“Blue Is The Warmest Color”

Hole – Softer, Softest

 

Ever since I was little I had a thing for the color blue, I always gravitated towards it one way or another and a few months ago I was really into dyeing my hair a not so bright shade of blue… to be honest I didn’t have the guts to do it but I guess better late than never. I might even consider doing most of it in this greenish shade of blue, more like a teal-like color.

The only tedious part was seating for about 3 hours in a salon waiting for the bleach to act on my hair but so worth the wait.

On the other hand.

both the t-shirt and the awesome patched denim jacket I scored them in a flea market for less that 40$ both.

Soon more posts and changes.

“MBMJ FW 2014”

Initial reaction:

A breath of karate chopping fresh air for Luella Bartley and Katie Hillier’s first season with the label. Their gang of anime gaming girls welcomed a reinvention of samurai and ninja influences, interpreted through the lens of youth culture. Funny, graphic branding mixed with elegant suiting, zig-zag sole moon boots, and handkerchiefs with a Misfits style skeleton smile. In true Marc Jacobs form, a list that reads all wrong but comes out looking extremely cohesive and exciting.

Music:

The theme music from the Alice in Wonderland film. We are so pleased to be down Katie and Luella's rabbit hole.

Set:

A plywood skate park. It still smelled of freshly cut wood.

High note:

Watching Marc Jacobs watch Marc by Marc Jacobs. The designer sat front row with Sofia Coppola, and stood and applauded the ladies when they came out to take a (modest) bow. Backstage, the two were giddy and flushed. Spotting Alexa Chung and Tennessee Thomas, Luella exclaimed, "the girls are here!"

Backstage:

Katie said the moon boots were for "Narc-y girls who stomp around." Marc Jacobs flew to London to see the collection and "took some things out, fiddled around a bit." Luella added that when the two sat down, they realized they had about seven collections they wanted to pursue. We can't wait to see them all.
