i can see me in your eyes

A D U M B R A T I O N means to foreshadow. To remember and forsee at the same time.

the prettiest pony

today is my dearest lindsay's birthday! i'm so fortunate to have her as one of my closest and bestest friends. she's incredibly talented and creative in so many ways - it's really quite remarkable. i don't think lindsay is someone that you can describe easily because there is so much that makes up her unique being, but lindsay is most definitely elegance, beauty, and magic wrapped up in the biggest heart (most likely dressed in chanel/a.wang/a.herchcovitch). here's to you L J! happy birthday ma cherie! <3

p.s. check out her blog http://lindsayjonesdiamondbones.blogspot.com/

FÖK Portrait Series with Yvan Rodic/Facehunter from The 88 on Vimeo.

i don't normally post about projects that i work on but i love the way this video turned out (dir. Jenna Elizabeth) - Yvan is an incredible photographer that we met a few fashion weeks ago who has become a delight to have every time he comes to town. im highly anticipating the NY + Paris adventures come fall for spring fashion week. magique! but for now, hello summer! you've proven to be quite enticing thus far.

i still think about him every day

can you call me when we're almost halfway? will you wake me when we're almost halfway?

coco coco rosie

i forget how much i love coco rosie sometimes. this video is super rad. particularly the grandma in the boudoir room with the corn field towards the end. love! x

repetez s'il vous plait

i've continued to watch this film over and over and over again, even though i can't find it with subtitles. have i already posted about this? hmm ... regardless, it's incredibly beautiful, young love at it's best. their chemistry is unreal...

summer is here in nyc i believe, pretty exciting to say the least. let's all fall in love again! but perhaps only for the summer ...

the gabriel club

the mold continues to grow under my skin.
it is black in colour, i think, though i cannot be certain.

i slit my wrist once and peeled back the skin but all i could find was fire.

i look at my eyes in the mirror. there's mold behind them as well.
the mold's entered my eyes as well.

it's just like passion.

it's just like when a man looks at a woman - a mere glance, no more than that - and realizes that his flesh is on fire ..

it's just like when a man looks at a woman.

you will never be a man, she said.

--- excerpt from "The Gabriel Club" by Joydeep Roy-Bhattacharya

when you were mine, you used to let me wear all of your clothes

oh and yes, i'll take both please

the lil guy posted up against the corner of that wall and the beautiful red head. je les adore ...

deep in the mist

i've been gone for awhile, lost in many layers - back and forth between here and there. i hope to get back into the swing of things shortly ... a lot has happened it seems; last week feels like a month ago.

jj has pretty much been on constant rotation for the past few weeks and this new one by cults is a lovely break into spring. oh my how things get intense when the weather changes.

im off to tokyo for a week on monday, will post many grand things upon my return ... to whomever is actually paying attention to this blog. x.

how to tell the future with animals

secrets make friends

ADYTUM is what the Greeks called a secret hiding place. I am sitting under a huge pine in the ravine. There is a smell of sap and the branches dip down to the ground on all sides, casting long dark shadows.

The light falling through the needles is the light of daydreams. If secrets had color they would probably be this same deep marine, shot through with visionary gleams.

"Not all sunshine," he says, and then runs his thumb in a gentle stroke along the arch of my eyebrow. He's the kind of person who would know the technical reasons for a rainbow, the square roots of peculiar numbers, how to gather water from the cupped leaves of island plants. Someone you'd like to have with you on a lifeboat.

we're gathered here in reverence

except it's opposites day.

i walked in on a plan to dissolve all of your wishes

but i couldn’t help your mouth which i missed by just two inches

maybe i thought that you and i could run away alongside

but i didn’t understand i was a cold tear in your eye

it's just that the other person involved simply can't see the forest for the trees

when i'm with you, i have fun

im ready for spring/summer in a major way. new boys, new love, new dresses, new hugs, champagne, lazy days in the park, coming home at sunrise, mint ice tea . . all of it.

my grandma and your grandma, were sittin' by the fire

my grandma told your grandma, im gonna set your flag on fire

that's when i realized, i would never hear from him again.

where can we go when the lights are low . .

oh, to be in love. this song is overly sweet but i love how it's orchestrated. x

i'll be right back . . .

fashion week is in full effect, busy bee - updates soon! x

la femme, la beaute

quelle journee

i'm so tired . . . it's not even 8pm and i want to go to bed. today was overwhelming. i had a serious breakdown meltdown freakout before noon. first day of fashion week - bright and early i woke up to film "dinner with the band" featuring Rufus Wainwright for IFC. that was interesting enough but on my walk back, i found out that a photo shoot ive been working on had been cancelled, i also didnt get a position that i had been waiting to hear back from AND the worst news of all . . . Alexander McQueen died. this is so devastating and truly a tremendous loss - what a creative being . . . so sad. i tried to write something about this when i first found out, but i couldn't find the words - i still can't. he will be remembered fondly and deeply missed. there are very few designers of his generation that are even close to as avant garde as he was ..... so sad. spring 2008 was one of my most favorites of his collections (below). i also strangely became quite fond and intrigued by his hoof shoes from last season. Poor Alexander . . . you never really know just how much someone else is suffering. RIP. x

ma cherie, parfait

tout a fait charmant

bastien bonizec, what a DREAM BOAT. i love redheads.

underlined

"that is the basic problem. you're waiting for me, im not there. i arrive. i enter the room. that's when i really start to exist to you, but i existed before that. i had thoughts. i may have been suffering. so the problem is to show you alive, thinking of me - and at the same time, to see me alive by virtue of that very fact."

awake but dreaming of paris

there's nothing worse than seeing a small dark figure move across your room in the dark

on a cloud, in a dream

handsome sartorial boys like these are a dime a dozen on style blogs - i live in NY . . why don't i ever see them? maybe they'll fly in for fashion week, or perhaps we should move to london.

"You said Mickey Mouse was a Fascist"

i absolutely loved this film. a slightly dark comedy about class and politics, set in early 1970's paris - the story is seen and told through the eyes of a feisty, adorably witty little parisian girl.

stokholm syndrome

well, not really - but this summer i will venture to sweden for a week or so to visit one my best friends while she studies abroad. i'll also get to catch up with the two lovelies below, carl + evelina - i can't wait! they both look so beautiful in these pictures, i love it. carl is a wonderful photographer. check out his site : www.carlkleiner.com

it's too late to say you're sorry

you were always on my mind

i just can't get over this show, i love it so much - the color palette, the tulle. . . because of the state of our current economy, they made this collection primarily out of leftovers from from their over sized ball gowns. pure genius.
