it's too late to tell him how great he really was.

yesterday I went to a morrissey party where less morrissey/ the smiths songs were played than it is played in my room on an average night. to take revenge, I felt like taking some wardrobe inspiration from "baby moz"- okay that was perfectly lame, I'll say smiths-era morrissey style while dressing up for a short walk outside today. so should you!

it's easy: an intentional desperation, some slouchiness, some mix and match patterns- and voila; you look enough smiths-obsessed.

oh, by the way, I happened to discover this unpublished demo version of paint a vulgar picture, one of my favorite smiths songs of all time (now that's saying something, considering I basically live on the smiths songs). lots of different lines (now I know why it's called "paint a vulgar picture) and a purer, less processed vocal tone- it might even be better than the actual published version, and suddenly every blurry point about the story told in the song is illuminated. if any of you happens to be a psychopatic morrissey/smiths fan like I am, you might really enjoy this:

I know this was a quite weird post and I made myself look really crazy, I just love the man so much I can't help!

Christian Dior,

you wasted your life
on grandeur and style
and making the poor rich smile.
you could have run wild
on the backstreets of Lyon or Marseille
reckless and legless and stoned
impregnating women
or kissing mad street boys from Napoli
who couldn't even write their own name.

meat is murder

as if she's not cool enough, I came across this shoot of alexa chung, wearing a meat is murder t-shirt in the coolest way possible.

 

then found this one- the same shirt, worn in the second coolest way possible. what's with me and alexa nowadays?

...it won't be long.

hey lovelies, long time no see- I haven't written here in longer than a month, and it's kind of shameful of course. I was pretty busy trying to get my life on track, and I'm not completely sure I succeeded (oh, what a mess), but anyway, here I am!

let me telly you that some exciting posts are coming soon- inspiration is gushing out of my brain. I want to write more about nudes (which I've been pretty obsessed with), florals and maritime chic. seems like summer's gonna be all about these for me. also, nowadays I'm really keen on an oldschool nerd style with a twist, and a post about that would be really nice, too.

and, big news: expect a live broadcast of Dublin street fashion (yes, heading to Éire soon!). 

 photos from audrey hepburn complex

you should see this: my favorite things in the world combined- moon river, audrey hepburn, and morrissey. I've always loved him, but I think this was the video that got me so much into mozzer. I was stunned by how well he understands it- that was about a year ago.  now I barely listen to anyone else. actually, even less than "barely".

grammys is a redneck parade... well, mostly

why does grammy awards always remind me of a black-tie redneck parade so much in terms of fashion? well, there are some exceptions aswell.

bad news first. 

the bad:

I appreciate Lady Gaga's style and I adore the ice princess themed outfit, but this neon yellow malibu barbie wig just doesn't work with it, which makes the overall look gross.

she can actually scratch your eye. try not to look at the photo over five seconds or it might leave permanent damage.

I see it's a beautiful dress, it's just not for Pink.

I don't know who this person is, but I feel sorry for her.

wow, girl, you made a great job in choosing the wrong everything. the hair is way too long for her height, makeup looks cheap, the dress is uber-unflattering on this body type, those flipper-inspired booties are just ridiculous. the result: humpty-dumpty meets dwarf beluga whale imitating kim kardashian look.

me not likey the beige hulk look. btw, dear makeup artist; I heard they invented something called "blending". I thought you might want to check it out.

you know what? it's not your prom actually.

...but it could be worse. this lady didn't only wear an ugly prom dress, she also took along a ridiculous messenger bag made of the same fabric.

definite overkill. it's such a shame, her escort (I dont know who they are, sorry) looks exceptionally stylish & trendy. love the military jacket, high top sneakers and monochromatic color palette.

that's exactly how you shouldn't wear flapper-inspired items.

wow, so costume-y and tacky it's interesting indeed.

next time tell your mom to iron your pants, kiddo.

okay they don't look that ridiculous here, I just dislike Jonas Brothers.

I gotta tell you something that's rather shocking... it's not 1997 anymore and you're not an NSYN'C member.

the mediocre:

 Nicole Kidman recently lost some of her appeal to me. I can't exactly describe it, I mean she still looks elegant like always, but it's far from the fairytale princess she used to be. she looks just fine here. most of her recent choices are "just fine".

I like the idea and find the colors & fabric's texture super flattering on her skintone but the shape doesn't really work, obviously.

not too bad, just a tad too 70's porn star for my liking.

the good:

oh my, so cute. the dress is so Audrey. navy and black look so classy together... and very clever accesorizing indeed. I think she's the best dressed of grammy awards (but who she is???)

she's just too elegant for grammys in this refined & gorgeous vermillion dress.

this dress looks like something Jennifer Aniston would wear. me likey!

just the right dose of sexiness. I really like it. maybe because she's with Josh Duhamel.

subtle glitz added with sparkly belt, beautiful powdery pink color, perfect shape... this dress is just dreamy.

though it's not a terribly original look and I openly hate Miley Cyrus with a passion (as every sensible person over 12 years of age should), I actually really like it.

'

lovely Taylor Swift looking graceful as always. I love how the dress flows gently on her curves, and the sparkly navy fabric looks magical on peaches & cream complexion.

love.

outfit of the day: this charming man

I seriously feel like morrissey in my new jean shirt & horn-rimmed nerd glasses. considering I've spent the whole fall/winter listening pretty much only to moz & the smiths, it's not that weird. oh, how I love this man. he's beyond being just a person. he's a lifestyle.
I was listening to this charming man while dressing up today and here's what I came up with. a bit moz, a bit me.

why pamper life's complexities
when the leather runs smooth on the passenger seat?

outfit of the day: I'm throwing my arms around paris

still gentle and poetic in details, but a bit wearied, a bit desperate, a bit gloomy. perfect setting: a wednesday afternoon in paris, walking along the seine river, hands in the pockets of the blazer.
here's the soundtrack: I'm throwing my arms around paris by morrissey.

love.

outfit of the day: half a person

I think "half a person" of the smiths has recently become my favorite song about stalking/going after someone and unfulfilled love, judging by the fact that I've been obsessively listening to it over and over for a couple days. I've never been quite interested in happy endings, anyways.

I love how it's quite entertaining and mellow, yet terribly heartbreaking on the background. oh morrissey, you make pathetic cool. 

the song has even affected my taste in clothing over the week.

call me morbid, call me pale by popsiclepout featuring Kate Moss

call me morbid, call me pale
I've spent six years on your trail
six full years of my life on your trail

and if you have five seconds to spare
then I'll tell you the story of my life :
sixteen, clumsy and shy
I went to london and I
I booked myself in at the y ... w.c.a.

I said : "I like it here - can I stay ?
I like it here - can I stay ?
do you have a vacancy
for a back-scrubber?"


the thing is; morrissey is still sixteen, clumsy and shy at heart. 

love.
