All the fashion weeks in the world just wrapped. Unfortunately I didn’t pay attention to London (too busy at work), Italy was underwhelming (DG rolled out yet ANOTHER show full of leopard prints and Italian-woman-in-the-forties shapes… and a curious number of models without pants), but Paris delivered thanks to Dior’s funky, period ready-to-wear show and [...]

…she would look like TAVI, the fashionista/blogger who is, in fact, THIRTEEN YEARS OLD Oh, can you read that wristband? Allow me: DIOR. This bitch (lovingly!) is sitting in first rows at shows in fashion capitals around the world: Paris, New York, Tokyo. Check out what she wears to school (when she’s not skipping to [...]

On a lazy Sunday afternoon, on a mission to find obscure superfoods/raw milk (damn your wimpy dairy section, Urban Rustic!), I wandered into an apothecary at the fabulous Woodley & Bunny salon-cum-beauty-center off the Bedford stop in trendy-to-death Williamsburg. I proceeded to sniff my way around its exquisite paaarrfum selection and ended up gravitating to [...]

according to jonny johansson on style.com, acne’s f/w 09 collection was inspired by a 70-year-old jewel-encrusted man sitting at cafe de flore in paris, and also artsy chicks from berlin. we hope you know us well enough by now to know how we feel about inspirations such as these. love, love, love love love.

the best part of fashion week, is the fashion shows. the second best part (or first best, if you do not have an invitation to go inside) is the opportunity to ogle the passers-by and take notes on the trends that are to come. in paris in 2007 we saw demolished hosiery, blazers blazers blazers, [...]

am not usually the hugest fan of chanel — short tweed jackets don’t really do anything for me, and the whole denim + american flag thing a couple seasons back was grooosssss — however, the couture show this week in paris, was stunning. HOLY CRAP, THE HATS! the headpieces were designed by katsuya kamo, who [...]

a band you should listen to is chairlift. it is unfortunate that “evident utensil”, previously the only song on their myspace, is on their myspace no longer. no matter. “bruises”, and also all the rest, is/are pretty damn swell. an artist you should check out is catherine ryan. her newer work mostly revolves around [...]

so this one time we were sharing a bottle of wine (um. a few bottles of wine) at la perle, a super-cheap bar in the marais in paris that never fails to provide excellent people watching (especially if the people you like to watch are stylish and cool), and during a discussion of fashion and [...]

as residents of virginia, philly, and virginia, we are always bitter when super things happen in new york and we can’t make it to the city in time to attend. i.e. it really sucked when, after spending quality time with the original paris-based colette, we didn’t have a chance to see the gap + colette [...]
