Corks and Caftans

I’m in one of those frenzies where I get so overcome by a photo (or, in this case, eleventy-seven-hundred photos) that I want to throw away everything I own that doesn’t feel like some iteration of the look. I’m rarely interested in couture or runway anymore, but this is pretty much everything—minus a pair of [...]

[Maeve stained glass skirt from Anthro + vintage Army t-shirt from VintageTrends.com + Club Monaco hoops (ShopBop) + Motif 99 cuff (ShopBop) + Vanessa Mooney rings and bracelets.] I have started and stopped writing this post so many times over the last 3 months. I’ve written the lines in my head in the shower in [...]

[Daughters of the Liberation jacket + Moyna sequined vest + AG legging jeans + Sam Edelman boots + Sam & Lavi blouse + Anthro feather necklace + Dannijo bag. Most important is the beer: the beer is Saison DuPont. Write that down.] Took my number one dude down to the river for a pre-birthday dinner [...]

[Fringe + a sleek cuff and a snake ring. Sho 'nuff.] I’ve revisited my post about Karen from Californication’s style numerous times over the years, and figured it was time to issue a solid follow-up. Expect to see some mimicry of these looks to follow; my copycatting does not limit itself to skinny frontmen. There’s a relaxed, [...]

[Current/Elliott jeans + HTC belt + Truly Madly Deeply tank + Free People kimono + Vanessa Mooney jams.] The other day Rob and I were pouring beers in the kitchen, watching a series of vids from the new KOL documentary, Talihina Sky. Rob—who plays guitar and sings better than he’ll ever give himself credit for—loves [...]

[Sam and Lavi neon button-up + Current/Elliott elephant bells + Vanessa Mooney turquoise & wood bead necklace.] The best neon. Most popular. Best couple (with turquoise). The best drape. Renaissance woman.

[My first The Shirt by Rochelle Behrens. I get the deal now.] There are a lot of questions you have to ask yourself concerning the issue of gainful employment. Lots of stress. For some of us, there’s some soul searching, too. “I feel like… when I was out there, I had my shit figured out, you [...]

[Antique turquoise squash blossom necklace + Lillia's Closet robe + a rare stress-free moment.] I was raised up believing I was somehow unique / Like a snowflake distinct among snowflakes / Unique in each way you can see. And now, after some thinking / I’d say I’d rather be a functioning cog in some great machinery / [...]

[Theodora & Callum caftan via Shopbop + Sam Edelman fringed boots + antique Moroccan pendant via Free People.] A bit of a stretch here, but that’s why I dig a good homage. I’ve been saving this pic of His Chrisness because I love this (probably fragrant) jacket and want to rip it from his scrappy [...]

[An epic track. Sir Alistair Raj scarf + Shopbop hat.] Apologies in advance I haven’t been able to located a 10-gallon hat, but you can see him do it better than I ever could. I want all of these get-ups:

[This is what it's all about: JCrew tie, tux shirt + vintage squash blossom necklace + Marc Jacobs blazer + Current/Elliott jeans.] Like a solid gold soul song that never gets old. Remixed. He’s just totally authentic, and I think that’s what I’ve always dug the most about him. To those who have noted I [...]

[Day 4 in a sell-out tie dye shirt I didn't steal from an old boyfriend, but in fact bought from Urban Outfitters. This cannot be helped; Daydreamer LA's stuff is so so soft.] A two-fer! Nothing much to see here, just some loose recreations—on a lighter note, if you will.
