Words (Of Magic)

My Dear Lucy,

I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But someday you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but I shall still be

your affectionate Godfather,

C. S. Lewis

What a perfect outfit...

I asked for this coat for Christmas. I mean, $99? Are you kidding me? Unfortunately, there isn't a Zara anywhere near here. My momma might have to do a little detective work. A lot of detective work.

Pop

Tony Scherman and David Dalton have written a new book on Andy Warhol called Pop: The Genius of Andy Warhol. I swear, there could never be enough books written about him. The man was infinitely complicated. You could read every book on Warhol out there, and you'd still be just as clueless as you were before. This article alone has already contradicted so much of what I have previously read on Andy. I'm dying to finish my school books so I can start on this one.

Are you kidding me?

Daul Kim for RUSSH Magazine? Have I died and gone to heaven? Too bad no one around here will be stocking this issue for at least two months. Oh, the agony.

Flair October 2009

Best editorial I've seen in a long time. WHO makes those pants?

Cozy

The weather's not quite cold enough for coats yet, but it is just right for sweaters. Would love to add that Dries Van Noten sweater from the first picture to my collection. That collection will haunt me forever.

Giles SS2010

Seriously wanting one of those dino bags. Maybe even more than I wanted Peter Jensen's horse bag. Actually, I would love any bag in the shape of an animal. It's probably because I never had one of those backpacks shaped like a teddy bear or a puppy as a child. Missed out.

Also thinking about putting some streaks of blue into my hair. I'm not normally a fan of unnatural hair colors, but I really like the faded streaks at Giles and Proenza Schouler.

It's getting colder.

Love these photos. They kind of whisper, "Hello, Fall!" One more paper, and I'm on fall break. I can't even tell you how glad I am that it's starting to cool down. I actually started to hate getting dressed in the morning because I literally had no inspiration left. Must move somewhere where the cold weather lasts longer than three months ASAIG (as soon as I graduate).
