Cruella
Having platinum hair is turning out to be not enough for me lately. I’m addicted to bleach and the idea of looking slightly older than I am. And by slightly, I mean 50 years older. How hot is Kate with those locks? And Katie Shillingford. Genius. I’m thinking of taking the whole Abbey Lee look up a notch.

Riot, Not Diet
Ladies large and small, listen up to the message of the day. “RIOT NOT DIET” as seen plastered on the inspiration wall of Meadham Kirchhoff’s design studio. We need more messages like this. (via rookiemag.com)

Need, Want, Love
This Vivienne Westwood Diamante Horn Tiara is on my “Must Get Now” list. One, because I will probably be over it if I wait any longer to swoop it up, and two, because wearing it would make me feel like I was on the set of the sequel to Ever After which is super dark and twisted but still fantastical. Never heard of it? #GoogleIt #INeverMakeThingsUp. Oh, and isn’t Chloe...

House of Holland
Look who else was inspired by This is England. Love the suspenders and mesh collared shirts. Go Henry!

This Is England Inspiration
Love this film! And totally feeling those haircuts. Wish I had the guts (and the face) to pull it off.

mosh pit girl
i went to see black lips and cerebral ballzy last weekend and somehow managed to find myself in the middle of the mosh pit. unlike the infamous “mosh pit girl” whom i didn’t even know existed till two seconds ago, i moshed with style and grace. was i scared? no, but i’m fairly certain everyone else was. i destroyed everything in my way. hey mosh pit girl, i think we...

the house wins everytime
remember that crazy, colorful video i posted a while back? well guess what … here’s another treat. it’s amazing how an old print in a new fabrication can feel so fresh. as soon as i get home tonight, i’m cutting up my mexi blanket and making a 3 piece suit. ¡viva house of holland! check out the rest of the collection here.

back in the days
nothing ever looks as good the second time around, but who says you can’t try. the first pic is from one of my favorite books called back in the days photographed by jamel shabazz. every time i look through it, i get the sudden urge to have a swoosh tatted on my back. or neck. totally kidding, but it does make me want to start rocking my b.u.m. equipment varsity jacket and shell-toe adidas...

making my ears smile
lia ices. another beautifully talented nyu grad, though very different from the cerebral ballzy boys, as you may have guessed. i can’t seem to take “love is won” off repeat. i’m sure my neighbors are very happy about that. i saw her perform at the gene autry museum a few months ago, and what a refreshing break it was from all these monotonous, hip indie...

r.i.p. fedora
this retro, sun-shielding head cover showed up all over resort 2012 collections, including balenciaga, mulberry, and givenchy, virtually murdering the fedora. i really hope this means we never have to look at another fedora-clad model. i knew i made a good purchase when i found a navy, woven visor at the bottom of goodwill’s $1 bin a few weeks ago. i plan on wearing mine with a nice tan...

mid-century acne
two of my all-time favorites, acne and mod, together at last. i would have doubted this unlikely couple could work, but, boy, would i have been wrong. i love the new direction acne is taking. and the color palette is simply perfect.

morir sonando
i’ve been thinking about getting my hands on some of these sunset-colored lenses for quite some time now, ever since garance posted a pic on her blog. just haven’t found the perfect pair yet. then theysken comes along and, of course, styles his resort 2012 collection with the most perfect mirrored aviators i’ve ever seen. that boy can do no wrong. i think it’s time to add...

i wanna be down: with cbc
so even though they may not be as hard-core/brownsville/east new york/brooklyn as they claim to be (or as media claim them to be), they still have major swaggz in my book. this unlikely combination of dudes makes for a surprisingly refreshing head banging/moshing session considering two of the members’ nyu/suburban roots could potentially discredit the band’s overall on-stage...

crush: merethe hopland
lately, i’ve been really into the whole mod look. maybe spending five months in london helped inspire my new style obsession, but i can’t get enough of cute girls with boy-short hair. it seemed like every girl in london had this cut, and the way they pulled it off with such charm and wit made me want to instantly chop off my long locks without hesitation. and so i did. well,...

cyber treasure of the day: bklyn we go hard
(via: the makers project. all photos: jennifer causey)
i’m a sucker for simple, entrepreneurial ideas that creatively inspire others. and i can never get enough of brooklyn, my former home. so when i happened upon this gem of a site that combines the two, it was an instant love connection. the makers project is a genius concept that offers beautiful peeks into the world of some of...

gender bending is rad (hourani)
(photos: style.com)
rad is one of my favorite designers of the moment for his ability to eliminate gender in fashion. the concept of unisex clothing seems very fresh right now. and how appropo that andrej pejic walked his show. “she” is the world’s 98th sexiest woman, after all. check out all of rad’s collections here.

marc jacobs had a big night last night. he was up for womenswear designer of the year and received the geoffrey beene lifetime achievement award. not to mention, his resort 2012 collection is seemingly flawless. but don’t the models look a bit infantile?

patrik ervell: consolation prize

looks like kirsten dunst has moved on from her band of outsiders days while staying true to her signature “borrowed from the boys” look. one point for team ervell.
