Spring Forward

Some Marc Jacobs I want to rock for spring & summer: printed clutch, cat eye sunnys.. and hell, why not some graffiti.

Brims and Banter

Everything about this reminds me of my dad, and this Oscar Wilde quote:

'Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.'

Design Grind

Peering in on the 2 month mark for my design job, which really felt like 2 years. Trust me, I love this feeling.. and I love a dark shade of green on guys for this late winter season.

Dirty Monday

Oh darling, I feel like this today. To nothing but a little Gucci. I love Thomas Lohr.

Shooting Stars?

Tasteful vulgarity. Dear Terry, I like what dirty random you see.

Gift With Purchase

Manila's got thrift? Oh yes, oh yes to my recent acquisition of a 70's vintage Wilsons House of Suede leather jacket. Hard find, easy fit, blazer style, rusted red, pin tuck detailing, and an unlit phillip morris fag in the right pocket to make it that much more badass. For some reason Ian Curtis came to mind. What is it about an unyielding gaze and first hand smoke that alludes a sense of 'cool'. I'm not a nicotine fiend, but if I had my pick I go with the gg kretek. Smoke and leather, get it on, get it on..

Bring It...

It looks like Polaroid is re-releasing the Color 600 Instant Film, along with a new modernized version of the classic camera. The film supposedly vibes with the old and the new, and will be at arm's length later in the year. Time to stow away the digi, and rekindle a bit of that candid. I can't wait to dust off my old polar, to merely hear that sexy ringing sound of instant development. Just remember, you only get one shot.

Trench Town

Every decade the trench just keeps getting better. As a good daughter to her father, I'll have kids of my own learning to say the word trench before even learning to walk. If you're like me you'll spend hours scoping out every visual inch of this living document, collaborated between Burberry and some talented photographers. Love it up, and crush on a few I can't stop staring at.. let's hear it for these boys. www.artofthetrench.com

Mary Kate? Yes, Mary Kate..

Glamoruos yet Bohemian, signature yet inconspicous, throw away the dress code. From 'The Wackness' to her and her sister's new high end minimalist line 'The Row'. More than just a crush, everything about her I so adore.

Cats & Dogs

Please help the Philippines victims of Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) by making a donation:

*Philippine National Red Cross - http://www.redcross.org.ph
*UNICEF - www.unicef.org/philippines
*World Food Program - https://www.wfp.org/donate/ondoy

The widespread flooding, landslides, and population displacement, have affected over 3 million people. Many families have lost loved ones, their homes, and are in need of immediate food aid. Unfortunately the Philippines government is useless at this point, and not fully able to provide for its people during this devastating event. Even the smallest amount will make a great contribution. Spread the word.

For the World

This time it was her 3rd. Happy Birthday little G.


Woof, I got you the live version:

No Guys, Just Dolls

Sharon Tate is all glamour and no destruction, despite her role in one of my classic faves, 'Valley of the Dolls.' This goes way beyond a secret girl crush, I am deeply inspired by her beauty, her style, her light & dark, and her flower child carefree ways. Sad to say I missed the opening of Jeremy Corbell's mixed media art exhibition in Culver City titled, ICON: The Life and Style of Sharon Tate, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of her passing. Peep out some of the work at www.jeremycorbell.com.

The Grey Cardi

Oh, the ceaseless fad of stripes, print, and plaid. But I always stick to my clad philosophy.. 'wear what you feel'. It's Fall again, and I would dig myself a grave to feel the beauty in the decay. Since I lack a spade, I'll keep it simple and sexy, trust me, this could get personal. Go ahead, if you can't follow your own lead, check how they rock the Grey Cardi..
