grasping at the pretty straws

after coming up for air from a lengthy search that yielded
nothing desirable at beacons, this gilded chocolate straw hat
by stephen jones for marc jacobs spring 2009 show placed
itself in my path
an appropriate and very welcome precursor to
my newly trimmed bang fringe

my alpine girl

i really enjoyed the marni show this season. it grew up a bit from the wild weirdo girl it turned

into last season (although in some aspects i prefer that girl). it has been interesting to watch

consuelo evolve the sport influence and this felt like the ultimate climax of that. i saw a particular

mountain hiking influence with climbing leggings fused with patterned trousers and the anorak dresses

and over pieces. hit the slopes.
