Aug 02instant vintage : 08.2010 : …fall… (Superfresh)
Summer hasn’t really been much of a summer this year, so I have my mind set on other things…namely, Labor Day vacation and what I’d like to be wearing when the seasons “change.” Below is a trio of photos that are giving me the vapors:
Photo via The Sartorialist
High-waisted trousers, daytime sequins, light jewelry…
Photo via Necole Bitchie
…mixed prints, lots of color…
Photo via Jak and Jil
…silky thangs, shiny thangs, and chunky necklaces inspired by the motherland…
Sensing a theme yet?
No?
Ok, maybe this only makes sense in my mind…then again, I’m the one who dreams about Chris Brown tweeting his phone number so that he can sing apologies to people, security guards who take wild skunks out for walks, Lost’s John Locke in a voguing competition with Benny Ninja inside a Nintendo store, and several situations in which people are trying to kill me…
Anyway, the crux of this post is to declare my desire to don things mixed with other things that probably shouldn’t be mixed together but somehow work.
COHESION is the word of the season.
I’m all over all of this in T-minus 2 months. Wallet and hands willing.

Hi
This aint got sh** to do with Chris Brown tweeting his phone number, i was just wondering if you wanna swap some jewellery. I got some necklaces (2) from Congo, and i never wore them (and never intend to at this point).
SO, if you’re interested, hit me (related to Chris Brown this one).
Ciao
Ornella

GIRRRRRRRRRRRL! I’m trying to DIY it, but I’m stuck finding the right materials. So frustrating!
Nice inspiration photos and I love the idea of mixing opposites, very interesting.

I am in love with that first look and I’ve become a little obsessed with finding high-waisted trousers lately. Can’t wait for Fall to arrive!

Prints on prints… amazing, especially the picture you chose. It’s still summery, but also somehow signals a transition.
Listen, I’m thinking we need a play date of sorts. Maybe gather up a small group of us and grab coffee or dinner some night after work? Let me know
XXo,

the silk button downs are easily triffted, the best are male colored ones.

I want
chunky jewelry
and lots of color
pieces
too.

I like mixing things that shouldn’t be mixed. I’m working on a basil vodka lemonade right now!

Miss J LOVES the first one especially… mmm sequins.

A look into the inner workings of your mind…I like it! The girl with the fro is just about the cutest thing ever. I saw so many prim and ladylike looks for fall on the runways that your inspiration really excites me.

That first photo is so sexy. I’d like to give Chris Brown a piece of my mind.
I *want* that army green silky shirt in the bottom picture. And the necklace. And everything Solange is wearing. Ok, just gimme it all, lol!
