Kelly Lynae and Nicole Orabona inspired me with yesterday’s post of David Lynchian virgin-cum-vixen silhouettes.

I’m moving to the other side of the world in less than 24 hours, and when I’m stressed out my body tosses weight like cargo off a gangplank. During lean times, when I feel I have the proportions of a praying mantis, I rely on the figure-enhancing magic of 1950s and early ’60s silhouettes—with a modern twist.

Mulholland Drive, Laura Herring, Fashion, Frivolous Universe

My favorite movie is David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive. I love Mulholland Drive for its low brass, American notes (Winkie’s, Los Feliz nightlight, Club Silencio) contrasted with Naomi Watts and Laura Harring’s agnès b., workaday Parisian wardrobe.

Zebra flats: Donald J. Pliner

From the rhinestones on Betty’s coral-colored cardigan to the black halter dress Rita wears to Club Silencio, the girl is in the details.
