so all of my friends, and virtually anyone who's seen me out and about lately has probably heard me use the word "emo" in some context...myself, and consequently marina, have become quite obsessed with the term! so you can see how i became a little uncomfortable knowing that spring was just around the bend, thus ending my consuming fixation for all things black, grey, and brown.
two days ago, i was making my routine stop in japantown to the kinokuniya boookstore to pick up one of my seasonal fashion bibles -- this time, it was MODE et MODE (issue no. 337), and was shocked to see the bevy of dark silhouettes splashed across the pages! of course, there were designers opting for the typical bright springtime pastels, but some of my most fave designers were doing some amazing things in masculine looks and dark tones...
here are but a few of my picks -- my spring fashion report! hope you like it...

some seasons, i can be a little on the fence with her, as she has a tendency to get a little too "stevie nicks" on me, but all in all, i am and will always be a fan of her deconstructed pieces.
