Lady Gaga: Bad Romance = Great Fashion
While my bestie was up our anthem was definitely Bad Romance by Lady Gaga. We seriously danced around to it at least once a day during the week-long visit! (I’m a bit of a fangirl and I don’t care.) Now that the video is out I am thrilled! (side note: That last shot in the video?! Seriously, I die.)
I am IN LOVE with the Agent Provocateur black Love Demi Bra and Briefs she rocks in the video.
Not to mention pieces from Alexander McQueen’s amazing Spring 2010 collection.
I was also interested to find out that the over-the-top polar bear coat she dons later in the video is by New York-based designer Benjamin Cho. Originally created for his Spring 2004 runway show with the Human Society, the completely faux-fur coat was “reworked” just for Gaga’s video… Gorgeous!
Mixtape: September 2009 Folky Mix
Ah, the time-honored tradition of the mixtape… A way to share a little part of yourself with a new friend or potential love-interest, a personalized icebreaker, a little note written with the music of others… this is what I have for you today and what I hope to give you at least once a month!
For this month’s mixtape I found myself thinking about the impending chilly weather that comes with Autumn. I absolutely love this time of year! The crispness that sets in and brings back all of my beloved cardigans and layering pieces from the depths of the out of season closet… mmm! So, I picked a few alt. folk tracks that more or less fit this transitional mood for me.
