mama sweater

Is that a fitted blazer made of comfy, warm, deer-print sweater knit?
Love.

I also just plain wish I saw more people walking around like that. I think it's The Kills?
Instead I see people in pajama pants or Uggs...

My favorite Queen

This stunningly-tailored Alexander McQueen suit from his Fall 2009 collection is my dream item right now. Everything about it makes me feel warm and glowing inside. I consider houndstooth my pattern (after it became popular I had to teach everyone what it was called -- does that look like a "checker-board"?). Black-and-white anything is the fastest way to my heart. But the exquisite cut of this suit would make even basic brown polyester look amazing. I adore the cut of the jacket, the oversize three-quarter sleeves (makes room for bracelets!) and asymetrical lines. I'm sure Gwen Stefani has already ordered one.


Recently I started making a flared skirt with some awesome electric-blue wool houndstooth fabric I bought a year ago. I got bored halfway through and didn't finish it, which I'm thankful for now, since there's enough material in the unfinished skirt to start a new one. I have fallen in love with the simple elastic-waist miniskirts from American Apparel (my long-waisted, short-legged physique needs the illusion they create), but I would never pay $30 for something I can make myself with seven dollars and a half hour with a sewing machine.
Pics soon.
