Sneak peek

A look into the future, at Urban Outfitters's Fall '09 collection. The dainty floral dress, granny boots, and studded accessories take us back to '90s grunge and skate parks filled with greasy-haired lads.

Marc Jacobs A/W 09-10

These are my own scans of the Marc Jacobs' Autumn-Winter 09/10 ad campaign from Teen Vogue (click on the pictures to see the HQ scans). The androgynous chick makes the whole look for this fall.

Now I’m dreaming somebody would simply come and kidnap me

This is a girl's dream outfit. Or, at least the outfit I made up in my head, filled with acid wash jeans, dainty florals, leather shoes and laces, and some slick accessories to make a 'L.A. meets Paris' look. The laced-up wedges are my favorite part of the outfit, which is just for $100 from Aldo.

Qui est cette fille?

Latin America has been surging into the style world with lots of new labels and magazines (read Ayo America!'s post on Regia Magazine), and Complot from Argentina is another example. The label is filled with funky pieces and throwback styles; something that every girl has been yearning. Complot is also holding a contest where fans post pictures of them wearing their clothes for a chance to be in their 2009 lookbook. Doesn't 'inspiración' ring a bell?

Overdue

the rules: answer the questions on your blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your own invention and add one more question of your own.

what is your current obsession? Wedge shoes. My favorite is these brown wedges from H&M. Yes, they tear up my feet, but it's a weird masochist feeling.

what are you wearing now? A sailor navy-blue-and-white top, black skinnies, and black sandals.

what is on your desk? My bag, bills, books from last semester, a clown cup holding all of my writing utensils.

what would you like to learn to do? Become more productive with my free time.

what’s for dinner? Seasoned chicken breast, a little bit of rice and beans, and salad.

what was the last thing you bought? Starbucks this morning.

Where do you spend most of your summer? At Astoria Park. It's beautiful, in front of the East River, tons of plaid-wearing boys on bicycles and trees galore.

if you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be? Paris of course.

what languages can you speak? English and Spanish.

what do you want to be when you grow up? Work in a lab. I know it's not elegant, but it's a career in chemistry that attracts me. Somehow, everything makes sense when it comes to chemistry. There are no maybes.

what are your favourite websites? Hipster Runoff (I confess!), Hypem.com, Stockholm Streetstyle, le Cool Cats blog for sure.

if you were to pick up a pen right now, what would be the first thing you'd write? A to-do list.

if you you could be anywhere in the world at any point in time, where would you be? in Paris, at a party somewhere with Adèle (you know with who!)

+ something strange about you that most people don't know? I'm a dreamer. My head is filled up with so many wonderful thoughts about how to improve life and such, but I never get around to it.

So there's some info about me! I'd love to see others filling this out with their wonderful answers.

It's not an easy game being in touch

I'm hooked on Street Tease, a French site filled with pictures and tunes. This photoshoot on the site is perfect for the wicked designs on these t-shirts. Oh, and Mehdi (2^nd to last picture) is in this too? Me and other French touch fans will sleep soundly tonight.

Don't stop without a fuss, now we gonna run this game

Customizable v-necks/body suits/racer-back tanks and great ethnic patterns is an indie kid's delight; all from Brooklyn-based Jawmaker. How perfect would this be at Coachella or Bonnaroo? And if you couldn't go to those festivals, this indie tune from Telepathe does the trick.
