balmain blingg

balmain ss 2011 is right up my inner 13-year-old's ally.  the insane mix of safety pins, studs, leather and ripped denim makes me thrilled that there is some deviation from the more structured silhouettes that we've seen for this fall.  also stoked that im still in college and can still pull these pieces off - there is a fantastic youth to this collection that i am sure we will see interpreted in a thousand ways as spring approaches!

 

woohoo for ripped jeans and sheer tights tooooooooo!! xx

play-thingsss

i have this fascination with polyvore - as i am sure every blogger has spent hours playing with layers over layers of every item of clothing you could imagine with a simple click of the mouse. as i sit here watching the season premier of dexter (i'm still a little miffed that rita actually died) i couldn't help but play with the site. here are some treasures - some i own and some i discovered and are now at the top of my search list! 

ps im really into bows right now. and lace. and those quilted leather shorts.

pps dexter gets real dark. dont know how i feel about that. xx
