My new shoes - I finally acquired those Nine West patent heels, and they are SUPER fierce. Love love love. Sadly, I can't find my digital camera USB cable--arghh--so revelatory photos will have to wait.
Design*Sponge - This all-around fabulous design blog combines the author's personal design life with contributions from readers. The site is pretty and I like to live vicariously through the amazing things on the site, imagining that someday I, too, will lacquer an old cabinet into something hyper-mod-chic.
Bernard Rudofsky - One of my favorite people. Not that I know him, but he was a writer, architect, collector, teacher, designer, and social historian--okay, AWESOME--who did things like give a lecture entitled "How Can People Expect to Have Good Architecture When They Wear Such Clothes?" Love it. He wrote a really insightful, rather subversive book called Are Clothes Modern?, which went hand in hand with an exhibit of the same name at the MoMA. A reviewer at the time wrote, "Mr. Rudofsky reminds us that we smugly accept the stupidity of our clothes because we shy away from an insight into the problems of human work, leisure and happiness. The author mercilessly assails the supersitions and conventions by which we are bound, and clarifies the principles which should govern clothing in a modern age." Amazing. I love him. I treasure my old, worn, eBay-ed copy and wish I'd been around in 1947 for the exhibit. HOWEVER! I can be, sort of! The Getty Museum is putting on a Rudofsky retrospective, and I'm hoping to go see it today. Tres exciting. I'm such a geek...but I guess a fashion geek is on the less-geeky side of the spectrum? In any case, Rudofsky here I com/exhibit review on blog to come!
