When: Friday (I’m in love), July 11th, 2008.

What: James Cured by Seun jeans, white lace-trimmed tank from Mimi & Coco, plaid blouse from the Gap. Black patent and gray suede belt with silver hardware from Tristan. Mary Jane wingtip shoes by Linea Paolo from Nordstrom and various silver jewelry (clang-clang-clang) from Juniper Tree and Spoiled in Oakland, CA.

Confession: As soon as I slipped my shoes on and made my way to the door this morning, M was all “YAH! Shiny punk rock cowgirl!” and I looked at her, pursing my lips. I didn’t realize I was emulating (snicker) a cowgirl look. Quite frankly, I ripped the whole concept off a DKNY ad, but you know what? COWGIRLS UP!

The shiny comment was with regard to all the noise caused by my wristwear (that term drove me nuts when Lucky or Elle or whoever the fuck decided it was OK back in late Winter/early Spring ’08, and I use it here mockingly) – a pile of hammered silver bangles with a massive silver pyramid bracelet that clacks loudly whenever I move my arm abruptly. Like a teacher banging a ruler down on a desk.

Denim-only Confession: Can we talk about denim? This hurts me, because I have around $1200 in Blue Cult jeans loitering in my closet, and I can’t wear them. I CAN’T WEAR THEM. They are one inch smaller in size than the jeans pictured here. Just the one, and that inch (it’s an angry one, cue Hedwig!) is the difference between nice and snug and hugging my revered ass just right, and offending people and making fancy denim lovers everywhere cry for my pants. O seams so stretched, O dry-aged organic denim tortured with thy thighs! For some reason, I have another pair of the Seun jeans in the taunting smaller size, and they fit me just fine. Hmph. I am going to the gym now.

Side note: I don’t know WTF is wrong with my camera, but my pictures from this week don’t feel as crispy as previous ones. I will tinker with it but for now: SONY, I FUCKING HATE YOU! Eat a bag of dicks. Here is a special treat for the charming Kelly Alice – a close-up of the shoes! She also suggested a shoe feature, which I hope to incorporate here very soon:

Hopefully, I’ll be back on Sunday with fun weekend outfits! I have special events (a date!), so OOOH!

When: Sunday, June 29th, 2008.

What: Same as on horseback from Jenner-by-the-Sea, Part II, but topped with a b/w striped scarf from Collection 18 and a striped sheer v-neck sweater from Tristan.

Confessions: I loved that fucking Tristan store in Manhattan so much. So did M. Anyway, I’ve got that sweater in white, as well, as a few more things. M & I have matching fancy shield crest things, too. (Gay. So gay.) We went on a major, major hike after our horseback ride. We found the creek (“crick”), fell down a steep ravine and hiked the creek back for about a half-mile or so. It was awesome.
