Youth Blood

I gotta hand it to UO. The retailer's vision is having a glimmering moment in catalog form for the early fall push. A combo of the right models (Anja Konstantinova!), great styling, and really creative art direction and photography has made for some pretty rad spreads this month. Catalogs are such a stale thing these days, so it's refreshing to see them given a more editorial treatment to get consumers' attention. Otherwise, their fate in the recycling bin comes a whole lot quicker!

Sometimes you just gotta wear your heart on your sleeve...or your head...or your neck. You get the point.

The Slits

It's been some time since I've worn loose jeans. I know the "boyfriend" fit has been pushing its way through the trend portal for a few years but I've still kept it slim when it comes to denim. After seeing these new A. Wang cropped jeans though with their rad knee slits and light wash, I'm down to give it a try...but not for $345 though. These are a DIY or at least a BYT (bring to your tailor).

Lovetits

Lovetits. With a name so simultaneously adorable and eye-opening, you know there's got to be something good behind it. Alice and Molly Goddard found time outside their Saint Martins workload to put their sisterly powers to work and created a label based around mesh tops with sequin shapes covering the lady lumps. You gotta love your tits to be directing eye traffic like that! Get your hands on these tops that are made to order over at the Lovetits blog.

Saturn's Children

It's not too often I post a geek-out model post. They are all hot, they all have good style...pretty much. But I have to take a second to give props to Australian model Tallulah Morton for rocking an Electric Wizard tee (only one of the best doom metal bands out there). Well played Tallulah!
