DJ Earworm: United State of Pop 2010
A pretty great mash-up of all the big songs in 2010.
Perfect for NYE, right!?
Enjoy.
{outfit post} Sun Valley, then & now...
Sometimes, I'm really thankful I didn't have a blog four years ago. Strange to think, but there are some sartorial choices I made then that I just absolutely wouldn't make now. That's just a product of the ebb and flow of fashion, but it's interesting to look back at from time to time. In this glorious winter wonderland of Sun Valley, there are certain pairings that have stood the test of time and trends; down jackets and designer sunglasses being one of them. So how different could my look really be this time around?
Roll with me on this, and lets just take a little stroll down memory lane (thanks, Facebook) and see what's changed from 2007 to 2010:
2007: no label vintage hat; Christian Dior sunglasses; Cashmere Wrappings pashmina; The North Face jacket; American Apparel deep V; Abercrombie & Fitch cardigan; J Brand black jeans; Ugg Ausralia boots; Louis Vuitton bag; Betsey Johnson scarf; faux pearls.
2010: Slouchy hat and infinity scarf c/o D&Y Accessories; Ray Ban aviators; Gap turtleneck sweater; American Apparel deep V; ski leggings; Kristen Blake down jacket; Ugg Austraila boots; Zoe the dog.
Oh hey 2007 girl, aren't you trendy! The thing that strikes me right away about look number one here is that I am actively trying to wear as many noticable labels at one time as I can. From the uber-trendy Uggs to my classic but obvious Louis Vuitton Speedy to the comically huge Dior shades, It's just too, too, you know? I still own all these things; I love them and I wear them. But my style now, comparitively, is like going from being a gluttonous eater to a normal, healthy person: it's all about moderation.
So at the core, my Sun Valley style hasn't really changed that much. Those are the same Ugg boots. I also know I'm wearing an American Apparel deep V in both outfits, and a sweater I bought on sale from (wince) Abercrombie and Gap, respectively. Clearly, I still really love layering and black skinny pants, as well as a good contrasting scarf-and-hat combo with my designer shades. In my outfit from yesterday though, the only brand that's easily distinguishable is - drum roll please - my new, polarized Ray Ban aviators.
Editor's note: I know, I know, the Ugg boots. I spoke so judgily of them here, and posted alternative options here. Yet I am there, wearing the darn things. With toasty warm and comfy feat, I hang my head in shame. I'm still planning on getting these, but bare with me (and my budget).

dispatch from Sun Valley...
Hi everyone, I'm alive! I know you were worried. As we speak I am cozy in our little condo as the fire blazes, warming my weary muscles from two days of downhill and cross-country skiing. Sun Valley is just as I remembered it, bustling, beautiful, busy, and completely covered in snow. I'll have full posts about all the fun I'm having after I return, but I just wanted to check in and say hello. I hope you are all having a nice, relaxing week before NYE, and hopefully not stuck at an airport somewhere trying to get back to New York. (The photos are from the top of Baldy and Kelly, Carly, myself and Caitlin getting ready to XC ski today - all in Ray Bans.)

{SUILTSOY presents} the best posts of 2010...
...As chosen by, you guessed it, me! It's been a big year for me, and for SUILTSOY. I really can't say enough thanks to all of you whom I know and whom I don't, who take a few moments out of your day or your week to read this little blog of mine. I try my best to keep it fresh and interesting, and I hope to only get better in 2011!
This year was incredible for many reasons (readership growth, an award, New York Fashion Week shows, photoshoots, a certain striped shirt that just wouldn't go away, for starters!) and I owe it all to you, my darling readers. So join me won't you, in a look back at the best of SUILTSOY, 2010:

Do you think I missed one? If you have a favorite post from the year, I'd love to know what it was because a) compliments make me feel special and b) then I can do more posts like it to keep bringing you back!
Just a little FYI, I'm heading back to Seattle tomorrow! Woopee! There will be some serious R & R, tons of family time and home-cooked meals, reunions with friends, beers at the Duchess, perhaps a lap around Candy Cane Lane, and as much time behind the wheel of a car as I can manage. After Christmas, I'm off to Sun Valley, Idaho for a week of skiing and apres skiing, more family time, and more skiing. Hopefully, it wont leave much time for blogging. I hope that during this little hiatus, you'll also be busy spending face time with friends and family, and give the ol' computer a couple days off. It's good for your brain, trust me.
There may be a post here and there, but you can look forward to the triumfant, full-force return of SUILTSOY in 2011, with outfits and adventures and perhaps a couple of new secret projects I may have in the works.
Happy, merry, cheerful, joyous, delicous and fabulous holidays to you and yours!
xoxo, SUILTSOY, aka me,Taylor

Here's a mish-mash of what yours truly would love to see under the tree this year, in an imaginary world. From Steve Martin's new book to a Proenza Schouler PS1 to the Pierre Hardy for Gap wedges, a girl can dream right? (Ugghh I'd sooo love a replacement pair of my beloved Ray Ban aviators!) Here's to holiday dreaming. (See my "what I really want this year" post for a more realistic, less materialistic take on my Christmas wish list...)
what i really want this year...
After a whirlwind of (just a teensy bit more than) six months in New York City, I am very, very, ready to head home for Christmas. I think I can safely say that this year, more than anything else, I want these things:
to hug my parents for a really long time at the airport...
my dad's risotto...
major cuddling time with Sarge and Zoe...
a lunch date with my mom at Le Pichet...
beers with friends at The Duchess and Kings...
a Whisky Buck at Liberty...
major coffee catch-up time with my Seattle favsies...
a night out on the Pike/Pine corridor...
as many walks around Greenlake, Magneson and Discovery Park as I can fit in...
a nice chat with my grandparents...
cocktails, dinner, poppers, crowns and carols on Christmas Eve with my whole family...
gin fizzes and breakfast casserole on Christmas morning...
a few blissfully sunny runs down Olympic Lane on Baldy...
to look up at thousands of stars in the Sun Valley night sky...
to breath in some fresh, cold, mountain air...
a hot toddie in the lobby of the Sun Valley Lodge...
to drive a car...
to dive head-first into the boxes and racks of clothes I left behind in the move...
and finally, to feel rejuvinated and ready to return to NYC in 2011.
