lately i've been feeling a more subtle version of the 60s mod girl: big sur, joni mitchell, all those jean luc goddard movies, brigitte bardot and the eponymous shirts, polo necks and suedes, high waisted trousers, brogues etc.
i took the photos with my webcam this time, and like, it's grainy as usual, but i kind of like it??
copenhagen street style \ topshop cord button dress \ everything i'm wearing is thrifted.
turtlenecks: i love them, they always look cool. i might have mentioned this before but i used to hate them passionately until 7th grade, and if you're keeping track that's 13 years of missing out on a chance to look like anyone from your friend's dad to a 60s pop singer. versatility, my friends.

casual dressing in a button down or a loose shirt and blue jeans-- like margaret's 'painting outfit' in big eyes.
big eyes
unknown / francoise hardy / brigitte bardot
these strange polyurethane pleather suit-things. not really sure what they are but i've noticed a bit of them. i love the shape and sunset color of the first one.
the all white. bianca jagger's suit is like the absolute queen of this concept. it's so cohesive and so effortless. francoise hardy looks p cool too.
what do you guys think of this look? what have you been into lately?
right now i'm at that point in my google chrome existence where it take 8 minutes to load a webpage because i've developed an emotional attachment to all of the tabs i have open and bookmarking them would just add to a list that is already miles long. so i thought i'd post them here, both for future reference and so that you can share in the stress wealth that comes with the internet. -- courtney love
i am a biggg fan of courtney love and hole and everything she breathes basically (i love courtney love?) i almost exploded after the news of her beautiful comeback earlier this year- but I really exploded when i saw:
. this trailer for a short, bizarrely beautiful remake of Valley of the Dolls starring COURTNEY LOVE, lindsay lohan, miley cyrus and chloe sevigny, and paula deen called... Valley of the Doll Parts. your life will be forever changed.
. an interview on Style.com with Courtney in which she talks about cheese, Hole and fashion (!!) and contradicts herself (as in, a lot) but it's Courtney Love so the entire interview is crazy stupid cool beautiful- just read it.
lana del rey
. Lana Del Rey's Ultraviolet album which was released on Friday. The album is good and has a distinct sound but I can't talk much about it because there's so much going on that I'm confused about: possible romanticizing of of domestic violence, lana's denouncement of feminism (my current thoughts are super conflicted and sound a bit like: ASCAGHDRHUYTVKLIZSFBR) but instead here are some articles from people who seem to know what they're talking about:
(TW for rape in A Clockwork Orange / domestic violence) Album Review (Consequence of Sound)
if you have any idea what you think of all this (or even if you don't) please let me know in the comments.
company digital festival
If you're like me and possibly will never be able to afford tickets to a music festival until you're the ripe old age of 30 (SARCASM), and you've already accepted your fate as a perpetual hermit- then rejoice at the Company Magazine Digital Festival. Company is hosting an online festival that you can watch right. from. your. couch. I don't know many of the bands (The Vamps, Charli XCX, John Newman) - but I'm still pretty excited.
cultural appropriation
interesting article by Refinery 29 about cultural appropriation that covers all the bases (what it is, why it's a problem, what we can do to change it etc)
bib and tuck's beautiful new Youtube special with Jilly Hendrix asking New York fashuneestas about clothes, money, and dreams. i recommend ruthie and arabelle's- but they're so short that watching them all one after another will just make your life happier.
archy marshall's musings on his hometown + beautifully shot photos = tru luv
bonus:
a random picture of david bowie and edie sedgwick i found on tumblr that makes me so so happy and i truly want you guys to feel as positive as i am now <3<3 (those hearts are a semi-accurate representation of my life right now and it's so very good)
