Of Desire & Regret

"I just know the more I gain the more lonely it is.But when people grow together
It’s something that is not easy but is nice and that is something, Relative.
Staying relative is hard.Staying honest is hard
I know I’m like a ghost.I have nothing But myself and potential, to me is the question of will. That’s why I am present to you"

I know we are just bearly getting into spring/summer but here are 9 trends to look out for when your thrift shopping for your Fall wardrobe.

Velvet is now for adults too / You'll be seeing red this Fall / Time to pull a Tyra & define your waists.

Subtle fur accents- Sorry PETA / More leather than ever...YES!! / You'll still be okay in your leggings

Who needs pants when you have thigh-high boots / your bf's(jacket) back / the shiny mini

2009-05-07T12:46:00.006-06:00

So, while doing some research I found out that Jcrew has a special wedding section of their website, where they offer really nice wedding dresses and tuxedos, bridesmaid dresses, wedding shoes, bow ties, monogramming, and they even have a section of what to wear on your honeymoon! Anyways thought that was cool had to share in case anyone else is getting married. I posted pics from their collection below...Not too shabby for a store in the mall.

P.S. Also found out Jcrew offers their customers personal shoppers at no additonal cost.(The things you learn at work when your supposed to be working!)

So again, I am opening up my emails, as I do every morning, and much to my surprise what do I find? Well it's another little surprise from ASOS. This time it's a Holiday Special issue, filled with bits of goodies on everything from how to achieve that Gucci summer look for less to how to pack a bag ( the right way )and might I add, what great timing this was as my Hawaiian holiday is less than a week away. The email gods sure know how to work in mysterious yet effective ways. Thanks ASOS.

Rihanna definitely hits it with these $900.00 Rodarte Leggings, batwing-ish jacket, Denim mullet-cut cut offs, and of course that awesome Earring/Necklace combo! but the rest of these pictures are... uh not so much, especially that Dolce and Gabanna puffed tuxedo she wore to the MET gala.

I don't know what is up with her hair here? and that ugly Charlotte Russe-y corset.

Charlotte Lohmann is a new up and coming model from Sydney who was most recently featured as the muse for "Zarafshan" which is the lastest collection from Austalian Designer Tina Kalivas. I love Charlotte's look it's very Miranda Kerr meets Lakshmi Menon. Charlotte is of Fijian and Indian decent- Like you couldn't tell - Can't wait for her to blow up!

2009-04-23T13:59:00.006-06:00

I opened up my email today and found this assortment of bowtie pics.

I as of recently have started a bow tie collection, and have been wanting to wear them out, but have not because i didnt want to look to dressed up. But I think the picture to the far left from Dolce & Gabanna SS/09 best captures a way to wear it and still look casual chic. ...I'll have to try this out!!

Peachy Keen!

2009-04-17T10:21:00.004-06:00

New Peaches! Her new album which was for the most part produced by james Ford of Simian Mobile Disco, will be released May 05 2009. This video ( "Talk to me" ) is 1 of the 2 singles that was recently released as a double a-side, the other song being "More" This song has been on repeat for the better half of my day, I just can't get enough, And Im loving the new hair!

So, Bravo finally picked up the much anticipated Kelly Cutrone Project. and I can't wait.
It's being called Kell on Earth. No word yet on when it will premiere, but one things for sure between this and a 2nd season of The Rachel Zoe Project, Bravo may have just been forgiven for taking away Project Runway.

Another Lindsay post...hehe

2009-04-10T23:24:00.004-06:00

Sorry, forgive me, I am just feeling bad for Lindsay right now because everyone is being rude to her. For example, when Nicole Richie passed her at a party at Chateau Marmont she said "Uck"... okay that is kinda funny, but kinda sad too. ANyways, what do we think of Linds in this A. Wang number?? thoughts?

2009-04-01T17:43:00.009-06:00

Was it just me or did the new NYLON - April '09 have LL posted all up and down its glossy pages? I mean, judging by the cover I obviously felt some sort of story coming on about her, but come on now there was even an ad for Fornarina. The following are the pics from NYLON.
n-joy :)

L.A. Confidential

I'm Missing L.A.-- I thought I would be going back to L.A

in May for work, but sadly i won't be going on that trip. . .

Oh well we'll see what other trips come into my view here.

I am a bit dissapointed though, I would've been able to stay at the Sunset Tower hotel. This picture was from the last time we went to L.A. and stayed at The London Hollywood, as you can see we had a lot of fun shopping at MJ.

Savin up for Stockholm

2009-03-31T14:56:00.009-06:00

I love coming up with different reasons to go to Sweden besides the obvious awesome stockholm street scene. Now, I will have to add this to the list, and judging by these pics of an UO in Stockholm ( which apparently looks to be an old theatre! ) it seems Swedes can do no wrong.

Really?

2009-03-17T23:49:00.009-06:00

We visited the new Forever 21 at South Towne Mall, and it was disgusting. They pretty much took the old Mervyn's - cleared everything out and replaced their "Cheetah" brand with faux Rodarte leggings, and imposter Alexander Wang Fringe heels. They even used the same racks that the Mervyn's clothes where on. Remember when you would go into a Walgrens or Rite aid and try on sunglasses, and you would turn the big white turntable fixture with all the sunglasses on it until you find one that you liked? Well this F21 has their sunglasses on the same fixture. We where so embarassed to be seen there, and we left after 15 mins inside. Stay away! On the plus side the new Nordstrom Rack across the street from South Towne Mall opens up in April.

I got mine at BITNB

2009-02-25T15:17:00.002-07:00

That's Right! And you can too! Now for a limited time only COACD and BITNB bring you this Girrrrrls shirt. At only $25 this is the ultimate luxury recession tee. I already ordered mine and the shirts ship 3-16-09. Don't wait this is sure to sell out!

Groomzilla

2009-02-25T14:57:00.003-07:00

So, I know I haven't blogged in ages, i've been really busy planning the wedding. We got a place picked out and she's already bought the dress, and we are slowly making some progress towards our deadline, which by the way is 8-8-09. I must say that this process is so stressful and kinda fun, although I have already been called groom-zilla because i said "It's my wedding!" to my mom. HaHaHa.
All sorts of drama has already happened and its only been a week and and 3 days of engagement, from my parents to her bridesmaids.

Only time will tell...

Who Knew?

2009-02-16T23:27:00.002-07:00

2009-02-13T16:51:00.014-07:00

If Friday the 13th was an official holdiay where people gave gifts these macabre goodies would be the gifts on my Friday the 13th wishlist. . . Well even though it's not an official holiday, doesnt mean that I wouldnt mind recieving them!

Skull Stationary Pack of 12 $50.00

Skull Candle $24.00

mori ex cacao(translates into Death by chocolate) Chocolate skulls comes in three differnt flavors: Scorched Carmel, curious chili, and Bitter Brandied Cherry. Gift set comes with all three $65.00

This delicate, hand-painted Little Joseph porcelain candle holder by Czech artist Maxim Velcovsky of Qubus design studio. Choose any colored candle and watch the wax melt down its little face...creepy and $100.00!

Pandora's Box Based on French jewelry boxes of the Charles X period (1824-1830) $125.00

Dia De Los Muertos candle, the devotional notes of fragrant marigolds and rich frankincense tantalize and evoke both the living and the dead $45.00

Friday, 02.13.09

2009-02-13T11:07:00.004-07:00

So, i'm on my way to work this morning and was listening to KRCL & there was this song on by a man with a raspy, Tom Waits-ish like voice singing a song with lyrics like, "The chains are too tight, the beast wont go to sleep" & "I'd claw at your heart and I'll tear at your sheets"-- I was thinking Whoa! but then I remembered it was Friday the 13th, which i guess somewhat justifies those lyrics...Right?
by the way the song was Leonard Cohen, I'm Your Man
enjoy it below.

M.I.A dances till it hurts

2009-02-08T23:34:00.002-07:00

I love that M.I.A was performing at the grammy's whilst pregnant, she is a very chic mom to be in a very stretched out House of Holland number. It was reported that she started feeling contractions right after the performance...I hope she skips the after parties and heads for the hospital!

The MK & Ashely video

interpretation

Wang Feng Shui with a touch of The Row

2009-02-06T16:59:00.006-07:00

I just watched this video on Saks from Alexander Wang and he talks about how the combo dress that Jourdan Dunn wore on the runway for Spring 09 RTW was inspired by sleeping in satin sheets then running out of your house with your sheets wrapped around you! ( how's that for inspiration ) Anyways i just bought these black satin sheets that reminded me of his story, and i love them.
I threw a black/brown faux fur on top of the satin sheets a la the exclusive footage from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen's holiday collection, on style.com. ( Apparently that really was Mary Kate's room in LA.)

Coachella 2009

2009-02-02T13:04:00.003-07:00

So I missed Coachella last year, and I told myself that no matter what that I can not miss Coachella '09....And here I am in 2009 and the Coachella artists were announced on Friday, and I dont think i can go... :(
Im broke as a joke, between saving money for possibly NYC in March and Hawaii in May my checking account is deflated. It's too bad because I REALLY wanted to See AMY WINEHOUSE,LYkke Li, The Kills, Fleet Foxes,Band of horses and Crystal Castles, and others!! Oh well we'll see...

Geometry lesson from Nicolas Ghesquière.

2009-01-31T13:03:00.009-07:00

So I'm all for the new risque CK Jeans ad's but what's with these CK by Calvin Klein ad's? I mean did Nicolas Ghesquière and Francisco Costa have geometry class together? Cause these geometrical dresses are really reminiscent of Balenciaga Spring 2008 RTW. On the plus side both Anna's look awesome. That's all.

A Question Please?

2009-01-28T21:16:00.004-07:00

Why doesnt the Barnes and Noble in Utah ever have any of these magazines?
It's like we have to wait like 2 months after they come out before we get them here!
infact the Barnes and Noble at the Gateway still has the i-D with Leona Lewis...Duh Barnes and Noble can you please fix this!

2009-01-22T18:01:00.004-07:00

The September Issue Fiasco Continues

2009-01-19T17:37:00.000-07:00

Another unsuccessful try was made yesterday in park city for The September Issue, this time we didn't even get a wait list number!!! The stupid little Asian man inside the tent at the Holiday Cinema said " They gone!" So we went to scour Main Street for some celebs, I did see Kevin Bacon and Emmy Rossum from Phantom! Last attempt will be made on Friday!

The September Issue Fiasco

2009-01-19T16:56:00.000-07:00

The September Issue debuted at Sundance Friday night the 16th of January at 630p. I had tried to purchase tickets before this showing about a week before, and of course the Anna Wintour/Vogue documentary was SOLD OUT...FOR - EVERY -SHOWING! So we read up on wait lists and how they work. "Be there at least 2hrs before start time to pick up a wait list number" it said, " then return no later than 30 mins prior to show time to line up according to number, and when seats become available, you can buy your ticket $15 per person. CASH ONLY! "We get there and I'm number 54 and I'm thinking "oh great i'm definitely not getting in" we tried to see the 930p showing. Only the first 20-22 people got tickets! It sucked Majorly! the worst part is that people who got in looked like bored Utahans who knew nothing of fashion, and just wanted to see a Sundance movie! Oh well, we will try to see it again!

If one more person asks me...

2009-01-13T17:13:00.000-07:00

I just bought two sets of these "package of 3" Pyramid rings from F21 , Yes they are from the women's section but they are unisex.Currently they are hanging around my neck on a silver chain from ASOS (chain orig came with gold bullet attached). So I have six of these rings on there, and every time I wear it ( which has been twice) everyone always asks "what's with the ring bling?" It Bugs.

Oh the Anticipation...

2009-01-08T17:45:00.000-07:00

So my love for online shopping strikes again and these are a few purchases that I am eagerly awaiting their arrival. It's Killing me.

New Catpower!! I just found this on Urban, and snatched it up! Cant wait for it to arrive to listen to some more covers that didnt make it onto Jukebox!

This Brian Lichtenberg tee is a Balenciaga Shoe tribute. Apparently Beyonce has all these shoes... ( hmm she's cool!) This only set me back 42$. Oh and I love the Big B that the shoes aer making, although Im not sure if it stands for Balenciaga or Brian. . . I'll pretend Balenciaga, cuz it's cooler. Ha.

This is another Brian Lichtenberg Shirt that was only $36 at Blood is the new black! I cant think of a better way to show some respect to the late great Yves St. Laurent. ( Plus where else can i get a "YSL logo" shirt for $36?)
