mon coeur perdu

i lost my heart...

locket and i'm crushed.

the one that i have fondly worn for years.

in a fit of stress and missing deadlines it fell off my person

and its nowhere to be found.

i swear to all the greek gods, once it saved my life.

i was riding my bike in italy and was hit with a jagged glass bottle in 

what would be the base of my neck

but my heart was there and the glass ricocheted off it.

leaving me stunned and slashed neck free.

i swear it. it had a dent in it to prove my tale.

it looked like this...

i could replace it with many life savers...

my outing to MOMA yesterday yielded a number of inspirations,

all to follow.

and everything is going to the beat

i had the pleasure of meeting ayad from passion pit a few weeks ago while working 

for levi's during the cmj music festival in new york. while i didn't physically 

see them playing live, i was just above them upstairs, so i heard them loud and clear.

gets you moving in the best way possible. they will be a hit. i got a feeling for this one.

mon dernier tango à paris

clips from paulo melim andersson's last collection for chloe, fall 2008.

i'm particularly fixated with the embellishments, details and wispy 70s feel.

although this being the collection that knocked him from his creative director post,

i love it and find it well aligned with the last tango in paris inspiration.

i'm attempting to try my hand at recreating some of these ideas.

spring ahead with product placement
