Corks and Caftans

[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 [...]

[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 [...]

[AG Legging jean + Sam Edelman Luella OTK fringed boots + Free People Keep Me tee, maybe the best thing ever stitched and sewn on earth + Vanessa Mooney Eeva Necklace + Made with Love bracelets, vintage turquoise, Billy Kirk cuff, etc.] Well, your CD collection looks shiny and costly… how much did you pay [...]

As if you already didn’t know there was something sort of wrong with me, my style icon is, in fact, most definitely a dude. Aside from Karen from Californication [that post, incidentally, gets more hits than any other post on C+C, and her character is pretty much a female version of Chris, what with the scrappy [...]

[Staring at Stars fringed tank + jacket, Free People shorts + Luv AJ sheet metal cuff/anklet + Shaashi necklace + vintage turquoise.] The brilliant David Gahan of Depeche Mode once said: “I still hold on to the idea that a record can really change the way I feel.” If that’s true—and I believe it is—I probably [...]

[80/20 shoes + Free People One pants + Linea Pelle belt + Bailey t-shirt + Club Monaco necklace + FP cuff + Made with Love in Brazil bracelets.]

[Hell Dragon, by Black Girls.] You gotta check out this RVA band we saw at Balliceaux the other night. So upbeat and bad-daz. We shook it with the hipsters and drank PBRs until the wee hours, then ducked into the sleet to hit up 3rd Street Diner for some late night breakfast. And chicken fingers. [...]

Visited the Bo at the ‘office’ today to bring him some lunch and ended up paying for a pour. (Or two.) Dig my new Free People kimono: perfect for trips to Kroger for multiple boxes of Peanut Butter Cap’n Crunch (my own holiday tradition), rainy day molding about, and fostering ambiguity about whether or not [...]

[Staring at Stars t-shirt and bra, Urban Outfitters + Free People shorts + Sam Edelman booties + Dannijo purse + Low Luv pendant.] My father wasn’t a big man. He was only inches taller than my mother—scrawny, almost, but strong—with hair that was always a little too long, unless it had just been cut, in [...]

[Citrine by the Stones tasseled bead bracelet + Citrine by the Stones Rosary Tassel earrings, both courtesy CBTS + Vintage t-shirt, Wodehouse family heirloom + Free People shorts via shopbop + J.Crew ikat belt + Jessica Simpson Dany platforms + J.Crew Panama hat + YSL, Erin Wasson, etc. rings.] I’ve given Northeast natives and their [...]

Got Julia’s email about the May Free People catalogue shot in Hawaii and had to post some of my favorites. The video for the shoot is pretty sweet—I especially like when the one model gets totally hosed by that wave on the beach. She must be from Indiana or something. My only criticism would be they [...]
