THE ROMPER SHOOTHello friends!Apologies for not posting in the last couple months. I've been busy working a variety of awesome projects; DJing and also assisting Julie Brooke Williams, an amazing stylist who's just been signed with Exclusive Artists Management. You can check out some of her portfolio on their site, under "NY Stylists" http://www.eamgmt.com/ Congratulations lady! I will have pictures up from the shoots as soon as I have 'em. I'll be spinning monthly at Le Poisson Rouge, and if you're in NYC this weekend, will be playing the tunez at the Elridge for a private party Saturday. Email me if you'd like to come get down. Now let's get down to business. If you know me, you know I love onesies. Rompers. Jumpsuits. Playsuits. Whatever you want to call them, I wear 'em all. It started because I was lazy, and loved being able to pick out a single item of clothing and be done with my outfit. Like everything I do (sigh) it caught on quickly and the romper phenomenon is in full effect this summer. Of course you can find a decent one at Forever21 or Oak, but I've tried hard to select only the cream of the crop for my collection. To document my obsession I've enlisted the help of my good friend and aspiring sylist Emma Grunebaum. She took all the photos you'll see here and gave me all the direction (the sailor stripe red piece with the stuffed animal and pigtails? Her call!). Thanks to Emma, again, for the shots. I have a total of 21 pieces, 17 of which I've chosen to post here. Without further ado...  Bought this little baby on Ebay. Recommended wearing: MGMT concert or when you're in a really crowded place without a cell phone trying to find your friends. No, really, it works.  Found this at Gabay's on 1st and 13th. I haggled and got it for $20. No tag. This might be one of my earliest pieces. It's by some European brand called "Eurythmics" or something but I can't be sure, cause that shit is at the dry cleaners. This is a leather number by Samantha Pleet. Pretty sure they didn't produce it, but I picked it up before IHeart closed. Shout out to my lady Jill, who keeps the blog rolling @ http://thingsweheart.blogspot.com/  Meow! This is another Ebay baby, vintage Fredrick's of Hollywood. I was in a serious bidding war for it, the flame fanned by my friend Neil who threw down dollas for me to make sure it was mine.  Ebay. Seeing a pattern here? It's from a store called Spanish Moss Vintage, and they have a separate online boutique here: http://www.spanishmossvintage.com/  Ebay. Simple black batwing number. Vintage lolita-esque sailor piece. Thanks to Chuckanucka for his cooperation during the shoot. Vintage. Bought at one of my favorite vintage shops in Williamsburg who's name I am hesitant to reveal. Hint: it's run by tiny Japanese women. Vintage mesh batwing with pockets. Recommended accessory: cotton candy. Vintage french, a stellar find from Beacon's Closet. Extra bonus: built in underwear! Score. I bought this on Ebay when I was drunk and forgot but when I got the email that I had won "sexy 80's strapless tiger print jumpsuit" I was sober and very glad. Silk Sunner jumpsuit with ruffles. A steal at their last sample sale. Topshop. Before they had one in NY. Can you call that "vintage"? This is a disco classic. Vintage, worn with chain belt. I got this on Ebay and didn't realize it was coming from Newfoundland, Canada. It took three weeks to arrive, and I imagined it upon a large boat filled with Canadian rompers. Anyway, it finally got here and I was happy to wait cause this shit is bonkers. My friend Erin snagged this for me at a closing sale for a costume/wardrobe company in Chelsea. Everything was sorted by genre/era which was awesome. Obviously, I hunkered down in the 70's.Stay tuned for my summer music recommendations! Hugs and Kisses, O 7:20 PM - July 27, 2009 - post comment
