vote, dangit.

chris: when are we going to have secure at-home online voting - i bet we'd get 100% voter turnout.

until then - remember to vote today. kudos if you already braved the long lines or sent in your absentee ballots!

DOMOKUN SIGHTED @ TARGET!

target chose the awesome japanese domokun as their halloween mascot this year!! how awesome!! we tried to look for domokun merchandise at the target store, but everything was sold out. but you can click on this person's flickr link to see all the domokun x target stuff!

you can also see a domokun video at target.com/halloween.

as if i didn't already have enough reasons to love target.

the combination rule.

"Designing is basically the practice of combining stuff; ideally in ways that haven't been seen before. So the more stuff you know (about everything), the greater the chance you'll find a relevant and distinctive, and therefore effective (and original) combination."

halloween costume idea.

classic.

there are certain things in life that will be forever timeless: red lipstick, black dresses, white pearls....yellow rainboots. the loeffler randall version is classic bright yellow with a super modern low wedge heel (like their non-rubber 'matilde' boot). if only it rained enough here to justify the price tag ($195) -_-

i'm in love.

omg!! i finally succumbed and got the ultimate icon of yuppiedom - the iphone - and i freaking love it. i know it's annoying to non-iphone users to hear apple fanatics wax poetic about a stupid gadget, and it's probably even more uncool to iphone users who have had it for ages and are like "ok noob, calm down"...but this is what happens when you are in love.

i was telling chris how i polish my phone obsessively so it is shiny and pretty and how much i adore my phone.

me: i'm kind of in love with my iphone
me: is that weird?
me: the iphone and i are soulmates!!
me: haha
me: now cue the montage
me: where the iphone and i are doing all this stuff together
me: we like skip through a field of daisies
me: and then share a plate of spaghetti
me: and the iphone nudges over the last meatball to me
me: and then we get married and i smoosh cake on the iphone's face
me: but then i have to clean and polish it
me: for like hours

and then i think of my favorite part from the first "harold and kumar" movie where kumar is in love with a bag of weed:




yeah. it's like that. unfortunately, the iphone sucks at making coffee too.

as a bon voyage gift for eric, i took some photos of him that colin sent me and we captioned them LOLcat style. it's funny how much eric resembles a LOLcat.


you can see the rest (plus some new ones of other friends) at lolpeople.tumblr.com. i want to keep adding em, so if you want to contribute something, send it over!!!

wren.

i loved wren since i first saw them show at genart with monica last fall cuz basically it's stuff i really want to wear every single day. it's simple and subtle - honestly, it looks like a collection of basics - but they're not boring, the colors are rich and interesting, it looks incredible on, and all the proportions are just right. the little shrunken blazer with the skirt and nylons is so genius.

i discovered this year that full, flouncy miniskirts are the best summer wardrobe staple ever.

and for fall and winter, pencil skirts and drapey cardigans are my favorite. and that coat is so precious. the sleeves are a little shorter, which i love.

and statement jewelry, tunics, and anything backless are the best. THE BEST.

vanity fair features the new generation of fashion designers re-defining american style. isn't it amazing how many of the most innovative and celebrated modern designers are asian?

on that note. i love love love alexander wang.


there's a hint of 90's grunge about his stuff that brings to mind kate moss a la the calvin klein era.

this must be the showroom.

and the design studio.
these are OUT OF THIS WORLD.

i love this photo. i think it's of some of the employees from alexander wang's studio. i know i would like these girls, simply because they have the best f*ing taste in shoes ever.
