Piazza Sempione Fall/Winter 2011 Ready-to-Wear
A few of my favorite looks from Piazza Sempione’s fall/winter ready to wear collection. Love the muted neutral hues in the above three looks - rust, crimson, pumpkin, camel, the perfect fall color palette.
Also love the crazy black and white print in the pants below, like looking at New York City fly by from the backseat of a cab while tripping on acid.

Jeffrey Campbell | The Girls We Hated in High...
From the JC blog:
“For the girl who tried to drown you at summer camp. For that crazy chick that used to make out with all of your crushes. For that one time that she wrote a love letter to the big man on campus and signed it with your name. For every single time she talked trash about you to the football team. But most of all, for high school NO NAMES everywhere we give to you GIRLS...

Basso + Burke | Fall Winter 2011
New favorite fall pret-a-porter collection? Basso & Burke from February’s London Fashion Week. Organic yet architectural prints that manage to mix minimalism and a serenely natural landscape make up the basis of the collection which is comprised of structured pants and tops with some amazing, flowing dresses. There’s something about the prints that evokes camo but is much more...

South Congress Saturday
Photos from a Saturday spent around South Congress. Eric got back from NYC last night and to celebrate his return from the Big Apple we went to Hopdoddy to eat delicious burgers! I had the Bandito Burger, their veggie special, and Eric had the Buffalo Bill with bacon, cheddar and bbq sauce! It was divine!
After lunch we spent a couple of hours walking around and enjoying...

Assad Mounser | Spring Summer 2011
All of these gorgeous concoctions are creations of Assad Mounser.
His jewelry is favored by the indefatigable Lady Gaga whose daedal sartorial choices are known for being bizarre, innovative and at times terrifying, much like Mounser’s jewelry. These pieces range in price from $200-$990 (so, way way out of my price range) and combine metal, beads, animal skulls, studs, chains, and other...

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice!
I have to explain something to you. I am obsessed with Beetlejuice. Not in some nostalgic sense, mind you, because I didn’t watch Beetlejuice until I was 24 years old - in the past year. In fact, I hadn’t even heard of Beetlejuice until sometime in high school, at which point it all began:
“OH MY GOD, you’ve never seen Beetlejuice?” “YOU have to see...

Girls Gone Bald!
A few weeks ago I had a 90s double feature night involving The Craft and Empire Records (I know, it was pretty amazing). I didn’t realize it until I had begun to watch Empire Records, but both of these movies star 90s teen babe Robin Tunney, who shaves her head for her role as tortured goth girl Debra. Tunney, who by way looks gorgeous bald, joins an esteemed cast of leading ladies who have...

What to Wear: SXSW Film
The film portion of the festival takes place at a few spots around town - the Alamo Ritz, Alamo South Lamar, Paramount, and a couple of others. Film enthusiasts and Hollywood honchos split their time between the movie theaters, the Highball, and film parties.
Comfy shoes are a must, especially if you’re going to be going between places all day without much respite or a chance to switch them...

What to Wear: SXSWi
Interactive is the fastest growing branch of SXSW. Each year attendance jumps up another 40% as more and more start up companies, freelancers, and other techy types travel to the Violet Crown to check out panels, slurp free drinks, and tour the taco trailers.
Interactive has become my favorite part of SXSW in the past year or so — companies like Mashable, Google, Groupon, TechCrunch, Adobe,...

How to Survive SXSW
1. Get a Bike
Don’t even bother to try to drive anywhere in Austin during SXSW. The influx of out-of-towners who either drove here from Houston/Dallas or flew in from LA/NYC/overseas and rented cars will make you want to gouge your eyeballs out once you’ve been sitting in traffic on I-35 for an hour.
It’ll take you three times as long to get downtown as it usually does and...
