New addition

I just received this leather jacket from GILT and I have to say I love it. It is form Tim Hamilton's S/S 2008 collection. The best part of it is, it retailed for close to $3000 and I got it for $260. I will try to get actual pics up later.

I have so many ideas of things I want to make. I guess I need get them on paper and actually try and make them.

S/S 2009 Wish List

Since I am pretty set on what I am going to *try to aquire and make for the rest of the winter, I am now thinking about how I want to look this spring.

*After looking at different collections and running ideas through my head, I always come back tailoring and suiting. For some reason I really like the idea of haveing a really tailored sleek suit.*

1.) Since my birthday is in April and I plan on interning, I need a suit. Something slim, charcoal, grey or navy.

2.) A pair of YSL Eton boots

3.) Wide leg trousers(ex: Veronique Branquino) & slim trousers

4.) A pair simple cap toes

5.) Perfect black jeans or trousers--> Probably a pair of Somet's

6.)I plan on making something like a cross between these Rick Owens and Damir Doma shorts

And some other stuff I'm sure will pop up along the way

This reminds I need to hit up the thrift stores; I would go today, but is going to 15 degrees. FUCK THAT!!!! I can wait.

Thierry Mugler

Right now I am sort of stuck on a 1980s and 1990s fashion. Hopefully I will have a few installments talking about my favorites from the era.

Lately I have been obsessed with Thierry Mugler. He brought fetish fashion to the mainstream and pretty much set the bar for many designers to follow in his footsteps and borrow(*rip-off) his designs. Enough talking, lets just enjoy.

2009

So I have been neglecting this blog and I guess it is really for me. I would be happy if someone actually read it, but is not the end of the world if no one does. I will hopefully try to post some D.I.Y.s however (un)successful they are

This first half of the year I really want to build a solid wardobe of nice clean and unique basics(oxymoron) , but also some unique and orginal pieces. We'll see what my bank account permits me to by. Got to keep my eyes peeled.
