This week has already gotten off to an intense start, both in the fashion world and the New York world (temporarily not the fashion world). With Milan fashion week ending, Jil Sander having officially returned to Jil Sander, and Stefano Pilati officially gone from Yves Saint Laurent, as well as so many unanswered questions like: Will Hedi Slimane REALLY take over YSL? and if not, Why would someone be cruel enough to start that rumor (#HediForever)? What is going to happen to Raf Simons? Is Raf Simons going to take over YSL/Dior? What is going to happen to Stefano Pilati? Who is going to take over Dior? And what is the deal with the Christopher Kane rumors? Is he next to take on Dior? You can create a lot of questions by combing the names Hedi Slimane, Raf Simons, Stefano Pilati, Christopher Kane, YSL and Dior (extremely similar to the 'How many different combinations can you make with these three different colored shirts and these three different colored shorts' question from when you were younger but with far more importance). With all of this design talent seemingly running free, you cannot help but to wonder 'what is really going on?' Who ever thought that the fashion industry would be so much like Laura Palmer from Twin Peaks (you know, 'She's filled with secrets'), and be so full of rumors? I mean we all know it is, but with this much #major (decidedly the new buzzword) news at one time it is starting to feel a little too prepared. Now, while I am certain that I am looking too deeply into things, I do not think I am alone and I think who ever has the answers needs to come clean quickly before I turn into the main character from A Beautiful Life (the fashion version) and start posting clippings from WWD around my apartment and connecting them with David Yurman bracelets and necklaces.
As I write this I am listening to Carole King's 'So Far Away' and I am honestly asking myself 'Doesn't anybody stay in one place anymore?' Obviously not. Everyone is heading to Paris for Paris Fashion Week. Milan fashion week was as witch house as I expected it to be, further instilling my belief that Salem has the ability to influence culture on a global scale. After all, the lead singer was in the first issue of Style.com's printed magazine. At Versace there were literally garments drenched in crosses. Call it 'goth' all you want, at the end of the day we both know Donatella is listening to Ritualz while making collages of pixelated pictures of LiLo. Personally, I am extremely excited to see what this season's #pfw collections will have to offer. Especially Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs has been so total with the past two fashion week collections it would be a let down if this Fall 2012 show didn't live up.
Either way, with all of this going on, yesterday Jordan and I decided to escape it all with a walk around the village. We went back to the building from this post as well as this post. I decided to wear my vintage leather jacket that I rediscovered recently in my closet with a pair of Gap jeans and a waffle knit from BCBG. It was nice to be out in the sun even though it is still quite cold out. Hopefully everyone had a lovely weekend/start of the week. Miss you, love you, mean it later!

A hundred? Is it? How wonderful it is to mix and match these names. You'll have a great time and look when doing this.
