Filles a papa

Among the bizarro gifs and half-naked chicks on my Tumblr feed the other day, I came across Belgian label Filles à papa and noticed right away how much their designs align with my own ideals in dressing and overall wardrobe personality. Conceived and designed by two sisters, the brand is playful, rebellious, and liberated; a bit sexy but boyish at the same time. They've succeeded at creating a new chemistry for modern girls, collapsing boundaries between formal and casual wear and blending "day" and "night" into one. I applaud them at making sequins look gritty and edgy...I mean tomboys wanna sparkle sometimes too! Peep their sale going 5.29 to 6.2.

The golden ticket

Over the years of being an iphone owner, I've mostly kept the case black as I wasn't a fan of making it much of a standout "accessory." These days though, I'm more and more attracted to the tricked-out cases so Marc def caught my attention with this crinkled foil number...candy bar anyone?

Gold all in my chain

Today is Donatella Versace's birthday. In her honor, VFILES posted up scans of the premier issue of the short-lived VERSACE magazine, which is the first I've heard of it. What I would give to get my hands on a copy! It's pretty damn amazing...P. Diddy and all.

PeoplePurple

I've been having a thought or two almost daily about an Asia trip I'm looking into for later this year. I may return to Tokyo, but also considering Hong Kong or Seoul. As much as I can't wait for that trip or the summer for that matter, seeing these girls show off their layering game has me ok with what's left of this in-between-seasons jam we're in right now. Props to PEOPLEPURPLE for showcasing the ill street styles from the streets of Seoul!

True Blue

It's been a minute since I've been inspired by an editorial in its entirety...until I saw this one from Dazed & Confused featuring Kasia Struss. Denim isn't going anywhere (to state the obvious), but those of us who love it beyond our skinny jeans can appreciate some inspiration here and there. This ed. kinda reminds me of old Nylon spreads from the early days of the mag- the best time for Nylon, which I'd gladly prove to anyone who argues any different..my archive goes deep!
