B Store
I bought these B Store Triangle heels for my birthday, and I have to say they suck to wear. The back of shoe digs into my achilles or bone or something and really messes up my walk. I can't wear them for more than fifteen minutes. I have to wear tons of pads and band aids around my heel so that I can wear them for longer. It's sort of worth it in that they are super cool. I love the strip over the toe and the extended corners on the heel. The intermingling of the different textures (patent, matte leather, quilted leather, smooth leather, red leather, black leather, the tension in the laces creates a very pleasing shoe. But probably the most uncomfortable shoe I have ever walked in.
Artificial Golden Snake
I've been meaning to post about this Amarillo thrift find for a while. It's a golden snakeskin print jacket/windbreaker/dress.It's super amazing, and I can just imagine an older excessive Dallas woman taking a jog with her visor and big gold diamond rings on with it. I only wish I could look like that all of the time. The snake-skin fits in nicely with the raw nature animal energy that I have been taking a liking to in my clothing lately.

If Excessiveness and Gaudiness had a Roberto Cavalli Jacket:
FOUND
Roberto Cavalli vintage leather big shoulder jacket, self made galaxy print cape/skirt/one shoulder dress and donut bracelet. I've been real into galaxy print things ala Peter P.- something about being serious with something so silly and science fair -esque that makes obsessed. I found it in an Amarillo thrift store.

Slice Me Nice
I've been having a bit of a romance with cut-outs lately. Maybe its my love of Will's fashion society dress, or maybe its Preen's new collection or maybe its the nipple reveal at Pugh AW09, but I can't stop making slits in things. And yes I realize that American Apparel is ripping people off with slit leggings.
Shirt 1
Polka Dot Cut
House of Holland for Levi inspired, I wore this to a party last weekend. I love how the circles look on my shoulders. MMMM.
Shirt 2
This one is Gareth Pugh inspired. I made this double sided. The first picture is a spine with rib cage abstraction, and the second is a crop with different sized strips stretched to look like tubes. I wore this to a metal show in Amarillo. The hood is Levi. Will and I are a little obsessed with dead animals. Hip hip hooray for coyote faces.
Tights
These tights are Gareth inspired. I just ripped the hell out of them. It's actually quite fun to make runners, it just takes a while to get them to complete shreds. They look delicious though. I think with soo many rips they are no longer grunge, but take on an entirely different entity.
Shorts
I did this in a few minutes before this photo shoot I did with my friend Jam. They look like shark gills.
I'm really bad at keeping on subject but here are some more shots of our trashy delicious styling:

I think the shift towards cut-outs, for me, is an answer to the over kill of structure. Similar to the sex-theme fashion, the idea of the absence of fabric to show the body as oppose to distort it is very alluring. I know that structuralism will be around for a while, but this shift towards skin and the body is a nice break.

Fashion Drone
I would like to start by apologizing for my laziness and and lack of posting. I have been in a bit of a rut for the past month, as some pictures will reveal the MASSIVE amounts of Rockstars and sickly eyes. But I'm back.
A fashion drone is a person who wears all black (but not in a Hot Topic goth, or real goth sort of way- I would say in a progressive way) and whose looks could kill. They live at Oak. As much as I can't stand them, I have a need to be one sometimes. Something about wearing all black in a minimal interesting way just tempts me too much. I bought this ultra ridiculous Complex Geometries hood dress. It's really a quite fantastic design in that it is all one seam. When I went back to Amarillo my friends told me I looked like a dark Virgin Mary nun, and for me the hood is an interesting addition to the apathetic/ being mysterious fashion world. I know I blab on and on about coverings of the face, but I think mystery does magical things to the aura of an outfit.
I also went to the IF boutique's basement sale (I will forever torture myself about an un-purchased $200 AMAZING Comme Des Garcons dress) and I bought this Ivan Grundel cardigan. The ruffles and asymmetry do remind me of CDG, though.
A final addition to my new fashion drone outfit is this Diana Orving jacket. The sleeves aren't exactly as they were... seeing as I caught on fire at a party and I had to re-sew one sleeve. But the volume of the sleeves is too good to be true. And it's suppppppppper comfortable (and apparently very flammable). AND it resembles fat rolls. Who could ask for more?
