There will be wine. It’s gonna be amazing. That is all.
First up Rag & Bone RTW 2010:
bulky knit layers, strung gloves around the neck – through the arm holes would have been much too childish.
belted scarf, yes.
i have been trying to solve this muff problem for a while. they’re great but you have to hold on to them, which is a drag. Rag & Bone does the muff necklace, brilliant.
On the topic of muffs, these wrist cuffs by Pringle of Scotland are in the same vein:
And lastly, Malandrino:
that purse is amazing. I am really onto the concept of doing yarn fringes in my upcoming collection.
so badass.
This film is amazing. Jeff Bridges, need I say more. Got me on an old country kick, listening to outlaw country records and dreaming of rickety barns, horses, rocky mountains and open fields, camping lakeside, drinking whiskey by the fire, playing cards, being dusty. And cowboys, there’s just something about cowboys.
Right now I’m hyper alert to things that are inspiring me, pouring everything into designing my next larry. collection. The nostalgia for old country you get from this film is a big drive for me in this process. Just makes me want to pile into an old Dodge and retreat to the Cariboo, hole up with my dog and a set of knitting needles and get to work.
I’d fully recommend getting your hands on the Crazy Heart soundtrack for starters, there’s some great tunes on there. I’m going to hit up the thrift stores and look for some old honky tonk records to add to my small but growing collection.
Two pretty awesome new music videos I’ve seen in the last day that are worthy of sharing.
Gorillaz ‘Stylo’
Starring Bruce Willis = how could you go wrong really.
And, OK Go ‘This Too Shall Pass’
I don’t even want to think about how many times it would have taken to get that right. Impressive.
I picked up this book of poetry by a Vancouver writer, Senka Kovacevic, and can’t shake this poem from my head:
Where the Sun Reposes
When you are far
Oh when you are far
You guide my attention like a star
You are at the place where the sun reposes
All bathed in gold and clouds tinted of rosesBut if I crossed this ocean
I’d shake off this potion
And again in the distance see my beautiful devotionAgain this Midas glow is out of reach
A happy movie with muted speechAgain I reach the horizon and the sun has moved
And that distance is flattering is all that I’ve proved
It’s rare for me to pick up a book of poetry and actually buy it. I seldom even get too into reading poems – often they’re so convoluted and twisted in disguise that it’s a chore to read. I like these poems because I know exactly what the author is talking about in how it relates to my own experience, but she doesn’t sacrifice her power of articulation by establishing an obvious connection with her reader.
Wishing Well is another stand out:
You are my wishing well
My most precious coins you have swallowed
Those hopes have sunk to the littered floor
My pockets are hollowedWhen your currency is faith and trust
Your pocket is inside your chest
And when it’s empty, your eyes with tears are filled
Which spill into the well and increase the depthAnd now there is a greater distance
To dive to reach those abandoned wishes
I only hope that I can hold my breath
Long enough to save those future kisses
Tulip Press, find it!
Tegan & Sara are fully decked out in “larry.” garb in their new ‘Alligator’ music video, as are their backup dancers. Can’t get the song out of my head, and love their take on the winter wonderland theme, how very Canadian.
Stereogum had this to say:
Tegan & Sara pick much better costumes for “Alligator,” with some winter crochet wraps that exist somewhere between Oak and Etsy.
And Prefix Magazine calls the pieces “stylish crochet headwear.”
I graciously forgive both publications for mixing up crochet and knitting.
The girls are wearing the Sheridan Shawl and La Hache Scarf, hand-knit with BC alpaca yarn.
Watch the full music video on MUCH MUSIC!
