New York

I spent the most beautiful day of the past few months in New York. The Margiela sale was a disaster for lack of sizes and the prices were too high on what fit me (I am lamenting not being in NY today when the prices were almost 90%... though I am so over it!).

We visited the Highline, and that made the whole trip worthwhile. D + S are incredible -- The idea of the park was an incredibly innovative way to utilize the remnants of the railway. The design at certain points mimicks the natural decline by the asymmetrical and sometimes sudden sprouts of flora. The benches and seating areas, the theater facing the streets... it is such an incredible space to be in.

Back in rainy Boston, Margiela-less, I would rather be wearing these...possibly all at the same time:

Since we are on the subject of cities, did you know that the capital of Vermont is Montpelier pronounced /mɒntˈpiːliər/ (thanks wikipedia!)? I almost burst laughing at the pronunciation by one of my prof who has a Boston - Upper West Side hybrid accent. Can an l make that much of a difference America?...and England?....and Ireland? (for disambiguation, look at the french Montpellier). Interestign facts, there are so many Monpeliers in the US:

• Montpelier, Idaho
• Montpelier, Indiana
• Montpelier, Iowa
• Montpelier, Kentucky
• Montpelier, Louisiana
• Montpelier, Maryland
  • Montpelier Mansion (Laurel, Maryland), a U.S. National Historic Landmark
• Montpellier (Natchez, Mississippi), listed on the NRHP in Mississippi
• Montpelier, Ohio
• Montpelier, Vermont, capital of the U.S. state of Vermont
• Montpelier, Hanover County, Virginia
• Montpelier, Charles City County, Virginia
• Montpelier (Orange, Virginia), another U.S. National Historic Landmark, which is the Virginia estate of James Madison, fourth President of the United States
• Montpelier (Cabin Point, Virginia), listed on the NRHP in Virginia
• Montpelier (Sperryville, Virginia), listed on the NRHP in Virginia

P.S. I was thinking of editing the title line to "Montpelier!"... but seriously, no!

Halloween!

This is the first time I am celebrating Halloween. Seriously! There is nothing spookier than Property Law on a Saturday night (Probably property law on Friday night is indeed scary!)
This is the nerdiest post ever, I might delete it later..... From the Criterion Collection

Ay!

Alex Wang is one of my favorite designers for everyday, basic looks. He is the master of the certain contemporary upper middle class non-chalance. And I love him for it!
I just found out that he is including stripes in the T line, and I am sooo excited. I am even amending my fall wishlist to an actual shopping list. I want this lovely:

and this lovely (but i am not as firm on this one):

Rogan @ LaGarconne

And this is it! Why, Merci Mr. Wang!

Stripes!

Speaking of stripes --I am always speaking of stripes, and when I am not speaking of stripes, I am thinking of stripes, and when I am not thinking of stripes, I am wearing stripes-- I found these ads by the French stripe master Gaultier very quirky. The models have a very Joe Dallesandro look and attitude. I loved Dallessandro in my Rimbaud-reading mega nerd early high school days.

I also wore stripes today. It was very exciting. I looked and felt great! I wore them with Hunter boots and while walking on the leaf covered Boston streets I whispered Gainsbourg songs. Some things never change!

Masks!

It is my dream to have a leather doctor's mask. I looked for one while in Venice, but nothing. I came back with a baby pig and an ant! Some of the loveliest masks I have seen are from Kiki de Montparnasse. I also love this one from Coco de Mer...
