DARK ENTRIES

(Open dress - Pleasure Principle / Blazer - Zara / Leather leggings - Audrey Cantwell / Bootstraps - Zana Bayne / Boots - Veronique Branquinho)

Rainy day at work. Testing my skeletal bootstraps for the second time on my boots - success! Thoughts of extending the strap so it goes up the leg to mid calf; thoughts?

JUXTAPOSITION

(Draped Top - Pleasure Principle / Sheer Tank - American Vintage / Trousers - Jodi Arnold / Monster Shoes - Jeffrey Campbell)

Day 1 of wearing my monster wedges: So far, the shoes' zippers have eaten the back of my ankles (to be expected from initial wear until they stretch out a bit), and I almost ate shit walking to work after the shoe caught on some uneven sidewalk. I guess 5" platforms distort depth perception a bit...but the positives truly outweigh any of those minor complaints. I will reiterate, they are EXTREMELY comfortable.

Today I decided to contrast the extremity of the shoes' appearance by dressing down the rest of what I wore. I love the combination of pleated trousers with insane heels, and the draped Pleasure Principle top makes everything better!

AND IN OTHER NEWS 2 interviews that I did just went up this week - if you're not already sick of my blah blah and opinions, check these out:

Thought I'd share this precious moment from GAG! with the ever so lovely Michael Magnan

TYE DIE DIE DIE

Today I am wearing tie dye. Not just any tie dye, but harsh starburst galaxy-esque tie die engineered by my favorite NY line Pleasure Principle. They have managed to take a usually playful print and turn it sinister - just the way I like it. A lot of the time people ask me why I only wear black, and honestly that's not my defining rule - its just hard for me to find pieces that are both colorful and have a cut that I like. At the same time when it comes to prints, I have to equally like the textile design as well as the garment it is printed upon! This dress passes both of those requirements, so yes - I guess I will be a summer gothic hippie, and enjoying myself the entire time.

IT'S RAINING MEN

(666 Hat by Chris Habana)

Who remembers my Halloween post? Well this is pretty much in the same vain - another evil, explosive night at GAG! The following photos are from Saturday night, where my roommate Cameron's party (GAG!) celebrated a 666 themed 6th year anniversary. To summarize things, there was a t-shirt give away, most scandalous photobooth strip competition, lots of drinking, and men for days!

Naturally, I had to wear something a little bit...finessed. Welcome my skeleton body suit from a Halloween store circa 2004 - I don't think I've worn it since then either! Cameron opted for his simple yet effective Margiela one legged leggings.
