HEARTTHROB @ Middlesex

We all showed up in black and white and red, totally unplanned. Sometimes that happens.

Come back little raven, and bite my face.

Heavy Metal chain scarf - Obey. On sale at Karmaloop!

What I wore to a Super Bowl party in Jamaica Plain, at Korinn's. She owns Ula Cafe and obviously the food there was amazing. There were two roast ducks, jambalaya, meatballs, tabouli, and probably four different sauces.

I really liked carousels as a kid. Chrissie and I still went on the carousel at Martha's Vineyard three summers ago. I would probably wear these:

Take me back to your place, I wanna see how you live. I wanna see your bed. Let's call it an experiment.

Good thing it was sunny out today. My car broke down and I had to walk to where my mom works so I could drive her car to sculpture class.

Sharon and I had to take down our installations last week but we took pictures. Sharon owns a zillion cute sweaters, so I told her she should work at Anthropologie. Art is tough for me because I don't want to fake it. I just want all my obsessions and compulsions to come out and not have to explain myself.
That's how I feel about dressing. I know my outfits are boring! Today I wore all gray. I tried painting my nails hot pink 3 days ago but I hated it and now they're black again. I'm adverse to ruffles. I avoid blouses. I don't own a pair of brown shoes. Is it bad that I know what I like?

If I run uphill I'm out of breath, if I spend all of my money I've got no money left.

When I was a kid, I played a lot of music. Violin + viola + piano = no long nails, no rings, no bracelets. I stopped playing last year and I can't stop wearing all three. I started wearing rings only last month... I guess I'm a late bloomer? I also didn't really wear heels until two years ago.

Bracelets - vintage, Forever 21

New Obey collection is hitting 80spurple and Karmaloop now. The 'Silence' tunic is my favorite:







What do you think? The fringe and the studs have some DIY potential...

He took one look at me and said, I can fix that hole in you.

body chain - a(r)mor, jeans - Tripp NYC, tights - Target

Studio days are awkward. I don't want to wear anything I like, but I want to wear stuff I like.

I took these on my iPhone while I was in Chelsea. Audrey Kawasaki and James Marshall at Jonathan Levine Gallery, Comme des Garcons store, Shepard Fairey, and a glowing window.

Karmalookbook

Went to the men's lookbook shoot for Karmaloop yesterday. Jasmine got us some free gear to wear in the background! The pants are by an Icelandic streetwear label called Nikita.


tee by Two In The Shirt, pants by Nikita, boots by Alice & Olivia for Payless


I think I'd style these pants with this draped Hussein Chalayan top and a bag by KMRii...

Stay tuned for new lookbook shots!

Gotta get myself into it

The Sartorialist book is out today!

I have lots of things to be excited about.
1. The Sartorialist book is out and you can get it at Amazon for $16.50! But I'm going to try and get it from the library first, since my bookshelf is crammed with school books.
2. Nicola Ticola is doing a t-shirt giveaway. Click here to check them out and enter to win :]
3. Project Runway!!! I hope it's as good as it was on Bravo.

I need to find the designer of this dress, Ashlee Simpson looks fabulous in it. Can anyone help? Or is it a top/skirt?

Come on, sunshine

First off, Nitrolicious posted the new collection of Topshop boots!

This is a really basic outfit since I wasn't feeling up to it. I got the tee and perforated sneakers on Karmaloop with my gift codes :]







tee - Blood is the New Black, shorts - Volcom, bracelet - DIY, sneakers - Ash Shoes
I'm not really a makeup person, but if your brows and lips get washed out in photographs (like mine do), Anastasia brow powder and Rimmel lipstick in Eastend Snob will do the trick!

Obey Exeriment Redux at ICA Boston

Artist Shepard Fairey (aka the man behind the iconic Obama T-shirts) came back to Boston for the closing of his show at the ICA. The event sold out and tickets were going for $200 on eBay, but luckily Karmaloop had a few to spare for the interns and we got to go! I think it went better than the opening party because Fairey didn't leave in handcuffs this time.

Jasmine and Kathy, the stylish ladies from LA. Jasmine's romper is American Apparel vintage, I loved it.


Brittany, Joanne, and me. Brittany is wearing her new dress from Karmaloop!

oh, hi.

Hi, I'm Aimy.

I go to school at Brandeis University and I am majoring in studio art. My minors are economics and business, but I like taking sociology, Japanese, and history classes too.
My bf took this photo for my chictopia blog, which I keep abandoning because I am not good about updating with photos. I don't take enough photos of the things I make either, and I like to make things. Hopefully this blog will keep me on track.


See that rock at the top of the stairs? I took it from campus covered it in rhinestones for a digital photography prop. I should put it back.
