I’ve never been a fan of Missoni… I’ve never really gotten the appeal of their prints.
Prints are a huge inspiration for me– I have a vintage scarf collection handed down from my grandmother and great grandmother– but I tend to go for large bold whimsical prints, rather than micro knit shapes that blur with [...]

I’ve been sick in bed today, perusing the internets to keep my mind off of the nausea, checking out old posts of the Sartorialist. I was trying to remember the last time I was following the Sartorialist regularly, which was probably last summer. Time flies. Anyhow I came across a post called “On the Street… [...]

I love Winter holiday party clothes. Yes, you do have to wear more outer layers, and it can get messy hiking through sludge-y snow, but if you’ve figured out your protective outer wear, you can unveil your velvet-y, sheer, feather party dress intact underneath once you arrive at your destination.
Taking a cue from Klara [...]

I’ve been watching a lot of holiday movies of late, and one of my all time favs is Shop Around the Corner (1940). Its been copied many times over the years, including more recently the film You’ve got Mail, which was a reworking of the Shop around the Corner plot, but none are as rich [...]

Maybe you’ve already seen these, they’re from an issue of Fashion Rocks from several months back. I haven’t been able to upload my own pictures since my computer troubles, so I thought I’d never post these– until I came across these great scans ready-uploaded to the amazing internets.

I’m smitten with Madebyhank, a handsewn purse/bag shop on etsy. Fabric textures and animal design obsessions? Its heavenly. It was created by Kate Henry, who also keeps a Madebyhank blog. Her shop has a really charming feel– especially in the attention to detail like her tags with plastic animals glued on.
Kate’s goods go pretty fast [...]

I’m loving this season in all its bohemian, victorian, formal, casual, structured, slouchy mash-up glory. Sometimes a season rolls around where you feel it expresses all your wardrobe dreams… it makes me conjure daydreams of the Beatles (girlfriends in tow) circa 1967 dressing up for a formal cocktail party at the proper victorian home of [...]

Since I purchased “100 Years of Fashion Illustration” (highly recommended, I’ll posting pictures of its pages soon, when my computer is fully functioning), I’ve been pouring over Rene Gruau’s illustrations. His illustrations are super classy, but without the stiffness of other vintage fashion illustrators. They really remind me of Toulouse-Latrec, one of my favorite artists. [...]

I’m crazy about these rare photographs of the Beatles circa 1967 and wanted to share. The colors and composition are definitely fodder for some stuff I have in the works right now. I’m also crazy about John’s pink Victorian military jacket (below). Cropped and fitted victorian style military jackets certainly have [...]

I recently read this article on Australian photographer Rennie Ellis. I really love the neon extravagance of his 80s fashion photography.
