the great wheel

Yesterday my "boston boo" (a.k.a my darling and wonderfully talented friend Caroline) was in town. So that meant not only do I get to act like a tourist in my own city which I LOVE doing I got to hang out with her as well. Her one request; go on the ferris wheel. And I've been dying to go! So it worked out.

After that we walked around Pike Place and shopped. It was quite a lovely day.

 

It's getting hot here in Seattle, however I am a bit hesitant about it staying. So I've been wearing dresses but bringing a coat (because it does get cold at night) The thing is I've been wanting to wear black, a lot lately. And it's not ideal for the sun. However, fuck it! It's fashion. My style, wear what I want, when I want.

See my mother bought this piece of art that happens to be a dress from Totokaelo and I've been so excited about wearing it.

It's such a strange piece of work! You can play with it, mold it, and it even has a hood. I don't know how to explain it and these photos don't do it justice, but DAMN! I love having a mom who knows how to shop. (And me, being her daughter who knows how to borrow a.k.a. steal it.)

If you didn't know Supreme is currently suing Married To The Mob for there "Supreme Bitch" logo. My mentor and lovely friend Gabriella over at MISS CREW wrote a brilliant article about the whole thing. She truly breaks it down so elegantly.

The funniest thing is about both companies is that they "stole" "copied" or "sampled" the one and only badass that is Barbara Kruger. (If you've followed this blog for awhile, you know I am a massive fan of her work.)

Complex magazine actually reached out to Kruger about her thoughts on the whole law suit and well... she gave the best answer.

Either way, I am strong believer that nothing is original. Everything is an idea off another idea that has already been around for years. That we, as people, writers, bloggers, poets, artist; sample all the time and copy each other. The key is to recognize the fact.

Steal like a true artist! Because the best ones do.

ALSO! I took my mom to the upscale boutique Totokaelo on Cap Hill. It's uber expensive but so glamours and elegant. You will break the bank shopping there, but damn! It's so worth it. My mom picked up two pieces she said I could visit every one in awhile.
