say yes to the better dress.

24th
Aug. × ’11

 so i’ve been to a bunch of (read: two) weddings recently and with kim k, kate moss, and katie shillingford all taking the plunge, weddings, and arguably more importantly wedding dresses, are on ze brain.

say yes to the dress points it out really well. (yes, i’ve watched all 5 seasons on netflix!) most brides pick more or less the same dress over and over with few exceptions. they want to look like a princess, they say. elegant. classic. pretty. all understandable ways to want to look on your wedding day, but if i was randy, i’d want to shoot myself in the middle of kleinfeld’s floor. too harsh??

this leads me to my collection of givenchy dresses from the past several seasons that get two thumbs WAY UP when it comes to more interesting wedding wear.

ricardo really is doing everything right and nothing wrong in my eyes.

 

i GUESS i would give this a lining or something if i was lucky enough to get hitched in it. we don’t want grandma to faint.

ditto for this one.

aaaaand maaaaaybe i would switch out the cartoon viking headgear for something else. MAYBE.

but thiiiis head piece would stay.

the ombre effect on this gown and the arm bands i think make this look my favorite. <3

tatts & rugs.

i think i might like this rug so much a.) because of my strange affinity for the movie married to the mob and probably more accurately b.) my memory of putting the exact same fake tattoo that i used to put on MANY a child and many more a woman’s breast or thigh during my high school summer stint at six flags. yeah, i did that.

 

dvf, i am on to you.

the timing of christopher kane’s resort 2012 couldn’t have been more perfect. his show being only days after ny state passed gay marriage. yipee! kismet i tell you.

as my one friend noted, everyone in new york with an AA “legalize gay” tee will have one less shirt. now there is this collection to fill that void. AND THEN SOME.

it’s beautiful.

c kane.

whoa, had NO idea there was a vogue mexico in existence. shame on me. but, what a way to find out - by seeing my boo, cindy, all over it.

in honor of this discovery, i will attempt to write the rest of this post in espanol. luckily, i don’t have much else to say. heh heh heh. (or should i say jajajaja??)

¡cindy, te amo! aún tú es muy bonita. ¿tú sabes?

estoy terminado.

 

¡ORALE!

kewl koozies.

22nd
Jun. × ’11

never thought i would be propelled to post about koozies (have you seen these wine koozies??! ahem, aptly named a uhhh woozie?? yikes is right.)

but theeeeese, theese, my friends, in my humble opinion are kinda neato. i think they could also use a slightly better name (bottle freakers), but anything not called a woozie is a step in the right direction, right?

these can be used for water bottles, sodas, beers, ya know, totes whatevs!

anywhoooo, i think i just am into the colors and patterns.

i always appreciate when something that is thoroughly functional, but frankly ugly as HELL gets a little makeover.

check them here.
