and so it begins.

Somehow, it is already time for the Fall 2011 season so this is a scheduled post as I head to NY. I haven't even looked at some Spring shows! And Pre-Fall! And Couture! There's still a lot of stuff from last season I want to write about! And so, to test the timelessness of these clothes (see how I make myself seem less lazy by making this seem like a clever conceptual endeavor?), I will continue to write about Spring while Fall is going on. Fashion needs to take a note from Frankie and just relax for like, TWO SECONDS.

Meanwhile, this is what I wore to the Hideout thing last week. It was fun! Really fun! At least, as far as I can remember, though it's entirely possible I said some really stupid stuff. Thanks to the kind folks who came and said hi and stroke up conversations about Suze Rotolo and thrifting!

I wanted to be red and graphic-y? This is more a "character" outfit than an interesting printsy layery one. I've been doing more of that kind of dressing lately. Vintage Betsey Johnson dress, Soft cardigan, backpack from when I was little. The girl scout patch is from eBay.

Very nice look Tavi, and it looks like from Miu Miu's spring 2011 show like satin dresses. You should see Chanel Haute spring 2011 it reminds me on you a lot. You would look nice in some of them just like you like ghostly....

Have a nice day

Scheduled posts are so handy, aren't they? You must be having an incredible time - uh, doing so much homework on that plane!
Adorable outfit as usual, Tavi. Seriously, your fashion sense just brightens up any day.

Eda said...

WOW. This is so cool.
The girl scout patch is so cute and lovely~
I think eBay is good for searching vintage things. isn't it? :)

Oh I know! Every season I feel like there is so much to talk about, so many patterns, designs, and colors that needed to be explored further but then another fashion week comes through making everything else irrelevant!

Fingers crossed for some delightful things for Fall!

Alexi Frest said...

As far as I know, this will be the season when healthy looking models will return... Now I hope it is just a promise again - I did suffer a lot to become zero size and it does fit to my personality. I would not change my body for the hottest curvy, shapely body in the world.

i like your reference to Frankie.funny because its true..Fashion never stops its always something new. Anyways thats what makes fashion soo interesting and involving...

the time goes so fast. 2010 ends before few weeks and now the fall season starts..
i did never thought about fall or pre-fall or couture(though my blog is "style couture..").
i think all the bloggers have lots and lots of stuffs to write about. but the shortage of time blocked us! :(
anyways, you would be so happy! going to the shows! i wish you to enjoy the days at there and watch all the shows carefully! because you have to tell us the great time at there and great shows you've seen..^^

therefore please, please look closely at all the things out there with your pretty glasses! :D
and make all the people surprised who looks at your super style! :D

Brittney said...

I love it! It's simple, but so distinct. :)

You remind me of a young Kathleen Hanna, in the way that you mix parts of a young girl's aesthetic (ponytails, flower patches, etc.) with punk rock and feminism.

I love your look! And although it is your look I would like to say in my opinion it looks like it probably could use a bit more detail. Sorry for saying that if you don't like that. Just wondering, would you reply back an email if I sent you one? It's not for a school project, but I would really like it if you can inspire me and/or help me w/ my blog.

Haha, I'm so with ya on this. I was too lazy to cover the spring collections so I STILL reference fall. I did manage to fast forward and post a few Chanel pre-fall pics though.

Very excited to see what the next fall collections are like!

Both of them are fab!!

HENRY FRY said...

Great combination of soft and strong (in terms of the cardigan and the colour). Super statement. Love the girl scout patch!

OdiousStyle said...

You must be glad that 70's are one of the biggest inspirations this season. I've glanced through your blog and I see huge amount of flowers and colours :)

You look very girlish and innocent. Not like the youngest well known so called 'style icon'.

Keep going Tavi, I wish you luck!
