It's ART



Art museums have a reputation for being totally staid and boring. How could you think this looking at this happiness mobile in the IMA foyer? I guess this artist also makes giant balloons for parades and I really don't think this means the Macy's one. There is a new Eames chair exhibit, nothing super fresh but they have a fun side workshop where you can make your own. Thanks Ken! I need to get me some of them numbers for my yard, y'all

Have you ever been somewhere, possibly lost, and you look around and realized there is a whole other world of language and style and mentality that you will never understand or fit into? Not that this is a bad thing, I'm just sayin'. I checked out this sneaker store in Bro Rip "Got Sole". Fun kicks with a little attitude for your bad self in a graffiti bedecked setting. OK, When I shop for shoes I want something that will make my feet look small and my personal self look cute/sexy. This is not the store for this type of mentality. It about cool, which, quite possibly, I am not. There are many familiar brands like Reebok and Nike and just unbelievable color combinations. I was attracted to this green and periwinkle argyle patterned low Nike but the realized I had some Tretons with a swoop just like it. I was hoping to see some of those famous limited edition like A Bathing Ape gets, but alas. Happily the price points are reasonable, topping out at $150. This Yo! MTV Raps sneak is their best seller. Fun, huh?

Trouble


There is nothing better then drinking a margarita and wearing a headband, don't you agree?

I went to an estate sale today and saw my future. In this crappy apartment this woman had closets and closets of 80's Armani & Ellen Tracy, her bookshelves were full of shoes (good idea!) and most of it still had the tags. Is this what i will become? I mean, lets not get crazy, I would never own a Michael Simon snowman sweater but all the unworn stuff really got to me. Just sad. Wear your clothes!!! Every damn retro dealer in the city was there so there was nothing fun left to buy of household

Where is my big giant Vogue??


Growing up, the best periodical time of the year is when you would get your huge Seventeen Magazine back to school issue. It would signal the beginning of a clothing anxiety unlike any other. Now I anxiously await my huge September Vogue, Elle, In Style and W amidst the fears I have let my subscription expire. Will I need to pay the cover price this time? Lately, in various waiting rooms, I have been reading a lot of Teen Vogue and Teen Cosmo (crazy sex magazine for kids?? whatever) and I have to admit the fashion portion has kept my attention but I could do without the Was I Red moments my tampon fell on the floor in front of my crush's dad. I had to transfer schools twice so I will not be subscribing

All blotchy from my facial but aren't these shoe cute? Kensie from a million years ago, obviously since they are size 8 and I am pushin' a 9 now. This skirt is the only green thing I own and these shoes the only yellow/green so they get paired by default
