girls backstage at prada. i love the colors and the red lips. i've also been wishing i could do the whole pigtail thing without looking 5 for the last 2 months.

plato's atlantis

i am still reeling over alexander mcqueen's s/s 2010 show. everything, from the clothes to the hair to the accessories, are a visual stimulus. the atlantis theme is so perfect. watch the videos below of the runway show. the film mcqueen and nick knight filmed for the runway show can be seen! needless to say, it is stunning.

daria looking badass in this amazing tuxedo-inspired coat. i would join her gang.

race your back

i love the summer simplicity of this model's outfit. the racerback detail of the back of the tank is to-die-for.

sasha sasha sasha

sasha pivovarova has one of those faces that haunt you forever and ever. those hollow cheekbones and her alien-like huge eyes are so unforgettable. i don't have anything new to offer you, but these old images of sasha are going to have to tide you over. remember that balenciaga jacket that everyone was gaga over? and where in the world is gemma?

ps - thanks to everyone for your well wishes on the move. my new favorite activity has become driving over portland's many bridges.

09 cfda awards

congrats to the sisters of rodarte! anja glows in her white gown and i love how diane kruger is wearing that red jason wu frock in a sea of black and white.

wild at heart

speaking of the met ball, since the theme is model as muse, i couldn't help but think back to the supers of the 90's. and what better way to commemorate them than this iconic shoot from vogue's september '91 editorial, wild at heart, shot by peter lindbergh. these girls in biker chic ensembles make me swoon.

Wherever I May Roam

I found this Vogue UK editorial on Summer Teeth's blog and had to share, since I love Daria Werbowy and Lily Donaldson.

Random story of the day - I saw Lily D at a flea market in LA one time. At first I wasn't sure, but the minute I heard her speak in that beautiful British accent of hers, I knew. I won't lie, I did stalk her for a little bit. She was very tall and gorgeous (albeit a bit too thin) in person.

Aggy, Chanel, and Erin at the Louis Vuitton/Stephen Sprouse party. I can honestly never tire of the ever so alluring Erin Wasson.

I am obsessed with this image. The colors of the balloons...I can't explain. I feel like this is what a happy day would feel like...floating around Paris, in a fancy dress, holding on to a bunch of balloons.

Here's the ad that was directed by Sofia Coppola. Enjoy!

Lula!
