tune of the day .

people don't know zooey deschanel has such a sweet, odd and oh so lovely singing voice .

dress like a man, look like a lady.

just around the corner in every woman's mind - is a lovely dress, a wonderful suit, or entire costume which will make an enchanting new creature of her. _wilhela cushman

a beautiful alien in the rough .

so the 83rd year of the oscar's was kind of a snooze. i just think james franco is way too wonderfully awkward to appeal to such a massive audience and still be graciously understood. and is it just me or is halle berry so gorgeous every time you see her it hurts? a lot of expected and well-deserved awards. natalie portman for best actress. colin firth for best actor. inception for sound mixing, editing and visual effects. duh. the animated short films that were nominated made me so anxious to see them. they all look so charming and visually pleasing. i'd like to delve into some of those documentary features as well. and as for the best dressed? psshh i almost fell out of my chair in love with cate blanchett in givenchy. the yellow and purple beading, the cut of the shoulder, the pleated airiness of the chiffon, her hair, her icy blue eyes -- all identifying features of a beautiful alien in the rough. honorable mention goes to mandy moore in that beaded beauty of monique l'hullier. i crushed super hard on that invisible neckline and that delicate silhouette. lovely.

devil in a grey dress .

this is why i love italy's grey magazine. constance jablonski shot by chadwick tyler (spring/summer 2010) has this 'don't f*ck with me' look that's much harder to pull off than the pouty 'i'm so sexy' lips we see everywhere. here, her look is strong, bloodcurdling almost. this french model, or shall i say chameleon, can transform herself into whatever in such an unexpected way and has been in high demand by every fashion outlet you can think of. like housewives for louboutins-- editors, photogs & magazines are fighting tooth and nail for this chick - and for damn good reason .



oh tell me now where was my fault, in loving you with my whole heart .

their sound is insurmountable, beautifully bizarre, amazingly absurd - the gruff melancholy in lead singer marcus mumford's voice , the vibration of the banjo that winston marshall plucks so lovingly. mumford and sons came from a london universe that you just want to fall into, like some trippy tim burton western. even seeing them on the grammy's - they just seem so damn cool and mysterious. can't get enough.

i'm back like shoulder pads.. with mad detail & sh*t .

oh, the reclamation of fashion. here's a trend we believed was as dead as the scrunchie (ahem, shout out to a certain miss sjp, or shall i say patricia field, for taking chances). well, nearly three decades later shoulder pads have climbed out of their foamy graves and been restored to their former glory. reincarnated and warped, we embrace our mother's old friend with that ravenous consumerist look in our eye. we are all suckers - slaves of fashion's endless rejuvenation. embrace it.. and try to keep some of your clothes for your offspring . 


diary of a mad black woman .

black history month. vogue italia february issue. 'black allure' by emma summerton. a strong opinion-inducing piece. many things to say, but i shall hold my tongue and simply appreciate women of color being in vogue period... LOOK AT HER. chanel iman, you're an immortal goddess .

what's ironic? um.. when you realize the like, component of weirdness in a situation .

                                            
just a few tumblr weeds.


lusty springy things .

yaaay spring sluggishly approaches! and as i brush the last of this bitter cold winter off my fur-lined boots i can only look forward to two things: 
1. going outside showing a bit of leg with not a scarf or coat in sight.
2. flowers ! the smell of lilies in the morning makes paige a happy bunny. hear hear ..
