“There are people who read Pitchfork, and Vampire Weekend is the most mainstream...”
– Kris Chen of XL, Vampire Weekend’s label, talking to GQ about the band’s remarkable success.
I think this is a very succinct and accurate way of defining Vampire Weekend’s cultural niche. That niche has been occupied by some other bands; this isn’t exactly a new phenomenon. I think a close analog...

– Andrée Putman, legendary French interior designer (via jesssica)
There is such truth to this statement.

Monday
1. Savannah was fantastic, naturally. It came with with local coffee, Jazz’d-gasms, Venus de Milo & the gays, a first ever double date for Kelli & I, old friends, new boyf, torrential downpours, and overwhelming nostalgia.
2. I’m quite excited about my outfit today, consisting of things I’ve never worn together before. I’ve gotten extremely lazy and uninspired...

Instructions for Life
allthingsalishan:

This Wednesday morning came complete with two new loves of my life. Meet Chloé
and Tibi
I think Tibi would be a great alternative to this Matthew Ames dress. For those of you who know me, you know that means a lot, because I can’t do alternatives. It’s too emotionally taxing.

Better late than never.
My 10 goals for 2010.
1. Drink more water.
2. Exercise once a week (whether it be in the gym, skating, walking, any form, I think once a week is a manageable goal. Not to mention, I’d really like to put on a bathing suit this summer).
I’ve never worn a 2 piece, but this one is kind of perfect.
3. Make financial gains, not losses.
4. Think positive! Be thankful.
5. Be open to...

My motto for 2010.
Couldn’t agree more!
Yes.

– Glenn O’Brien to David Coggins, A Continuous Lean. Quite interesting interview, might I say.
New shoe love alert! The Prada perforated slingback sandal has caught my special attention. They kind of remind me of these Stellas from last spring. Only better.

– Alexander Olch to GQ
Bliss.
I’ve just had the most lovely two and a half week break from the perils of work and daily life. How spoiled I’ve been sleeping late, drinking too much, spending time with my best friends, laughing too much, lounging with my kitty, & being able to enjoy the light of day. I spent virtually no time at my computer, save for ordering my new Prada shoes, and have neglected this blog as...
