7.11.2009

as i'm talking my words slip to the floor and they crawl through your legs and slide under the back door










(Rayban aviators, layered Forever21 necklaces, vintage slipdress, Forever21 wrap cardigan, eBay claw ring, vintage stone ring, Noir crystal accented ring, Miu Miu wedges, Alexander Wang backpack)

My Miu Miu wedges which had to be ordered from the Seattle Nordstrom (sale pickings are slim apparently) arrived this week, and though Colin keeps on mistaking the pink shoebox they came in for a donut box and being met with disappontment every time, they've otherwise brought great happiness. I've been looking for patchwork done right for what feels like and probably isn't ages now, and they are ittttt. Now to find myself something patchy in dress format before summer's end and I will be a happy little pseudo-bohemian.

Hi to everyone that came over from Kenza's blog after she made a sweet and kind of funny post about me. I've been following her blog since last spring when my dear Swedish readers told me I looked like her and that I had to check out my twin..let me just say I WISH hahah, the girl is gorgeous, as well as being really sweet. Colin's judgment is that I look more like Jessica Alba and she looks more like Jessica Biel..hmm weird. I think we just have very similar coloring..but anyway nothing but love for Kenza.

1. i like you're hair like that, you should do it half up more often!
2. love the new jewelry/rings - i was totally eyeing that claw ring on ebay the past week!
3. did you do something different w/ ur make up? it looks more neutral/nude for some reason.. maybe it just goes w/ ur cardigan beter. idk, but i like it!
4. love the wedges & sunnies.

Gee (did I actually say "gee"? Must stop reading "Lolita"), I love this cardigan, and the shoes look great. Not to mention the jewelry. And the fact that when I first saw the pic outside the laundry place, I thought it read "Colin laundry". Ekhm.

I'm surprised by the wedges, they don't seem very you, and that vintage 'dress' sure looks like a nightdress! That Kenza girl is really beautiful.

okay, so i don't normally comment, but i had to share a little story.

i was browsing the barneys 70% off sale earlier this month, and after a long line of shoes, finally saw a pair i could consider for these summer days.

a split second later, i remember thinking: "i could see rumi working these."

the shoes = the miu miu wedges.

haha. /story

Suzanne said...

Great outfit!

Rosa said...

I like the way you look more than Kenza, though she is pretty. You look more unique. She kinda looks like Leona Lewis if you ask me.

The outfit is great, the setting is interesting, and I love your ring collection. Your hair colouring is doing much more for you these days.

The only issue I have with these photographs is your posturing. As a photographer I find your body language in a few of these shots to be awkward and forced. I would love to see some more natural shots.. and please smile more! You are beautiful.

soooo cute!

I didn't peg you for a Saves The Day fan, haha. Nice.

I think the inside of the laundromat made for a great contrasting background. I wish you had done some more shots in there, possibly sitting in a laundry basket. They would've been really interesting.

Miss Mille Crepes said...

do you do your nail polish every day? that color matches the rest of your outfit so well! I'm a huge fan of your blog, been stalking through the archives :)

Some of these shots are nice. But you look like Jessica Alba? Pleaseeee! She is my idol and I don't see the resemblance between you two. Harsh to say, but she is a mix between sweet and hot. And you are not. You are probably sexy if anything? And your twin is a lot hotter. She have the real spice and very photogenic. She is a lot more attractive as well. I am sure many will agree as well as yourself.

Anonymous said...

No offense, but I don't think U look like Jessica Alba at all. Like the rings anyway...:) When r we gonna see U in brunette hair?

Wow, you are her twin! It is NOT just your coloring, it's everything. You totally have the same lips for sure. I think her face is a little bit more feminine though would be the difference since yours is a bit more boxy.

nice pictures :). But I don't think you look like Kenza at all! I dont know why people keep saying that. You are beautiful in your own way and she in her own. Totally different faces.

And Jessica Alba? Nah man not at all! And Kenza totally not Jessica Biel. You just look really asian. Pretty in your own way. Keep up your awesome blog :)

Roz said...

Great photos, as usual :P
My favourite has to be the one of you sitting in the trolley, its really humorous but looks great at the same time! Whoever takes your photos is obviously talented.
And the brown cardigan is pretty, it really matches with the shoes. As far as the jewellery goes, its all nice, but the one I like the most is the blue ring. Lovely.

Oh yeah, I noticed that one of your favourite books is Catcher in the Rye. I love that book! It's one of my favourites too.. Out of interest, have you read the Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath?
