Something awful happened to my camera this week! My D80's light meter went haywire-I took it to the shop and it's going to have to be worked on there for a while.
Kind of frustrating, because when I asked how long it was going to take they said something like, "Uhh…don't know, m'am…anywhere from 1 week to 2 months." Alrighty then…so we'll see when I get it back.
Oh yea-In addition to computer failure and camera failure, add "biology test" to my list of failures this week. Oh man….
All of these crappy things could have made this a really bad week, but today is definitely making up for it.
Tonight I'm gonna see Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti at Hailey's tonight-I've been looking forward to this for a while. Cool shows also mean cool outfit opportunities. I haven't finalized my outfit yet but I'm thinking something with these things:
– Fur collar from Boulevards Boutique in Tulsa, Oklahoma
– Vintage pyramid necklace
– Junya Watanabe gold and green striped cardigan-the armholes, cuffs, and collar are attached with safety pins
– Crimped hair…just got a crimping iron and it's addictive. Hair straighteners, blow dries, curling irons are impossible for me to use. Crimping wands are totally fool proof and fabulous in a Kelly Wearstler/batty biddy sorta way.
Okay I promise no more webcam pictures, I was just lazy today and at loss without my D80.
Oh, and meet my new Margiela degradé cowboy boots.
There is something about these boots that I find wierdly symbolic and compelling-I don't know, sort of like something from a David Lynch movie. I have to do a post about these boots and everything they embody tomorrow. So expect more detail soon.
I had the most exciting email on Friday morning-from Danny Roberts of Igor and Andre.
I'm sure you're familiar with his work-he does beautiful portraits of models and has also immortalized the likes of Karoline and Rumi in his blogger portrait series.
He did this beautiful picture of me-thank you so much Danny!
So all of that scratch that-I didn't have a bad week. Nope, not at all…I've had an awesome week!
And tonight it's gonna get even better. So excited!
Okay I'm going to go crimp my hair some more and maybe do a little studying for biology…then to go see Ariel Pink!

Love the boots, and that drawing is amazing!
i love your blog btw (:
I’ve been looking for a crimping iron to make beachy waves, but have only found ones that give me that horrible early-90s throw-back look. Which one are you using?
PS: LOVE the blog.
great boots!

I love his artwork and he captured you beautifully, what a compliment!
I like these pictures! Variety is good, nevermind if the ‘quality’ is less excellent.
My goodness, Jane! I’m eyeing on these boots, too! I just got Margiela Tabi heels and flats and was thinking of holding off on buying stuff this month, but I kept going to the website and drool over these boots. We have similar taste although you’re much younger than me…LOL…

I’m sorry your camera and computer died!!! That’s why shoes are so great, they can’t get a virus or malfunction or whatever!

That artwork is amazing – very beautiful! There’s definitely a very distinctive style about it. Love it.

Oh! yr portrait is awesome — really love it!!.. and I love your new hair as well..look perfectly undone! What is the crimping iron are you using? I have tried several ones and it’s awful…. :)
i just wanted to say that your blog is a breath of fresh air. you see a lot of ‘fashion’ blogs out there that are more so about self-promotion and incredibly vain pursuits (ahem, rumi), but i think all of us readers out there in cyberspace can really tell you that have an innate love and passion for clothes, looks and all things fashion. you keep it real.
dont let your camera get you down. stay smiling.
lovely portrait :) love his work.
cześć!!
podziwiam Twój blog tak samo, jak chyba wszyscy ludzie, którzy tutaj wchodzą. Masz już fanów na całym świecie, czego dowodem jestem ja ;). Życzę Ci dalszej inwencji twórczej! Pozdrawiam
I had exactly the same thought when i first saw those boots, they are so David Lynch.
Please post some outfits with the boots, can’t wait to see how you will wear them.

Hi Jane, it’s me Ava. I love the drawing of you. It is beautiful and special. <3 Ava
that is a very pretty necklace… and i love your cardigan:) sorry about the camera. i know how that feels… hope you get it fixed sooner than expected.
that portrait is amazing!!! and you already know how I feel about those boots ;)
I’m sorry for your cam :(. Can’t you just use the cam of your mother? Or does she use also your cam for her own blog?
Not a fan of cowboyboots but i love your outfit as always! The drawing is also very lovely. Happy Easter!
very interesting boots and the portrait is just….awesome!
that portrait is stunning – he does such fantastic work!
Also those boots = fabulousness. Love Margiela

Those boots are insanely crazzzily awesome!! =D Gutted about the camera though! (at least you have the boots to make up for it ;)

Hi Jane-
Happy Easter day!!! I’m so sorry to hear about your little dilemma about the camera. I love that Margiela boots. Have fun tonight at Ariel Pink.

Hi Jane-
Sorry about your camera, but hey, at least you have amazing boots! =)
I found these earrings (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=13721807) earlier and I thought you might like to check them out =)

AMAZING!!!!!
i was at ariel pink’s show last night! i drove down from tulsa with a buddy to see it. loved vivian girls but ariel pink’s set was really quite impressive, especially considering he wasn’t feeling well! <3
i'm gonna post some of my crappy pictures and videos from the show soon.
fffuuun!! my boyfriend introduced me to ariel pink.. i’ve been giving Oddities Sodomies Vol. 1 a listen for a while, and i hate to say but its kinda hard for me to get into! altho i hear it is all about the live music.
also- ariel pink.. kinda synonymous with paw tracks. i suggest you check out my friend- ‘dent may & his magnificent ukulele’, who is on that label. have fuuun!
great drawing-you look great
please everyone check out my blog

best pics. tell em to keep the deighty a while, get a holga or a brownie. just listen to dylan’s ‘everything is broken.’ he’d say the same thing. nice screenplay and portrait, not to mention the lynch boots. i’d say it was a damned good week. don’t worry you’ll get one to really complain about one day.
haha its so true… crimping is addictive!
love the shoes! amazing as always :)

Danny is such an amazing illustrator:)

hi jane,
i’ve spent the past 2 hours trying to find out where I can buy these degrade boots on-line. all my searches just send me to the cut out knee highs (which are also exquisite) or your website. did you buy them on-line by any chance? i’m super close to flying out to nyc to buy them, but surely there has to be an easier way. do they have a store in austin? or I can order by phone from their new york store? sorry, now i’m just thinking out loud…anyway, if you have an answer & you have time, please e-mail me. I don’t normally ask random people for this sort of help but I’m desperate! Thanks. -Maryam
p.s. are they true to size? if i’m a 7, i should order a 37?
the fur coat is gorgeous as is the peacock necklace! so amazing, though the boots arent my style, still look fab on you! x
i loveee the necklace!of the first photo!
You have so amazing clothes !
I love your blog !
