oh hell yes! charlotte gainsbourg is guest editing for Vogue!

i’m pretty sure i’ve been a fan of Charlotte Gainsbourg since Jayne Eyre when she was nothing to me but an interesting face with the charming, quiet sadness of an orphaned fawn. Since then i’ve come to know her as not only the talented love child of Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin, but also a singer/actor with amazing personal style.

charlotte gainsbourg

so i was completely ecstatic to find out that she’s been chosen to guest edit December’s issue of Vogue! Catherine Deneuve’s done it, Sofia Coppola, Kate Moss, and John Galliano too. to me, she seems like an obvious choice but i would have never expected it. i’m waiting with baited fingers for that issue! giggidy giggidy!

jiminy jeepers, i can’t be responsible for my actions if i see a guy walking around in this David Bowie-inspired line by Keanan Duffty for Target (debuting tomorrow!):

hothottnesspuffyhotness

although it’s looking a bit bland for its flamboyant inpiration and i don’t really remember Bowie ever wearing a puffy vest, this line is rather hott.
yep. seriously. i’m sewing myself some gigantic puffy sleeves right now…

Thrift Stars! Eve’s Picks from Wardrobe Remix: 09 Oct 2007

nemrešpobjećodnedjel je’s audacity pays off again and again. I suffer while not in the presence of that skirt.

As I type, I am puking up baby hedgehogs and pixie dust.

When I saw this outfit, I smiled out loud.

I love how she tied her scarf. Amber, we should do a post on pixie boots. I NEED.

Gorgeous. Love the necklace and the trousers.

I own a pile of sweater dresses and I can’t pull them off. I think the haircut helps.

She looks like she was teleported from the original Tomorrowland.

SHERBET TONE. You should start a blog or open a boutique. You are a genius. I bow before thee.

How do you follow up that one? With a candystripe leisure shirt/cardigan combo one-two PUNCH!

Rowdy Sac Weekend: Rocktoberbeast

We had a crazy weekend that started with a double birthday party (Happy Birthday Moe and Annie!) that ended up in Sacramento’s Lavender district, danced our way through Oktoberfest at the German Hall, and ended with another double birthday party (Happy Birthday Dad and Uncle Phil!) at our parents house. Here are some pictures of the hip highlights:

I bought a pair of supple leather riding boots from Goodwill for $10. I’ve certainly put them to good use (does anyone know how to clean beer from leather?). Doesn’t the guy in the lederhosen look like Bruce Campbell?

Good times!

Eve
