A Quick Reminder of Why Clothing Can Be Art

Mary Katrantzou has only been out of fashion school for 2 years. Her Spring 2011 line is nothing short of inspired.

Also, can someone please feed the models?

An Ode to the Mustache

I heard a rumor that people don't kill people, mustaches kill people. I call bullshit. If one thing's going to save the world, it is the mustache.

I'm Just Mad About Saffron

It might be a little last season but that never hurt nobody. Recently I have become pretty infatuated with mustard yellow clothing. I think its a great fall transition color as it's still sunny but a bit darker than the bright colors of summer. Paired with a smidge or red lipstick and some brown Oxford lace-ups and you've got yourself a look.

Endless Summer

The end of September felt like the end of July- I even saw an ice cream truck! After adjusting my wardrobe and accepting sweat as a constant and unavoidable companion, I really enjoyed the sunshine this weekend. Some highlights of these last few days: yoga on the cusp of a forest, eating berries, seeing old friends from my Oaxaca program, Ben's Chilli Bowl, Eastern Market Fall Street Fair, a killer sunset on the mall, National Museum of American Indian dance festival, David Bazan at the Black Cat.

Architecture Crush

Never before has Andy Samberg's seminal masterpiece "I'm on a boat" filled me with so much yearning. Because the only thing better than being on a boat with T. Pain is chillin' in a house boat on Lake Union. Also reason infinity why I love Seattle.

A Good Day for Balloons

If I were mayor, I'd invite everyone to have free boat trips on the river and free balloon rides over the city. I'd let the elderly in residential homes wander free. -Jane Birkin
