They are so 70's. They are so comfy and soft and nom nom nom. They are so Loopholes You Can Stick Any Ribbon Through (I really want to try those twisty thingys you use to tie bags at the grocery store?) They are so perfect at showing what a great feet model I am. And the clompy factor on these is huge, what with the height and flopping ribbons, it's the kind of clunkiness I was so drawn to when I watched the video of the Louis Vuitton Spring 2010 show. Maybe I should also wear a giant afro with these?
2. I have a mild obsession with Prada lookbooks. I tried to go to Kinko's once to have one of the images printed on big fancy paper to hang up on my wall, but the girl working there was chomping on a Twizzler and staring at me like I was nuts for wanting to PRINT AN IMAGE AT KINKO'S MY GOD HOW STRANGE. Then she said something about copyright and I said it was for personal use only, and then she was all "why do you want a photo of a girl and an octopus anyway?" and I was all WHAT DO YOU CARE THIS IS KINKO'S PRINT MY IMAGE ALSO DO YOU HAVE ANY MORE TWIZZLERS I'M KIND OF HUNGRY.
Then I blogged about it, and hoped she would never come across this blog where a photo of a girl and an octopus does not elicit angry Twizzler-chomping or staring and is, in fact, welcomed! As are photos of girls with rainbows, and girls blending into buildings, and giant shoes on a beach, and - what's this? A Prada lookbook in my possession?! How lovely! Thank you, Prada! I shall sleep with it under my pillow every night in the hopes that I will wake up to rainbows and giant feet. Well, not giant feet, because feet tend to be ugly and smell. But rainbows! Chandelier dresses! Yeah!

These are my favorites, but more are in this Flickr set.
3. I have been very busy doing some room cleaning! Still! Except now I have shelves! From Ikea! They were on sale! You do not care about any of this, however, but I still felt like playing Selby and taking a few pictures of what I've arranged so far. It feels so fresh and nice and nice and fresh. Plus, some of these things are fashion-related and therefore relevant?
I have taken pictures of so many of these books and magazines to write about on here...and never gotten around to it. ACK! (When you click the photo there's a list of them.)
To think that I've accumulated all this within the amount of time I've accumulated all this is frightening. Who wants to get a pool going for Amount Of Shit I Will Have Bought By The Time I'm Fifteen?
My Lulas get their own shelf, though, mainly because they are they're own world. This is where I get really Teenage Girl On Tumblr Who Posts Sofia Coppola Stills And Photos Of Perfumes With Macaroons. But, that's okay! Because I enjoy it and feel like a fairy!

cool pez collection :D ...you just also inspired me to fix my room too, haha
well done dood.
Wow, amazing amazing! Those shoes look fabulous and rainbows=win.
Ummm copying me is not cool cos I got shelves in my room TOO!! Jk I haven't even taken pictures of my shelves yet... or put anything on them for that matter. Your pez lineup is so freaking perfectly colour coded... I love it.
<3<3<3
Lovely - have you checked out early versions of Jane Magazine -- Sassy version meh... I just discovered my stash which I must exfoliate forthwith... except the one with Monica Lewinski on the cover <3
PEZ DISPENSERS. HEHEHEHE. I want the Glinda one. And oh gosh, I was so obsessed with mary Poppins (Julie Andrews) for the longest time when I was a kid. I would have killed for that Barbie. :) PRADADADADA.
Love your platforms!

one of my favorite posts of yours in a while. except it really reminds me that I need to clean my room...and that I need those wedges...
LULA <3
twizzlers <3 <3
This is so inspiring! I can't wait until my brother moves out and I get to do whatever I want to his room because it will be MINE.
Sincerely,
Sarah from The Etiquette Cult
I'm from Australia. We don't have Twizzlers or Gap here, only Kinko's, dammit!! Although I think we are getting Gap in a month or two. I will be there with bells on to pick up those shoes.. and then probably be limping my way to the GP when I fall and break my ankle...
I'm glad someone else appreciates storing massive amounts of magazines like I do. My family rages because of the space they take up, but idc. I know what to show my Mom next time tries to throw them all away.
Um, as cool as those shoes/Prada lookbook images/etc are, I'm much more impressed by your Pez dispenser collection.
Pink is definitely the best flavor. Please tell me you agree.
I love love love your blog, it makes me smile!!! And I want your collection of Lulas!!!

Yes. I do believe the correct terminology is "Sick As Hell".well done.
"This is where I get really Teenage Girl On Tumblr Who Posts Sofia Coppola Stills And Photos Of Perfumes With Macaroons."
hahaha,omg SO TRUE.
Ahh, too awesome, I'll have to ask my dad tips on what to do to get things accomplished at Kinkos!
I still think the bow-hat is awesome.
Such a great post! Do you always organise your things by colour? Or just the Pez dispensers? Sometimes I do that with my shoes.
BTW, I have the hook up on getting something printed poster size. Just let me know =)
I SO am interested in this. I love to see where people live! I wish more fashion bloggers would post pics of their digs!
I want Gap in HK.
lovely shelves..but don't worry. i take pictures of perfumes and macaroons too! you're not alone!
i want EVERYTHING on your shelves! :O
Hey, you got the portable Dorothy Parker! I'm reading that now! Let's start a book club!
also speaking of NICE AVEDON BOOK WHERE'D YOU GET IT?
Also my room is such a mess right now, holy crap. I just brought all my stuff home from school so i have two bedrooms worth of stuff and just kinda...flung things everywhere. Also my bookshelf is overflowing so I started lending out all my really big books to friends so I wouldn't have to deal with it, because that's how I roll. And I'm like, "what's the point of making my room pretty when I'm just oging to move again" but then when I'm at school I'm all "what's the point of making my room pretty when it's just a dorm?!" moral: I need to get one of those apartment thingies.
"Anna I'm so very interested in your life, tell me more!" "Ok!!"
I just had SO MUCH coffee and now i'll never sleep. ok. if you ever go to vancouver there is this store dedicated to printing (they sell like, customised notebooks and typewriters and stuff) and they have this tiny little room that is FILLED with zines. And also little interactive art projects and stuff. You have to duck to get in but there's a little bench where you can just sit and read for as long as you like. It's like Narnia or something. Except I can't remember the name! I'm sure a Vancouver-ite here should know what I'm talking about, right? (bueller?!)
NO WAIT, FOUND IT! I AM AND CONTINUE TO BE AWESOME!
http://lowercasebooks.wordpress.com/about/
The portable Dorothy Parker! I approve SO wholeheartedly!
Also, your writing is impeccable - please please keep it up. It's so difficult to find good writers out there, much less writers who are under the age of 15!
AMAZING. Love your Pez Collection. I wish I had all of those magazines!
Your blog is amazing! Your clothes are amazing! You're amazing! We're all amazing!
Love Poppy
Follow my fashion blog, its just getting started : ) :

Best. post. ever. i don't know why.
Love the wedges! I need a pair of nice, somewhat comfortable wedges for summer and unfortunately there's no GAP in Zurich :-(
I'm a bit of an organizing freak (which is peculiar considering that I'm also messy) and I really like the way you organized your shelves!
Dorothy Parker and the hat. Brilliant.
And thank you for the booklist!
@chicspace
Epic sickness on the shoes. And the chandelier shoes. Yikes. I have crystals and will be scheming.
Yeah the wedges are CRAZY good. I can't get enough of wedges. At all.

The shoes are so cool. Sadly I don't know how the grocery thingies look, so I'm hoping you will show us your updated look, too. Congrats to revamping your room. I've got a hunch it might feature in some look book (or The Selby itself?) soon.
Ok those shoes are sickkk. Love your room and your collections!! And man, I wish I had an Ikea near me.

We have no Lula in Manila and I don't think I've ever seen one in any of my travels!
Anyway you are the charmingest of the charmingest Tavi!
1- i dig those pouty, prada rainbow galz so much
2- COLOUR-CO-ORDINATED PEZ!? mucho respect. also, we're pretty pez-deprived in australia. those wizard of oz ones are gag-tastic!
3- lula sofia coppola chanel lol
4- THAT bow.
the end.
(this comment probably won't post. it always says it does, then i get an automated email saying it didn't. PROVE ME WRONG, BLOGSPOT!!)
Your little feet look cute with the clunky shoes!
You're lucky..you get awesome shoes in the mail... All I get are bills, bank statements and.... occasionally wigs from ebay that I ordered. XD
I am a Prada lover!
Kiss!
i really love the way that you do everything, your posts, your photos, everything! it's quitte difficult to find someone who acts like you do in your posts! congratulations for your blog!
Awesome wedges! Love them so much! Great post!

ohhh those shoes <3
but my room needs a shelf, all my magazines are stacked randomly in one conrner. NOT good!

I like the last shelf that contains controversy. both the Dorothy Parker and Stephan Jones kinds of controversy are cited with examples. and the colour order pez are pretty fantastic.
nom nom nom. I strongly dislike you tavi. i die for those shoes. also your blog makes mine look pathetic. but that's no supprise.
If you're having a chandelier crystal moment, check out Amanda Pearl's vintage chandelier crystal pieces--necklaces, bracelets and earrings, oh my!

Rianna xx
I love wizard of oz pez dispensers! Your room is beyond cool, into freezing.
Wow! Great post! That Prada lookbook is amazing, I feel the same way you do about the collection. At first, it just seemed so plain and strange and well, not Prada-y. Then, as time went on, it got better. You'd look great in those Prada chandelier shoes, being the foot model that you are! Those Pierre Hardy for Gap shoes are amazing, too! Thanks for the wonderful post. Oh, and the shelves are arranged perfectly! I especially like the bow headband/ hat. Isn't that the one that people made such a fuss about via Twitter? Hmmm...why did they care? Anyways, keep wearing wonderful things, and posting wonderful things!
-Emma
I was hoping to come across macaroons ahah! :P
wahahahaha how much do I love your PEZ collection??????
; A ; That is such an awesome book collection!
...And I also love your Wizar of Oz Pez collection as well! ...and your The Birds movie doll!
Ah, what a beautiful gift jealousy is...!

Them wedges are so cool!
The Prada lookbook it TO DIE FOR! You can super lucky <3
Oh my gawd, why isn't my room that clean and neat?!
x x x x
Awww, Fiona Apple! I have that number of "Spin".
And is the cover of the DP book by Seth?
Progress photos are the best thing, they let you compare so you don't feel like a total slob. btw I love the pez dispensers, especially the fact that you arranged them by color.
i like reading about shelves! and yours are very cute :)
Love the wedges.
I have the same fairy tin!
how have U got money from this own?? ;p
Love the Pez shelve :D
Hi Tavi! We love your blog!!! Kisses from Spain. =D

Big L O L at the bow shelf. Sassy!
your pez dispenser display rocks my work. pez is my faves.
and the pierre hardy's are awesome and I think a giant oversized twist tie would be cool.
lovely shoes!

The love you have for Sassy is identical to my love for Domino. Life just hasn't been the same without it. P.S. gap has outdone themselves with those fab shoes.
Great shelf, great collection of everything ...great YOU!
I need also to clean my room, all my designs are in everywhere and my desk is full of full fabrics, beads, sequins, magazines, and more and more and mo.......ohhhhhh enough!
Kisses , good night and see you soon....have a nice weekend

Yep, I see the Commes des Garcons book I told you about, but you aleady had!
1. Shoes are epic. 2. You have inspired me to keep the freakishly high platform shoes!
And you have a Dorothy Parker book! This post is simply packed with brilliance.
nice pez collection!
please read my blog at http://ohgeeitsgreat.wordpress.com/
Were those shoes sent by an angel?
That's a large pez collection. o_O Those platform shoes are so adorable. They are very 70s and free spirited-ish. I like the clunkiness. It doesn't look over-bearing and it looks actually graceful. Hmm.I really didn't like the Prada collection at first either but I am slowly warming up to it.
Please visit my blog too?
http://fashionflavoredcomfits.blogspot.com/2010/05/dreams-on-paper.html
WANT THOSE SHOES. SO FREAKING BAD. and when doesn't a slightly sucky collection look good with cool pictures of giant shoes on beaches and people that have rainbows on top of them?
I've got the same portable Dorothy Parker, top page 299. Love/ Hanna
Impressive pez collection!
And OMFG you have the Kurtney issue of Sassy? Luuucky!
Those were really cool. I love ikea too. Thanks for the post.

This is exactly what I'm trying to organize atm. Except half of my possessions are in another part of the Country and I don't have an impressive pez collection. Still, I find girls with the makings of a library totally rad.

Cool Prada video. No does it like Miuccia. Also love the arrangement of books and magazines on your shelf, especially the Lula corner. :)
that's ridiculous.
who wouldn't want a huge picture of a girl and an octopus on their wall.
and she should'be shared her twizzlers.

Epic room shot! I love how the infamous head bow has a shelf all to itself. Organization is good.
Your shooooes, your shoeeees. L.o.v.e.l.y.
cool shoes. don't get why you'd want to wear something you can't walk in, but cool shoes!

I soo effin in love with those shoes hun =)
I feel I must let you know - I'm not sure why - that we are a HUGE Alfred Hitchcock family and I am now insanely jealous of your The Birds doll. What I truly want is a life size sculpture of his awesomeness. Just so I could admire that profile every day :)

Those wedges are pretty sick, i'm dieing for them. Love the Pez collection as well, it makes me think of a simpler time haha.

When I was in High school I turned my room into half a closet. I am glad you have restrained spending and collecting. It is a hard habit to break.
I think those frou frou tumblrs are okay, a little saturated though.

can i just get a shrinking ray gun, zap myself, become friends with the PEZ people, and then live in your shelves?
Hello Dasein!
yeah I was at kinkos couple weeks ago and this elementary school teacher wanted to enlarge this black and white pic for her students to color, but they said stuff about copyright issues and they would need permission to use images blah blha blah
The infamous ribbon made more famous than Justin Bieber!
Can I just say I wish I was as cool as you at fourteen.
I'm jealous that you have a "The Birds" Barbie and a collection of Lula.
woah. woah. woah. those are the sickest shoes ever. i want them. I NEEEEED THEM!
You're right... the collection is definitely an acquired taste! Loving the clear pointy toes for some reason :)
I also love that you're reading Sassy. I remember how much I adored that magazine the first time around. Enjoy!
what's this magazin!? what's its name!? thanks!
Spring cleaning is such a great thing!

i agree. prada lookbooks are great great great.
you've got a very nice room!
congrats on the shoes:) love the prada lookbook and your pez collection. I have my art books in one place like you as well but I've ran out of shelve place..ouh..
I also like the fairy-feeling-Lula-shelve..but I have no idea what Lula is..but the decoration is way cute
i LOVE lula magazine! :] i wish i had your shelf full of those pretty lulas too.
First of all I would like to say how much I like the Pierre Hardy for Gap wedges. They look great on your feet’s. Do I sound like a foot fetishist now? I’m not, quite the contrary. Whatever…
I like how you arranged your stuff in the shelves. Love to be organized, looks like you too. You have some really great books. The Kate Moss Style book I own too! ^^

The staff at Kinko's are so nosy & judgmental sometimes! This is America, man.
How are those shoes in terms of comfort and stay-on-ability? I have issues with perpetually falling over, and also slipping out of shoes.
It's a bad combo for being fashionable (and human :( )

evabasford.blogspot.com
i love your bloogg :---D
nice pics and and... yeah
keep going !
damn, you have your own PEZ rainbow...
that bow and the image of you sporting a giant pink afro really make my day :)
nice amount and breed of stuff you accumulated there. and yes, your collection will grow and grow and grow. so thank god for attics and basements till some genius makes folding spacetime a viable storage alternative.
last but not least: usually i don't dig wedges that much (for some weird reason they make me think of this thankfully quitted chinese practice to bind female feet. you know, so-called lily or lotus feet), but these somehow work. i blame it on the ribbons.
and don't be so mean to your feet, after all they tend to carry you places ^__^
http://theclothes.blogspot.com/2010/05/pierre-hardy-for-gap.html
Those Prada neon green sunglasses are just...NEED.NOW. Justification: summer is coming, and I have eyes to protect (Confessions of a Shopaholic movie, anyone?).
Anyway--the Pez dispensers are killer. And so are The Birds. :-)P
Lady, you need to get a mannequin head for your bow to live on. It deserves more than a thumbtack. Good job on organizing! It's very hard to work up the motivation sometimes.
oh my gosh i lalalalove your wedges
you should try a bunch of neon zip ties through the loops in those wedge sandals.... it would be weird but cool... impractical but still cool hahaha
beautiful pics and amazing wedges...
;-)

Pez, Dorothy Parker, and a Tippi Hedren Barbie, Tavi, I swear you are the daughter I never had.
I just ordered the same pair of shoes! So excited for them to come in the mail. Huge ordeal to get them, but they are so worth it.
I grew up on Sassy Magazine! I totally forgot about this magazine until now......I remember that Kurt Cobain cover. Thanks for reminding me Tavi:-)
I loovvveee that shoes <3
I loovvveee that shoes <3
why are you so awesome
love your room! and those shoes are actually adorable. I was looking for some cute affordable wedges, where is the best place to get some? Also, where can I pick up the Sassy Magazine?
You would be a Dorothy Parker fan. Good on you!
Love this post.
My 4 year old daughter is "that person" too. This photo is a year old, I should really take another, her collection has at least doubled!
