Whatever it is I think I see becomes a Prada bag to me
As much as I’d love to have the $1500 to shell out on a Prada bag, It’s not reality and the one on Etsy is $29.50 has it’s own charm and character. When shopping, I’m always looking for elements that inspire… Hardly do I look for exact replicas, but for pieces that relate to points of [...]

Today’s Attire: Frenchie
Things to write on my gratitude list today… Boyfriend wears Filippa K. He’s very tall and thin like those male model boyish looking men… which is very nice methinks. If Susie Bubble can borrow from her boyfriend… why can’t I? It’s only natural, being as his bureau is closer to the bed than mine… I [...]

Rebel Dance
Studies that indicate most retailers don’t make clothes that fit real women Is it possible that “Ready to Wear” may be on it’s way out? Maybe… maybe not… but with fabulous labels like the Franco-American label, Rebel Dance coming out offering made-to-order clothes RTW just might be getting some stiff competition. After all, there are studies [...]

Iris in the eyes…
The haunting work of Iris Van Dongen so eloquently mixes the unreal beauty of fashion with the intuitive force of art. Drawing from art history and contemporary culture, they tend to resemble classic works, it’s not until you look closer that you see modern details, like a skull scarf, that you realize that it’s [...]

Birds of a feather
Adorning oneself in animals is a very ancient human tradition… Feathers, head dresses, furs, teeth, bone, shells, as if paying homage to the most prolific designer of them all, Nature. In the modern, factory farmed, supermarket and retail chain world the notion of wearing animals have changed. Animals have been abstracted to prints, faux furs, plastic [...]

New in the Shop
Well, here we go… new this week in the shoppe! I found a lot of great pieces at the market this week. Mostly I had in my mind the notion of beautiful trash… like the oversized world of Coopertive Designs, Celeste Stein patterned tights, and of course florals & acid wash. Of course, then there [...]

Endless Summer
I’ve always had mixed emotions when it came to summer. Since childhood, I loved the freedom and playfulness of the season, but I dreaded the boredom and the unbearable heat. Ok, so it’s never hot in San Francisco, the good weather doesn’t begin until September, here in Germany, summer has begun. As for Summer fashion, let’s [...]

How to Buy Vintage Clothing
Aside from not buying anything, buying vintage clothing is the greenest option for adding to your wardrobe. Although eco-friendliness is a motivator, and to tell the truth, it does weigh a factor in my head when buying clothing… I did not start out shopping vintage to save the planet. My love affair with vintage started out [...]

Today’s Attire: Maxed Out
Today is one of those perfect days. I finally pulled out this black cotton jersey maxi dress I bought last year. Rocky says I’m ready for the opera, but I keep telling him, it’s cotton jersey, so it’s more like I’m wearing a giant t-shirt. Yesterday I commented on a The Fashion-y Blog saying that I [...]

James Jean, Rebel Without a Pause
I love it when it takes a few moments for beauty to sink in. Or a few months in my case. This morning, I was delighted to read Chic Today featuring James Jean, illustrator behind Prada’s SS08 dream-like prints. Although I wasn’t sure if I really liked the printed luxury clothing, reading the [...]
