creatures of comfort

i've been a fan of creatures of comfort for a while now, and was pleased to see that they were added to the new york calendar this year. this is a pretty laid back but sometimes kooky line, and i'm really into everything this season. jade lai, the designer behind the line, played around with heavier sweaters and skirts this season, pushing the line a bit further than usual.

the backdrop was an homage to the late louise bourgeois, whose art inspired the fall collection. lai experimented with windowpane grids on boxy topcoats and shifts representing the "sense of entrapment that bourgeois' work evoked," while the eyes scattered on button-ups and other easy pieces were a frequent bourgeois motif.
the muted colours are perfect for fall, and each piece looks just right for layering. i love the eyes on the white dress! spooky and the best amount of kinda whimsy.

OLD HABITS

both juergen teller

i always talk about how i'm going to post more and more often, but i never ever do. i started school in september and now i have even less free time! i've started working on a degree in biology and this will not be my first, i plan on being in school for a very very long time. and it's finally getting cold and feels like the time of year that it is, thanks to daylight savings. i could complain and say that it's hard to wake up while it's still dark out, and drag myself to school to learn about cell division and human anatomy but, while it is hard, i'm so happy to be back being challenged every day that i hardly notice the weather anymore.

things are always going to be hectic, i guess is what i'm trying to say. BUT, it is fall, and fall means capes, leaves, sweaters, boots and tights, which is more my type of weather, and that means that i'm dressing a lot more effortlessly. i'll try to be around more frequently
