SATC does not belong in the suburbs.

If you've ever wanted to see what the entire collections of Pink by Victoria's Secret, Abercrombie & Fitch, and Hollister would look like in one room, you should have come to the midnight showing of Sex and the City with us last night. My best friend, his girlfriend, and I all wore our fashiony best. I even mused before the movie that there might be local newspaper coverage, as the movie would probably cause quite a spectacle. I really expected people to make an effort. I wore my craziest heels. And then I sat next to these:


I know. And you would have sworn they were giving away sorority sweatshirts in the parking lot.

Other than the audience, the movie was great. Just what I had hoped for. In related news, I'll be ordering these, asap:

So, just get used to The Kills.

I have been searching high and low all over this godforsaken internet for a picture of the jeans Alison Mosshart was wearing before the Kills played when I saw them in Philadelphia. They were hanging out, eating dinner before the show (ahem, with Kate Moss), and she wore these amazing, bleach-stained, bell-bottomed jeans. Lacking originality, most of my clothing purchases are made in the hopes of emulating my stylish icons, so I've been hunting for the perfect jeans to bleach-spatter..I just needed a reference pic. Found!


I can't explain the rest of the outfit, but check out them jeans! So cool.

Slouchy beanies

Inspired by Erin Wasson, Alexander Wang, Burberry, Lulu of Everybody is Ugly, and myriad other sources..


..I'll be knitting several slouchy beanies for myself to wear in the fall. Here's a grey organic cotton one in progress.

My New Glasses

Since I saw the Marc Jacobs Louis Vuitton documentary, I've been looking for a pair of clear plastic frames like his. While I've thus far avoided the Wayfarer trend, I couldn't help jumping on the bandwagon when I saw these for $10 on fredflare.com. I bought two pairs: one for use as actual sunglasses, the other to pop the tinted lenses out of to replace with my glasses prescription and channel Marc Jacobs. It helps to work for eye doctors with an attached optical shop!
Pics to follow after they ship and alterations are complete.
