Anna Sui

I love how happy the models look, and the clothes, and the Animal Collective in the background. Dreamlike.

Nice Banz.

Great Ad by Billabong. Love the look:

I haven't been finding as much inspiration in the blogosphere/fashion magazines as I would like to as of late. I don't know if you guys remember or followed the first season of Project Runway, but I really loved the simple idea behind Jay McCarroll's final collection, that the worlds of music and fashion are very much intertwined and music often inspires fashion, so essentially you could call this post my little tribute to Jay. Anyway, here are some musical artists with great style. I wouldn't really say that all of these outfits are particularly unique, but they inspire me, so I wanted to post them:

The Kills





My Man, Devendra





The Lovely and Weird Joanna Newsom





MGMT





Bat for Lashes



Check them all out on last.fm if you haven't heard of them, though I'm sure you probably have. You can find my page here.

Oh, and here's Jay's show at New York Fashion Week, if you're curious or haven't seen it!

Erin Wasson = Overrated.

She's all over the fashion blogging world right now, and I can't understand the obsession. I suppose I could have early on, when she wasn't being copied by every fashion blogger...oh, and before she opened her mouth:



"The people with the best style for me are the people that are the poorest. Like, when I go down to Venice beach and I see the homeless, like, I'm like, 'Oh my God, they're pulling out, like, crazy looks and they, like, pulled shit out of like garbage cans.'"

WTF, Wasson? You suck.

How can Nylon possibly promote this as fashion? I love Nylon as much as the next girl, but come on! Maybe some homeless people try to be fashionable, but I'm pretty sure that they get these "crazy looks" because they are trying to keep warm/cover their bodies. I can't believe Erin Wasson would say something so stupid and even worse, I can't understand why Nylon would endorse this. It disgusts me.

I Want You.

So bad, it's drivin me mad.

Glam Rock.

This is excellent! Finally a way to wear a sequined jacket that doesn't look tacky.

Headwear.

I'm loving the feathers. How glamorous.

Bowler Hats.

I need one in my life asap!

Also, sorry for my absence. It's currently crunch time at uni, but hopefully I will be updating regularly again soon. Thanks for reading!

Acid.

Some Inspiration.

it makes you look like a lumberjack, but are you man enough to wear it? - jens lekman

I just ordered this bad boy. Say what you will, but I am obsessed with it. It is so loud and obnoxious that it's actually perfect. Now I can finally be warm in Norwich (fyi, I am studying abroad at the University of East Anglia for the year). The students from last year totally lied when they said we wouldn't need a decent winter coat! I am freezing my bum off! Anyway, phew, problem solved thanks to this hideous blue plaid zip up.

Love At First Sight.

I know this collection has been all over every fashion blog and magazine that has anything to say about this year's set of Autumn/Winter collections, but I was going through pictures the other night, and I have to say that out of every collection that I've ever seen on the runway, this has to be my favorite. I've already blogged about it once, but I just felt the need to mention it again, because to me, everything about this is spectacular. It's so effortless, but so glamorous at the same time. It's perfect. Even though it looks like he took old clothes out of the trash and threw them on his models, he makes every piece look so elegant. Seriously, it is so so good. I thought I would get tired of its monochrome color scheme, and the ripped tights, and the ski caps...but NO. I am still head over heels. Just sayin.

I love you, Alex. You are the best.

Heh, Karl.

Translation:
It's yellow, it's ugly, it doesn't go with anything.
But it could save your life.

Love it.

Kanske Är Jag Kär I Dig.

I stumbled upon this brand in Topshop, and I'm definitely in love.
Dr. Denim Jeans

Georgia Jagger.

This girl can rock a bowler hat. I really think she's going to be one of the next fashion "it" girls.

Balmain, Spring '09

I need it. All of it. The jackets in particular are amazing, but those shoes...mmmm! I saw some pictures of the collection on Jane's blog and I couldn't help but sort through and find some of my own favourites.

Love Ya, Kate.

A Little Bit of Rock & Roll...

I'm really loving all of the black, and leather, and all of the other glamorous things that have been thrown into this season's fashion scene.
