In which I am amazed by trends
Seriously. What more needs to be said? When my September issue of Vogue appeared in my woefully inadequate mailbox (yes, the fall issue is what I lovingly call “the CostCo edition” because it’s like buying a case of peanut butter when one jar will do. I won’t be finishing this bad boy until roughly April 2011) I flipped idly through it’s gargantuan pages only to gasp in awe and wonder at this spread. Wellies! Beagles! Plaid! A distinct lack of what I thought was Tommy’s only style! What is that, you ask? Well, in my limited observation, it was vaguely dated polos who screamed, “I live on a boat, make way more money than you, but yet am compelled to wear a solid yellow shirt with a broad stripe of red down the middle to prove it, instead of just lounging on the deck in my overpriced shim-shams.” Nothing precise, mind you. Just the spendy but underwhelmed vibe.
Anyhoodle, Tommy has surprised me, and now I am lusting. And I really want to go on a picnic in an old car with an amazingly good-looking multi-ethnic family and several thousand dollars of great clothes. And a beagle.
Speaking of fashion and swooning, check this out:
Are you serious right now?!
Anthropologie’s fall catalog is all about horses and brown and I am breathless. I’ve always sort of dressed like a plaid-shirted ragamuffin, but THIS! This is Cowgirl Couture! This is my dream!
*Pant, hands flutter*
I want to frame every single picture. And be the model.
Also, far-left pic could have been taken on my parent’s ranch. Seriously. That is exactly what it looks like, beautiful girl in plaid and running horses and all.
Also – LOOK to the right! SHE’S CARRYING A SADDLE! This is the prettiest thing I have ever seen. Now you watch, a bunch of little hipster girls are going to try to have an “Anthro wedding” based on this catalog… but you, my dear readers… will know. We did the straw and plaid and horsey vibe BEFORE it was cool.
You saw it here first.
(Also, I’ve decided that I’m going to use my massive installment of Vogue to get sweet gams like these models. Holy arm-muscles, cowgirls! You must carry saddles and the September issue at the SAME TIME.)
