Style Icon: Tao Okamoto

She's my hero.

Also, whowhatwear did a "Model Off Duty" post on her the other day. Check it.

catwalk

In the airport waiting to board my flight. Flying stresses me out so much. I didn't sleep last night. Instead, I watched a fantastic documentary called Catwalk (1996).

It's all about 90's supermodels. Basically a camera follows Christy Turlington around while she goes to fittings, hangs out with other major players in the fashion industry, and of course walks the runway.

She is gorgeous, is she not?
I loved these pictures of her hanging out with supermodel friends.

I have mentally checked out for the week.

when they were young

Baby Kate!

Aged 14.

Can you guess who?
How freaking gorgeous was Elizabeth Taylor?

What an absolute shame to lose someone so young and vibrant. Strange how I was just admiring Daul Kim's Russh editorial the day before. Poor girl.

i miss warm oceans

... now that i'm landlocked.

Music video for "feel it all around" by washed out, my new favorite song for calming down. Gotta love HD videos.

black boots

Outfit post from a few days ago. Using my computer's camera while my real one is still broken.


Wearing a Forever21 sweater, shorts, and doc marten knock-offs from Target.

I completely enjoyed counting the number of people who did a double take as I trekked by in these boots. I guess they aren't too common here.
