Paris Fashion Week

So after looking through the collections from Paris Fashion Week for S/S 09, I must say that Christophe Decarnin has taken my heart. From the ripped acid wash jeans, studded shoes, to the AMAZING shoulders on that jacket, I am in love. Usually, the only person in Paris who has my heart is Nicolas Ghesquiere. But when I saw the Balmain collection, I was simply in awe. The military detailing on the jackets and the conical shoulders are just genius. And the denim was to die for. Balmain usually does not mesmerize me this much, Balenciaga is usually my go to for that. But as of late, I feel a few other designers--namely Christophe Decarnin and Riccardo Tisci--are really starting to grab my attention. And while no studded shoe will ever be as great as these Rodarte's below.....Balmains studded sandals are pretty damn close!

good-bye hair.

So the time has come for me to cut my hair. And if you know me, you know I am extremely particular about who I let cut my hair. When I lived in Richmond, I drove to DC to cut my hair, and since I am going to DC next weekend, I figured what better time to get a new do! I have been deciding what to get done, and I have finally decided on rocker chic bangs. Sort of like Kate Moss, mostly like CC Sheffield. This picture below is of her and was taken by the Sartorialist. I love almost everything he snaps, but for some reason I can't stop looking at this picture in particular. It's too perfect for words. Her hair, the black jumpsuit, the henna tattoos, the colors, just everything! Anyways, I hope I look half as fun as her with my new haircut!

I am lusting over these....





Stella McCartney shoes. Not only are they simply beautiful but they're made with all animal friendly materials. Which is what I really love about her shoes, as well as Natalie Portman's line for Te Casan. If I wasn't saving my ducks for something I've been lusting over for years now, I would go out and buy these little gems. They also looked amazing on one of my most favorite girl's in Elle UK. Mary-Kate's spread was dazzling.











On the theme of the beloved Olsens. I must post this picture of Ashley from a Hamptons Style magazine from this summer--which featured a great long article and lovely spread on her. Her androgynous clothes have really inspired a lot of my fashion this summer. And although she isn't wearing suspenders in the picture, it looks like she is which is another thing I am dying to get my hands on for Fall. I have a lot of great things in mind to wear them with, so hopefully I can find the perfect pair soon.

Stuntin is a habit. Get Like Me.


So I am totally obsessed with get like me by David Banner. I really really love dirty south hip-hop. And Mr. Q thinks I should be a diiirrrty-south dj in NYC. I have NO dj-ing skills what-so-ever but I have plenty of fresh dj-ing outfits.

Today I am wearing my new Alexander Wang sweater dress, and I love it. And I am completely in love with him. I bought some vintage levi shorts this past weekend inspired by his F/W collection, and I am going to distress my tights with holes and runs just like on his runway and wear them all over manhattan. Anyways you can see the sweater dress in the picture. Although it's a really horrible picture and you don't really get the full greatness effect from it. But oh well.

You know what I've noticed? Most people carry their handbag on the shoulder of the arm they write with. But I don't, I carry it on my left-shoulder. Does that make me goofy-armed? I skateboard goofy-footed too. Weird.
