The mockumentary, Paper Heart stars the adorable Charlyne Yi and follows her on her journey to figure out the definition of true love. She interviews people all over the US to uncover their stories and even ends up finding what could possibly be a love of her own (hello Micheal Cera). I watched it twice in one day and might even go for three... depends and how adventurous I'm feeling.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/TAYAN7kFuwI/AAAAAAAAAfk/AODbir8Tkp8/s1600/yi.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/TAYAN7kFuwI/AAAAAAAAAfk/AODbir8Tkp8/s800/yi.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478066236070148866" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/TAYANdH5f6I/AAAAAAAAAfc/c4bs6sVEr4Q/s1600/paperheart21.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/TAYANdH5f6I/AAAAAAAAAfc/c4bs6sVEr4Q/s800/paperheart21.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478066227898843042" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/TAYANAQ3E6I/AAAAAAAAAfU/KqT7SBduxYQ/s1600/2009_paper_heart_003.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/TAYANAQ3E6I/AAAAAAAAAfU/KqT7SBduxYQ/s800/2009_paper_heart_003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478066220151804834" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/TAYAM_-z_UI/AAAAAAAAAfM/NOth8T1-tzw/s1600/2009_paper_heart_002.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/TAYAM_-z_UI/AAAAAAAAAfM/NOth8T1-tzw/s800/2009_paper_heart_002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478066220076105026" border="0" /></a>Cortneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03588447150806879033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856019244081110524.post-27843735876267897962010-05-31T00:02:00.000-07:002010-05-31T00:44:51.239-07:00FILM NOIRand this is why i am determined to master the dying art of film photography...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/TANgMyTpkkI/AAAAAAAAAfE/wb9Op_mKDbs/s1600/Picture+2.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/TANgMyTpkkI/AAAAAAAAAfE/wb9Op_mKDbs/s800/Picture+2.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477327344591540802" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/TANgMmEb7PI/AAAAAAAAAe8/Cmi-y5XcJT4/s1600/Picture+5.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/TANgMmEb7PI/AAAAAAAAAe8/Cmi-y5XcJT4/s800/Picture+5.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477327341306506482" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/TANgLxpniII/AAAAAAAAAe0/8GPe6Y-nofA/s1600/Picture+4.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/TANgLxpniII/AAAAAAAAAe0/8GPe6Y-nofA/s800/Picture+4.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477327327235377282" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/TANgLlXzxWI/AAAAAAAAAes/zFwD8CvKOfk/s1600/Picture+1.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/TANgLlXzxWI/AAAAAAAAAes/zFwD8CvKOfk/s800/Picture+1.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477327323939456354" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/TANgLPKRs1I/AAAAAAAAAek/2twxUGG7Vfg/s1600/Picture+3.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/TANgLPKRs1I/AAAAAAAAAek/2twxUGG7Vfg/s800/Picture+3.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477327317977117522" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:85%;">After thoroughly searching all the blogs I follow I still cannot seem to figure out where these are from.

You can check all the maps you can find, but that land is hidden deep within the pages of Danny Roberts' sketchbook. This talented California based fashion illustrator is a graduate of Academy of Art University and has successfully developed a unique style that distinctly separates him from other prominent artists of today. His pieces take you to a place where love is magical, fashion is effortless and everyone looks like they have just escaped from a dollhouse. In the past Roberts has worked with Forever 21, Lancome and has also created the bright eyed girl who is the notorious icon for BlogLovin'. However one of Robert's biggest achievements has occurred recently- within the last two weeks to be exact. Danny's brightly colored yet intimate portrait of Alexander McQueen was used as the cover for what is sure to be a legendary issue of London's Sunday Times Magazine. While this may be a highlight of his career, don't expect it to be the height of it. Roberts, age 24, is merely in his early years and only he knows what whimsical worlds are to come.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S_zeSYegxXI/AAAAAAAAAec/jFZShHL84m8/s1600/sundaytimesmcqueencover.jpg"><img style="display: block;

Similar to Tim Walker's notoriously whimsical photos, Mike Bailey Gates is a 17-year-old fashion photographer living in Rhode Island. Already getting an incredible amount of press (including a mention on Urban Outfitter's blog), Gates is inevitably destined to create a fairy tale story that is entirely his own. Using vast amounts of light and New England's enchanting scenery, his photographs capture not only the delicate innocence of youth but also the dark, haunting side of adolescence that is all to often lost in Friday night football games and school dances. <a href="http://mikebaileygates.com/index.html">Click here</a> to take a look at all of his photos.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S6cVxbx1F6I/AAAAAAAAAaM/1ZGlzQC3npU/s1600-h/mikebaileygates_17.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S6cVxbx1F6I/AAAAAAAAAaM/1ZGlzQC3npU/s800/mikebaileygates_17.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451349812969805730" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S6cVw5EncMI/AAAAAAAAAaE/3ps8OtwrIwg/s1600-h/mikebaileygates_14.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S6cVw5EncMI/AAAAAAAAAaE/3ps8OtwrIwg/s800/mikebaileygates_14.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451349803653361858" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S6cVwkIk7cI/AAAAAAAAAZ8/4Opbm13KCvg/s1600-h/mikebaileygates_5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S6cVwkIk7cI/AAAAAAAAAZ8/4Opbm13KCvg/s800/mikebaileygates_5.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451349798032829890" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S6cVwBkU0XI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/VtanpKfH0Lk/s1600-h/mikebaileygates_4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S6cVwBkU0XI/AAAAAAAAAZ0/VtanpKfH0Lk/s800/mikebaileygates_4.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451349788753973618" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S6cVv0GJvAI/AAAAAAAAAZs/5u6mV0o6C84/s1600-h/mikebaileygates_1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S6cVv0GJvAI/AAAAAAAAAZs/5u6mV0o6C84/s800/mikebaileygates_1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5451349785137757186" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; ">all photo credit: mikebaileygates.com</span></div>Cortneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03588447150806879033noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856019244081110524.post-22844623577913469692010-03-17T13:17:00.000-07:002010-05-22T10:45:13.121-07:00LITTER BOX BANGLES<div>If you've been on the hunt for some seriously chic, rock-star inspired accessories, look no further. <span style="font-weight: bold;"><a href="http://www.littersf.com/index.html">Litter</a></span> Jewelry, based in San Francisco has everything you'll need to stand out in even the most fashionable of crowds.

Shot 15 minutes away from Swinton's home in east Inverness, the video is an oddly intense, beautifully scenic film that creatively shows off a few new looks from the company's spring/summer collection. <br /><br />They have also released another film which premiered at Milan Fashion Week to celebrate its return to Italy. Animated by David Shrigley, this video is much less dramatic and rather an outrageously humorous, behind the scenes look at what goes into the making of a Pringle of Scotland sweater. <br /><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" white-space: pre; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:10px;"><object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/RkzrpUEwH70&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/RkzrpUEwH70&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object></span></div><br /><object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OoiW5-uA3_E&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OoiW5-uA3_E&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></embed></object>Cortneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03588447150806879033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856019244081110524.post-5137010460419163362010-02-14T21:56:00.001-08:002010-05-22T10:43:17.475-07:00SCENIC CANDYSince returning to my cozy shoe box sized dorm room I have had to leave cable television behind (bye bye Lost). So its safe to say I have been watching my fair share of movies lately and have seen some truly breathtaking ones recently. So while I feel like a terrible fashion follower, doing a post on movies when its fashion week, I figured, what the hell. Here's a little bit about A Single Man and Grey Gardens....<div><b>A Single Man:</b></div><div>Tom Ford has my infinite approval as a director. His novel style of filming is filled with ultra-dramatic slow moving shots that prevent you from doing anything besides staring intensely at the screen, wide eyed in pure amusement. The cinematography has inevitably been the focus since the movie's release, but beyond the strong colors and revolutionary shots, there is a deeply, touching, dark story of a man coping with the death of his soul mate. The intimate scenes and conversations are overwhelmingly powerful. There have been a decent amount of good movies this past year, but A Single Man is not a merely movie, it is a true film.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3o_ezmiSmI/AAAAAAAAAWs/GLHJ8bcH3qs/s1600-h/a_single_man01.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3o_ezmiSmI/AAAAAAAAAWs/GLHJ8bcH3qs/s800/a_single_man01.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438729298483759714" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3o_eqL7QRI/AAAAAAAAAWk/30Wq7muYsk0/s1600-h/a_single_man20.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3o_eqL7QRI/AAAAAAAAAWk/30Wq7muYsk0/s800/a_single_man20.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438729295956230418" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3o_eOONkoI/AAAAAAAAAWc/1fGm1qdfxXk/s1600-h/a_single_man23.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3o_eOONkoI/AAAAAAAAAWc/1fGm1qdfxXk/s800/a_single_man23.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438729288449626754" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3o_dr8GjMI/AAAAAAAAAWU/Vt42pudiudo/s1600-h/a_single_man11.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3o_dr8GjMI/AAAAAAAAAWU/Vt42pudiudo/s800/a_single_man11.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438729279246863554" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3o_dZaBIaI/AAAAAAAAAWM/nJ0ESRW3qp0/s1600-h/a_single_man09.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3o_dZaBIaI/AAAAAAAAAWM/nJ0ESRW3qp0/s800/a_single_man09.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438729274272063906" border="0" /></a></div><b>Grey Gardens:</b><div>Based on the 1975 documentary, HBO's latest success is a somewhat disturbing story of Little and Big Edie Bouvier Beale, mother and daughter (also aunt and cousin to Jackie Kennedy) and their fall from glamorous, high society life, to living in squalor in a home considered to be unsuitable even for animals. Regardless of their dire economic situation, Big and Little Edie continue on as though they are blissfully unaware of it all. They spend hours picking out the perfect outfit, make sure their lipstick is flawlessly applied before answering the door and when Mrs. Kennedy decides to drop by, they invite her to relax in their garden made of dirt and dried brush. Regardless of the rural living conditions, the cinematography and costumes are quite phenomenal.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3pIBfgxuuI/AAAAAAAAAXc/Ciyu3gW0YIs/s1600-h/Picture+6.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3pIBfgxuuI/AAAAAAAAAXc/Ciyu3gW0YIs/s800/Picture+6.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438738690479340258" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3pHU8yAPqI/AAAAAAAAAXU/1-niU4UH0bs/s1600-h/Picture+33.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3pHU8yAPqI/AAAAAAAAAXU/1-niU4UH0bs/s800/Picture+33.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438737925242109602" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3pHUfI0muI/AAAAAAAAAXM/kB5EatSqXow/s1600-h/Picture+32.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3pHUfI0muI/AAAAAAAAAXM/kB5EatSqXow/s800/Picture+32.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438737917284752098" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3pHTsgc2jI/AAAAAAAAAXE/F_vAiyji3Nk/s1600-h/Picture+9.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3pHTsgc2jI/AAAAAAAAAXE/F_vAiyji3Nk/s800/Picture+9.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438737903693650482" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3pHStTECdI/AAAAAAAAAW8/SWkld4K-5tc/s1600-h/Picture+39.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3pHStTECdI/AAAAAAAAAW8/SWkld4K-5tc/s800/Picture+39.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438737886726064594" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3pHRpHykRI/AAAAAAAAAW0/aqmm2nK2GcE/s1600-h/Picture+38.png"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S3pHRpHykRI/AAAAAAAAAW0/aqmm2nK2GcE/s800/Picture+38.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5438737868425171218" border="0" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Photo Credit:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Aceshowbiz.com, The Wiestein Company, and HBO</span></div>Cortneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03588447150806879033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856019244081110524.post-55713889613730860082010-01-29T13:50:00.000-08:002010-01-29T20:42:27.274-08:00BATMAN COUTURE<div>No need to find a radioactive spider for those powers you have been longing for, this fall we can all be superheroes.

The new issue is titled, "The Size Issue" and pays tribute to bodies of all sizes from the mini Dakota Fanning to Push's curvy star Gabourey Sidibe. It also features multiple stories on Marthe Lagache, Dianne Brill, and bodybuilder Lisa Lyon most all of which rose to fame in the 80's, a time when curves were actually encouraged.<br /><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>My favorite part of the size issue was a spread photographed by Terry Richardson called "One Size Fits All". It features Jacquelyn Jablonski and the voluptuous Cyrstal Renn modeling the same outfits in the similar poses, vividly showing that the latest fashions can look just as good, if not better on a real woman than a size 0. <div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>And so while I am quite aware that this issue has been run to the ground, I figured why not stomp on it one more time. What I don't understand is that ever since the rise of Kate Moss' "heroine chic" everyone talks about how dangerously skinny today's models are; but instead of returning to the fit, yet slender figures of late 80/90's supermodels the issue has seems to have gotten worse, hiring 14 years old girls and then telling them they are too fat for the runway. Designers have said that they prefer size 0 models because the clothes look like they are on a hanger when wore by them, but aren't clothes supposed to accentuate the female form? </div><div> <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>While it will certainly take a lot to increase the numbers on the model scale, with enough persuasion having boobs and an ass might one day be a considered good thing again. However until then enjoy these pictures of the lovely Cindy Crawford, Naomi Campbell, Lara Stone and my favorite spread from V's newest issue. </div><div><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S16DgVsuVEI/AAAAAAAAAT8/GbJOr-Act8c/s1600-h/V_magazine_1"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S16DgVsuVEI/AAAAAAAAAT8/GbJOr-Act8c/s800/V_magazine_1" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430922792259179586" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S16Df1tAfKI/AAAAAAAAAT0/_p6kJe7l0Rw/s1600-h/v_magazine_3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S16Df1tAfKI/AAAAAAAAAT0/_p6kJe7l0Rw/s800/v_magazine_3.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430922783670434978" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S16DfN7-mhI/AAAAAAAAATk/f__6LXEyDgw/s1600-h/naomi_campbell_11.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S16DfN7-mhI/AAAAAAAAATk/f__6LXEyDgw/s800/naomi_campbell_11.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430922772995807762" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S16DeiBldOI/AAAAAAAAATc/hEJywAcHL6o/s1600-h/cindycrawford2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S16DeiBldOI/AAAAAAAAATc/hEJywAcHL6o/s800/cindycrawford2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430922761208165602" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S16Ebu5jzEI/AAAAAAAAAUc/anICh1mrPSU/s1600-h/cindy102xd.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S16Ebu5jzEI/AAAAAAAAAUc/anICh1mrPSU/s800/cindy102xd.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430923812636183618" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S16EbXSqZoI/AAAAAAAAAUU/oS4myfLAiz4/s1600-h/herbritts.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S16EbXSqZoI/AAAAAAAAAUU/oS4myfLAiz4/s800/herbritts.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430923806299022978" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S16EbMiBMyI/AAAAAAAAAUM/f-J5gK9G974/s1600-h/lara_stone"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S16EbMiBMyI/AAAAAAAAAUM/f-J5gK9G974/s800/lara_stone" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5430923803410641698" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#0000EE;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="text-decoration: underline;"><br /></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">photos from VMagazine.com and models.com and google images</span></div><span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"> </span>Cortneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03588447150806879033noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856019244081110524.post-4076955045977965422010-01-17T00:55:00.001-08:002010-01-17T14:44:48.358-08:00MUSE OF THE MOMENTHello Miss Abbey Lee. This Australian beach bum is possibly my favorite model at the moment. I don't know about you all, but I am always quite shocked to find that models are real people, and not just these tall, beautiful foreign creatures. I think the idea is so perplex to me because they portray all these personalities on the runway, in magazines, on billboards, that I see them as so many different people, my brain cannot keep up. But I am in love with Abbey because even though she has posed for everything from Victoria Secret's Pink line to an edgy editorial for i-D, I somehow can still get an idea of who she is as a person. I also really like her personal style because it says a lot about her, which is really what fashion is all about, portraying bits of your personality through your clothes. Anyways enough of my absurd late night thoughts. I seem to have turned into an insomniac and so have apparently lost my mind a little bit. So in case you haven't completely skipped over my verbal craziness already, here are some of my favorite shots of the lovely Abbey Lee Kershaw.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S1LRivphAEI/AAAAAAAAATE/y6slnsYLWUo/s1600-h/126113_565.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S1LRivphAEI/AAAAAAAAATE/y6slnsYLWUo/s800/126113_565.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427630895771222082" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S1LRiCw6GCI/AAAAAAAAAS8/NT-ERqrgeRE/s1600-h/abac1ff06f725917_3921769041_e63ecc4dce_b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S1LRiCw6GCI/AAAAAAAAAS8/NT-ERqrgeRE/s800/abac1ff06f725917_3921769041_e63ecc4dce_b.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427630883722631202" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S1LRh8n0DQI/AAAAAAAAAS0/qxo-AqT3fqg/s1600-h/abbey-lee-kershaw-style-270409-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S1LRh8n0DQI/AAAAAAAAAS0/qxo-AqT3fqg/s800/abbey-lee-kershaw-style-270409-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427630882073873666" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S1LRhsSqdHI/AAAAAAAAASs/ypsek8o6GUU/s1600-h/abbey_id_magazine_1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width:" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S1LRhsSqdHI/AAAAAAAAASs/ypsek8o6GUU/s800/abbey_id_magazine_1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427630877690197106" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S1LRhQ9Bi6I/AAAAAAAAASk/Xxax_xKTDhU/s1600-h/abl2bo8.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S1LRhQ9Bi6I/AAAAAAAAASk/Xxax_xKTDhU/s800/abl2bo8.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427630870351678370" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S1LS9DKHMeI/AAAAAAAAATU/U2Kmg7MdN90/s1600-h/victoria_secret_abbey_lee_2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S1LS9DKHMeI/AAAAAAAAATU/U2Kmg7MdN90/s800/victoria_secret_abbey_lee_2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427632447196443106" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S1LS84k039I/AAAAAAAAATM/Ub4pH5Vq2rw/s1600-h/tumblr_kt217eZCWZ1qaotj1o1_500.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S1LS84k039I/AAAAAAAAATM/Ub4pH5Vq2rw/s800/tumblr_kt217eZCWZ1qaotj1o1_500.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5427632444355698642" /></a><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">all images found on google image se</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">arch</span></div>Cortneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03588447150806879033noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856019244081110524.post-47288004496359044502010-01-13T22:15:00.000-08:002010-01-14T15:43:27.189-08:00SANTA IS GOING TO KILL SUMMER<div>Between Alexander Wang's blacked out collection to Proenza Schouler's Ivy League chic look I am in pre-fall bliss, and so have decided it would be best to for everyone to skip summer and just move directly to fall. I believe in this season skip so strongly that I have made a list as to why it would be best.</div><div><b>Reason 1:</b> With my sudden objection to all things pants, fall's "who need pants, just wear tights under anything look" works out perfectly for my wardrobe.</div><div><b>Reason 2:</b> I can save everyone from bikini diet stress. You can eat as many cookies as you'd like and even save one for later, just stick it in the pocket of your new Pringle of Scotland coat.

Filled with little green men, crazy eyed clowns and clay eating spaceships, this is somewhere I am looking into visiting. I discovered Schulnik a few days ago when I watched the latest video from one of my favorite bands, Grizzly Bear, which she directed. The whole video is stop motion animated, loaded with blasts of color and completely creepy. However even with a weird factor of about a 9.5 it was incredibly captivating. I watched the whole thing in awe. After a brief google search I found she is a graduate of Cal Arts located in my not so exciting hometown of Valencia, CA; and while she does have a number of short films under her belt, she is also experienced in multiple forms of media that are just as inspiring. So if you happen to be cruising through Overland Park, Kansas make a point to stop by the Nerman Museum of Contemarary Art where her work will be on display until March. However if a road trip to Dorthy's hometown is not on your to do list this month, here is a taste of Allison Schulnik for all you homebodies. <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/S01oFaAYrtI/AAAAAAAAAQs/ZdpsZLu0JxQ/s1600-h/allison_schulnik_7.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Style.com recently posted their favorite dresses of '09, and while I do agree that most of their choices are fantastic (as they should be, after all it is style.com), I myself am partial to a few of my own favorite looks of this past year. So, without further adue, here is <span style="font-style:italic;">my</span> 10 best dressed of the incredibly uplifting year that is 2009.

I am a fashion journalism student living in San Francisco. I figured since about 90% of the world's population have a blog, I should probably jump on the band wagon, like the original person that I am. Most posts will most likely be fashion related, but I will certainly cover anything that interests/inspires me whether it be art, music, photography etc. Just to give you an idea about me, here are a few, or more like a few too many, pictures to summarize my favorite places/people/things etc...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_apzq_n1uMqw/SzckoEW47VI/AAAAAAAAAKI/ceycagBG9xw/s1600-h/xFX7HFUwdawimvh9NmQ2mTq8_400.jpg"><img style="display:block;
