BITCHES BE TRIPPIN'





Ann Sofie-Back safety pin shirt, "Bitches be Trippin'" collar by Dimepiece, Marséll patent leather laceless brogues, Juicy Couture pants, blue suede H&M cropped moto jacket, Givenchy Pandora bag, sterling plated skull ring courtesy of Alberto Juan.



I flipped when I saw these Dimepiece collars. I got a black one with white crosses, and couldn't resist this one either. When my friend Josh first saw me wearing one of these, he laughed his ass off: "Is that a fake collar?! Like a dickie?!" But seriously, these go with everything -- well, maybe everything except dresses, but I rarely wear dresses.



I've had this suede moto jacket for eons. It's one of those pieces out of which I don't get much wear, but I love it so much that I could never part with it. It's the most unusual shade of blue; I guess I'd classify it as periwinkle. I felt it suited this ensemble today, for whatever reason. I think it adds to the intentional goofiness of the "Bitches Be Trippin'" collar. I hate it when people are all like "I NEVER try to be ironic in the way I dress! Fashion is ~serious business~" Come on, guys -- it's clothes. What's the deal with everyone wanting to look "timeless"? Sure, I own some stuff I'd consider timeless, but most of my things have playful elements. Hey, I'm milking my youth as long as I possibly can, and that does not entail wearing skirt suits.



I LOVE Marséll. Love. Interestingly enough, I've had these shoes for over a year now. Just recently have I felt it was the "right" time to start wearing them, nomsane? They are truly stunning -- the distressing on the white patent leather has sort of an indigo hue, and they have just the right amount of extra toe space so they look appropriately dorky, but not like I'm preparing to enroll in clown training. Not that there's anything wrong with being a clown, but if you are a clown, you should go all out. So clowns, these are not the right shoes for you. And even if you felt they were, sorry ... they're from several seasons ago.



Against my will, these shoes are the only Marséll I own. A year ago, I ordered a gorgeous black leather backpack that was stolen by a temporary UPS worker (along with *that* Christopher Kane atomic print dress). It pains me to even type this story, because that backpack and incredible dress would be in my closet RIGHT THIS SECOND had some UPS worker not gotten greedy around the 2009 holiday season. So, thanks, UPS asshole. If you ever feel like returning the items to me or even apologizing, feel free to shoot me an email. I'll hold my breath until you do! :D





Ann Sofie-Back never fails to astound me. I got this relatively simple little number from one of my favorite online stores, Stand Up Comedy. Obviously what sold me on it was the gigantic safety pin on the front, which makes the piece drape on the wearer's body in a really unique way. When I first ordered this, I was worried the safety pin would eventually rip large holes in the fabric (which is ~silkeh~ soft, by the way). Silly me for thinking ASB could produce anything even remotely inferior -- the holes where the safety pin enters are re-inforced, sort of grommet-style, but done in fabric because grommets on a t-shirt are yucky. Point being, this piece is a must-have basic for me, and I fucking love it.



Trip on, bitches &hearts

Nice outfit, esp like the Dimepiece collar and Ann-Sofie shirt (you can still buy that shirt somewhere?). Marsell have some nice sandals @ http://shopnumber4.com/

I can't believe some ass stole your parcel. What a sad person.

I love that you're bold enough to wear the BITCHES BE TRIPPIN' DimePiece collar. You look great! I've been going back and forth on purchasing the striped one.

IA with the above comment. I love that collar, stare @ it online like every godamn day, but I would never have the balls to wear it. MAD PROPS to you, Hal!

Dracula said...

Also, totally agree with you on the whole "looking timeless" bit. I'd rather look a little ridiculous.

hal you're a spoiled whore. just admit it. a $2000 bag? get fuckin real you idiotic spoiled brat. and I said it once and I'll say it again: your husband is repulsive. either he's wiping his ass with $100 bills or has a huge schlong, because I just can't rack my brain for any more reasons why you would ever marry him I guess you're essentially a prostitute. I bet you keep your eyes shut tight and imagine it;s Jared Leto when that hideous creature is screwing you. ugh, what a horrible thought, I think I'll scrub my brain wjth Comet now. Ta-ta, ugly bitch! I'm sure your son will be sooo proud of his freak show parents when he reaches school age. C

Love the Marsell shoes - I love Marsell as well. Also, anonymous is an ignorant superficial coward.

Anonymous: you're a boring person. Just admit it. I'm assuming you have neither a job nor a life, or you wouldn't bother anonymously harassing someone as insignificant and worthless as you accuse Hal of being. When you write "fucking", do my snobby ass a favor and please put the letter "g" at the end of "ing". I don't know anything about Bobby's schlong, but clearly you know nothing about sex - only people who never get laid think that good sex is dependent upon a huge penis. It's possible that Hal married Bobby because she loves him - real love being a concept that people floating in the superficial stratosphere can't comprehend. So you wish you could fuck Jared Leto? Okay. Does anyone care? Probably not. Just mix the Comet with a little water - not too much, you wouldn't want to dilute it to the point of ineffectiveness - and drink it: it will have the same outcome as scrubbing your brain with the stuff, and it will actually save you the work of opening your brain case. Make sure you drink plenty of it...if you have the spine. Which you most likely don't. If you had any sort of courage, you would offer Hal and the rest of us a detailed description - and an honest one, mind you - of who you are and what you do that makes you so high above everyone else, and let us decide whether or not you really deserve your inflated opinion of yourself. The reality is this: a person who spits phrases like "ugly bitch" at someone they clearly don't know is usually referring to their own character, whether they realize it or not. Congratulations.

Oh Anon, or 'C'...all the usual stuff that we normally say to trolls, blah blah blah.
Hal isn't ugly, so you're out on that count. And congratulations on being so open about your Jared Leto fetish (personally I find men in makeup a bit effeminate, but that's just me I guess) Sure, Bobby isn't to everyone's taste, but it's quite clear that Hal isn't going to pay much attention to one anonymous commenter and turn round and go 'oh my gosh, you're SO RIGHT in all your 1-dimensional observations about my life' and reform to what you think is sensible. Who the hell are you to tell someone who to love? I think that that baby is going to be far happier to have parents who are so obviously devoted to each other than to have some cookie-cutter family that aren't happy.
And no, it's none of my business either, but making snap decisions based on the tiny limited part of themselves that people share on their blogs is just stupid. But in your case, I'll make an exception as you clearly only chose to reveal that you're a vile individual with a heck of a lot of rage for someone you've never met. Go forth and get a life. Bye.

Megg said...

JARED LETO LOL omg what is this 1996?!? WTF is wrong with you. Hey "C"...die in a fire. You wanna be mean to someone? Try me on for size...I will end your emotional stability. I have no shame and have nothing better to do. You know Hal so well? ENLIGHTEN me please.

Julia said...

Huh, people are kinda mean, huh? But no matter: you are looking mega lovely in your topknot, and the little white-ish loafers are so very wonderful. I also love the closeup of your nailplish -- there's something about chipped black nails that's so sexy. My husband told me that once, and ever since then I've always noticed and appreciated it :)
