Up and Atom

I'm getting ahead of myself.... ET must phone home first

but afterwards?!

Holla at me if you're in & when (december?)

On a side note, how much did Transformers

kinda suck as an action movie?! Too

many stupid wisecracks & not enough

action. Just took forever to get going.

Also, why does M. Bay have to use the

exact same music in every movie??

Connelly

Am no fan of Jennifer's but she does take chances in her fashion.

Major kudos for being the first out of the gate with Balenciaga Spring/Summer 2008.

Colour looks amazing with her complexion and I know she's going to get tons of shit for wearing this.

It would have been better if she wore the sandals in their full gladiator glory.

I Love Tom Ford

"It was meant to be a play on the new [fragrance] campaign," Ford says—ads are running in magazines on newsstands now that show a bottle of his juice strategically placed in front of a woman's crotch, barely obscuring the holiest of holies. "But there's a double standard with featuring female nudity and featuring male nudity," Ford adds. "When people say to me, 'Well, you objectify women,' [I say] I'm an equal opportunity objectifier. We had a lot of magazines reject the female version [of the campaign], so the male version is going to get rejected even more."

I completely believe that keeping yourself covered adds mystery and allure, but in today's internet-ready, stalkerazzi-friendly society nothing is sacred. Flashing a boob is pretty standard and with all those little starlets running around without underwear... well you get the point.

The female form is such an artistic standard that even us up-tight North Americans have accepted its' prevalence in mainstream culture and to show it in all it glory is hardly subversive anymore. The exposure of the male form, however, has not enjoyed such a North American liberation. A penis is an automatic NC-17. I guess that's what you get when society has been and continues to be run by a bunch of out-of-touch misogynistic afraid-of-the-gay born-again neo-cons.

Axl

A penchant for wearing t-shirts with images of Charles Manson or Christ, denim cut-off short shorts, tight-ass leather pants, NWA caps, kilts, flannel, a catchers breast-protector... it feels so wrong to think of this man as a style icon (of the 80's&90's), but it just seemed like he didnt really give a f*%! and I have to admire that.

Milan this season has been dull. Full of the same-old and a lot of recycled '70s references. Prada even left me scratching my head. Burberry was a lone bright spot. Versace was beautiful and quite paried down (for donatella) but the same sleek, loaded sexuality seen every season.

Dolce & Gabbana didn't look to the capri/ibiza/boxy-minimalist crib sheet. They were able to reference their past collection and yet make room for new expression. Sure there was that see-through, shifting silhouette (like at jill sander) and the painter/brushstroke artists look has been explored before but this collection stood out. The shrunken portfolio inspired handbags, the booties, the colours, the shapes, the exquisit fabrics... I loved it all.

they're so freakin' cute together (and just plain HOT&SPICY seperate)

H&M Fun!

$25 (leggings) + $29 (sweater) + skirt ($14) = endless fun
I saw the leggings and I immediately thought of my friend so I decided to try and find an outfit to highlight them so that I could take these photos of myself.

I found a louder sweater (I actually considered purchasing the one I have on) in the men's section but couldn't be bothered to try the insane change room line-up again. The leggings are pretty fun but I'm just not a legging person and at $25 a pop they are a bit on the expensive side for wearing under my pants in the winter.

On a different note, H&M is currently promoting 'wearable art' in the form of t-shirts with illustrations from 5 up-and-coming swedish illustrators. I found one I like and think I might go back for it.

A must read for any Wes Anderson fan (and even if you aren't)

Something Old

I may have quickly gotten over the Murakami LV prints introduced in 2003(due to the bazillions of knock-offs; the multi-coloured print on white is still going strong at knock-off stalls and on the arms of pretty little things 4 years on) but it didn't really affect my love of all other things Murakami. This video reminds me why I loved (and still do love) the superflat movement.

And now, off to seek new adventures...

Arts and crafts my way.

Thakoon Three Ways

Paid the G-A-P a little visit to check out the wide leg jeans (no sizes in the style I liked) and ended up with a Medium sized Thakoon designed (for the CFDAs) white dress shirt.

Regularily retailing between $110-$120, it was on sale for $15.99

I admit that this shirt can be worn more than three ways and that all the ways I have displayed below are just variations on a theme. The medium sizing (i'm normally a small) leaves a bit too much material and makes wearing the shirt the way it is mean to be worn (as demonstrated above by Ms. Kass with the designer himself) a little challenging. I did make a minor adjustment to the shirt; sewing a small button to the end of one of the detachable ties (normally buttoned to either side of the collar) so that I could attach them together to use as a waist belt.

KLN

So the Karl Lagerfeld collection at Mendocino is a bit lackluster.

I have to admit my favorites of his current collections are Chanel (of course) and Fendi (trendy and chic but a bit too much fur for my taste). The collections that bear his name, Lagerfeld Gallery and the new Karl Lagerfeld are a bit too close to his personal asthetic/style, and while this looks ridiculously chic on the Monsieur, I don't think it translates as well on us common folk.

Or maybe it translates too well and that bores me....

However, how much do I want one of those white and black Karl print t-shirts?!

(on mannequin left of the centre- and being horribly obscured by a black cropped jacket) The tri-coloured prints are nice too but not as stand-out-ish and it is my belief that if you are going to wear Karl Lagerfeld's face, front and centre on your person, it should be bold yet minimalistically so. No distractions, just pure KL.

It is an essential in the wardrobe of a card carrying KLN member (such as myself).
