Nebula

I've managed to accumulate an impressive amount of bikinis to outfit my frequent beach trips and tropical-related travel this year. It's not like I need any more swimsuits, but have been keeping my eyes peeled for a one-piece that doesn't have much more fabric than a bikini (aka a lot of cut-outs) and this one by NZ label Cybéle pretty much fits the bill!

Snowmageddon

We are in the midst of a blizzard here in NYC, complete with thunder and lightning! I was away in Maryland for Christmas but found myself jumping in my car a bit early today to try and beat the white stuff (um, FAIL as you can see). Man do I hate driving in snow, but at least I was comfortable. These Rosenmunns pants are the coziest things on the planet...I never want to take them off.

Your FACE

So there's this somewhat obscure Japanese label called Facetasm...maybe you've heard of them? Maybe you also agree that it's a genius name for a clothing label! I mean, DAMN. So prepare for multiple facetasms when you feast your eyes on some of their latest and greatest...









So yeah, it's basically a printSPLOSION of wonderful proportions. To top it off, they did these fantastic down mufflers for the chilly season that are so crucial. I really can't get over the Last Supper one...anything that can simultaneously delight and offend is a sure winner.







Ironically, I found the muffler images on an e-store called DeepInsideinc. WOW.

I Saw You Standing

The images in the last post came from an editorial on Platform, a London-based online mag I only just discovered that's a pretty entertaining and informative mishmash of cultural this and fashion that, mixed with a healthy serving of generation next photography. Like a lot of the more fashionably relevant online mags out there, Platform has a street style section, but theirs is refreshingly different. Instead of a single still full-body photo, Platform films the stylish subjects, and edits the footy together with tasty beats and details on the outfit. I feel like you get a better take on the person's personality, even if it's just through subtleties like them laughing and gazing into the distance. I'm def a fan of this format and predict others will eventually follow suit!


Feral Girl

I came across this bangin editorial yesterday on a google image search for "Isabel Marant fur coat" (you know, THIS one). I wanted to show my roommate the similarities to the craze fur number currently on Topshop's homepage, which I am now stalking thanks to a tip from Jayne. Anywho, I love the styling concept in full effect here- designer (talkin bout Isabel Marant, Jil Sander, and Margiela, oh hey now) mixed with army surplus store finds and the sickest hair steez I've seen in a minute. I was actually so inspired, I stopped in a local army store in Brooklyn today and picked up some gloves and a Carhartt beenie. BRRRR.
