Melanie Griffith as lulu/Audrey in Something Wild (1986)
NEED this tape player purse
Buffalo hand knitted sweater from my grandma marcie, wrangler chambray button down, cheap monday eiffel tower jeans, reconstructed plush coat from the flea, vintage leather embossed bag, armani sunnies, denim booties decorated by me back in high school.
I can't get over the interiors in this movie, especially Lulu's room above which is pretty much exactly what I wish my apartment was like, and probably would be like if I could paint my walls. Instead, I try to cure my allergy to white walls with an overwhelming amount of posters, paintings, postcards, plants...
My friend Aly and I have been harvesting cheap motel/road trip/roadside attraction/mom n pop shop motifs and screenshots from different movies for her most recent concept for a collection and probably because we are both pining to get out of the city a/k/a THIS DUMP clearly depicted in the picture of what I wore on Monday...I know, it's Wednesday. I assure you, I have to pull out a lot of hair, cry and scream, and peel off my exoskeleton of stress before getting anything done these days. I haven't even had time to figure out what I'm going to be/do for Halloween, which is seriously terrifying because I think this is the first time it has ever been put on the back burner. At any rate, this movie really took me back to the look I was going for in high school(exemplified by the denim shoes)--WAY too much jewelery, little bangs, black leggings-no, black unitard, anything leopard...I would have FLIPPED for this girl. I know my look hasn't changed much but it used to be a who-lotta mo crazier...now it's all internalized YA KNOW
ALSO the soundrack for this movie is amazing, john cale + laurie anderson
