cloisters

[I almost forgot these photos!]

Dreaming of better days and time spent at the Met and the Cloisters.

Notice the absence of my belt after a few snapshots... I obviously have a short attention span to keeping my clothes put together.

WHY is it 90+ degrees here in California? I thought it was October... ten days from today a year ago, we had a surprise snow storm in NY. Now I'm here on the west melting.

Not good for Mother Earth

* btw: I highly recommend visiting the Cloisters up in the Bronx. You forget that Manhattan exists around it! + it's free with your met ticket/button

& I'm baaaaack!

Well, sort of...

I got some sort of an internet connection, and thought I'd put up a really quick outfit post before I lose it.

Since I'm hopping around everywhere and trying to find a new place to live, my current wardrobe has dwindled down to white tee, denim shorts and flat footwear. To some (not me), it seems mundane... so I will spare you the current 'look.' 

So, while I wait for things to ship over here and I find a habitat, here's an outfit I wore on one of the hottest days in NY EVER. I remember, I had a gelato at Lincoln Center and by the time I walked 20 feet over to sit and enjoy it, half of it was soup. Plus, I have the searing sunburn in memory of this day. 

Anyway, enough of my complaining, and watch me under the blazing sun, as I justify wearing a bikini top as a viable piece of undergarment and silk drop crotch shorts (that I like to call my diaper poopie pants rather than a harem)!

p.s. Aran's last post of the hats, really really wants me to wear a hat with crazy hair. Mental note for future post!

extra on the side, please

It's that time of the year: COUTURE COUTURE COUTURE!

which means conceptual becomes reality and there's tons of pretty to look at.

I think we all know that on the side of the shows themselves, the street style is a spectacle all on its own. Most of these were from the Paris Haute Couture shows (these were just a handful from the many we found), and stay tuned for our favorite picks from the runway from the fancy fancy.

note: Miroslava Duma looks pretty damn amazing every time. Plus the rottweiler & the tall boots (Givenchy)... Lust - Every girl needs a pair a boots that resembles perpetual bell bottoms and Megaman all together!

Just a quick outfit detail from last night from Lincoln Center/the Empire Hotel. 

I didn't take many photographs since I was more focused on having a good time. I spent part of the night on the rooftop of the Empire Hotel at the 'Liberty Belle Spectacular' which was a vintage themed party (I just wanted to be comfortable in the heat hence the shorts and top). It was SUPER packed and hot! I enjoyed some great jazz & people watching in all their outfits! Then the other part was spent lying out in Lincoln Center, followed by some late night Thai food. 

Hope everyone enjoyed their Fourth of July (in the US)!

I was at an artist & craftsmen fair at Lincoln Center a couple weekends back when these photos were taken. It was a lovely walk while listening to a violinist play and seeing all the wonderful works these men and women display. 

I'm not much of a normal blazer and collared shirt wearer. If it's a blazer, I wear it with a tee (the fanciest I'll go is an old band tee or something that resembles lingerie). And if it's a collared shirt it's either worn by itself in numerous ways or around my waist. I, on the other hand, enjoy play real-life dress up so I thought why not just wear something "not me." 

Plus, I love patches! If you can't tell by my previous post and my elbows and shorts... and every single button is mismatched.

I absolutely LOOOVE the little stitched fabric detail underneath the collar of little scotties in red and white, and they echo it in the lining! - swoon -
