God bless Alexander Wang

I literally just teared up when I read on fashionista.com that Alexander Wang is debuting a diffusion line (T by Alexander Wang) of what will probably be the most perfect fucking t-shirts ever, ranging from $20 to $48. Start saving now, you'll want at least one of each!

Oh god, there are shoes, too:

The fringe!! I think I'm hyperventilating..

I just found out..

..that Tom Binns is Irish! I love him even more now..

I love Garbage.

I love Shirley Manson's coat in this video. I'd prefer it paired with her minidress-and-combat boot ensembles, but this was their first single/video, I think she was still refining her frontwoman-chic. I've been listening to this album for a few days..brings back all kinds of seventh/eighth grade memories..

Fall Shopping List.

Okay, I know my consumer-culture-driven need to acquire completely negates my eco-maniac rant from the last post. Trust that there is a huge amount of residual Catholic guilt that weighs on me every day as I try to merge the dueling sides of my classic Pisces personality: raging environmentalist meets total fashion addict. It's hard. Typical example: I tote my Forever 21 purchases home in an organic canvas bag. I also try to balance new purchases with thrifted ones.

forgive me, father, for i have sinned..it has been 10 minutes since my last confession..

Sickening.

This stupid bitch needs a publicist with an IQ. "Green," in this instance, does not refer to the color t-shirt you selected upon (unfortunately) waking this morning, to pair with your ass and jeans. Green means you give a shit about the future of the planet and investigate what you can do to better its future. Which generally, the average moron would even surmise, means NOT PICKING UP A STUPID FUCKING TABLOID AND CARRYING IT HOME IN A PLASTIC BAG, WHILE WEARING A DUMB T-SHIRT, PROBABLY NOT EVEN ORGANIC COTTON, THAT SAYS 'GREEN IS THE NEW BLACK'. Keep hanging out with Paris Hilton, you idiot Kim Kardassian. Sorry guys, I'm a few sangrias deep, and this picture just completely outraged me.

I like to consider myself a serious environmentalist, and I know these stupid t-shirts which usually retail for less than $20 in mass-market chain stores are not benefitting the cause in any way. To actually benefit the cause (esp. if you reside in New Jersey), please visit www.drgreenway.org, an environmental organization dedicated to the preservation of open space, beautiful land, and precious creatures. I'm on one of their committees, and I'm extremely impressed by the level of dedication and professionalism of those involved. None of the people I've met through this organization would be dumb enough to be caught in this picture/situation.

Seriously, it's not hard, stop using plastic bags. Get two cheap tote bags (honestly, they're EVERYWHERE now.), keep them in your car, and when a cashier goes to put your pack of gum in a bag by itself, it's okay to say to them, "I don't need a bag for that, thank you." Just do it. It's important, and it makes a difference. Thank you and have a good night. <3

Fucking genius.

Tim Burton is doing an adaptation of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. I'm so excited!

Sweating and panting..

..is what these Gucci Hysteria bags do to me. I must say, I'm less impressed with the patent and python versions. The tapestry is just so..gypsy. Perfect. I would sacrifice a vacation to have one of these. I'll always love Tom Ford, but I really, really like what Frida Giannini has done at Gucci so far. Christ, the whole Fall 08 collection..sick.
