New Bow Tie!

My friend who lives in Chicago sent me this super sexual Marc Jacobs bow-tie. When he asked for my address I thought he was just sending out christmas cards or something. Then I got a little package in the mail and when I opened it I was stunned/elated/planning outfits haha.

Here I paired it with a vintage gray Christian Dior shirt. The shirt is actually way too big for me to wear in real life but when I saw it at the thrift store I had to have it. I love the collar and the pleats on the sleeves.

In other news, the Fried Chicken and Champagne event was amazing! I had so much fun and drank my weight in champagne (oops). For some reason lately when I go to parties I've been kind of bored to death but there were so many interesting people here. I loved it! Unfortunately, I drank a little too much and by the end of the night I ended up sitting on the couch reading the hostesses Tom Ford for Gucci book, from what I remember it was amazing. I couldn't really read that much of it though because there were kids all over the place reading Harry Potter and such and we all know the types of ads Mr. Ford favors lol.

Lastly, Lauren visited for New Years and we had the time of our lives (pictures to follow)! She also bought me a super amazing xmas gift that you will be seeing soon!

Bye Lovers!

EDIT:



I realized that you couldn't really see the color of the tie that well in the first pic so I just took this one. Isn't it a great tie? Ughh... the level of clownery is out of control lol.

(I know I have horse teeth don't make fun of me)

Decisions Decisions

In this first ensemble I'm wearing a tartan shirt, rep stripe tie, and oxfords (all vintage) along with Gap shorts and a Banana Republic belt.




Here I wear a the same vintage oxfords, and Gap shorts. I also wear a children's school uniform shirt that I purchased at Kohls for like $1 or something ridiculous, vintage suspenders, and a vintage Oscar de la Renta tie.

Ok, so these are the two outfits I've came up with for the much anticipated "Champage and Fried Chicken" event (ha). After looking through the pictures I think I like the one with suspenders best. However, I do love how the rep stripe and tartan play off one another... hmmm? I think the suspenders make the out fit a little bit more special. These shorts were actually women's pants from the Gap that I had tailored into shorts. I think all of the shorts I wear used to be pants except, of course, my pleated balloon shorts (you probably see these soon).

Unfortunately, I have to work at 10AM and then go straight from work to the party so I have to decide what to wear by 9AM. Ugh, so stressful.

Thrifted Shirt, Thrifted Tie.

This is a shirt/tie combo I recently bought. I was getting ready for work and decided to have an improptu macbook photoshoot. It turned out kind of shitty but don't you love the pattern on the tie? It's so 70's...I die. It's vintage Pierre Cardin. The shirt is vintage as well. I thought they looked nice together. The watch is from Urban Outfitters, I mean Rolex, clearly. Now, off to fold clothes and organize mountains of ballet flats for 94875 hours.

I am SO SO excited for this new years eve because this lovely young lady is going to be visiting me here in bustedville...




We will be attending this masquerade...



ahhh can't wait... what will our masks look like? Maybe Viktor & Rolf Fall 2008?



see you all there!

Blazers and Loafers

Here I wear a blue velvet blazer, pink pocket square, Dior belt, and Cole Haan loafers, all vintage. I wore these items with a white v-neck and gray skinny jeans, both American Apparel.

I like all the contrasts in this outfit. The loafers, gold watch, and pocket square are very preppy, however the fit of the blazer and jeans combined with the fact that I don't shower makes me look like a yuppie gone bad. It's as if I'm the child of a former Lehman brother employee... I mean...

I wore this to my family's Christmas party where I proceeded to hide a handle of vodka in the bathroom and take shots periodically throughout the night. This way I didn't really care that a few of my family members were looking at me as if I was dressed ina space suit or something. It was a splendid good time if you ask me!

In other news, I am still kind of confused as to what to wear to this party I have to go to this weekend. I found out that the theme is Champagne and Fried Chicken (is it spnsored by Dsquared? I mean...). I'm thinking short shorts, oxfords (no socks), my school uniform button up, and one of those Oscar de la Renta ties I have... probably the blue and red one. We'll see what I come up with.

later lovers

I didn't update yesterday because I was busy...

Busy playing and drinking... this photo sums up the day/night:


I'm wearing my new blue velvet blazer and pink pocket it square but you can't really see them that well.

I'm going to try to take some better pictures of it and my new ties and such later on tonight.

bye bitches

I Will Be Doing This Soon...

The Facehunter posted this image a few days ago. I love how he used a simple handkerchief as a neck tie. I'm going to do this as soon as I find an appropriate opportunity.

In other news, I will be attending a holiday party hosted by the owner of a local upscale retail store here in bustedville and I haven't a clue as to what I'll be wearing? I REALLY want to wear a colonel tie but I feel like these people are older and will think I'm a lunatic if I wear a colonel tie. Maybe, I will suppress my clownery, or maybe I won't?

I shall update with photos of my outfit whenever I finalize the details!

bye sex muffins!
