How to kick butt:

1. Buy either Rodarte’s, Jil Sander’s, or Alexander McQueen’s shoes for Spring.

2. When your lunch money gets stolen or your neighbor tells you to turn down your music, make a permanent dent in the punk’s head.

These photos of Devon Aoki and Bjork remind me so much of one another and are both shot by Nick Knight. I wonder if it’s intentional that they are so similar-looking? If one is a play off another or if they’re not even supposed to relate to each other at all?

I don’t know why but these looks from Spring 2010 remind me a lot of the The Virgin Suicides (book not movie.) The first two are kind of creepy and innocent and the last is sort of sad and rusty and feels like a reminder of an ideal unfulfilled. Love this book, love these looks…

I just love this color combination and raw, natural-feeling textures mixed with quiet glitz.
