I live in Chocolate City, Work for NPR, am currently working on an MA in Interior Design, Love my roommate, friends and Kitteh, "Bits." Day to day I find more and more beauty lurking in the oddest spots. Rouge My Knees is an accumulation of notes on what I find whets my curiosity for all things toxic and pretty.
I love sharing my view of the world through the photos and links posted here.

I did some soul satisfying thrifting (goodwill you always rule) and vintage shopping in Indiana. Also ate a ton of yummy frozen custard. The town is so quant and my fave thing is that they still have a double feature drive in movie joint. The town courthouse also looks like the spot chosen by a crazy scientist to get his DeLorean back to 1985.
My visit helped me realize that I’ve not seen very many of Jimmy’s films. First on my list is due to the awesomely creepy silkscreen of Jimmy with Rabbit: Harvey. “The story is about a man whose best friend is a pooka named Harvey—in the form of a six-foot, three-and-one-half-inch tall rabbit.” SOLD!

One of my many girl crushes graces the Fall Club Monaco look book with her unique presence.
Brilliant on the part of CM to utilize Pam’s cool chill laid back look.
The rest of the models belong to new york’s always budding taste-maker scene…
More on PAM here.
so glad the knee sock made it’s way from runway to real way for fall.
Aside from the P-Love cameo, the clothing is RAD. I’m especially into these lace shorts (must have!). I really tend to buy too many shorts for fall/winter but I think it stems from the childhood preference for cute comfort.
I have been hunting for a crushed velvet blazer like this…
See the rest here.

Herb and Dorothy is a fantastic documentary. I’d add it to your list asap. I think I learned quite a bit about how to live life on your own path and focus on your passion(s) (in the case of the Vogels, collecting ART).
They truly dedicated themselves to a source of happiness…and in the end created their very own work of art.
Poetic.
Am I into watching others eat burgers and cakes…or perhaps I just want a bit of my own?
ps. her hair is perfect. so is the color palette.
I can’t think of a better way to coax me into buying a beautiful luxury handbag. Include some gold lions in the hardware and we can call it a day. Throw the bag into some spreads with the gorgeous Julianne Moore and two adorable cub lions and well….I die. Seem them Lion size here.
