a basket case

ok. so this post might have a double meaning. maybe. like, say, that one of my favorite characters from a movie so titular to my growing up that I couldn't not. (just so you know, it's the breakfast club). and it could also possibly be about me wanting to purchase this kind of basket-weaved bag and purse, immediately, see. maybe just maybe ... photo: impression

gerwig and the 20th century flick

i have been not-so-mildly-obsessed with miss greta gerwig in basically every movie i have ever seen her in. (not to forget to mention her current hair cut. oh. my. gawd.) like, completely and totally. so, of course that also means that i now have to see her and my other cinema crush, miss annette bening, in twentieth century women. clearly + obvi. pics: vanity fair

got silk?

i've always pretty much shied away from anything in the yellow color family. not that i don't love it on practically everyone else i see (i couldn't mean that more literally. seriously.) it's just up against my pale almost clear skin, it can make me look a bit sallow and sick. but that doesn't stop me from (still) wanting to wear the sh*t out of it.  photo: vogue

gettin' hippie with it

acne, acne, acne. this look is so hippie chic i can barely type speak. and i don't think i've ever wanted a head-to-toe ensemble to my wardrobe more desperately in my whole entire 36 almost 37 years of life. the jacket, the floral-y pants, the socks with sandals. all. of. it. and it totally and def makes me wanna get all sorts of hippie with it. pic: vogue dot com

high tassel

or the woman in the high tassel to be more specific and precise. and equally as nice if you just look to these pretty pretty silver + gold tasselies. i mean, seriously. i'm pretty sure there's not an outfit on this planet that they wouldn't go or look supremely perfect with. feel my gist and sartorially accessorized drift? oh i know you do -- yes, yes, yes. image: mr. larkin

gucci gucci coo

yep, still gucci obsessed. but with (very) good reason. seeing how i'm in full vintage hat selling season over in my depop shop. yup. and once all my current pretty little pieces sell out, i'm gonna need a new photoshoot session and i'm going to deck my model out in nothing but what looks like anything and everything gucci. and i know you feel me. photo: nytimes

yellow jacket

there isn't one gosh darn thing in this rochas pre-fall 2017 collection that i don't want and/or need in my closet. like, right now, IMMEDIATELY. seriously. scroll through it yourself and see what i mean. not one. gosh. darn. thing. especially this particular yellow jacket so fuzzy wuzzy cozy and furry. gimme! gimme! gimme! pretty please? photo: vogue dot com

tress test

uh-oh. look guys, here's that perfect little platinum blonde bowl cut. this time, just artfully parted to one side. it's just so pretty. and chic. i want it on my head and me. eep. it's versatile enough to style all sorts of different ways and stuff. ugh. but what about continuing to grow out my now-longer hair? do i even care? tressed life. so. not. fair.  photo: artlikefigure

super duper

i'm just gonna go ahead and let it be known that if i were a superhero, this would be my uniform. all silky and metallic-y with a eye mask so as not to be recognized when seen and in mismatched white boots?!? i mean, i'd be so freakin' chic. really. seriously. can't you just picture and see it now? i just gotta figure out a super power somehow ... photo: oracle fox

bauble head

oh my good holy whoa. this girl's accessory, earring and bauble game is on point, yo!!! just look at those silvery disco ball-y things hanging out just waiting to start swaying. great. i want some desperately and really bad now. some that would graze my shoulders with that much pizazz and pow - just gotta check in with the bank account. photo: pradaphne

sheer perfection

i'm really digging everything sheer, sartorially speaking, this brand spankin' new year. and if it's in the form of a ruffled and tiered dress, all the better, i confess. just look at miss olivia here. now that's most definitely how you perfect doing the sheer. with a black-laced and kind of rough and tough heeled boot. i mean, shooty shoot shoot. photo: olivia palermo

bowled over

i cannot lie. i have been doing nothing but contemplating that maybe 2017 is the year of the big ol' bang theory for me. and i could totally do it in a cute and retro little platinum-y blonde bowl cut. i mean, yup. but, unfortunately, that would also mean that i'd give up growing out my hair to super long long lengths way down to there. hair. i swear ... photo: listal

blue eyed girl

like i said earlier in the week, adding some saturation and color into my life is what i currently most seek. in my wardrobe and my makeup, especially. No more no makeup look (although ms. alicia keys, you've got me hooked) from now on i'm going to try things like a blue shadowed eye. and maybe a mismatched brow, too. woot. photo: mary jo peace

the world accordion to garp

or me. and my pure, unadulterated obsession with the accordion pleat. especially if it's on a blouse all sheer and goldeny. it's just so shiny and pretty. and up against all that gold jewelry too? it couldn't be more perfect if it tried to! not to mention that it's got a turtleneck à la mock. come on! what more could a girl want? nada. accordion to garp. pic: blocism

tabling the discussion

i say it all the time: i need to add more color into my wardrobe's life. step out from the neutral zone of the blacks, creams and greys and step into the metallic silvers and purples. hey hey hey! i'm pretty sure i'd see and feel a difference on day one if i were to just stop talking about it and go out there and - finally - get. it. done. uh!! {fist bump} photo: dazed digital

just bead it

ever since seeing miss erin win on project runway this season (did her embroidered and beaded things remind anybody else of delpozo or is it just me?) i've wanted to bedazzle (literally) everything. in sequins and glitter and super ornate stitching. no kidding. so when i saw this pretty top, well, the "just bead it" wanting can't stop + won't stop. photo: nymag

sleeve me alone

now that's a sleeve, know what i mean? all shiny, metallic-y and minty green. and one of the things i feel is most neglected when it comes to what i'm putting on from my closet. i mean, i don't always think of making my sartorial statement with a sleeve unless we're talking its length - but i could be into sleeves that puff out too ... photo: inter/VIEW

neck if i know

ok. so. apparently, if i know what's good for me, i gotta get me a turtleneck all silver and sequin-y. agreed? 'cause it's gotta and gonna go under almost everything in my wardrobe that i deem wintry and cold weather-worthy. like jumpsuits, denim, dresses, frocks and little skirts alike. am i right, gals and guys or amirite? photo: wonderland magazine

twinkle toes

oh no. here we go. my never ending obsession with the sandal shoe + glittery sock combo. but it's just too good to let go, you know? look at it makin' her feet all sorts of glittery and twinkly. i mean, jeez. who wouldn't want that feet fete kind of two thousand + seventeen sartorial style party? certainly not magpie-ish little me, know what i mean?!? photo: pinterest

glitter it

oh won't you glitter it, just a little bit? oh won't you glitter it, just a little bit? especially if the end result looks like this? 'cause apparently in 2017 i wanna be up to my neck in nothing but accessorized things like chokers and extravagant and sweeping big dangle-y earrings. and if they're golden, gemmed and/or stone-y ... all the better to own me. photo: livingly

and it was all yellow

good gravy boats. this is the hair color i want most. a highlighter-ish yellow. no more natural dark blonde mellow. i want something that will get me again noticed and seen. not just blend-in mousy. now let's see if my hair colorist/sis agrees, shall we? 'cause up against some dark dark brows, it could be a major fashion statement. wowee wow. photo: art partner

buckle up

i know the big necklace and accessory trend is that of the thin little choker from the 1990s style and fashion coffers. but i kinda can't get over this oversized and big buckled belt look from vetements. it just looks so cool and rad against all those sequins upon silver sequins. and something i think i want to start rockin' for 2017. who's w/ me? pic: dazed digital
