Tim Walker Photography

W Magazine 2010
I was just looking at W Magazine. com and came across the very intriguing photographer Tim Walker. His work is very interesting as he mixes high fashion with fantasy-like scenearios--very avant garde. Take a look:

Roberto Cavalli RTW 2011



Below are my favorite pieces of the collection







Roberto Cavalli's Ready to Wear Spring 2011 rockstar glam collection is just plain breathtaking. The intricately cut-out clothing seems to drip off the models bodies in beautiful fringes and snake skins, It is clear that the 1970's, Pocahontas, and bohemian styles and cuts have influence this collection. The flow of the dresses and fringes is just beautiful. I would love to wear these items!

Fall Romance







I am so in love with Haider Ackermann's fall 2010 collection. I love the structured leather with large collars and strong shoulders

"celebrity" sighting

Last night while walking up Market Street I saw Anthony Williams
 from Project Runway season 7 walking around with a little entourage. It's fun to see a celebrity even if its just in passing.

Shoe love

I'm drooling over these shoes! They are the Aldo Withey platform pump. I'm going to see if the Aldo store in SF is carrying these next week so I can try them on.

Fall Fever

Fall FeverI am in love with all things cape, fur, shearling, and large collared for fall. Even though I don't really appreciate cold weather, I do love the layering opportunities that fall and winter offer our wardrobes. I love when I get to whip out my scarves, jackets, gloves, faux fur, and my cape I got as a gift last year from my friend Ruby. Here is a picture of it. I am with my Gramps (great grandpa in the photo).

Angry

I was doing some online browsing and came upon this cardigan that I really like from Forever 21 but I cannot get over how this model looks. She looks so pissed off. Someone needs to give her a giant milkshake and a trip to Disneyland

Of starbucks cigarettes and first days

So, today was my first day back to school after a wonderful 3 weeks of vacation. I had to be in S.F. by about 8:15 am so I woke up at 5 am, which is no freaking walk in the park, especially given the fact that I did not wake up before 10:30 a.m. almost all of vacation. I of course diligently lugged my tired self out of my warm and comfy bed and eventually dragged myself bleary eyed onto BART. Disclaimer: now I am going to complain about BART. A few weeks ago there was a short news feature on abc about the noise on bart. Now, if any of you are familiar with bart (which I know some of you are) you will understand this next sentiment quite well: the sound of the bart train is akin to nails being scratched along a chalkboard [for 50 freaking minutes] or blood curdling screams from an infant who needs a diaper change, food, and a nap! My complaints about bart compelled me to write the terrible following poem:


Loathe to BART
I wonder how I tolerate your blood thinning epithets each morning,
how I manage to fall asleep to your first soprano squeals
that accompany your fart scented perfume
Weirdos seem to cling to you like flies on sticky paper
and here I sit...hoping that tomorrow I sprout wings


Ok I am done complaining about bart (for today that is)


Now I will move on to talking about ridiculous Starbucks packaging. Today I had the privilege of wandering over to the Starbucks on Market St. with my friend Kris. Whilst waiting for my decaf soy pumpkin spice latte I took a gander at their chalk board. Now, Starbucks is doing this new instant coffee that comes in individual sized packages. This is the packaging:
What does this look like to you?!
A cigarette, right?! Really Starbucks? Could you not package this any different? Way to make your product look that much less appealing to consumers who do not appreciate smoking...I mean come on! This is coffee! I mean, I know it is addicting and that smoking is also addicting but really now? I am disgusted. The end.

Oh and at a later date I will provide more information about my current class load for this quarter. But just to wet your appetite these are my courses:
Technology for Buying: teacher has a super dry sense of humor. I feel like I am in an episode of Seinfeld
Applied Trend Forecasting: same teacher as last quarter. Love that class!
Merchandise Strategies: teacher is very classy. She looks like Julie Andrews circa Princes Diaries.
Monday I have my remaining classes which are: Applied Merchandise Buying and Textile Science.

Buckles for winter!


Fun friends

I just had to share this image of my fabulously fun friends at Target. They found the very amusing dollar section and as you can see, were quite amused with the hand puppets. Love you ladies!
