love in bushwick

just stumbled upon this on a walk through the neighborhood. 

i want it all.

S/S '10 from Duskin

if i had all the money in the world, i would buy everything.

(check out the Duskin blog too...very cool)

i am wondering why i haven't heard of Family Affairs until now. thank you to Sally Jane Vintage for showing me the way. Family Affairs is designed by a mother and daughter team, one based in NYC and the other in Switzerland. how sweet is that? the lookbook is truly amazing. and then the smiths, the cure, and inxs references only make me want it all even more. be sure to check out the archive for sale items.

beauiful, ethereal dresses from Ida Sjösted.  these dresses have me wanting to get married again.

i think mallory from where the lovely things are put if perfectly- "The dresses are very Sofia Coppola-esque. In that, I mean that they look rather.... Marie Antoinette meets The Virgin Suicides."

the jeepers creepers jumpsuit

 

 

ok...it may not be the most practical article of clothing, but i love it. i love it in a bianca jagger/ studio 54 sorta way. i really, really, really love it. i especially love the deep low as you can go back.  however, as kick ass as this girl looks, really...could she really walk down the street like that?  i think instead i would laze around the house in it. definitely good sexy stuff for around the house.

anyway...this limited edition jumpsuit is by the 4th & bleeker label. australian made. available for pre-order now.

lovers on the run: vol. 6

"It's not gonna mean anything if we don't make it together"

 

Ok, this is the last of the lovers on the run series.  The Getaway has extra special meaning for me since Adam & I did a project together (back in his days in the CalArts MFA program) which involved the two of us, a video camera, and some dialogue from this movie. But in any case- The Getaway...Steve McQueen is "Doc" McCoy (need I say more) and Ali MacGraw is his wife Carol- looking flawless and chic- even when crawling around in a dumpster.  There's a bank robbery, there's bad guys, double crossing, and car chases...but somehow they make it out alive.

p.s..watch out for the surprising cute but annoying Sally Struthers.

lovers on the run: vol. 5

"You didn't believe we'd always be in love."

 

 

Pierre le Fou! Jean- Luc Godard! Anna Karina! Jean- Paul Belmondo! Totally weird and bizarre, but I'm into it.

"I never told you I'd love you all my life. Oh my love, you never swore to adore me all your life. We never made promises like that, knowing me knowing you. We never thought we ever would be caught by love fickle as we were. And yet, and yet, step by step, without a word between us, bit by bit, feelings slipped between our merry mingle bodies and words of love rose to our naked lips. Bit by bit lots of words of love began to mingle gently with our kisses. How many words of love? I never would have thought I'd always want you. Oh my love, we never would have thought we two could live together and not get bored. Wake up every morning and be just as surprised to be just as happy in the same bed, desire nothing more than that oh so banal pleasure of feeling so good to be together. And yet, and yet, step by step without a word between us, bit by bit our feelings bound us tight in spite of ourselves, bound us tight forever Feelings stronger than any words of love known or unknown. Feelings so wild and so strong. Feelings we never thought were possible before. Don't ever promise to adore me all your life. Let's not make promises like that knowing me knowing you. Let's keep the feeling that this love of ours, this love of ours, will be short and sweet."

lovers on the run: vol. 4

"The strangest damned gang you ever heard of. They're young. They're in love. They rob banks."

So obvious. But so good.

"You've heard the story of Jesse James / Of how he lived and died / If you're still in need / Of something to read / Here's the story of Bonnie and Clyde. / Now Bonnie and Clyde are the Barrow gang / I'm sure you all have read / How they rob and steal / And those who squeal / Are usually found dyin' or dead. / They call them cold-hearted killers / They say they are heartless and mean / But I say this with pride / That I once knew Clyde / When he was honest and upright and clean. / But the laws fooled around / Kept takin' him down / And lockin' him up in a cell / Till he said to me: "I'll never be free / So I'll meet a few of them in Hell." / If a policeman is killed in Dallas / And they have no clue to guide / If they can't find a fiend / They just wipe their slate clean / And hang it on Bonnie and Clyde / If they try to act like citizens / And rent them a nice little flat / About the third night / They're invited to fight / By a sub-guns' rat-a-tat-tat. / Some day, they'll go down together / They'll bury them side by side / To a few, it'll be grief / To the law, a relief / But it's death for Bonnie and Clyde."

lovers on the run: vol. 3

True Romance. For Sure.

"I had to come all the way from the highway and byways of Tallahassee, Florida to Motor City, Detroit to find my true love. If you gave me a million years to ponder, I would never have guessed that true romance and Detroit would ever go together. And til this day, the events that followed all still seems like a distant dream. But the dream was real and was to change our lives forever. I kept asking Clarence why our world seemed to be collapsing and things seemed to be getting so shitty. And he'd say, "that's the way it goes, but don't forget, it goes the other way too." That's the way romance is... Usually, that's the way it goes, but every once in awhile, it goes the other way too."
