Farewell Bill Blass


Bill Blass recently filed chapter 7. After months of failing sales, the label was forced to liquidate their remaining items. The future of Bill Blass couture is unsure as the collection designed by Peter Som has yet to be released in stores. This is a really sad time in fashion.

Brandon Flowers-GQ














I thought this was something both men and women could enjoy. Nice tuxs and a good looking frontman.









Federico Erra












I think what most people are attracted to in Federico's work is the emotion in every photo.
He captures these beautifully candid moments of true emotion and beauty. It leaves you with this guilty feeling of having pried into a private moment not meant to be seen.

Kings of leon at Municipal Auuditorium




Aside from the circus, I've had little experiences at the municipal auditorium. The sound in the venue rivals any other venue in Nashville. I thought The Whigs and We are the scientists sounded great and I've never been a huge fan of either band, but I have definitely been converted to a whigs fan. Kings of leon were really good. They played a number of songs I hate, but that represents the quality of their performance, because I think it was one of the best shows I've seen from them regardless of that.

I've been to thousands of shows in my lifetime and I have to say that was one of the most rowdy concerts I've ever been to. I never expected to say that in reference to kol, but I've also seen few bands that big in a general admission setting. People elbowing each other in the face, cursing, and pushing all over getting a closer spot. I can't even begin to tell how ridiculous it was because I don't even have the time to devote to it.

A day of chinese buffet and thrifting













There are two things that I can always expect to bring me happiness; Chinese food and thrifting. Then add in a great friend and a perfect day is met. Patrick and I went to our local goodwill for some shopping therapy and to reveal the large events of weekend to one another. Patrick got these amazing, Thom Browne esque trousers and this 70s style, fur trimmed, trench among others. We jointly purchased this truck stop tshirt displaying a wolf and mountain on it and a balmain style blazer for our friend's bday.



I want to wear this corset over this dress.
