Insert state pun here

I remember when Come on Feel the Illinoise came out and my friends and I OBSESSED over how good it was (ahem, Steven?). I listened to that album to death, particularly all over the Moscow Metro. I am so shocked I haven't bought the new album yet, especially because what I've heard has been.....so damn good. Do you have the album?

Did you see this over on Garance Dore (clearly I'm catching up on her blog)? First, how hilarious is the little story that goes with it? It made me miss my sisters (even though they are much younger and tinier than I am) . But also, how effing awesome is Giovanna's outfit? It looks so simple and natural but so crazy at the same time, I guess that's the genius of amazingly made clothes. le sigh

Oh yes!

This just looks so right to me for some reason. I mean, I already own a men's white blazer, so I was already halfway there. But the glasses, the scarf, the messy hair... (and maybe some brightly colored jeans?) man....I want to be in that photo

newest hair cut?

I've been struggling with what to do with my bangs (no change there) but I think this is it. Thoughts?

why can't I look like this in a suit?

And also....why does a raspberry colored suit not seem totally crazy to me? What about a well cut black suit with a hot pink top and styled similarly? Would that be the runway to real world version of this?via because I'm addicted
