Song Of The Day: Empire of The Sun - Walking On a Dream
This was - in my humble opinion - the highlight in Alexander McQueen’s Spring 2012 collection. The bodice, the colors, its all absolute perfection.
Bravo Sarah Burton. Bravo.

“Well, some people try to pick up girls and get called assholes. This never happened to Pablo Picasso. He could walk down your street and girls could not resist his stare and so, Pablo Picasso was never called an asshole.”
“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes… the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules… you can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things… they push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”— Steve Jobs
Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life so you bought some sweatpants.

Song Of The Day: Lana Del Rey - Video Games
Brilliant song by the self-professed “gangsta Nancy Sinatra”.
Lanvin’s new Fall/Winter campaign was just released and my thoughts are, well, right on the fence. While I can certainly appreciate an element of fun in what would otherwise be a very stiff and formal affair, the inclusion of a Pitbull song (really?!) paired with painfully awkward dance moves leaves me with a sense of bewilderment. I can only hope that the point was to transmit a sense of whimsy. You know, Wes Anderson style.
To give credit where credit is due, the collection is absolutely amazing. Starting with those capes. Oh those lovely capes….
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Before making any immediate assumptions, this is not some Web 2.0 tattoo trend. What you see above is the latest from Etsy shop ‘tattoo socks’. A clever, somewhat kitschy nude colored stocking that encourages just about anyone to “follow” you on Twitter.
Sure, they could lead to misinterpretations. Perhaps even a stalker or two. Thought I will admit to being tempted regardless. As of now, the Tel Aviv based shop carries this model in various colors and sizes. I also encourage everyone to check out some of their other styles - Forest Symphony is already high on my list.
Now, if only they could add customized Twitter handles….
