Maeby We Should Be Seeing More of Alia Shawkat

... because, turns out, she's a pretty cool lady! She's been kind of MIA since Arrested Development ended, so it's fun to see how she's grown up into a well-spoken, beautiful, confident young woman. Also--I absolutely adore her jumpsuit! I would say that it's pretty bold, but the way she wears it, you can tell she actually does not give a flying fack what you think. She pulls it off quite well; so well, in fact, that I'm suddenly quite interested in jumpsuits. Well, that was a freebie! (Well, no, it really wasn't, but I had to make at least one AD/Maeby reference.) (And no "Her?" jokes, guys. I can hear them coming from around the corner. They're wearing tap shoes. [That was a Pushing Daisies reference. Speaking of PD, isn't time we get the follow-up we were promised? So many loose ends! SUCH A GOOD SHOW. Damn you, the system!])

Michael Cera is also making some bold fashion choices. On Facebook/YouTube/whatever I have seen a good number of comments that were quite critical of his outfit. Come on! Just let him be. We have got to do something about that boy's self-esteem... Just cool your Japanese jets, everybody. He looks ready to be Mr. Manager to me.

Riccardo Tisci + Opéra Garnier

Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy's first stage collaboration is with Paris's Opéra Garnier, for the ballet Boléro.  Tisci says "Boléro is all about intensity! The music has such an intense feeling. I wanted the dancers to feel naked somehow. The costumes express two sides of me: darkness and romanticism."

I think the costumes are absolutely beautiful. The two aesthetics they represent--"darkness and romanticism"--come together beautifully (as they do in most Tisci creations--which is why I love them so much).

Here they are in action:

Wow.

Ooh la la

Vivienne Westwood will be designing airplane uniforms for Virgin Atlantic. And it sounds like it's going to be très chic.

A Cause For Celebration

Prada has really been releasing some interesting stuff recently, in terms of digital media, but this most recent pairing... I think it was a match made in heaven.

You may remember the Anderson/Coppola team from the summer's Moonrise Kingdom--the two wrote the screenplay together. And that sure went well. (Although I am a bit of a sucker for Wes Anderson films.) Of course I love the other, less comical short films Prada and Miu Miu have put out, but this one is definitely my favorite. I think I'll try and emulate Candy for a few days and see how it works out. I'll let you know if I end up with a couple of men on my arm and a homemade double-vanilla-chocolate-almond cream cake ;)

Still Obsessed With This

I watched the Lanvin for H&M promo again recently. I still love it (Lanvin actually puts out pretty cool ads, like this one!). And the clothes. 

But mostly Alber Elbaz. I will never stop loving that man. Never change, Alber. Never change. 

Dreaming of Valentino

Whenever I shop on net-a-porter, I get really bummed out. I should stop doing this to myself. 

Contrast-collar silk-voile organza dress, a mere $2,690

Back to waiting for Zara to go on sale, I guess.
