there's a fire inside this heart and a riot about to explode into flames

Christian Dior's Haute Couture Spring 2011 Collection

John Galliano, I salute you.

Dear God, please cast me in a John Galliano directed femme fatale murder mystery.

I have never wanted to be a movie star more than after viewing this collection.
A stunning René Gruau inspired collection.

This is exactly what I would want to wear if I murder my lover. Naturally.

Rodarte teams up with Knoll to bring us some seriously swoon worthy textiles.

"steve and i found these awesome works of art at an "antique mall" yesterday in kimberling city, missouri - near branson. this is probably the coolest thing i have ever purchased anytime, anywhere. (we are framing these and putting them in our bar, fyi.)"

then....these pictures appeared.

They are also filming a live performance for JBTV, which I am heading over to.
Did I tell you I joined their team??
I did! You should watch their show online. Dooo it!
JBTV is Chicago´s longest-running, most respected local TV show dedicated to music lovers and is a byproduct of what goes on in the JBTV music video production house.
JBTV studios offer the ONLY total-environment rock and roll music video production house with a TV show that has been running for 25 years.

Breedlove is opening for SPW.... yes!

I've been wanting to blog about summer shoes I have been eyeing for a while now, but seeing as it is my Mancentric weekend, I have decided to post about sneeks.

No longer do I have to covet my Jimmy Choos or Christian Louboutins alone. Men's designer sneakers are growing rapidly. Lanvin, Louis Vuitton, Prada, Louboutin, Jimmy Choo.

Louboutin makes these for women too. I think the boytoy and I should get matching pairs!

A Kanye + LV partnership

Okay, so not everyone can afford the pre-fall 2010 Jimmy Choo collection or bid out $2,000 on ebay for some LV's. Below are some cheaper options.

If you build it, they will be happy...

okay, here's the deal....

my parents are coming to visit this weekend and as soon as they walk through my front door, my dad is gonna give me shit because i haven't made use of my vintage Singer that i begged for a couple years back. turns out i'm not the sartorial that i had envisioned. it's hard. and i probably need to take some lessons.

but, to prep for the inevitable comments that will be made about my lack of productivity, i have prepared a response.

'mom...dad....i realize that my lackadaisical approach to sewing has been an insult, not only towards your kindness in providing me with a beautiful machine, but to my machine itself. turns out guys, that Built by Wendy has a new collection coming out on February 22nd that has renewed my interest. i am going to dig out my Built By You Patterns (i own all of them) and take another stab at it!"

Seriously though, Wendy's new collection is great.

I'm defiantely going to be dusting off the old machine.

fashion will never be the same.
