Fashion is lovely
Gareth Pugh: The Best of Both Worlds Science Fiction & Costume Drama
Being in a relationship, I can tell you one thing about renting movies. I’ll turn my nose to any random sci-fi action movie, and Rocky well veto any costume drama. In the past year of my relationship, these genres have become cinematic dead zones.
While I know everyone and their mother has been posting about Gareth [...]
The Lives of Others
On the subject of home decor in the media… have you ever wondered where people put everything? Clutter is supposed to be bad for your psyche, is it? As of late I’ve been really relishing theselby.com, by photographer Todd Selby who goes into the homes of creative people and documents their native environments. I really [...]
Mad Men, Mad Women
Please forgive me for being slow on the uptake when it comes to television. Blame the Atlantic, but I’ve only recently been able to get my hands on Mad Men… For the past few days I’ve been stuck in bed with the flu, and in my attempts to recuperate, I’ve watched every single episode of [...]
Grass Knuckles & Pussy Willow
Ever since I was a little girl and made a daisy chain with clover flowers during recess, I’ve been captivated by wearing plants as jewelry. The lovely folks over at Inhabitat brought my attention to Icelandic product designer Hafsteinn Juliusson’s set of jewelry set with Icelandic moss you can grow on your own hands. I’m [...]
Tokyo Stories
With all the chit chat about NYFW and LFW Tokyo Fashion week seems to have fallen between the cracks. Where support for TFW may be shaky in it’s own town, some Europeans are making a point to venture east. I for one love to take peek, as the Japanese tend to go overboard with street [...]
Fashion Week: The best of times, the worst of times.
Whether or not it’s a curse to live in ‘interesting times’ remains the blatant fact: we live in an interesting time. Where I’m not exactly sure if I have tired eyes, or my taste for design has become more refined, but lately, I’ve been finding that I need more than a pretty dress to hold [...]
In the Studio with Ayzit Bostan
In Munich, there is a hidden courtyard where Ayzit Bostan creates her world of elegance, small, beautifully tailored collections that don’t run by seasons, but by inspiration. The current collection is sexy, sophisticated, very minimal, yet is loaded with details, a strategic slit, a diagnal seam. I had the opportunity to spend an afternoon at [...]
French Vintage
In my regular searching for vintages, I’ve grown to love ebay.fr partially for the feeling of ’shopping in France’, and partially since the void Agathe had left (yes I know she’s ‘back’), I’ve turned to a few of the French personal style blogs like The Cherry Blossom Girl, Play like a girl, [...]
Night Bloomers
Walking around the city at night is one of my favorite things. The lights, the quiet sidewalks, the lack of store keepers staring at you for taking pictures of their merchandise without asking permission. Heh… I detest asking for permission. The other night we were walking down Maxmillianstrasse in Munich where all the big designers [...]
Pincurl Pinups
Growing out my bangs is proving to be a pain the the arse. When I first got them last year, I felt sexy and they were certainly functional, covering some unsightly wrinkle between my eyes. But the bangs, they are a lot of work. Figuring out what to do with my coif has been [...]
