Staring at the Moon

Found Myself a Little Project

I saw these McQ by Alexander McQueen Draped T-Shirts on Gilt Groupe yesterday.

Seeing as how I'm a little strapped for cash after going after-Christmas shopping yesterday, I found it a little impractical to drop a chunk of cash on 3 t-shirts and I got a genius idea.  I'm going to attempt to make them!  They look pretty easy to replicate but I'm sure the design is deceptively simple and I'm a little bit of a perfectionist so yeah.... we'll see how they turn out.  

BTW I'm a little bit obsessed over affordable clothes with "Made in Italy" tags so I did happen to buy the red one.  

Oki-ni Spring-Summer 2011 Menswear Preview

 

I found this little tidbit in my inbox this morning.  Its a beautiful preview of the men's collections that are going to be available at Oki-ni soon....

Weren't the Thom Browne and Christopher Kane pieces just insane? They're gonna be at Oki-ni which, in my opinion; puts out only the best pieces.  They're clearing out a lot of their Fall-Winter 2010 items to make way for the new Spring merchandise so...looks like its time for me to go get some discounts.

Best Way to Sweat out a Fever!

I was finally strong enough to get out of bed today, so naturally; I did the first thing that you're supposed to do the week after Christmas....I went shopping :).  Obviously, all of the premier sales sold out of their best pieces (fast! Ex. Prada Gabardine Trousers for less that $200 at Neiman Marcus) but; I still got to shop at the next best place.  Thats right, I'm talking about Savers!

Here's a little pic of my shopping ensemble that I'm particularly proud of.

I know I need a haircut but isn't this look kind of Balmain-ish?

 

I was kind of disappointed because the pickings were unexpectedly slim today but, I did find a couple of little jems that I'm excited to show off.

Number one:

Bears a little bit of resemblance to....

Number Two:

Totally reminds me of.....

Needless to say; one can never have enough sweaters and although I prefer their designer counterparts, I'm still pretty excited to turn some heads :D.

Can't Get Out of Bed But, .....

Sorry that I haven't posted in a while guys. I've been lying in bed for the last two days with the flu, which is the perfect way to spend my holiday season!  Seeing as how these last 48 hours, I've been choosing comfort over getting dressed; I've worn the same pair of sweats for the last two days straight.  At the moment, they are really, really, dirty (absolutely disgusting). 

Now that I have a little bit of extra Christmas cash, there's a good chance that I'm going to splurge all of my money on these ridiculously amazing Dolce and Gabbana sweats that are perfectly chic enough to wear anywhere.

Believe me, I would be happy to have the flu and be able to wear these sweats all day, every day.  My flimsy Hanes pajamas are offering me no protection against the cold and this Dolce and Gabbana pick-me-up looks like the perfect get-up to usher me into a comfortable and luxurious recovery.

 

Its Almost Here!

Wow; what a long tiring Christmas Eve...I got to finish all of my Christmas shopping and present wrapping; as well as fit in a couple of episodes of Salad Fingers today.  Unfortunately, I was one of the few people who had to work tonight so I just got home from work.  But on the bright side, we are literally minutes away from Christmas!

I was reading last month's V-Man Magazine which I picked up at Barnes and Noble earlier today (can you believe that the Japanese version of Men's Vogue was $30!?) and I couldn't help but notice this spectacular piece of jewelry from Bevel NYC in the Borough Boys editorial.

Of course I'm a little obsessed now and I totally want this in my stocking tomorrow morning.

Their Ball Game collection is pretty interesting because it is based off of the Mayan Legend of the Hero Twins.  Im pretty sure if I'm gonna return all of my Christmas presents this year, spend all of my Christmas money, and sell my bone marrow to buy all of the pieces I really want from Bevel's collection, but; it's so worth it!
