mixtape #9

 
         "They didn't want it good, they wanted it Wednesday."-Robert A. Heinlein

mix tape #7

This sentence from Theodore Roosevelt to start the day. I thought would be nice. I can't promise daily mixtapes... so let the day begin.

Pra começar o dia, essa frase do Theodore Roosevelt, que eu particularmente gosto. Dia cheio de coisas para resolver, aula, números e biblioteca. Bom dia pra vocês!

mix tape #6

Faça chuva ou faça sol, nada como entrar no  espírito de "Alta Fidelidade" (High Fidelity), com o John Cusack, e começar o dia com uma boa coletânia a la Rob Gordon! Quem ainda não assistiu o filme tem que assistir - ou ler o livro-  e fingir que os ipods não existem e que ainda existe uma emoção em fazer coletânias e dar pra alguém que você goste! 

we're back!

 

Depois de um mês de férias estamos de volta! Algumas fotos das férias pra vocês entenderem porque não tivemos tempo de postar! Espero que gostem! E a partir de agora estamos de volta!!! 

A couple of pictures from last month, so you understand why we couldn't post as often as usually! More pictures after the jump!

movie du jour: The Shop Around the Corner

The Shop Around the Corner

This romantic comedy is based on a manuscript written by Nora Ephron (director, producer and author of the screenplay with her sister, Delia Ephron), the film is an updating of the Ernst Lubitsch "The Shop Around the Corner" to the Internet Age, starring Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks and  following the squabbling and romance of two competing book retailers on Manhattan's Upper West Side, the movie is a must see.  It was a great option for a Monday evening.

JIM HERRINGTON

Jim Herrington has taken pictures since he was a teenager in North Carolina, when he met and photographed the big-band clarinet titan Benny Goodman. Since then, Herrington has lived and worked in Los Angeles, New York, Nashville, Santa Fe, and East Berlin, which might account for the cool statelessness with which his work proceeds.

I haven't seen any blog as creative as hers. I am in love with her photography and paints. Why don't you take a look yourself and let this wonderful lady amuse you?

proenza schouler pre-fall'12

Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough's recent trek through the Himalayas rubbed off on their pre-fall collection. We can see the magazine photo shoots now: Proenza Schouler girl on the side of a mountain in a nylon and mesh color-blocked shirtdress with bungee cord detailing, and on her feet, rubber-tipped pumps.

As sporty and technical as their reference points were—tweed jackets modeled after mountaineering parkas, button-downs made from windbreaker nylon, quilted coats that took cues from sleeping bags—the collection was quite polished. Here's another good example: The silk jacquard of a matching bustier top and skirt was an aerial view of mountains that they pulled from Google Earth, but looked like it could've been crushed velvet. The Velcro closure on the wrap skirt kept the tech-y couture motif going.Riffing on house classics is a proven method for the ten-year-old brand. This season's take on their signature bustier baby-doll dress comes with a performance mesh shell and a bungee cord drawstring below the bust. It has starlet-on-the-rise written all over it. Their New York cohort, on the other hand, will be pleased to see their tweedy lady jackets in bright shades of coral and emerald green, as well as a handbag offering in iguana leather, a luxe new material for them that's pricier than python but not quite in crocodile territory.

Incredible India

Traveling far to exotic, very difficult to get locales gives me almost as much pleasure as a good Louboutin stiletto or a vintage Chanel anything.  For years I have been dreaming away about trekking to India, for instance, a place brim full of wonderful history, architecture, spirituality and color.  I have been told that spectacularly bright color can be seen every which way you turn in the spice markets, the textiles, the saris, the beauteous hand crafted bangles. . .

So, you can imagine my delight to see, as the Pre-Fall 2012 collections have started to trickle in over the past two weeks or so, that more than a couple of the big guns – Chanel, Rag & Bone and Jason Wu to be exact -  were inspired by the delights, culture and history of this magical country when crafting their collections for pre-fall.
