This week’s inspiration: the shoes. These are by Nicholas Kirkwood x Keith Haring. I’m not sure if you know this or not, but I am absolutely crazy about Keith Haring’s work and message. So when one of my favorite shoe designers uses the work of the late Keith Haring, you know I’m all for it. I’ve been in love with these for quite some time now. I wear a 8.5, but a 9 is best if you are feeling charitable ;p

Look details
ACCESSORIES: Kate Spade Dotz Bib Necklace, Pree Brulee Azimuth Seafoam Crystal Bracelet, MiMi Sorrelli Gold-Tone Edgy Cuff, Alexander Wang Diego bag.
APPAREL: Philosophy di Alberta Fefretti Shearling Coat, Ribbon Polka Dot Split Blouse, L.A.M.B. Black & White Vest, ACNE Best Trouser.

COUNT ME IN TOO

I finally said yes and accepted the invite to Pinterest. I know, once again I am behind the curve, I cannot believe that Pinterest gets more hits than Google in a day. With 84.6 million hits on Google, the almost three year old site has swept the globe with pinning.  Also rated the fasted growing site in history to break the 10 million unique visitor mark. Mind blowing and very cool, yes.  I get it, it’s fun, at first  but my after a few minutes of pinning I’m bored. I also may not be the best pinner because I don’t want to share my images from my personal vault of goodness for someone else to view it, save as their own and then share like they’re the one who initially found said image. I’m greedy and secretive like that.  Anyway, your thoughts?

DOMAIN, MAYNE

Here’s the deal, I do not have a domain address. I know, what a snail sinking in quicksand on that one, eh? So, I need help, I cannot use jenniferfarris.com  because I’ve been beaten to it by someone else. Not really sure if using a .org is where it’s at.  Suggestions are always welcome.

I’m stuck, what do I do?! I need a proper domain, mayne.

HOARDER OR PACK RAT?

I think I have convinced myself that I am a HOARDER. Maybe a less severe hoarder, possibly a pack rat? I never intentionally meant to do this, but I am starting to think I am one of the two. A mix of both? Not like things are out of control, I’m not in any health concerns about keeping the things I’ve kept and my social life is perfectly fine. Though, while in the process of apartment hunting with the boyfriend anxiety did arise. The anxiety then turned into embarrassment and the embarrassment then turned into shame. I’ve shamed my own self from something I thought was normal.

I have all my binders intact from that Fashion Merchandising program I started in 2006-the time of graduation in 2008. I have the same from my Fashion Marketing program from 2009-2011. I have stored them in my kitchen,  in case if I had to reference back. Well, I haven’t yet referenced anything yet and it is now 2012. I have some in Rubbermaid bins at my mother’s house with more school papers, for “just in case” I had to reference back.  With that being said, here’s a quick list of the “no-no’s”:

1.) Binders of old college material cataloged for later reference use. I haven’t had to yet, but….
2.) Clothes. Sensitive subject because you know how that goes. Sure I have a lot of clothing with the tags still on them and shoes I’ve only worn once. But there really IS a perfect time when things can be worn. I think what I need to do is stop purchasing items that have to wait for that time. More functional pieces when purchasing.
3.) Boxes of stuffed animals. Large Winnie The Pooh & Friends, giant Hello Kitty, etc. I want to SEE what they are in case if I want to keep anything. Then donate the rest.
4.) Rubbermaid bins 4 of Kid Robot and other various companies of collectible vinyl toys.
5.) Sneakers. So not even into these anymore.
6.) Barbie collection. I have a large assortment of collectible Barbies starting from 1989 that have continued on for a whole decade. Even after I outgrew Barbies, I was infatuated with collecting. They were never going to be taken out of the box to be displayed or play with. They were just going to stay in the box…for, well who the fuck knows why. Also See #4.

MONAY STYLING (LATE)

I was too busy last week and then too busy yesterday after work to schedule the post. Forgive me, will you love?

So I feel that lately my inspiration has of course been spring. With dreadful and soggy winters here in Seattle I’m sure you cannot fully understand my adoration for the following seasons. Let me continue before you start to call me a whinny cunt.

I put this look together because it can go directly from day to night. Work straight to dinner with the girls or a night out with a special or a not-so-special-person-of-the-moment. The look def has a lot of spring influence with the obvious floral print body suit and the pastel blazer. Speaking of pastel, I really cannot wait for pastel color blocking!  That is, if I can muster up the gonads to stray from my beloved black, red, grey and leather….going to be a tough one but I must.

THE LOOK: A.L.C. Zoe Blazer, Dolce & Gabbana Peony print matte body suit, heart necklace designer UNKNOWN, Raw Rock stone ring, Dries Van Noten Pepa Pants, Christian Louboutin Echasse Mirrored Metallic sandal, See by Chloe Twirl leather handbag.

BAGS ON BAGS ON BAGS

Jennifer Farris’ Fab Five Bags at the moment.

So last night I was having dinner with my 3 Amigos and of course, shopping is one of many topics at the table. Handbags being one of them.  So after a couple suggestions, it got me thinking about bags and what I’m currently feeling. In no particular order because they are all so fabulously fantastic.  Am I right or am I right?

 

 

1. Alexander Wang Diego Bucket. HELLO! Chic, edgy and major functional.  The bottom rigged studded bottom of the bag is the cherry on top. I need.

 

2. Givenchy Medium Nightengale. I actually despise the color blue. I feel that with my olive skin tone it just doesn’t do it for me. However, I’m never opposed to blue accessories. Plus this hue is going to be major this upcoming season and will stick for a while. Plus unlike a lot of other Nightengale bags this one has the metal hardware logo. Tiny, elegant and beautiful.

3. Chanel Classic Flap Bag. Which needs no introduction. I will say this though, gold. Yes.

 

4. Balenciaga Arena Giant Rose Gold. A damn classic right here. I have two, both are the Motorcycle.  I would like all styles and in almost in all colors. I am waiting for the day that damn kelly green or as Balenciaga liked to call it ‘grass’. The color was magnificent and breath taking. I love the simplicity and functionality of Balenciaga and am a true believer that all handbag lovers need to own one of their own….or many.

 

5. Celine Luggage Mini in Python Black. Again, no introduction.

 

For a top five list, I believe the list is completely and utterly flawless. Oh, opinions. What are your top five must-have bags?

And he’s back with the Haper’s Bazaar Exclusive of Shit Fashion Girls Say at New York Fashion Week. Totes Amaze.

“UGH COBBLE STONE”

“If this look doesn’t get me on a street style blog, I give up.”

“She said she was wearing Jason Wu….it was Jason Wu for Target.”

“I don’t do standing.”

“These are cab to curb heels only.”

“I’m worried they’ll think we are PR because we are in all black.”

Don’t forget the gems where it all started.
