Rick Owens Side Pocket Boots at Barney's Warehouse Sale

These might solve my current boot abscess

(Rick Owens leather side pcoket boots, $564 on sale at Barney's Warehous Sale online) 

Gosh, is Deconstruction Back in?

I have to say, this week's might be the best collection of designs since Project Runway All Stars started.


Perhaps it was the 2 day time frame that allowed the designers the chance to breathe and really show what they're capable of, but whatever the reason I didn't hate anything from the "take clothes off strangers and reconstruct it into something cute" challenge

Even Anthony's eliminated ensemble featured agreeable, on trend high-waisted pants and turban. He was cut merely for not using enough of his collected resources, showing that given enough time this contestant pool will rise to the challenge. 

But let's get back to our show ponies:

AUSTIN

I thought this was a shoe-in for both its chic girliness and for being a nice stretch of Austin's aesthetic. Wild for that skirt and I know many a girl who would wear this right now. 

MONDO

Who am I to question a wild print, color block, granny short and the jacket was Rick Owens for Macy's which is, I swear, a compliment

This was a tough call, but since the judges really adhered to the basis of the challenge, reinvention, I'm gonna go for Austin's. He tore that punk ish from his girl off the street up and made a lady with edge

LOVE that skirt! 

At the end of week five, they're both still very much alive

Everbody Loves Dark Shadows, Darlin'!

A famous actress from True Blood came into my work this weekend. I didn't realize who she was at first, just that she was asking my co-worker for any pieces from Dark Shadow, the Rick Owens line

I thought she said "Dark Shadows" the 60's soap and the object of my current devotion. You know I had to jump in!



Me: "Did you say Dark Shadows? I was just watching that on my lunch break. Barnabas is totally gunning for Vicky Winters now that his plan to seduce Maggie Evans into thinking she's his deceased former love, Josette failed."

She: Oh my God, I love Dark Shadows. All these new supernatural shows rip it off so much.



Little did I know, until I Googles her after, what a cheeky little wink this was. Clever clover, I knew I knew her from somewhere!
