Opposites Attract

Really, really sorry Borders is closing.  I thought at least they'd keep the one by my crib.  Fuck, damn it technology.  This seriously irritates me because going to check out new releases is fun.  At least there's City Lights Bookstore.  This reminds me of a recent conversation with a friend about technology fucking up the art of naturally making sound.  This led to turntableism and how amazing and rare it is.  Also the fact that it is so easy for anyone to be a musician and how scary that is.

Now, for something more pleasant, the promised art post.  This is part one of at least two other massive art updates.  Gosh it feels like I shot these ten years ago, but it was actually just a few weeks ago.  The other day while chillen in da dopest city in the world, I noticed that many of the pieces on the alley located in the Mission District were new.  I think I shot each and every one of them.  Some I photographed again even though they were old because I loved them too much the first time I laid eyes on them. 

Shout out to this dude for letting me take his pic.

is a bitch :)

I'm getting a wee bit ahead of myself, but I just can't resist looking through the Christian Dior 2012 Resort Collection. 

I'm pretty content at the fact that long dresses will still be around next year.  My closet has gotten plumper with my maxi dress section.  Once I get a light in there I'll photograph it because it looks pretty dope right now.  Everything is color coordinated and by style like I like it.

Before I forget, I went to check out Teatro ZinZanni and the whole experience was pretty surreal.  It was like I was warped back to the late 1800's and I felt a bit like Nicole Kidman in Moulin Rouge.  There is a strict no photo policy so I was unable to photograph the show, food (lobster tail!) and dranks I consumed (Bubbly and Pinot Griggio) but I can assure you that it was absolutely marvelous.  I really liked the woman who sang opera because I've always secretly wished I could sing like that and to my damn surprise the lead actress la Madame was Joan FUCKING Baez!!!  Amazing...

Uptown Girl

I've been thinking about getting shoes from Jeffrey Campbell and while looking through their website I came across their Fall 2011 Lookbook- Uptown Girl.  My favorite fall looks were the psychedelic and snake skin prints, so fierce.

<3 these shots too.

I have too many favorites, but I'm super digging the last ones because I know I would get the most wear out of them. I'm going to marinate a bit before I decide whether or not I want to fork out $125.  Hey, at least Solestruck has free shipping! ;)

Classy Ladies sip the Bubbly

Love that there was a heart in my Cappuccino. 

I wish I had thought of putting Champagne in a can before the Coppolas did and made even more millions.  It's probably going to take me a while to put together, but I've got a massive art post coming up real soon.  I have at least thirty photos to post and I'm having trouble deciding how I should go about this.  Stay tuned!

Touch My Lips

I don't think I could ever be a vegetarian, seriously.  Looking through photos of some of the meals I've consumed over the past few months made me realize that I pretty much order seafood every time I eat out.  Seven years ago when I stopped eating meat I thought about giving up seafood as well, but that thought remained in my brain for only a second.

The eggs had crab meat btw

This is the BEST crab I've eaten and one of the greatest, most memorable meals of my life

The guacamole had 2 oz of fresh crab meat

The last three photos are the same dish, cooked at three different spots

Can't Stop Myself

As if I have time to read, but I can't resist from buying a great book when I see one.  Here's my summer reading pile...

The other day I stopped at Kate Spade to buy glasses (I'm having the lens popped out and getting a super light prescription added) and decided to try on some gorgeous shoes.  

I've always loved this brand because when I first got into vintage I was into the 1950's and Kate Spade is very much inspired by this era.  I love the bold colors so much and not because it's a trend for summer, but because you can expect to see bold colors all year round from this brand.  I could spend hours at this boutique, I left truly inspired to revamp my space at home.

Happy first day of summer btw!!!  It sure was hot as fuck here!
