2010-10-26T22:42:00.000-07:00

seriously considering starting a fundraiser so we can get our shit together by next october and have the best wedding ever. talk about diy. being that we're on the yea-we're-only-25-and-I-shop-way-too-much kind of budget, it's going to be a lot of work. but wait, tangent....is this venue not THE most amazing space evvverrr?? oh, and, the most important part: i somehow, definitely, so good, without a doubt, found the man of my dreams :) seven years ago, just downstairs from my college dorm. such luck xx

Cue the DIY Revolution: This Group of NY Girls' New Site Should Have Them Ditching Their Day Jobs in No Time

2010-10-24T21:57:00.000-07:00

holy crap! if there's anyone that has ever made me feel like a total slacker for not being able to manage a blog on top of a ten hour a day 9 to 5, a just-put-a-ring-on-my-finger fiancè slash roommate, and a social calendar (with a built in live music schedule) that's completely impossible not to become a total slave to....it's THE ALIOMI CHICKS. not only are these babes running a full-fledged ecommerce site and social media presence, complete with a blog, regular email blasts, photoshoots and video, but it looks like none of them have yet to devote their sunlight hours to the project. day job on top of a massive, totally rad diy sampling of apparel and accessories? beyond impressive.

aliomi chicks, if you're reading this, i give you major, major props. new fan, for sure. xx

Double Take! Dale Bozzio May Have Been the 80s' Lady Gaga, but her Band—Missing Persons—Was the Next Best Thing to Neon Asymmetrical Hair

Talk About Layering Lust! Behold: 8 Styling Tips to Take from Richard Chai Love A/W10

2010-03-22T21:54:00.000-07:00

We may have hit the first day of spring on the calendar, but if you're anywhere but LA right now, chances are you're still sporting some layers. Next rainy day here and you can count me in—broody-chic 90's is the way to go when piling on the extras.

(1) First one's simple: throw a boat neck sweatshirt over a turtleneck, in two shades of grey, and roll up the sleeves. Bonus points for a bright coral lip.
(2) When in doubt, pile on the fur. And when the layers get too bulky, feel free to unbutton and fold over your pants.

(3) Gather your ingredients: silk collared shirt, long asymmetrical v-neck tank, loose silk pant. Combine. Button up to the neck and garnish with a bright lip.
(4) Squeeze into a cropped baby tee, over a printed silk button-down. Top it all off with a tailored jacket and a tapered cropped trouser.

(5) Why not start with already-there layers? A draped layered long-sleeve is suddenly perfection topped with a sequined tee and grey knit vest.
(6) A dress over a long-sleeve may not seem like anything new, but look twice and see the knee-length sequined frock is actually glittering over a maxi? 90's grunge magnifique.

(7) Best way to maximize that printed dress you can't get enough of? Sneak peek it underneath a long turtleneck with a cardi on top, and wear it later that week alone. Now that's economic dressing. Your mother would be proud...
(8) Whoever thought a pretty, printed shirt, a dark bustier, a turtleneck tee and a harem pant were enough on their own, has never seen the digs of Richard Chai...

New York to London to Paris & Milan—Fall 2010 Fashion Week Brings a Few Other Destinations to Mind

2010-03-13T18:46:00.000-08:00

Call it the economy, call it wearable art—but this fall's crop of shows have "Take me away," written into every seam...

(1) BIG CITY, BRIGHT LIGHTS>> Grab the hair gel, the eyeliner, the Ray-bans and a structured bag—it's off to the city if Bottega Veneta, Dries Van Noten or Alex Wang have anything to say about it.

Pictured, from left: Bottega Veneta, Dries Van Noten, Alexander Wang, Bottega Veneta.

(3) PRINTS CHARMING>> Art schooled or not, street-chic prints like these could rival the walls of the MOCA any day.

Pictured, from top left: Tsumori Chisato, Diesel Black Gold, Matthew Williamson, Proenza Schouler, Mary Katrantzou.

(4) INDIGENOUS DETAILS>> With no shortage of fur, feathers or animal prints, this season's catwalk finds roots firmly planted in native terrain.

Pictured, from top left: Chloè, Roberto Cavalli, Roland Mouret, Valentino, Thakoon, Acne, Ann Demeulemeester, Chanel, Helmut Lang, Maison Martin Margiela.

(5) FIT FOR THE FUTURE>> Black may be the new black, but volume, reflective plating, rough textures and sturdy draping also fit right in to the apocalyptic dream-state that lies ahead.

Pictured, from top left: Haider Ackermann, Rick Owens, Viktor & Rolf, Haider Ackermann, Hermès.

(6) ONCE UPON A TIME>> Time travel to a place of old-world elegance and charm with brocade prints, endless gold detailing, all kinds of appliquè and some of the richest reds you've ever seen.

Pictured, from top left: Etro, Dolce & Gabanna, Givenchy, Roberto Cavalli, Balmain, Alexander McQueen.

(7) DESERT'S BEST DRESSED>>Ditch the tights and throw on some sandals—a loose-fitted frock or a long, breezy dress will get you through festival season in spite of the heat and lack of sleep.

PAGE-TURNING MUSE: Marie Claire March '10 Ups the Ante With an Armory of Top Brass Finds

2010-02-07T11:32:00.000-08:00

Currently coveting army green/khaki/brown palette, especially when accompanied by an arsenal of chains and metal decorum. Oh and those open-toed combat boots. Looooves.

Loving the galactic prints on the tees in row two, and the starry night sky of a dress, middle of third row. Umm..not to mention. Ankle bangle stacks and piles of fur? Yes please.

MUSES OF THE MOMENT: 3 Super-Fierce Lobs to Love Right Now

2010-02-03T20:09:00.000-08:00

(1) DESIGNER MUSE>> Lisa Mayock of Vena Cava cuts straight to the point with blunt bangs and a perfectly balanced crop. Perfect frame for her face, and well, just plain pretty.

(2) MODEL MUSE>> Freja Beha Erichsen's tousled look fits in anywhere from Balmain and Erin Wasson to Chanel or Stella McCartney. Anything that can go straight from the office to a show at Spaceland is pretty much perfection to me.

(3) DJ / MODEL MUSE>> Leigh Lezark proves asymmetrics can be more that meets the eye. Her side-swiped, barely-there bangs and a slight tilt of the head equal nothing but fierce.

Carey Mulligan, Peter Saarsgard & Rosamund Pike in An Education

If you haven't seen An Education yet, enlist your next free couple of hours at your local indie theater, like now, 'cause I'm pretty sure Carey Mulligan has never been cuter. Obsessed with her haircut, and the fact that she totally makes a floral sheath look worlds cooler than Anna Wintour...
