worlds collide

iris van dongen’s art is really incredible.  large scale drawings featuring models that are at once iconic, or as figures of mythology, as she describes it.  much of her work features skulls as part of the clothing to “show that it is from the present day: a symbol from a contemporary subculture and, at the [...]

style we love

it’s been well noted that cw’s stylista has some issues.  anne slowey is a little, um, over the top, and oddly doesn’t seem to be able to walk well in heels.  the breakfast food challenge from the season premiere was amusingly lame, and why are the contestants doing layout with glue sticks when they have [...]

big castle, forest

can you ever really have too many slim fitting straight leg dark wash jeans?
i’m really loving the back pocket detailing on this pair of Kasil Jean.
at $165, they are a steal.

big country

i’m enjoying these ladylike takes on the buffalo plaid trend.  especially to die for is the opening ceremony three quarter sleeve coat at left.  the dolan cape is really cute.  and for an exceptionally affordable option, you could go with the cheap monday dress at right.

more is more

factory bedding

a little bit of the factory for your home.
this silver quilt from west elm can add the final touch of warhol’s factory to your bedroom.

pretty, but not too pretty

i can’t say exactly when or why the obsession started, but I’ve been fantasizing about lace heels for quite some time.  all of the searching i’ve done until now has amounted to some bridesmaid type options and “lace-up” stripper boots.  these nine west booties and colin stuart for victoria’s secret pumps are both perfect for fall. [...]

inside out?

this modern amusement reversible hoodie definitely caught my eye. how can you not love versatility on an item that can be used for light layering? with the weather finally beginning to cool down, this $95 hoodie is a steal. i’m already imagining wearing it heart side out with just a basic dark [...]
