Song of the Day/ free download: LNA’s “Light Reading”
I really like this song… The group, Late Night Alumni (“LNA”)–comprised of Becky Jean Williams, Finn Bjarnson, John Hancock, and Kaskade–is best known for their 2005 international hit single “Empty Streets” from the album of the same name. Released in the UK by the Ministry of Sound label, Empty Streets garnered a strong underground following,...
Ric Rac
They say a picture is worth a 1000 words, but I’m loving these video presentations by Ric Rac. Note to all emerging designers: what better way to entice shoppers than to actually show them the way your garments move? Enjoy the videos and these awesome looks from Ric Rac via Shopflick! (And no, in case...

saskia diez
I was supposed to be at work an hour ago…. Monday, Monday, Monday…. I guess that’s the problem with long relaxing weekends: Anyway, I thought you’d enjoy today’s designer, Saskia Diez. I especially like her “Papier” series …an experiment in revising the classical typology: two designers, Saskia and Stefan Diez, have pointed out the basic...
(in)decorous diy
Lauren Tennenbaum of (in)decorous taste shows us how to turn ordinary platforms into glass-slipper show stoppers! Though she claims that, “surely, they’re the tackiest things I’ve ever created,” I think they’re fun!
Ana Lerario
All photos: Carolina Palmgren Photography Ah NYFW… As easy as it would be to cover everything that’s going on there, I figure you’re getting it from about a dozen different sources… I mean, you can’t click on a fashion site without getting an interpretation of the shows. I had plans to go to NYC this...
MixTape
Maybe this dates me (ok, I know this dates me), but way back in the day, mixtapes were the thing. You know, if you liked someone you would spend hours on your dual tape deck transferring songs for that perfect “I love you” mix. I am obsessed with suck.uk‘s modern twist on the classic mixtape....
To Dai For
T.G.I.F! Let’s see if I can stay out of trouble this weekend! I may or may not make it to NYC… if anyone has a unique perspective on fashion week or a story from the trenches they want to share, just shoot me an email. Today’s designer, Suzanna Dai, makes stunning necklaces that I just...
scarves are my new obsession
Personally, I blame vintage Chanel for my latest obsession… and I have to say, it’s kind of annoying that most of the scarves I obsess over cost as much as a pair of (really decent) shoes! Here’s a line of creative silk scarves from french designer Philippe Roucou which can be purchased at Reborn. Who...
Šárka Šišková
NYC Fashion week is upon us… are you excited? Between the Super Bowl (Go Saints!) and FW I’m as much in my glory as I can be when it’s 15 degrees outside. Speaking of glory, check out today’s glorious designer, Šárka Šišková from the Czech Republic. A designer led by intuition, passion and emotion and...
Carlito Brigante Knows BK/NYC
The photography of Charles le Brigand AKA Carlito Brigante is absolutely breathtaking. These images take me back to when I was working in NYC and living in Park Slope… I miss it so much sometimes! I was constantly inspired there…Be sure to scroll through all of Carlito’s images on Flickr and stop by his blog...
