Editing wheel

I am currently occupied with my editorial duties for the evening (and likely tomorrow as well), and am feeding myself sugary 'food' substances in order to finish on time. Rachel Freire's A/W 10 lookbook magically dropped into my inbox today, and I find that this piece best describes how I feel. If I actually had this personal ferris-wheel/crane-arm-ish accessory to wear (click, and then click again to zoom in), I likely wouldn't mind it as much as I do this feeling of being trapped by all these words. Nonetheless, I will persevere. Rachel, feel free to send this my way.

Edit: This is also keeping me going - the entire new Caribou album, Swim.

Your call cannot be connected as dialed

I've had London-based designer Rachel Freire's site in my bookmark bar for the past few days since seeing a few of her new pieces on OutsaPop. I had also immediately emailed to get the full new lookbook to post for your viewing pleasure, but received only a busy signal. So thanks to Queen Michelle for letting me know that all the images from the A/W 10 collection are now posted on Rachel's site, where I can now pine after these pants. I discovered long ago that my dream pair of pants would have some form of those wrap around hip panels. Also, it seems I've found plenty of pants to quench my perfect trouser thirst, and yet none have yet fallen into my lap, so to speak. So these shall join the list of pants my legs shall never go through. Sigh.

 I also gasped when I saw this crystal headpiece/mask. I would seek out a masked ball just so I could wear this out. It reminds me of MirrorMask and Ever After. And I love the ruffled and zippered bodysuit/shorts/what have you. That's my version of the perfect something to dance around the house and eat delicious cookies and cream soy ice cream in.
