Seeing double

Junya Watanabe's Spring 2004 collection is a polka dot-filled visual on repeat when I think about his work. I revisited it again after coming across a dress from that season on ebay (which I recently won and will share once it's in my hands), realizing I never really looked at the detail shots on style.com. I'm so into the eyes! I ran out of my black liquid liner this week and decided to try a new kind this time- so I went with a Maybelline liner that allows you to get more precise when you're tracing your eye. I plan on attempting this boomerang effect- watch out weekend here I come!



Having just moved into a new apartment, I've been thinking a lot about furniture, space, and new art for our walls. As much as I'd love to own a piece by Tauba Auerbach, particularly one of her large static prints, I do not have 8 grand to put towards art anytime soon. While searching around for everything Tauba, I hit myself on the head and instantly clicked over to Amazon when I discovered that this Comme des Garcons SHIRT ad I've oggled over before (and posted on my tumblr a while back) was designed by her AND printed in the Oct 2008 issue of Vanity Fair. I'm waiting for the magazine to arrive, and already have a fantastic Muji frame waiting to be christened with the ad art. Once our place is set up, maybe I'll pull a Selby on myself.



With moving often comes a desire to organize better, or at least more creatively in my case. I have acquired a lot of necklaces in the past few years, so while looking for an alternative to just putting a nail in the wall, I found this ear hook from UO that I had to have. They are on sale for 5 bones now so I just might get another. Maybe one day I'll amputate a mannequin hand as another alternative (kidding!...no i'm not!)



This is a glove-shaped bag from Margiela that I saw on ebay a few months ago. I watch a lot of things for kicks that I know I won't buy or don't need. Would you believe this ended around $1400?? I was in shock. Anyway, glad I saved a pic because I want to find some good men's leather gloves and the other materials to craft my own eventually. If you think this is strange, have you seen D&G's glove headpieces from Fall 09?
