details












I need to post more often! Argh. Lately, I've been in school from sunrise to sunset making it difficult to get back home on time to snap photographs with ample sunlight (if any) left. By the end of the day, my eye bags are also practically drooping to the floor. Not a good look. Here are a few detail shots from today. Less of me, more details.

Talking about details, last night the boy and I went to see A Single Man. It is a breathtakingly beautiful film of the protagonist's last day. Perhaps beautiful to the point of distraction. I found myself narrowing my attention on minutiae: the scenes bouncing between fully saturated to nearly monochromatic, how the last button on cuffs were left unbuttoned, the perfectly folded pocket squares, the pink cigarettes. If that wasn't enough visual candy, Jon Kortajarena plays an aspiring actor/prostitute from Madrid. Aline Weber also appears briefly in the film as a sultry student in Professor Falconer's class. So good.

Wearing Kimchi Blue scalloped tweed jacket, vintage silk blouse, vintage leather shorts, Chanel purse, Jeffrey Campbell wedge boots.

it kind of looks like you're ice skating in the second picture!

so jealous of those leather shorts. whenever i try to look for a pair on ebay i get scared away by the results. maybe i'll do a search to exclude the words "booty" and "exotic." lol.

Eli said...

Absolutely great outfit. Those boots are to die for.
I am looking forward to A Serious Man, hopefully Robin and I will see it tomorrow! I have heard that it is almost overwhelmingly beautiful, to the point of distraction.

Crystal said...

Great outfit. Love how you even wore gray socks! Really pulls everything together. Yeesh...I'm so glad there's no snow around here. Couldn't imagine trying to make the treacherous trek thru powder in 4 inch platforms!

I loved the film too and made me nostalgic for the pink ciggies which I used to smoke.

one of the things i'll miss most about living in a 4 seasons country is being able to wear coats and stockings. absolutely gorgeous outfit you've pulled together here - love the wedges and socks esp.

A Single Man sounds like a beautiful film. i'll have to pick it up to watch.

Hmm, I've been debating on whether or not to get those shoes..afraid they might be a bit too popular for me but they're still so awesome !
As for A Single Man, I really want to see that film!!! Colin Firth plays such an interesting character...
