Better WATCH your tongue

Gonna miss Glee 'til it comes back in November! It's been so nice coming home to it after my busiest day of class every week. To mourn its absence and pay tribute to its delightful, well-dressed cast of characters, I am breaking with tradition and starting a Theme Week on Wednesday rather than Sunday. Welcome to the Week of Glee.

Day 1:

Kurt.

Though Glee's cast as a whole is blessed with consistently snappy costume designs, Kurt Hummel is unquestionably the show's magnetic north for fierce fashion.

Here is a small assemblage of items that would, perhaps, meet with his approval. Mix of men and women's clothes.

Sequined PYT Blazer - Fred Flare

Wool Blend Vest - Heritage 1981 (Men's)

Floral Flocked Dobby Coat - Free People




BDG Track Star Y-Neck - Urban Outfitters


And, of course...




Public Domain Foil Glasses Tee - Urban Outfitters

Well, that's five. I am tempted to do more; his dresser has the most enjoyable job ever. Feel free to add your own suggestions in the comments.


✯ ✯ ✯


And the song... Well, there is the obvious, of course. But let's try something new, too. Something that might also qualify as part of the soundtrack of Kurt's fabulous, fictional life.

I speak of Konichiwa Bitches.

Robyn - Konichiwa Bitches


Fin.

Got to get a new pair of shoes/to kick it with her/not kick it witchoo

Honest to Blog Hi-Tops in Leah - Modcloth

Supa sweet shoes. Too bad about all the dumb Juno references they're using to sell em.

Joe Iconis - The Bar Song

Been hidin' from the cold
Since the night began
Lord, we're gettin' old
So let's hide out while we can...

My lady, like a teacup on the counter

Doily Tie Dye Embroidery Tunic - Ruche


✯ ✯ ✯

Sergeant of Style Jacket - Modcloth


✯ ✯ ✯

Moriarty - Private Lily

My name is Lily
I'm nineteen years old
No money to study; no boyfriend;
I'm kinda bored...

I went to the trade fair
To find a job
There I met a few guys from the army
They told me
That I was smart and pretty

(Lyrics)

Love is a crying baby mama warned you not to shake

Menagerie Mittens in Cowardly Lion - Modcloth

Part of a new batch of things Modcloth is selling that they claim will "support rural craftsmen and women of Nepal." Not sure if I buy that without any specific details... for all you know, that could just mean "support rural craftsmen and women of Nepal by supporting the sweatshops that pay them their wages!"

The mittens are very cute, though.

Iron & Wine - Lion's Mane
(Lyrics)

Always love me some Iron & Wine. This song is warm and cozy just like mittens are.

I can't see me lovin' nobody but you, for all my li-i-ife!

Super Skinny Jean, Dark Ink Wash - American Eagle


These jeans are marvelous. I bought a pair about two weeks ago and I can't stop wearing them. American Eagle's jeans are generally very comfortable, and seem to be quite well made (for instance, I've never had AE jeans wear through at the thigh like with other brands)... My only beef with them is that sometimes they also look kind of thick when they're on, so they aren't the most flattering to your legs.

But these are different. At first, when the girl in the store suggested the "super skinny jean," I was skeptical. Wary, even. But I really liked the "dark ink wash", and they didnt have my size for it in the normal skinny. Only the super skinny. So, I shrugged my shoulders and took them to the dressing room... and thus began a beautiful friendship. I guess it makes sense, that for a place where the jeans look kind of thick, you'd want to go for the most streamlined cut they offer. Mmmm I love them. $40 is more than I usually spend on jeans, but it's looking like I'm gonna get a whole lot of mileage out of them, so I think it's justified.

Dear New Jeans,




The Turtles - Happy Together

Sincerely,
Me.

But I know you, see, you're my favorite star

Jason Mraz - Who Needs Shelter
(Lyrics)

I'm pretty sure this was the first Mraz song I ever heard, way back when I was about thirteen. :) Still pretty fond of it, and him. I like his music best when it's real acoustic though, so I haven't really followed his newer stuff, since it seems to be kinda studio-stylized... O well. He's a groovy guy in any case, and I think I'll always have a soft spot for him.

Once in a lullaby

RAINBOWARMERS: Cute Crocheted Rainbow Earmuff headpiece with clouds -- crimsonetclover on Etsy


Happy National Coming Out Day! :) Whether you want to make a bright pro-gay statement, or just wanna rock a cheery rainbow on those nasty cold days, OR BOTH, these earmuffs are an intensely cute style solution. I first got a pair made specially as a Christmas present for a friend, and they were frankly so amazing that I had to get one for myself too. (They're even using my customer appreciation pics as modeling shots in the item listing! ♥) They started out as a custom order that I requested from the seller/maker (so don't be afraid to contact her if they're out), and now they've become a semi-regular item in the shop's stock! And they just put a new pair up for sale today. Highly appropriate. I wore my own pair today to the National Marriage Equality March, and they were quite well-received by fellow marchers! Almost makes me look forward to going back to the chilliness of Pittsburgh. (They're very good at their job of warming your ears.)

Katie Kiyan, Allison Case, Kacie Sheik - Somewhere Over the Rainbow
(Lyrics)


This song was featured at the post-march rally at one point, and later on, so was the cast of HAIR! So, here is a lovely combination of those two lovely things. Enjoy!

Ah ouais je me disais bien, personne t'aime (Oh yeah, I told myself, "nobody loves you")

Cropped Stripe Sweater - Forever 21

Cute with an impact, and not too expensive. The color options give you two very different effects, and they're both strong I think! Plus a bit silly.

For the music, I think some French rock would be good, probably female vocals...

Mademoiselle K - Ça me vexe
(Paroles)
(Video musique)

Ah bon. This Gierak chick has a pretty fierce vibe to her, on top of a good rock voice. Could be someone to watch:








"Look ma, no shirt!"





-- Aha, interesting! From Wikipedia: "She (Katerine Gierak) was unclear at first about the combination of Rock music and French language, but seeing -M- performing during her adolescent years, she was convinced that there was nothing wrong with the combination." You may remember -M- (Mathieu Chedid) from an entry a couple weeks back (which also resulted in a picspam, haha). And so one legit artist inspires another!

Theo Stockman - Hallelujah

Not lol :( Theo! How can you be such a creeper at certain times and so extremely heartbreaking at others! The man contains multitudes.

This performance is from "The Last Goodbye": Romeo & Juliet + The Music of Jeff Buckley. I remember hearing about that when it was going on and knowing a couple of the people performing in it (from other shows, not personally, duh)... Wish I'd gone! If this clip is anything to by, it was not a bad show. Or Theo was rather good in it, at the very least.
