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. 
Love the brand, especially Boy for the ladies, love the site, love the ad campaigns and the Polaroid style lookbooks. Also loving their choice of Marissa Tomei for the fall collection. Past models also include Sarah Silverman…goodness, there is just so much to love here. Diggin the bright shoes. Note to add to Fall List: Neon Yellow or Neon Pink shoes.

She’s got such a great eye for all things toxic and pretty.
some of my faves:
I’m having some fun watching Vanessa Paradis videos. Here’s some to help you start your week.
she has the sweetest voice.
I love her loose braid in this one – must try it out!
Zooey:Joe is what Diane:Woody
I’ve spent at least 500 days of my life thinking that Zooey D is the cutest girl. Now I can add that Joe Gorden Levitt is the cutest boy. Hard not to post Zooey and all her cuteness when you’re blogging about the toxically pretty.
Here are links to two great articles in Black Book Mag: Wowie, Zooey! and Zooey& the Art of Sanity Maintenance.
I’m falling all over these amazing illustrations from Jennifer Busking. They are whimsy and somewhat dark…whimsically dark.
Thanks to Ez for sharing.

**Hmm, so apparently this may not be Karen O – then she is Karen’s Doppelganger. Looks a lot like her to me…Either way, this girl is killing the look. I guess I just tend to have Karen on the brain….

images via easy fashion.
I love the hats the women in these photos are wearing. Both photos are reminders of how different the world was for women in past decades. from our fashions to acceptable and appropriate behavior. We are resilient.
The photo below was taken outside Union Station circa 1943, here in DC. Things look a bit different now.
I’m starting to realize that pete doherty and I might get along swimmingly. I have obsessions with all his past/present lovers and I could stare at them for days…
she just wears things so well…a bit of a masculine quality…really a true Garçonne.
I love her hats and three piece suits.
