Suspiria

Are you guys getting ready for Halloween yet? I am…or at least, my dad is. He put up his decorations this weekend. My dad lives for Halloween, which cracks me up because he can be a little tight-laced sometimes. Not when it comes to decking his house for Halloween!

 

There are three of these big spiders in the house…and even some dangling from the roof outside.

I went over today to keep Denise company…she told me the spiders were creeping her out.

Wearing Levi's jeans, thrifted polyester plaid shirt, unknown scarf, and Proenza Schouler booties.

 

 

Blech..I'd love to spend this gloomy day working on some projects and eating Halloween candy, but I think my sister has passed her swine flu on to me. Guess I'll be in bed watching scary movies. Being sick is so annoying when there is shit that needs to get done.

First scary movie on my list: Dario Argento's Suspiria (1977)

The music in this movie is awesome!

Happy Halloween everyone…

xo Jane

    Not too keen on the spider decorations I must admit. I love teeny little spiders- they’re cute (I’m weird), but the big ones worry me..
    I do love your outfit though, the colours in the scarf and shirt look great together.

    love this outfit. your casual outfits are the best in my opinion, so much individuality in otherwise straight-laced pieces. scarf? flannel? jeans? ankle boots? all of it comes to form this great patchwork of quirk and detail. love the scarf + boots combo. love. obviously.

    I just tried to watch Suspiria on OnDemand. That movie scared the shit out of me. I made it through thirteen minutes and just thought, “Can’t do it.” Great art direction, though.

    You just earned major film geek cred by putting the masterful Suspiria at the top of your watch list! Be sure to check out the rest of the Argento catalogue (pretty much everything pre Il Cartino is worth a look). You may also want Cemetery Man (Dellamorte Dellamore) by Michele Soavi as well as The Beyond by Lucio Fulci – that’s plenty of Italian giallo cinema to get you through your sick days.
    Get well soon ^_^

    I LOVE Suspiria! Saw it for the first time recently, its just stunning and actually quite scary in some parts (but also unintentionally funny at times). Very entertaining and very David Lynch. Get well soon!

    Yay, I love Suspiria! I’m going to see it on the big screen
    at the Alamo Ritz on Sunday- can’t wait to see it huge…
    The Goblin soundtrack is amazing – one of my all-time faves.

    I hope you get better soon! I just recovered from my sickness, it was awful. :(
    The screencaps you have from Suspiria look ridiculous, so much red!

    Argento is the man. Opera is another favorite of mine aside from Suspiria. I believe the majority of music used in his films is by progrock group Goblin.

    Jane have you listened to Cromatics? They sound suspiria-esque- really good! Also the After Dark EP with Chromatics & Glass Candy and others is good. I’ve already decked out my house too ;)

    that movie looks awesome. corny as they are, vampire movies are my undoing…I used to watch a ton as a kid.
    Definitely will be watching it to wait out my knee surgery recovery.
    The colors in your outfit work perfectly. love it. those boots DO look like ski boots.

    Taken from NYMag, we just thought you should know:
    The FTC just passed some new regulations that require bloggers to disclose when something they’re writing about is actually free swag a company sent them for publicity. Wired notes that the world of wine blogs will take a pretty hard hit; fashion blogs could, too. Full disclosure: People send us free stuff sometimes. Everything from laundry detergent to nail polish to moisturizer samples to eyeshadow to toothpaste to handbags to jeans. Do we write about these things? At the risk of screwing ourselves out of more freebies: no. We don’t feel obligated to invite people we don’t like to our birthday parties and we don’t feel obligated to write about things just because someone sent them to us for free. However, smaller, independent blogs that focus on products — say, fragrances or handbags or skin creams — surely receive lots more free products to review. They don’t often tell readers, “Someone sent me this for free and I happened to like it so I’m telling you I like it.” If a company pays a blogger to say nice things about their products, the blogger must likewise admit that in the post, according to the FTC’s new rules.
    The basic premise of the new regulations is great. People deserve to know when anyone is endorsing something simply because it’s free. But what about print publications? They may borrow clothes and send them back (though not even every article of clothing is returned), but that’s not the case for beauty products, which companies send to bloggers with no expectation that they’ll come back. (What would they do? Send them out again? “Dear Marie Claire, Enclosed is a jar of our BRAND NEW MOISTURIZER containing REAL PEARL SHAVINGS and THE BLOOD OF SEAHORSES that Vogue and Elle editors have already sampled. Thought you might enjoy a third go at it! Cheers, YOUTHFUL LOTIONS OF THE SEA.”)
    But if the FTC will impose fines on people who so much as tweet about products they’re getting paid to endorse without saying so, they should also crack down on affiliate links. Many blogs covering products include links to where you can buy that product online. Those sites then give the referring blogs a cut of the profits for the recommendation. In the fashion blogosphere, that is probably a bigger problem (if it is a problem — people do have to make a living) than is bloggers endorsing freebies they happen to actually like, or even getting paid for the vote of confidence. The FTC is yet to clarify these regulations. Maybe they should “get online,” as they say, start a Twitter account, and throw us a tweet when they’ve come up with a revised set of rules that makes more sense.

    Those are some intense decorations! I have to admit, I have a huge phobia of spiders and I had to scroll down really quick to avoid that hairy spider picture! Your outfit is so cute and the first thing that popped into my head was “D Squared.” The cuffed jeans paired with the Proenza Schouler booties go perfectly with the plaid shirt!

    oh i love suspiria! i am a big fan of dario argento (if you haven’t seen ‘opera’, add that to your list. i think it’s his best.). when i first saw suspiria, i couldn’t tell if it was awful, or amazing. but then i kept wanting to see it again and again, so i had to go with amazing. i hope you feel better soon!

    I only visit your site once every few weeks so it was strange that I actually had a dream about you last night. I was a guest at your house and we were sitting outside eating lunch when you reached over and gave me a handful of lawn grass and herbs, like Rosemary and Oregano. As I peered at them curiously wondering why you’d given me those things, they suddenly turned into tiny little (live!) animals. There was a duck and a bird and a turtle and a rabbit. They were all only the size of jellybeans and they were fat and tumbling around clumsily, bumping into each other. Then you looked down at my sandals and you said, “I like your shoes”. That was the end of the dream.

    IF you can find or want to find a copy of it, there is an awesome/hilarious music video by goblin at the end of the VHS of suspiria. It is very Anton Lavey church of satan kind of silly but the aesthetic is still worth it.

    longtime lurker here :) Have you seen George Romero’s _Martin_? It’s not like Argento’s movies at all, but it’s a really interesting take on the horror genre. not very scary though. give it a look.
    love those shoes!
