when winter defrosts...

"I want to do with you what spring does with cherry trees."

"Who writes your name in letters of smoke among the stars of the south?

Oh let me remember you as you were before you existed."

"You can cut all the flowers

but you cannot

keep spring from coming."

Art Smith

modernist jewelry circa 1962

From the Village to Vogue

Art attended Cooper Union, and lived and worked in Greenwich Village and Harlem. Hey! you know where that is too? cool. great bio here.

"Patina" Necklace

“A piece of jewelry is in a sense an object that is not complete in itself. Jewelry is a ‘what is it?’ until you make it relate to the body. The body is a component in design just as air and space are. Like line, form, and color, the body is a material to work with. It is one of the basic inspirations in creating form.”

-Art Smith

"Galaxy" Necklace and earrings 1962

Pretty and shiny. What's that bird that loves sparkly shiny things? I am that bird.

Beautiful glam. These are more like sculptures, to me, than jewels. Wearable sculptures.

"Metallic Boa" Necklace 1964

Inspired by Calder's mobiles. fancy that.

"Lava" Bracelet 1946

This one is attractive. In a different way. In a

gothy,

art-nouveau-y

way.

I am in the market for new shoes. I have the sad task of replacing the best ankle boots I ever bought. Like the genius I am I decided to wear them the night the sky took a big blizzardy poo on the lawn that is NYC. For those of you that remember that fateful evening of Dec. 20th.

Alas. that is in the past! So now I move on. I am looking for black booties. not open toe. ones that are good for winter AND spring. The Dancing kind. The kind that hurt you feet. yes.

Because of my undiagnosed ADD. The search for these very specific shoes have led me through mountains and over rivers. and visa versa.

Somehow I landed at the Opening Ceremony shoe page...

The next question is-

Which personal belongings must I sell to get these???

black and uhh...

VELVET!!

for those of you who never got me a christmas present. act now. make it fast, make it swift.

redemption is a click away!

One of my very dearest lady loves: Lindsay Jones Diamond Bones played this song during our cabin escape over New Years. I finally found out that it was Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros.

Diamond Bones, too, is in transition between her manic panic plum hair and some incarnation of pony pastels. Inspiring ruby, fearless heartshine*

In my hair this morning...

I dyed my hair earlier today for the very first time!

It's only a little Pony's tail from the bottom layer of my hair. More to come. For now, the rest has been left "ah-naturale." (sp?)

It is pastel violet and is currently in a little pony braid.

The rest which has been retouched is Alice Dellal inspired with the side shaven so the rest can be flipped over like a pony mane. nayyy.

*The shades are pretty incredible too...and yea, I guess the garb.

Y O U.

I found this goodie bag from first finding this sweater from Fashion Squad. It is Dries. So then I went to Dries, and watched her Autumn/ Winter Womens 09/10 runway video.

The runway was beautiful but sometimes I am even more captured through sound than anything. This was the case.

Listen to the music in the video. Because I have been on the most effed up sleep schedule (neither west coast or east coast time) I have been able to sleuth through blogs better than any blog-savvy Nancy Drew.

((No direct link to runway video so go to Dries site and clickity on vid link there.))

Enjoy Babies.

cabin fever 2010: garçon manqué

Haven't posted in a few days. Christmas and New Years hoo-rah. Lake Tahoe with beautiful friends. A blue moon, sparkles.

The house was completely new and unfurnished but we didn't need much else aside from one another, some champagne, yeaa a few smokey treats and just enough quinoa.

Staying up all night, sleeping in and then doing it all over again. the majority of our time was spent lounging like mermaids in front of the fireplace being all classy-like.

In the meantime I stumbled upon Sonia Rykiel's SRTW2010

(yes. 2010.strange)

So much is working. Palette. Shades. Attitude.

all images from style.com unless posted otherwise lads and ladies.,'.,

She's got the swagger of an old hollywood star. sunset blvd. style. 30's via the 70's. LOVE.

SONIA RESORT 2010

These Socks. Holy Hell.

All so wearable. lovable. huggable, f-ckable. yea.

Maybe I just love these pieces because of the sexy ankle socks, or maybe I am on a seventies binge. REGARDLESS, someone needs to get me on a resort with Sonia.

P.S.

A few pieces from RTW2009

Gowns of which. fly.

I am a bird and that is all. oogle.

I am going to purchase a crimper. tomorrow.

and turn into a beautiful bird like these ghosts.

and Old Lang Syne,
