Also, to change things up…here are my top three albums of this week as well:
Ryuchi Sakamoto's Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence (1983)
Morgan Geist's Unclassics (2004…but it's a mix of elctonic disco 1978-85..) and Japan-Tin Drums (1981)
Must get packing :)
*Note the Miu Miu dragonfly shoes-my mom bought them for herself at Neimans Last Call in a size 8 even tho she is a size 10-shes decided to buy her own properly fitting pair on eBay and hand these down to me which is awesome because these shoes are awesome!
(If I don't update much between now and Friday it's because I have an epic amount of papers, homework, and exams this week-but I'm very excited to leave for New York on Saturday! ;-D)
I am obsessed with this editorial from i-D last year and the image of the girl cutting her hair is from the 2004film Mind Game by Masaaki Yuasa, which I have yet to see but the DVD is on the top of my Christmas wish list…

Today I am wearing a leather skirt (recently purchased from thrift store), an American Apparel tank top pinned to be worn as a one shouldered tank, a belt from my mom's old store, and Martin Margiela sandal booties.
Today my mom is wearing a vintage Flora Kung dress, Levi's jeans, her vintage lionhead belt, and Givenchy open toe boots
And to those who asked: the painting in the background is not a Clifford Still or a Franz Kline-it was a painting someone had tried to cover up but never finished. It was purchased from a junk store just as the owner was about to throw it out!
Today I am wearing
A mongolian lamb fur vest on loan from mom
A lace vintage dress with sequins running through it that I bought in Tulsa
Triple-lace burgundy Ann Demeulemeester boots
An old metal belt
This dress makes me very happy!
I did an interview for Teen Ugly at Chictopia-and I'm very excited to start writing for them too!
And thank so much to the cool people at The Supermelon for choosing me (along with Caroline and Laurel ) as one of their winners for the "Style Your Denim" contest with Lucky Magazine!
Also: you can now email me at Jane@SeaofShoes.com but my old email is just fine too, they forward to the same inbox!
Thanks for reading as always :)

My mom and I have both been obsessing over 80's animal belts for the past year. The elephant belt was the first belt in the collection and the gigantic lion head is the latest addition. My mom is very skillful at pulling up obscure and demented animal belts on eBay. I love how stupid the glass eyes on the lion head belt look-it's sort of sweet. He has a 'Mona Lisa' like quality to him. His eyes follow you everywhere.
My mom and look forward to styling some outfits with these belts soon!
To people who have been asking: my camera is a Nikon D40.
