I suck at this game.

I started this blog to develop a routine of dressing well, and taking more photographs. I have been failing horribly at it. Maybe with more focus and less time daydreaming, I will one day get off of my ass and start photographing my clothes and the things around me like I intended.

In the meantime, I wanted to introduce the world to my BCBG Ella shoes. I just had to get them when I was in Las Vegas a month ago. I couldn’t resist. I fell in love with these shoes when I saw the runway photos from the Spring 2009 show… and now they are mine. Suck on that, bitches.

Alice + Olivia dress, BCBG shoes. I don’t care about what everyone else is wearing. Wow, we do love the party photos.

I wish I had better photos. I will soon. I wish I didn’t stand pigeon-toed in that picture. I wish my legs didn’t look so damn short. The list continues. Damn, these shoes are sex.

The beautiful Miss Nanna Øland Fabricius.

I am almost ashamed to say that I have not been keeping up with indie music this year. I’ve been immersed in underground hip-hop and electronica. Most of the finds I come across are through remixes (i.e., Little Boots, Bat for Lashes, and the like), so imagine my excitement when my friend Caleb recommended Oh Land to me during one of my angry “I-need-to-listen-to-Fiona-Apple” days! If you take the best parts of Björk, Imogen Heap, Lykke Li, and Lily Allen (the cheerful music, not her lyrics and voice. Oh god no), molded them into some love foetus, you’d get Oh Land.

I love this track, “Heavy Eyes,” and “Numb” off of her debut album, Fauna. You should check her out.

She’s a former ballerina!!! My love for her has suddenly increased exponentially…

Sweet lord, that schnoz.

I seriously can't see your other eye, woman.

I seriously can't see your other eye, woman.

I enjoy Lady Gaga. Her music is fun to dance to, and I love some of the shit she wears. I even like the fact that most days she doesn’t wear pants. She makes it okay to like the 80s and bring it back in full force.

But her nose drives me batshit insane. The combination of her nose + the (usually crooked) sunglasses + the bangs. But really, I’m really not one to talk, since I, too, have bangs and wear gi-huge-o sunglasses. But there’s a small difference between the two of us — the world doesn’t look at my face every damn second of every damn day. It’s not me being photographed being carried off by my entourage, drunk off of my ass, wearing my stupid big sunglasses, and tripping over my Louboutin pumps and having said pictures end up on every gossip website on the interwebs (just Facebook). And I have a reason for my bangs — I’m redoing my eyebrows. Then I’ll be growing this mother fucker out. I’m so done with trimming this shit every week and a half.

The skies were aflame with the sunset glow.

Coco Rocha in Milan

The photos from this past February’s Vogue didn’t do her justice. I LOVE her new color.

Oh, you're so sensible.

Oh, you're so sensible.

No, they didn’t join forces to do a track… yet. And I got lazy and didn’t want to make a graphic with both of them. I don’t have time for this Photoshop shit! I have other things to break and fix, at this place called “work.” And because of this great thing called “work,” I’ve been out of the music game for a while, these 12 hour days are killing me. (And yes, those were gratuitous links to the shit I’ve been working on.) I’ve had a pile of tracks in my queue to listen to, and finally got to them this week.

I’m currently digging these two tracks:
