A bunch of pink things I own

And I'm back, a year and a half later

The hottest girls dress like boys.

Feathers and shells

You've probably noticed how there's been this kind of native Pocahontas theme in fashion for the last little while. You know, feathers and beads and dream catchers and leather fringe. Native is the new hippy boho. Whatever it is, these two Sass & Bide dresses are definitely channeling it. I can't even decide which I like better. And the big messy bun is the cherry on top of the cake.

Things I like

Ridiculously long knit sweaters for fall. (via Face Hunter, Ems Edge & Knight Cat)

These Shape Shifter dress shirts - short in the front and long in the back.

(via Studded Hearts & Nasty Gal)

Your boyfriend's dress shirt as a light summer jacket. (via Lina di Moda)

Knots. Love this whole Acne outfit. (via A Fashion Tale)

Full metal bustier? And cowboy hats. And Erin Wasson. (via Fashion Gone Rogue)

Where I've been

I'm back in Amsterdam, have been back since Wednesday. It's been hard re-adjusting, especially after my 2.5 weeks in happy. Before I get back into fashion, which I will, here are the polaroids I promised.

One of the best parts of my trip was wandering around Portland and finding the death to the Pixies t-shirt I've been looking everywhere for (the boyfriend's is too tattered and too big for me). There it was on a hanger all perfect and in my size for 10 bucks at Ray's Ragtime.

And then I got back here and threw it in the wash, not knowing there was a small tub of lip balm in some pocket of some unimportant garment. A small tub of lip balm that subsequently was discovered, empty, after unloading the DRYER. Death to the Pixies, spotted in little oil stains. Heartbreaking. It's not too noticeable, but it bothers me. Possible fix is to put in small vintage-esque rips where the stains are...sigh.

West coast

I've been in 4 cities since the last post - Amsterdam, Montreal, Vancouver and now Portland - haven't had any time to post. I've been busy (and by "busy" I mean "lazing around on various Vancouver beaches and road tripping south") but polaroids are being taken, will continue to be taken and will be scanned in time. Looking forward to the city today and sand dunes and surfers tomorrow. Peace out. xo

Things I'm into these days

Inspiration: Acne Pre-S/S 2011. Thick heels make stilettos look like wimps. I'm tired of wedges too (that was fast). Besides, these would fare well on the Dutch cobblestones I tackle awkwardly on a nightly basis.

In descending order: Seychelles Cheerio boots, Jeffrey Campbell Bradley boots, Chloé leather lace-up boots, Jeffrey Campbell Lita boots (if you want to buy me these as a present, I'm a size 7 and go here and I'll love you forever).

Inspiration: Clémence Poesy. I like wide brim fedoras best, but why not have fun and go leather or cowgirl?

Descending: Maria from vanillascented, Acne Pre-S/S 2011, Urban Outfitters cooperative felt boater hat, ASOS wide brim fedora.

Inspiration: Nadia from FrouFrouu. This is the easiest more perfect summer look to go with a messy up-do. Just go out, find a little vintage $2 silky scarf, do a quick twice-over-wrap-around (makes sense to me?) and tie a knot at the top.

Descending: Alexander McQueen cashmere-blend skull-print scarf, Otrera Hamsa printed silk-chiffon scarf and Urban Outfitters floral print.

I want to dress like you

I always thought I wanted to dress like Audrey Hepburn. Skinny pants and flats, maybe a white dress shirt. I thought I wanted to be platinum gamine in stripes, shoulder-dusters and thick black kohl, like Edie Sedgwick. Wear suits like Diane Keaton, but be able to pull off that Jane Birkin see-through black minidress. I thought I wanted to dress like Ali MacGraw. Faye Dunaway. Catherine Deneuve. A little punk like Debbie Harry.

NOPE. Guess what. It turns out, I want to dress exactly like NADIA.
