GALLIANO FOR HALLOWEEN?
10.30.08

Browsing through one of our favorite blogs, Catherine Ashley Talks Fashion, we stumbled on her collection of Galliano details from the Spring 2009 RTW show.

Halloween inspiration anyone? And, how genius is the makeup here? The shiny gold spots added to the nose and lips give them a true porcelain doll look.



 
 
LUST LIST: ANTIK BATIK
10.29.08

Embellished details is what Antik Batik does best, and we are lusting hardcore for these three pieces…

Yes, Please, and Thank You! What woman wouldn’t want to add these to her fall wardrobe?



 
 
TUESDAY TUNES: KAISER CHIEFS
10.28.08

The Brit band Kaiser Chiefs officially releases their latest album Off With Their Heads today (along with a slew of other great releases, by the way), and we’re actually really liking the sound they’ve come up with this time around. Here’s just a taste of what you’re in for with the video for Never Miss A Beat (PS - It’s not our favorite track on the album, but it’s a fun listen).

Check out Remember You’re A Girl for a more mellow side of this usually pop punk band along with the rest of the tracks on their MySpace page.



 
 
FEELIN’ FOXY
10.27.08

Boutique hotels are definitely the trend these days when it comes to travel. But the Hotel Fox takes personalized details to a whole other level with rooms created by different designers. Ensuring, of course, that there is a little something for everyone.

A soothing grey palette with tons of detail? Fab.

Pop art your style? Covered.

And, this is definitely our idea of ‘roughing it’.

Pop over to their site, and pick out your favorite… We call dibs on the tent!

LBD’S FOR THE HOLIDAYS
10.23.08

Yes, it’s true. We’re already planning our holiday ensembles, which wouldn’t be complete without every woman’s must have - the LBD (little black dress).

LBD asymmetrical

An asymmetrical neckline always adds a bit of sass to a simple dress. (McQueen & La Petite S*****)

LBD sparklers

Looking to shine? Glam it up with a bit of sparkle from Antik Batik or D&G.

LBD retro ruffles

We’re especially loving retro stylings this year. Add a bit of ruffle, and it’s pretty irresistible. (Nathan Jenden & Burberry)

LBD classic

You really can’t get any more classic than an LDB from Oscar de la Renta, but D&G makes a great alternative as well.

All dresses available at Net A Porter.



 
 
DANA COWIE: FASHION IS ART
10.22.08

It’s been a while since we promoted an artist around here, so we thought we’d share one of our current favorites - Dana Cowie.

vintagevogue2

We love her flair for fashion and color, and the different mediums she uses to create her pieces.
Whether she’s capturing a vintage Vogue cover…

Sketching pieces that belong on the runway…

Naomi

Or paying homage to fashion icons (Naomi!). The look is totally fun and unique . Definitely pieces we’d love to incorporate into our own collection! Would you?



 
 
TUESDAY TUNES: BRETT DENNEN
10.21.08

The first time we ever heard the amazing voice that came out of this young phenom, we were amazed. Now, Brett Dennen is ready to wow us all again with a more mature album where the lyrics are just as meaningful as the first, but there is a bit more soul, a bit of branching out and some cool collaborations.

Head over to his website to check out the unique sound from the guy we call our own BFG who not only spreads amazing music around the world, but also heads up and participates in some great non-profit organizations supporting music and community.



 
 
VINTAGE GLAM FROM WINIFRED GRACE
10.20.08

Vintage is hot. So is a lotta bling. So what could be better than these rocker chic, vintage inspired, rhinestone pieces from Winifred Grace’s Fall Collection?

winifred grace earrings

winifred grace bracelet

Honestly, not much. We’re off to purchase one (or two… maybe three?) for the fall. They’ll dress up our day ensembles nicely, and add an edge to that little black dress. Perfect.



 
 

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.
