a little bit. (Although I did recently discover that everyone in Halifax hides out in the same places, so maybe I should just stick what I know.) Going to bed early and revisiting my old schedule is slowing me down and bringing me back to life all at once. Its amazing how good it can be to feel rested for a change. I can't get over the difference. I definitely do still feel hardened, but at least I don't feel as weathered.

Things are finally starting to look up- I've had some real moments of clarity this week. I am feeling like I have finally crested over that hill of feeling sorry for myself. I have amazing new people in my life ( that certainly helps) but it wasn't until I realized that I needed to stop being sad and maybe even let myself be a bit pissed...or a lot pissed...before I could regrow the backbone which had long since deteriorated over the past 4 months.

Everyone makes mistakes. BIg mistakes. But when someone asked me this week if I regret everything that happened, and i promptly responded "no, i don't believe in regret, I believe in karma" (plus that phrase that can't stop leaving my bitter tongue "karma's a fucking bitch") I realized that it was up to me to learn and grow from those mistakes. Which I most definitely have.
I have paid my dues. Only a very small group of people have stood by me and know how things have truly been over the past little while and I know how much I have put myself through. That shit is over. I am officially done with being a doormat for people's hostility or a dumpster for blame. I can't prevent people from making assumptions about me but I do have the ability to stop caring that they do. I am physically exhausted from defending myself every fucking day.

Some unexpected ghosts from my past came to visit me this week. Life has been put in perspective and like I said, I have met that clarity that is required to move forward. Making my career move to Truro is the next step (September) but not before I give myself my last summer in Halifax. I have new friends to make memories with. 2 steps forward, no steps back.

Stella McCartney Autumn 2010 is BA-NANAS.
