the air that i breathe

for some reason i google image searched "smoke" and came across this wonderful...image? animation? something...whatever it is, i wasn't able pull it off to embed, so i took screen shots b/c it's just so good, it needs to be shared. for the real, moving deal, please check it out here. kind of reminds me of jeremy blake and a bryan graf photo i loved.

my ideal wardrobe

FROM EBAY, A VICTORIAN CLOTHING SEARCH...BLACK AND WHITE, AND A LITTLE PLAID THROWN IN. THE WHITE IS JUST A SHEET IN THE BACKGROUND, BUT I LOVE HOW IT LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE PART OF THE FIRST OUTFIT...AND THE LINING COLOR OF THE MIDDLE PIECE...UGH, IT'S ALL JUST PERFECTION.

doucette duvall spring 2009

SADLY, I MISSED MY FAVORITE PERSON, ANNABET, FROM DOUCETTE DUVALL, DUE TO A SHOE MALFUNCTION, OR A THINLY VEILED ACT OF CLUMSINESS.
I FELL FLAT ON MY FACE IN THE TRAIN STATION, WHEN MY LANVIN HEELS GOT CAUGHT IN MY WIDE-LEGGED JEANS. SIGH. IN TRUE NEW YORK FASHION, NO ONE SKIPPED A BEAT BUT MY OWN HEART WAS RACING. BY THE TIME I WAS ABLE TO COMPOSE MYSELF AND GET TO THE PRESENTATION, EVERYONE HAD LEFT, BUT THERE WAS STILL A BOWL OF REALLY COOL "DOUCETTE DUVALL FOR OBAMA" PINS. I TOOK (STOLE?) THREE. THIS IS A MENTAL NOTE TO SCAN IT IN SINCE I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY ONLINE. TO COME.

HERE IS WHAT I DIDN'T SEE, BUT REALLY LOVED FROM WWD:

I'M NOT A KNITTER, BUT WORKING ON HAVING SOMEONE HAND-KNIT A FEW SWEATERS FOR FALL DUSKIN.
HABU TEXTILES HAS THE PRETTIEST YARNS AND EVEN PRETTIER COLORS- I SPENT HOURS IN THEIR SHOWROOM TODAY, AND LEFT WITH ONLY A CATALOG, BECAUSE I COULDN'T MAKE A DECISION...


NOW PLAYING: RYAN STRATTON - HOLOGRAMS AND CIGARETTES

trenchtown rock

I'M NOT BIG ON COLD WEATHER, BUT I DO LOVE A GOOD COAT TO HIDE MY COMFORT CLOTHES BELOW.
WHEN I WAS A MAGAZINE ASSISTANT RUNNING AROUND TOWN, I WOULD JUST WEAR THE RATTIEST CLOTHES - SWEATPANTS (AT LEAST THEY WERE A.P.C. SWEATPANTS!), T-SHIRT, SNEAKERS- AND THROW ON MY VERONIQUE BRANQUINHO CAPE, AND NO ONE WAS THE WISER.
AFTERALL, IT WAS ABOUT WHAT WAS ON THE OUTSIDE, NOT IN.
OR MAYBE THEY WERE TOO BUSY THINKING ABOUT THE WEIRD CAPE...

ANYWAY, A FEW SEASONS AGO, MY FRIEND AIMEE CHO STARTED AN INSPIRED TRENCH COAT LINE, CALLED GRYPHON, THAT IS NOW THE REASON I CONTINUE TO OBEY WINTER.
IN ADDITION TO CLASSIC TRENCH STYLES, SHE MAKES OTHER GREAT BODIES IN REALLY SPECIAL FABRICS, AND NOW...PRETTY CLOTHES TOO!
I CAN'T WAIT TO WEAR MY NEWEST COAT ONCE IT GETS A LITTLE COLDER.
ASIDE FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO WEAR IT YEAR-ROUND IN NEW YORK,
"THE PIPE" IS PERFECTION. YOU MAY NOT SEE IT WELL FROM THIS PHOTO,
BUT THE TRIM (AROUND THE BODY AND AT THE POCKETS) IS MADE OF BEADS.
BEAUTIFUL, LITTLE, SILVER BEADS THAT ARE SO SLICK, THEY REPEL THE RAIN.
NO, NOT REALLY, BUT THE COAT ACTUALLY DOES...

NOW PLAYING: CARLA BRUNI - YOU BELONG TO ME

unlike any other

MY FRIEND TOM MEYERS MAKES THE MOST GORGEOUS THINGS UNDER THE NAME TEM.

NOT CONFINED TO BEING JUST JEWELRY, THE PIECES HAVE THEIR OWN CATEGORY-
SIMPLY, PRETTY THINGS TO WEAR.
YOU CAN FIND IT AT STORES LIKE BARNEYS AND IF, IN NEW YORK.
YOU CAN ALSO FIND IT AROUND MY NECK AND WRISTS, AND ALSO IN MY EARS,
AS I HAVE AMASSED QUITE THE COLLECTION.
BUT, IT'S NEVER ENOUGH...
