day off.

yay. i finished summer school last week and then had to work for the past 5 days. but today, i was off and it felt amazing. after my usual bagel from NYC bagel deli and Peet's coffee, i met my friend kyle for a visit to the Greencity Farmer's Market held in Lincoln Park. 

peaches, onions, purple peppers, yellow squash, tomatoes, purple rain carrots, purple potatoes, flowers, blueberries, and raspberries - oh my. i guess i am into purple produce. 
i bought these beautiful purple rain carrots. (isn't that name amazing? they also had purple haze carrots - so cute!) they were delicious in my salad. 

then the chalupas and i went to the montrose beach for a stroll. so nice to be by the water.

action jackson.

i am so over jumping shots, where the model is mid-air with curls a bouncing - yawn. thank god for models like these, who work action and shapes without being trite. ps, i think this is from russian vogue, but unsure, sorry. 

miss daria werbowy.

yes. i fucking love daria, i have for many a season. her look is always so alluring and exciting. miss werbowy is letting you and i have it in this spread from parisian vogue. note her beautiful relevé and extended foot. 

uhm...

meghan l, is da chu?!! my friend meghan is a dream, you'd love her. everyone does. here are some other images that remind me of her. 

lust.

oak. gimme. 

cloche anyone?

uncle karl does fall 09 couture. 

i keep hearing rumoring he is retiring....but, maybe it's just from chanel and he will only work on his own label...who knows. 

rainy day.

ducks in a row hanging out in the rain. cuuute. 

today was super gloom and doom during the morning/afternoon, but i took an adventure to the westside and hit up the garfield conservatory. 

on the way there were a ton of old, dilapidated churches. the yellow on this church was more acidic in person. 

an amazing dome on the garfield park field house, just down the street from the conservatory.

 

inside i spent some time at the koi fish pond. 

i love the shape of a green house. 

sorry about the rainy window, i was scared to take his pic, but this macho biker totally belted his camoflauge poncho!!! when i was driving behind him, the poncho filled with wind and looked super yohji yamamoto. it was amazing. 

r.i.p.

summer.
