In love…with Rebecca Taylor…
Wednesday, March 28th, 2007
Today I noticed that Rebecca Taylor has updated their site with their Spring line. I’ve always been a huge (borderline obsessed) fan and I am totally in love with these two dresses. I especially love the stronger than usual print direction, very Marimekko feeling.
Colorblocked…new rave takes charge
Tuesday, March 27th, 2007
Everyone keeps talking about this whole ‘New Rave’ look, and it seems as though it’s actually catching on. The accessories on the right are a bit too wacky for me (the bag is Fendi and the shoe is Pierre Hardy), but the French Connection dress/tunic on the left is just about right for me. And be sure to check out their newly designed website (it used to be awful, but now it’s cute!).
Savior Scraps…
Tuesday, March 27th, 2007
Lately I’ve been a little homesick for Williamsburg, and when NYLON mag covered Savior Scraps I instantly had to look them up. They are a Brooklyn based artistic collective who create works out of donated scraps of fabric and materials.
Cute finds, at yes…the mall
Sunday, March 25th, 2007
Normally I am no prep, but this weekend at the mall (yes, at the mall) I came across a bunch of pieces I adore. The top on the left is from Banana Republic (they have great textured prints at the moment) and the hoodie on the right is from Gap Body. I’m always on the hunt for an interesting hoodie, and this certainly fits the bill.
Sophia Kokosalaki…
Friday, March 23rd, 2007
I know this dress has been around for a while, but when I got the Barneys catalog in the mail the other day, this dress felt new and wonderful all over again. The proportions of this dress are just so pretty…
Urban…batik love
Wednesday, March 21st, 2007
I just got the Urban Outfitters catalog today and I love this dress. I’m always a fan of yellow, and this bold and beautiful dress couldn’t be any more perfect for summer vacations. On another batik-y note, I also ordered these awesome pillows to toughen up my floral couch, it’s much better now!
Is the head wrap here to stay???
Tuesday, March 20th, 2007
I took some time this morning to take a closer look at the Chloe show and realized that the models were sporting the latest trend, head wraps. I like the idea of this look, but when a friend asked me to wear one for a recent fashion shoot I instantly refused. What do you think, will you wear it or not?
Mociun…
Monday, March 19th, 2007
This weekend I dropped into Vagabond (one of my favorite boutiques in Philly) and I finally got to see this Mociun dress in person. I love how feed-sack inspired it is, and the large scale blackbird print is gorgeous.
A few things worth knowing about…
Thursday, March 15th, 2007Ever since I moved back to Philadelphia (from NY) I feel as though I’ve been living in a cave. So, you may already know about these two topics, but in case you didn’t I highly recommend them both:
1) Current TV-my new favorite tv network. It’s mostly comprised of viewer created content ‘pods’. It cycles through pods on fashion, the environment, politics, art, culture, and everything else a hipster would need to know about. If you don’t have cable you can still check out some of their programs via the web. So far I’ve seen pods on Single Dress, Alice+Olivia both of which were greatly inspiring.currenttv.com
2)Fashion Wire Daily, it’s a great daily email which keeps you posted on fashion news. So, as soon as Marc checks into rehab, you know about it. Very essential.www.fashionwiredaily.com
Wet rocker…
Tuesday, March 13th, 2007
So I’ve finally gotten around to looking at the international fall 07 fashion shows, and one look which keeps popping up (nearly as often as last seasons gold lame stockings) is cat-woman-esque outfits. The above looks are by Marni,Chloe, and my personal fave Daryl K. You are probably not going to catch me sporting this look, but I do love how tough and edgy it feels. Perhaps I’ll approach it more through black sheen-heavy accessories.
Bunchy plaid panties…would you wear them?
Monday, March 12th, 2007
Apparently everyone is going nuts over plaid bunchy panties. The above choices are by Urban Outfitters, Steven Alan, and Aerie by American Eagle. In principle I love the way they look, the mixture of boy/girl style is great but the amount of gathering just isn’t for me. Would you wear them?
Green, Blue, Red, it’s spring…
Monday, March 12th, 2007
Some cute patterns I spotted over at Marcosxcella’s blog. Since we are on the brink of spring, kelly green, bright blue, and deep reds mixed with white look so great.(via print and pattern)
Printfresh…
Friday, March 9th, 2007
Lately I’ve had a lot of people asking me what it is that I do during my days. And my answer to that is, I direct a textile swatch studio in Philadelphia called Printfresh. Many of you are probably not familiar with this aspect of the fashion industry. The gist of it is that when apparel companies need artwork for their garments and want a fresh look from outside their artwork department they turn to swatch studios who come and show their work. It’s a great way for apparel companies to look at artwork, select pieces that suit their needs, and send it off to their production facilities right away (cutting down on lengthy artwork development stages).
All of the artwork that we as well as other swatch studios create is one of kind a kind and only sold once, this ensures that no two apparel companies will have the same artwork on their garments.
Fruits street style…
Thursday, March 8th, 2007
Here are some of my favorite highlights from Fruits magazine. It’s a magazine, same concept as Fruits the book, just current. I picked it up while we were at Colette, although it seems silly to pay for street style pics with the advent of facehunter, here is their site if you want a subscription…I’ve always been a fan of layers, but I especially love all these looks because they are so Victorian inspired. My most favorite of the above images is the upper left, I love the chunks of yarn she has wrapped around her neck. This image caused me to have a very inspired purchase at Vanves of some strange crochet chunk that will make a lovely necklace in the summertime.
