My Style Heroes: Round Björk
I’ve been going through another Björk phase lately after 7 years astray. This time around, I’ve been paying more attention to her biggest misses (can we please collectively pretend Volta and the line about the “suicide bomber made to look pregnant” was a fever dream?) but have been ever more impressed by her biggest hits […]

Looking Like a Yankee: Buenos Aires Style 1/?
This is the first of any posts I choose to make about my impressions of Buenos Aires’ (more accurately, CABA‘s) style scene as someone who lived in New York City for seven years prior to moving here three weeks ago. My perspective is relatively uninformed (I barely speak Spanish [yet]), novice, and is based mostly […]

Fall Outfit Concept: Steal From Children
Hi! Most kids dress better than I do, including Child Me! Today, I’m sharing some concepts to fall back on this fall (or spring, if you’re in the same hemisphere as I am at the moment), inspired by kids’ fits (mostly mine) (I feel weird about sharing pics of children on my blog but I […]

Buenos Aires Fashion: First Impressions
As everyone is tired of hearing, I moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina this week, and since moving have been exhausted, still in pain from my sardine can of a flight, and very confused as to what the Argentine fashion scene looks like. One reason it’s harder to unearth than in NYC or Berlin is that […]

How To Dress Like a Studio Ghibli Character: Whisper of the Heart and Only Yesterday Edition
If last week we corrupted Studio Ghibli films into potential Indie Sleaze looks, this week is more in the Twee camp of Tumblr 2010-style looks. However, in classic Ghibli fashion, the fits are simple and practical enough (with engaging color play and special finishing touches) that you won’t get Z**ey D*schanel flashbacks while trying these […]

How To Dress Like a Studio Ghibli Character: Howl’s Moving Castle and Princess Mononoke Edition
Today, with a sickening crunch, my brain excreted the idea that Howl from Howl’s Moving Castle and San from Princess Mononoke could both be inspiration for Indie Sleaze looks. These magical films have meant the world to me my entire life. As a high schooler, I’d listen to Joe Hisaishi’s soundtracks for the films on […]

Designer Off Duty #2: Anamaria Morris
If you have an Instagram account, you’ve almost certainly seen the work of Anamaria Morris, an artist/sculptor/visionary who creates pieces in polymer clay that have been written up in Architectural Digest, sold at Sandy Liang’s storefront, and lauded across every corner of home decor social media niches. Anamaria’s work first blew up through Instagram’s appreciation […]

More Masc Merch Mandate
This blog is gonna get shut down for using too many bad alliterative/punny titles. But before it does! Requested by many, including my own neurons, here is a good ol-fashioned Depop haul of more masculine-coded clothes, as I have been really givin’ it to the dress-wearers lately (if you are new to this blog, I […]

Fall Film Fashion Follies #2: Valerie and Her Week of Wonders
Valerie and Her Week of Wonders (1970) is an incredible film for late summer/early fall fashion guidance, because 80% of the film entails characters traipsing around in virginal, summery dresses and the other 20% involves accessorizing with autumnal shawls and capes. I might not be selling this very well as a film with, like, a […]

Fall Film Fashion Follies #1: The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and Hairspray
I made the below collage without really knowing what it meant. All I knew was that this was the “vibe I was feeling” for late summer/early fall 2022. The mood coagulated naturally around 4 films I love: The Color of Pomegranates, John Waters’ Hairspray, Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, and The Umbrellas of Cherbourg. […]
