a blog dedicated entirely to the wardrobe of mallory keaton. genius. i've been meaning to do this myself for every episode of the love boat. but right now i'm in the middle of moving into a new apartment. there's no time for anything!

Watching: Valley Girl

She's cool. He's hot. She's from the Valley. He's not.

I was feeling a little nostalgic so I spent Saturday night watching Valley Girl- so classic. 1983. Deborah Foreman and Nicolas Cage. 

"That chick Julie, she's truly dazzling"

I love this blouse, worn with high waisted jeans... and her hair! Perfection. 

Anyone else think she looks like Rachel Zoe?

This makes me sad that I was not a teenager in the 80's. 

"He's the most awesome dude ever"

Every 80's slumber party requires girls dancing around in their underwear. Am I the only one who has never done this? By the way, I really want that zebra print tank/ undie set. 

Prada anyone? 

This actually reminds me of my prom dress. I wore vintage. I can't believe I unknowingly referenced Valley Girl. 

In case you were wondering, Deborah Foreman is now a yoga and pilates instructor.

marchesa: spring 2011

intermission

ok, i have to take a "time-out" from fashion week for just a moment here because THIS titanium quartz ring is insane and amazing and i love it. i'm not even sure i should be telling you about it because it's one of a kind and i want it, but here i am anyway. 

"titanium quartz is famous for giving increased life energy, humor, relaxation, and enjoyment of life"

 i think i could use just about all of that. perfect.

vena cava: spring 2011

everyone loves vena cava, don't they? 

elegant, smart, effortless, and the styling- perfection. 

dramatic eyes, coral lips, and turban inspired headbands.
 i'm all about the headscarf/ turban/ headband- they all add glamour to a simple summer outfit.

i must admit i have a little "girl crush" on lisa mayock. (someone come up with a better word for that please! it's become drastically overused).

michael kors: spring 2011

love the big, slouchy socks with sandals

 

i feel like i'm on vacation just looking at this. love the long, flowy skirt. simple but beautiful.

when i see this, i think of kim basinger in the 80's. i like it.

love the easy, slouchy, 80s sportswear feel with a little glitz. effortless.

milly: spring 2011

big. bold. ladylike.
impeccably styled- the headwraps, the chunky jewelry, and sunglasses to die for.
this seems to be the direction i am headed as i get into my 30's.

rebecca taylor: spring 2011

i don't usually do the posts on the NYFW thing. i didn't even look at the fall collections at all back in february. for one thing- it's so time consuming to pour over each collection. it never seems to end. and then i get a migraine from looking at all these slideshows. but, i'm really putting in the effort this go around. i need inspiration. i've been going through this period of reevaluation and i think i need to just remind myself of why i got into this field, and that i really do love it, despite how burnt out i feel right now. so, i'm compiling a list of my favorites. this blog, after all, is like a big never ending scrapbook of influence and inspiration. 

rebecca taylor has always been one of my favorites. i love the sheerness of this collection- so ethereal, feminine and subtly sexy in that late 70's/ early 80's way that i love. 

but... don't the models look a little busted? i love the hair (looks like mine!), but the makeup....bad.

we're moving... again!

so, we've decided to leave the factories, tractor trailer trucks, desolation, and general ugliness of east williamsburg/ bushwick for the quieter, prettier surroundings of park slope. this means giving up our huge loft for a slightly smaller place with a slightly smaller studio, but being amongst the presence of trees and coffee shops and restaurants is worth it. 

 to get to the point- we're having a big sale in hopes that there will be less to move on the big day.

Ocean Lemonade

I was so sad to have missed the Spring/ Summer 2011 presentation, "Ocean Lemonade" by Family Affairs, a line I only just discovered last year but am deeply in love with. If I could live in a wardrobe consisting of only Family Affairs, I would. I can't wait to see more from the spring collection.

Fore more photos, visit the Family Affairs blog- which happens to be one of my favorites.

cry-baby!

"He's a doll. He's a dreamboat. He's a delinquent."

i love that who what wear daily did a post on cry-baby- one of my favorite john waters films (along with hairspray, that is).
