(not so) lonely

lonely by lonely hearts collection II

lingerie done right

i think that lingerie like this is infinitely sexier than the typical victoria's secret look. sadly, this look is reserved for those who are, shall we say, "less endowed"? not that i'm knocking the smaller chest. believe me, i envy them. the grass is always greener i suppose.

anyways-- enough of the boob talk. as much as some people may wish this is not a female anatomy discussion blog. oh, if only. the lonely hearts line is feminine without being overly girly. the line between feminine and girly is always a hard one to toe. the soft and airy fabrics with tastefully underplayed ruffles are the epitome of bedroom chic. my personal favorite are the cutouts. avoiding the often trashy direction of cutouts in lingerie these are done so well that it almost begs to be worn under a sheer top to show off the interesting lines of the pieces. well done-- well done, indeed.

and this time it's not australian... uh oh, new zealand!

too hip

photo series "the original hipster" by julia chesky

she says:

“Our lovely model, Chris, has lived on Mercer Street for a few decades by choice. I’m calling this series The Original Hipster because on most days he doesn’t even look like he’s truly homeless."

notice that he's such a hipster that he is homeless by choice. chris looks like a good sport. so this is what all the kids i went to college with are going to look like in 20 years. or maybe only next year...

stealing

stolen girlfriends club summer 2010/11 lookbook

more australian goodness. is this turning into an aussie fashion blog? kind of. i'm okay with that.

i'm usually kind of on the fence about stolen girlfriends club. i enjoy their things, but this collection is definitely my favorite of theirs lately. it's also like they read my mind regarding the color palette. peach has been a color that i'm gravitating to a lot lately. i mean, a girl can't wear black all the time.

things that i'm thinking about (other than becoming employed)

all for the mountain shoulder pad necklace

heide hiker platform

jeffrey campbell gum wedge

queen's wardrobe mocha blouse

but let's be honest... i'm mostly thinking about that tiger.

wings

i want this for a halloween costume. what would i be? i don't know. fantastic? is that a good enough answer?

sadly the $500 price tag is gives "fantastic" a whole other meaning.

golden

behold-- my answer to boring office wear:

rescued from a truly horrible outlet mall. don't get me wrong, outlet malls are one of the greatest things on this earth (perhaps a slight exaggeration), but this place... i shudder just thinking about it...

short

pre-order item from urban outfitters.

the hard part with pretty much anything leather is that if it's not juuuuust right it can look so wrong, but done right there's pretty much nothing better (well, according to me). too tight and you look like a skank, too loose and it's just bizarre, too much and you look like a dominatrix, etc etc. these shorts take a preppy, feminine, classic shape and use leather to give it a new twist. leather trouser shorts. yes please.
