Just a little bit of Weird

Today my Grandpa and I wen to the de Young museum in San Francisco for "The Fashion World of Jean Paul Gaultier From Sidewalk to Catwalk" exhibit. It was pretty fantastic. I have to admit some of his stuff is pretty strange, but it was simultaneously beautiful. The craftsmanship was excellent and the detail on everything was amazing. I had been planning to take pictures to show you all but as I have said before I was stupid enough to leave my camera in Colorado, so I shall find some of the stuff I saw on the internet and share it here. Enjoy!

My favorite style of his was the geometric shapes that create a really great structure and a mix futuristic space suit and victorian corset look 

crocodile skin and crochet lace, I saw a video of how this one was made

Madonna anyone?

These two are two of his "Bride's Gowns" which are traditionally the last garment of an Haute Couture fashion show that try to sum up the whole mood of the line. I think his bride gowns are some of the best I have ever seen, they so perfectly captured the essence of his style. 

This one reminds me of a snake, it was part of his "cage" line

Tropical Forest!

This one reminds me a lot of the birth of venus

Made completely of denim, cool right?

all houndstooth. all. even the cigarette holder.

 is that Lady Gaga under there?

Pants made out of film. Totally cool, but I think it would get a little sticky and uncomfortable

And of corse, Jean Paul himself and his signature stripes. From now on whenever you wear blue and white french stripes you must think of Jean Paul Gaultier because he practically invented them, well not really but close enough.

Well, I had a good day, and now you can feel as if you were with me on this fun day! Except you weren't. haha. 

Also, yesterday was my birthday! happy Birthday to me! 

Also also I saved $503 at Loehmann's, I was quite impressed

Also also also the Olympics are so great! Yay team USA! except they make me miss London so if USA doesn't win i want team GB to win.

San Fran-Cisco!

After two weeks of summer homework doing and two weeks of stressful work doing I am now in sunny (or at least party sunny) California! YAY! Yesterday, My sister, cousin, and friend and I went to San Francisco for a shopping expedition and some sushi. THe store we went to is the reason for this post, it was called "Jeremy's".

 It was amazing. Us small town Colorado girls didn't even know how to handle it. It was kind of like T.J. Maxx or Marshals but for really great designers and fancy stuff, and had much better lighting. When we were there it just so happened to be 80% off all sale items and swim wear. AMAZING! sadly I forgot my camera back in Colorado (stupid stupid Mae) so I cannot show you pictures of what I got, but I will try to find pictures on the magical internet.

First I got a raspberry pink sequin bandeau swimsuit top, like this just pink. Free People swim suit top, originally like $68 or something and i got it for how much? $3.20!!!!!!! HOLY COW

Super Super soft sweatshirt thingy from Alternative Earth for $15 originally $44! I haven't taken it off yet

"We the Free" (sub-line of Free People) cropped vest that ties in the front. I haven't ever worn anything like this before but you know, it was only $1.50 so i just couldn't resist

AND I got  white tiered eyelet highwaisted swimsuit bottoms but i cannot find a picture of them, but they were also $3.20, and are very very cute.


Then! My friend got a St. John pink suede jacket that was originally $1,395, but she got it for, drum role please, $15!!!!!!!!! I also can't find a picture of it, but I'm sure you can imagine the beauty of it


Well, that is about all I want to write right now, I should probs go eat something now

kisses, Mae!
