YOUR FALL WADROBE ON ETSY
11.20.08

Do you Etsy? If not, you’re missing out on some fully stocked vintage stores with goodies to fulfill your fall and winter wardrobe requirements. Allow us to demonstrate:

etsy maroon lace jacket/dress

Lace should have been on your shopping list a while ago. While black is hot, we dig this maroon and cream jacket dress for its originality.

etsy sequin dress

Sequins are everywhere right now. Lucky for you, many stores have a variety of pieces from the 80’s (the era of sequins). This dress is one of the more subtle pieces, and even has a great keyhole back.

etsy vintage fur jacket

If you’re gonna do real fur - go vintage. This coat is in amazing shape, and your animal loving friends won’t hate you as much for purchasing fox fur from the 70’s.



 
 
LUST LIST: CUFF LOVE
11.19.08

This light lucite cuff from Alexis Bittar is perfectly styled to go from day to night with it’s splash of Swarovski crystals and pearls…

Not to mention the fact that it would dress up any holiday party ensemble, or pop layered over a long black tee. We just can’t resist a bit of bling.



 
 
TUESDAY TUNES: LENKA
11.18.08

Back in September, the adorable Aussie, Lenka, debuted her self-titled album… but apparently we didn’t notice. Whoops. But all that changed after her performance as a part of the Hotel Cafe Tour the other night.

We couldn’t help but be drawn in by her sincere and fun style, and (since we’re being honest here) her awesome vintage 80’s dress in bright purple. And the more we heard, the more we liked. Maybe even loved? We’ll let you decide for yourself if she’s a bit too pop princess, or just the right dose of sugar.

One thing we’re pretty sure we can agree on thing: this girl is damn cute. And we want her wardrobe.



 
 
SOMETHING LOVELY’S STARTING…
11.17.08

With as many hotels and restaurants pop up in LA weekly, it’s hard to keep up and even harder to get people to take notice. But when the hotel is a collaboration between SBE and Starwood, with design by Philippe Starcke, you know it’s gonna be good.

SLS HOTEL & MOSS

Oh, and the restaurant? Well, it features shopping (yes! shopping!) from Moss and a menu created by Jose Andres. Really people, need we say more?

SLS HOTEL

With the ridiculous November heat we’ve been having, we might just have to pay a visit to the rooftop pool before indulging in the rest of the experience. See you there?

Capturing Mischa Barton like we’ve never seen her, we’re loving the deco glam of this photo by Jeff Riedel. Have a simply fab weekend all!



 
 
BEAUTY IS PAIN
11.13.08

Nobody knows this better than any girl who’s gone out for the night in a new pair of heels. So, when we stumbled upon these ’shoes’ (via the coveted) by design student Gwendolyn Huskens from the Design Academy in Eindhoven, they certainly put a smile on our face…

Created from casts, bandages and wraps these stylish creations look good enough to wear even when we’re not in pain! We love a little ironic creativity. Well done Gwen!



 
 
TRUE LIFE RESOLUTIONS
11.12.08

New Year’s resolutions rarely make it past a few months (or weeks… ok, days), but goals from the blog New Resolutions seem to bring a little more fun to the table…

Like releasing your inner Buffy the Vampire Slayer and kicking some personal demon a**.

newresolution2

Or the simply logical advice offered up by this submission. Crazy ice cream trucks.

newresolution3

Of course, there are the motivational resolutions snuck in there as well. You know, for good measure. With one resolution a day until December 31st, we’re adding this site to our daily browsing during ‘down time’ at work. Resolution #37: Don’t get caught by the boss.



 
 
TUESDAY TUNES: Q TIP
11.11.08

After nine years (yes, nine), Q Tip has returned to the music scene with his album The Renaissance, and we’ve got one thing to say: welcome back, man. And THANK YOU. Now we remember what the roots of rap sound like. Good sounds, mixes, samples, flow and soul.

The album is solid from beginning to end and features collaborations with D’Angelo, Amanda Diva, Norah Jones, and Raphael Saadiq. Just do yourself a favor and download it. Now.



 
 
STREET STYLE:UNE FILLE COMME MOI
11.10.08

What’s more inspiring than fashion on the runway? Fashion on the streets. Seems like knowing that someone else is pulling it off makes it far more approachable, wouldn’t you agree? So today we popped over to one of our favorite Street Style blogs, Un Fille Comme Moi and were blown away by two fabulous little ensembles.

diane

From head (fur hat!) to toe (love the booties), this style is all her own. And she even snuck in a subtle plaid. Awesome.

jade

This look is straight from the fall runways from shows like Burberry Prorsum and Proenza Schouler, but she’s given it her own unique twist. We’ve been dying to try pulling off the sequins during the day… now we know just how it should be done.

bersa swedish elle

Cozy and glamorous all at once, we’re loving this look from Swedish Elle. Have a fabulous weekend all!



 
 

Because we’re not just about denim. Because travel and culture are necessities, not luxuries. Because style is an evolution. Because art and inspiration are around every corner. Because we love to indulge, and we're nice enough to share. Welcome to our world.
