oh THAT's CHIBI!!!

genius behind  chibi vs. the world, KVA, reveals to the world who CHIBI is!
(warning: the following is SUPER DUPER CUTE.  do not operate machinery. sit down. prepare yourself!)

AAAAAAAAHHH  too cute!!  wasn't ready!!!!!!

thanks kva-- these are blindingly beautiful

sparkly pumps by balmain!  they are so pretty.  i want other people to wear them so i can enjoy viewing them ...  am i getting old? all i want to wear are these dansko sandals i have.  theyre more comfortable than being barefoot.  serious.  here's a compare/contrast. 

HELLO MOTO for the wealthy

kva found this

L.A.M.B.

look, she's sporting harem pants! w/no shame!

rebecca minkoff

Les Queues de Sardines

not available ANYWHERE...in the u.s.  boo.

ONLY available at three frenchy websites:  www.upfactory.com, www.suicidalshop.fr, www.greenky.fr

thanks kva!  there are also cool ones with ants crawling all over them, but i couldn't get the picture off the site because i'm apparently  "TROP TARD!!!" ---they're out of stock and can't even let you take the picture anymore (or something).

HELLO MOTO part deux

PRPS

PRPS grey leather (on forward)

RAG & BONE bowery leather moto

Helmut Lang

combo cracked moto

kinda unrelated to moto:

this snowboard jacket by Holden is what i want.  it is super-insulated and has warm hood, apparently.  it is on sale.  it is still cold and i'm getting a really wussy phobia of going outside.  i want to wear something that feels like a huge puffy sleeping bag but looks like a cropped mini moto.  HHAHAHAHAHAHA.  i just cracked myself up.

ah, this looks springy, and while we're off-topic

SEE BY CHLOÉ

belted parka on lagarçonne

and, again, off-topic:

Proenza Schouler

perfect one-button blazer

kva needs assistance

YES to prada studs:

where do u get these awesome shoes (+tights!)?

Does KVA really need this bag [that's on sale at kate spade for 30% off]?  vote please.  vote now because supplies are limited.  i vote YES. reasons: untrendy, black (best non-color color), multi-use (shoulder strap AND cute little handles), cute like kva.

sooo cool: SPIEWAK

why do i like these "uniform" companies?  first, there's dunderdon --workdresses and coats...

but that's easy explained:  they're from göteborg, second largest city in SWEDEN...

but they also have a store..in SOHO of course:

(wait, maybe i just want to be tall and swedish..? (is that redundant?))

do i want to wear a uniform?   life would be easier and i could wear the above everyday for sure..
hmm. anyway, look at the spiewak website.  it's beautiful.  so simple and perfect. and not swedish!
i do want to wear a uniform i think. but only if it's dunderdon or spiewak.  but not the cop uniform. (anyway, that's probably illegal).

sonntag coat

so beautiful isn't it...

the men's stuff is really beautiful (er..handsome) too:

the meade, dugan and thoreau are the best of the men's coats.

oh and the mckenzie:

women's hawthorne:

[ how can puffy coat be so appealing ? ]

i think collar turns into hood too (functional and beautiful)

most of the above pictures i stole from alterbrooklyn-- other than the official spiewak website, they have the best pictures of the coats.  (the pics on karmaloop make the coats look like fashion tragedy, horrible)

maybe i'd just like to look severe in the winter or something... or wear something durable and not something that after two washes it looks all shabby (my closet).

i also found a vintage spiewak coat (70's) on etsy.com (the only item listed with "spiewak" tag--i'm lazy to look it up!).   it's on sale for $68 i believe.  i think it demonstrates how the classic style (though pattern/color maybe a little anachronistic..i mean, "retro"..) endures. (is-actually-durable!)

 someone should buy this coat and then take a picture and then send it to me because i want to see what it looks like actually worn..(risacake@gmail.com).  maybe someone in michigan maybe...(hint hint: kva! no, she only wears burberry! (i don't think she'd wear any other plaid, not that she's a snob; she's just fine-boned, tiny, and wears only burberry. ha ha. no, it's true.))

even their logo is cool:

golden fleece!

they also designed this, which i don't really want to wear..(maybe...kva?):

haha.

all the women's coats are good, ALL of them!

if/when you go to the spiewak official website you will see what i mean!

(unfortunately i cannot steal pics from there!!)

the following three are 50% off at thegiantpeach.

 the angry little girls pencil is also 50% off at thegiantpeach!

"boy-chaser" ha ha.

also these vital items: (where is this store? ohhh..alameda, ca... SO.CAL knows my vulnerabilities!)

"NINJAPANTS"!! finally:

i admit i bought this ninja shirt from cafepress:

burberry--only for redheads, apparently!

well, according to saks fifth avenue

this dress is cute huh. someone give me $795 .

in the 10th grade i wrote a persuasive essay called "Life is Easier for Tall People"--it was so persuasive (there was a ton of data) i got all depressed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

this is just dumb. (i can't afford it either, of course --why is everything $795? --but really, it's dumb. your arms'll get all wet. oh but burberry people probably have drivers, duh.)
