Jak & Jil

This is my ideal look. For the past few months I have had a subliminal need to possess a jacket exactly like this. So, this picture is an exact manifestation of how I would like to use the jacket in my own life. The way it has been combined with disparate pieces like the socks and sheer tights has a really nice harmony. The oversized and thigh high/ sheer combo reminds me of how they are used in a few of the 3.1 Philip Lim, Pre-Fall 2013 (below)

The Sartorialist 

This is another set of images I had used previously. 

The pink/grey combo with black or navy always is attractive to me.

Neon Pants

This article on Buzzfeed is too good to pass up:  Jason Wu: Neon Pants

 It reminds me of the ruined fresco in Spain, and the internet backlash that followed.

If you're on a mint bend, Refinery 29 also did a great post: Made in the Shade: Mint Green

These images are a series I used previously that I needed to bring over. This morning when thinking about mint, I thought of this Fisher Price kitchen set I owned as a child. There were hard plastic muffins which came with removable colored icing. This mint icing was memorable.

Fresh

 

This series of images was from a blog I had previously. I want to keep them around longer. 
Photo  #1 and #2 I do not remember.

#3 The Sartorialist 

#4 Advanced Style

#5 and #6 I don't remember.

Green Blue

I noticed this blue and green print (third image) on my beach towel. I am now stalking prints that use a saturated blue/green equal in value.

Images 1 and 3 are my borrowed beach towel.

Images 2 and 4 are Chris Benz 2011 Resort. 

The painting at the end is Arthur Dove, Summer 1935

Packable Tour Boot. I want this.

The scarf seems to function as a compressed space. There is a quote somewhere about art and compression, something like “all good paintings need compression.“ The images below are from a few years ago.
