Meet London based graphic designer Jimmy Turrell. More about him here.
I want that RADIOHEAD graphic like whoa.

Holy Hedi.

Mr. Slimane you are a god of the black and white photograph.

Shoe-palooza.

JaclynJohnsonr@gmail.com (Some Notes on Napkins) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 20:32:00 +0000

It's been a while since I did a massive shoe porn post so voila! Here you go! Some of these a love and some of these I appreciate for pure fashion value and perhaps seeing someone like Daphne Guinness wear them to the grocery store. The ones I love are the blue suede VERSACES (yum!), The Gian Marco Lorenzo Studded pumps( one of my favorite shoe designers this season) and the embellished sandals which I am sure are a bitch to wear. The office kicks are super rad as are the flesh toned GZs and I had had had to include the crazy ass D & G face shoes!

Fall Florals.

I have said it before and will say it again....Etsy is a goldmine. This floral ethnic print coat is AH-MAZ-ING and only $38, awesome. Plus the ever popular sharp shoulder dress from UO and some lace skimmers. Fall...Watch out.

Totally loving the platinum hair and black eyebrows. This photoshoot for V Magazine is hot, hot, hot.

Happy Halloween!

hey boy!

JaclynJohnsonr@gmail.com (Some Notes on Napkins) — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:36:00 +0000

The Fall collections I have been seeing are extremely prep school/boyish inspired and Steven Alan's new Fall Lookbook is no exception! I love it and feel like it's a great transition from the grunge trend we just came off of! What do you guys think?

Love Cats.

Alexey Malina

I have a weird affinity towards images of people without eyes (that sounds so weird but I am going with it). I found these awesome prints on Alexey Malina's BEHANCE and fell in love with the comic book/modern feel.

Get Those Boots Dirty.

JaclynJohnsonr@gmail.com (Some Notes on Napkins) — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 04:59:00 +0000

The Reed Shirtdress from ANTHROPOLOGIE is totally inspiring this season and by inspiring I mean totally recycled from the 70s yet totally remains an epic piece for anyone's wardrobe. You can probably find a similar version at any GOOD thrift shop but if you find yourself coming up empty this is a good alternative. Paired with some masculine boots + and a vintage chunky necklace and you have officially balanced the masculine feminine style equation.

Sunshine Monologues

Apologies for the intermittent postings. I have had QUITE-A-WEEK. I got laid off last week and am now going through the whole "WHAT-DO-I-DO-WITH-MY-LIFE" phase and I must say I am thoroughly enjoying it! Thank you for all your support and comments I am excited I will actually have time to go through them all :).
On a side note I found this amazing Tumblr with inspiring poetry and thought I would share it with you guys, enjoy!....

PepperMinte

JaclynJohnsonr@gmail.com (Some Notes on Napkins) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:23:00 +0000

I stumbled across "pepperminte's" work while browsing online and I love it. I tend to like artists who interpret people in their own way whether by style or distinct feature it really feels like you know each character in the painting. Her work can be found here.

Detention Outfit

JaclynJohnsonr@gmail.com (Some Notes on Napkins) — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 23:02:00 +0000

I Want all of this stuff. I have been noticing the fishtail Tee trend going a bit more mainstream and I am a huge fan! The leopard Rachel Comey skirt is TDF and the Dolce Vita Boots are a major want for fall especially @ 88 bucks. Always loving what Bijules is up to particularly with this AMEFYST ring which screams raw style.

Chunk It Up.

JaclynJohnsonr@gmail.com (Some Notes on Napkins) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 16:36:00 +0000

When it comes to bracelets I say the chunkier the better which is why I fell in love with Philippe Audibert's collection. Tons of chunky glorious pieces including this large manchette bracelet which is already sold out :(

Pauline thought that love was simple
turn it on and turn it off
Jean-Marie was complicated
like some French filmmaker's plot
Gina was the perfect lady
always had her stockings straight
Jackie was a rich punk rocker
silver spoon and a paper plate.

Wren Fall 2009

JaclynJohnsonr@gmail.com (Some Notes on Napkins) — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 18:06:00 +0000

I was lucky enough to meet LA Based designer of WREN, Melissa Coker, last night (who is epically stylish and sweet!). Wren's Fall collection is literally a dream collection slightly tomboyish, whimsical, and chic. I want everything. How far away is Christmas?

Becca

JaclynJohnsonr@gmail.com (Some Notes on Napkins) — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 18:08:00 +0000

I love street art and I love fashion, so when the two come together I get extremely excited. I spotted one of Becca Midwood's pieces on Larchmont in Los Angeles instantly fell in love and I had to learn more about her. Turns out she just did an interview with UNURTH.com and you can read all about her. I hope to see more of her work around Los Angeles!

LNA Clothing + The Delta Fiasco

JaclynJohnsonr@gmail.com (Some Notes on Napkins) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 18:15:00 +0000

LNA Clothing just launched their new Fall LookBook with their IMO amazing new line modeled by "The Delta Fiasco" (The super sexy band straight from Liverpool, England). In honor of their new album coming out "Blood will have Blood" LNA has created an epic T-shirt and will be throwing a Fashion Week party in LA @ Revolve Clothing on the 22nd (more to come on that) with a very special performance by The Delta Fiasco. Check out their video for "blood will have blood" below!

Blue Suede Shoes.

JaclynJohnsonr@gmail.com (Some Notes on Napkins) — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 16:42:00 +0000

One Vintage continues to blow me away! I love these bright blue shoes paired with the more casual jeans and Boho tunic. I am struggling to get into a Fall state of mind (soon ish!) but I will say this Sherlock Holmes-esque coat from Urban Outfitters is seriously amazing!

This shoot is major inspiration for my Fall wardrobe.
