croquis of desire

There has been an itty bitty trend with my posts lately.... if you had not noticed already,

but I'll never be the one to tell...

(as if it wasn't obvious)

And, as I was about to say:

When I was in Buenos Aires, Argentina is wasn't long before I discovered boutique stores and designer labels that I would return to time and again during my visit. Many of these labels are sure to receive international recognition for their trend setting ways. I quickly fell in love with Rapsodia. Their boho, soho, grunge, rock, whimsical, indie style is soo in tune with global trends and yet creatively reflects Argentine style.

This is the interior wall of Rapsodia Boutique in Parlermo, a district within the city full of independent & well-established designer labels. Here at the cashiers desk while I purchased my leather boots gum boots and scarf. They are well worn now after many months of wear, but loved non the less.

And now for more melting hearts:

el creme de la creme

the essence of my being

the answer is clear, no?

All my loving

it's just a small obsession, nothing that cant be cured with what I've been brewing in my basement

Had it been another day...

i might have looked the other way

.

i think i am a little bit

news news, read all about it

i. heart. i.nternational. c.itizen.s.

Listen to the worlds that are not being said... then rinse and repeat

melting hearts

you look to the left and then to the right, right?

side streets of Parlermo

same street

divided in design

i got my hair cut

i finally got my hair cut not too long ago

and these pics were my source of inspiration!

i've adored freja and her 1970's rocker style for a long time now,

perhaps some of you may remember when i started this blog back in October 2009- woooweee

we'll i did "an ode to freja..." examining what it is about her exactly that makes her so distinct from the sea of models alike

ah here is the first collage i created dedicated to this spectacular mop of hair

p.s. i heart my new hair

HAZARDOUS MATERIALS @ Dries

Incroyable combination of acid silk florals mixed with the ultimate comfort of jersey. It's like being on a African Safari whilst discovering an ancient rock mine... the unsuspecting fashion victims enter the old mine cave entrance clearly marked "DO NOT ENTER, HAZARDOUS MATERIALS"... Only to trip, spill and run back out covered in chemical acids, which in this case dye their taupe, beige clothing into wickedly lovely vibrant colours. Not to mention the animal instinct of leopard and cargo pockets on the dress clearly support this elaborate tale and theory I've created.

To be Announced

la boca + fall 2009 leafs = inspire-d-ation

Side Saddle or Straddle?

"you. made. me. proud."
