Wrap yourself in lace and leather

The combination of these two fabrics creates a feminine yet strong look. To look delicate, yet hard, combine a lace top with a black leather skirt or a pair of leather boots, like my obsession boots (black Frye Harness boots). The materials juxtapose each other in a way that portrays the wearer as feminine with a mean streak. She may seem sweet, but she has a bad side.

peace of mind?

its nice to know the most beautiful of the beautiful, aren't in fact as beautiful as they seem.

you there!

you crazy crunchy granola eating vegan. You wear patchouli and organic cotton. you don't eat meat because you do not believe in animal cruelty. YET YOU WEAR LEATHER SHOES? Im sorry, but don't wearing leather Birkenstocks and eating a steak kind of go in the same category? Please, correct me if I'm wrong.

lipshit.

what is this sharpie lip liner? Is Covergirl really trying to promote a marker as a "lip stain?" The thing has a felt tip for Christ's sake. Covergirl, dont kid yourself. Consumers, dont kid yourselves. A box of Crayola markers is probably cheaper, and they come in more colors.

RIP Beau Velasco

Rest in Peace, Beau Velasco. One of the founders of the band, The Death Set, has passed away. Its always sad to see people go. This band played at my school in Baltimore. Their exciting and energetic music made it hard for them to be disliked.

saturday night.

I want to hear this song every time I go out:

fur real.

Fur. Its warm, soft and classic. And before you go all PETA on my ass, know that I support buying used furs. Lets face it, the animal has already been slaughtered for it's coat. It is my feeling that NOT buying a used fur is in fact worse than not buying fur at all. All of these animals have been murdered and now, the sole purpose of their butchering will go to waste if someone doesn't buy that gorgeous vintage fur in the back of the thrift store. They're inexpensive, and are usually in pretty good condition. Plus they look and feel amazing. (If that's not justification for you, I don't know what is.)

Bedazzler

Bedazzler: yeah, you should probably have one.

NYU Girl Talk

Today the NYPost published an article describing NYU students' feelings toward Gossip Girl's move from UES private school to New York's monopolizing university. Sorry TYT's but what do you expect. After spending years worshiping Sex and the City, thousands of upper-middle class 18 year olds set their hearts on attending NYU so they could emulate Carrie's fantastic lifestyle. Now that they've all made it here, they're actually upset that New York City life isn't being portrayed realistically? Sex and the City fanatics, looks you've got some competition. You know you love me XOXO, Gossip Girl.

youre not fooling anyone.

If you are blonde, you do not have black eyelashes. Stop coating your eyeballs with clumpy black eyeliner. You are not fooling anyone. The raccoon look does not fly.

my latest obsession:

Every woman deserves a pair of serious ass kicking boots. In case you ever feel the need to stomp a bitch out or feel the need spend money on a pair of boots instead of self defense class, buy your self a pair of these. God knows what terrible neighborhood you live in. put these on, and no one, and i mean no one will fuck with you. any sort of leather/steel toed combination will do. Doc Martins are prime.

history lesson

In 1979, my father, the starving artist moved into a 7,300 sq. loft in Williamsburg Brooklyn. that beautiful space has now been split up into closet sized apartments for all those who are willing to sacrifice normal human necessities (enough shelter for one to stand under) for location. Why torture yourself by living in a box? Because its comforting to have another web designer/unemployed art school graduate as your neighbor. In terms of real estate (in NYC specifically), take what you can get.

this fucking hat.

If i see one more of you fuckers wearing this out of season garment i will light it on fire. These over-played, cheap looking head garments were once thought of as cool; A sort of 50-60's retro chic look. But now that Forever 21 has mass produced them for the likes of everyone, please don't add this woven mess to your ensemble. If you are desperate to wear a hat because you feel you look distinguished in such a piece, try a wool fedora or bowler and keep it simple and black. No flashy ribbons or feathers. You are not Robinhood.
