the muse...

image: www.frejabeha.blogspot.com

They say every artist should have a muse. Well, at the point that I'm ready to consider myself an artist, I'd make the lovely Ms. Freja Beha Erichsen my muse in a heartbeat. The Dorian Gray to my Basil Hallward, minus the whole soul transfering into the painting mess. Adding spice to a world full of token leggy blonds, season after season, she's walked every major runway at fashion week. She's got some 18 tattoos (which automatically scores major points in my book). She's got this badass, laid-back street style...leather jackets, tees, and black...lots of black Androgyny. Edge. A great smile. And....that swagger...damn. The girl is beautiful and all I'm saying is...I'd kick it with her.

Decarnin is AMAZING!

Enough said.

The man can do no wrong. Seriously, every piece, from the distressed army green skinnys to the sequined military jackets, is perfection! I'll take one of everything, please! Well, a girl can dream...

Beautifully Grotesque

As promised, here is the first installment of a little style series inspired by memorable Johnny Depp roles. Depp is known for his edgy nonchalance, his intriguing, dark beauty...his unassuming swagger. Whether its a curious boy with scissors for hands, a swashbuckling pirate, or an overzealous candy factory owner, Depp manages to bring humanity, charm, and style to every character.

So, what better way to start off the official Halloween season (which I'm totally stoked about, by the way) than with the movie that inspired this style series...

Depp's Sweeney Todd look is old England meets rock'n'roll...as only Burton and Depp could do it. The denim/leather combo is spot on for Fall 09, as are the lace-up boots. In the film, Todd also wears this incredible denim waterfall jacket I can't stop thinking about. I guess the quest begins for my Sweeney Todd jacket...

Tim Burton's latest creation...

is his incredible editorial showcase in Harper's Bazaar's October issue - a haunting fusion of style and art. Dark, intriguing, and beautifully twisted...the editorial not only showcases fall's latest runway trends, but Burton's trademark standard of quiet, grotesque beauty. No Johnny Depp, but nonetheless, the spread is whimsical, and humorous, edgy, eerie, and completely stunning...classic Tim Burton!



Check out the full editorial HERE.


I just re-watched Tim Burton's Sweeney Todd last night and have been inspired. Johnny Depp's interpretation of Todd is absolutely fantastic. The man wears the most amazing denim jacket and double-breasted vest. Stay tuned for a Depp-inspired style series...

Shoe Line-Up

I was perusing Anthropologie's fabulously whimsical site, as I usual do late at night, and came across this image on their main shoe page. For some reason, I'm just totally amused by it. Funny how the slightest rotation of a shoe can create so much personality. If you ask me, it was the blue boot...in the closet, with the rope. I guess in a shoe line-up, my "Most Wanted" would be:


So hot, yet so elusive. The search continues for affordable motorcycle boots...

Sole Mates

Bare your "sole" with these great little Louboutin "Love" flats (available at www.net-a-porter.com). Quirky, yet romantic. These shoes make me smile.
