farpitzs.
fyi: farpitzs means "all dressed up" in yiddish.
the latest band of outsiders polaroid-supported fall look book stars the very adorable spanish actress elena anaya. according to fashionista, anaya will star opposite antonio banderas in the new pedro almodóvar film, the skin i live in.
if, for some reason, you’re interested in watching a short video that involves models dancing to party music, then allow me to direct your attention toward the lanvin fall 2011 campaign movie. yessiree, it is full of spindly limbs, couture and pitbull’s “i know you want me.” just want you were looking for on a slow monday afternoon.
the house of holland fall 2011 collection reminds me of the various afghans and pieces of furniture that were strewn around my grandmother’s fort lauderdale condominium.
the asos fall 2011 footwear collection has been revealed and, i must say, my wallet has never been more terrified. my feet are already preparing for the pain that awaits them because all of the pairs shown above are calling my name. sorry, dogs!
with the latest karen walker fall 2011 sunglasses collection having just been released, i have a hankering to buy me a new pair, which i need like a hole in the head. but, like, sunglasses are an important accessory! they really do change the mood of your outfit! think about it — round sunglasses make you think of harry potter, cat-eyes are glamorous, ray-bans remind you of a chain-smoking, indie rock star. done.
note: i would apologize for the sporadic posting and all, but, i mean, i have a life.
mark your calendars: alexander wang plans to launch his limited-edition partnership with ebay this upcoming friday, june 17th. the small leather goods line was first introduced during his fall 2011 runway show. the pieces, which range in price from $235 to $525 and include wallets, coin purses and travel cases, will be available for purchase on the ebay fashion vault for a mere 24 hours, beginning at 12am cst/3am pst.
as i mentioned earlier today, the madwomen (i say that in the best way) behind dannijo, danielle and jodie snyder, invited me to visit their studio yesterday afternoon.
as a longtime fan of the brand, i was more than a little in lust with every piece i saw and the snyder sisters made sure to show me the highlights of their fall 2011 collection. i reflected that the overall line was a bit moodier than in seasons past, but still retained dannijo’s signature gritty glamor. many pieces were a result of a collaboration with swarovski elements and featured über-high-grade crystals, so the girls use oxidized brass to temper the glitz and allow said pieces to be easily dressed up or down.
the collection, titled “aboriginal,” gave off a vibe of fabulous midwestern women living and partying their faces off in the 1920s. watch the video lookbook for support on this idea.
while i was there, a childhood friend of danielle’s stopped by to have a necklace fixed; it was a pleasure to watch the designer at work. many thanks to jodie, danielle and neha for letting me invade their space. (did you know that they’re on tumblr? get on it.)
a bit of background information: i “accidentally” met danielle and jodie snyder backstage at the vena cava fall 2011 show. while telling terra about the dannijo for vena cava jewelry collaboration, danielle happened to be standing right behind me the entire time. needless to say, i was all sorts of excited and forced her and her sister to become my friend. that’s how i do. if i want you to be my friend, i make it happen.
without giving too much away just yet, i had the pleasure of stopping by the dannijo studios yesterday (during my lunch break; ya’ll should know that i don’t do fun stuff all the time) to check out what the girls have in store for fall. before allowing me to check out the goods, dani made sure that i had sat down, cooled off from the day’s heat and watched the video lookbook for the collection. she also handed me the not-yet-disseminated-to-the-public catalog of items that will be in-store by july.
check back later to see the result of my field trip to visit dannijo.
it is sweltering outside, i’m sure you noticed, so what is the perfect thing to do when you refuse to go out? watch awesome video clips. i provided one for you this morning, but here is another that centers around the dannijo fall/winter 2011 collection. it has a foot-tapping soundtrack, the models feature crimped hair and — obviously — the jewelry is sick. want more? you’ll have to check back tomorrow ;)
if you couldn’t tell from last week’s brief post, i have a little crush on any and all pamela love jewelry. seeing her fall 2011 lookbook (recently published on refinery29) has me salivating over the sharp, jutting crystals [in shades of white, blue and purple] and witchy pentagrams. the latter brings up an additional point: this upcoming autumn will definitely see some magical inspiration on the fashion front — think flowing maxi skirts, wide-brimmed felt hats and somber bruise-like shades — and i’m okay with that.
