new decade? new wave. how will you update your look in 2010?

feature // seeing red

crimson and clover, over and over.

feature // leigh lazark

I like her look...very ice queen, but it works for her. I wouldn't mind her job: resident DJ and It-girl

feature // minimalism

Lately, I've reverted to a more minimalist way of dressing....and I kind of like it! It comes from adopting the philosophy that fashion should be fussless and easy -- built off of clean, timeless basics.

not to mention it's far more practical to invest in high quality basics than a onetime-wear, trend piece. Amen to that.

feature // sweats

It was well executed on the runway, but I just don't see this trend breaking any ground in the "real world"

I mean... I love my sweatpants just as much as the next girl...but i think they belong at home with my scrunchie and uggs, no?

feature // le blog de betty

the epitome of Parisian chic...

killing it // katie cassidy

talk about getting a stylist and figuring her ish out...
Katie Cassidy, better known as Ella from Melrose Place (and yes, I am one of the few who admits to watching and loving MP), is seriously killing it in these red carpet numbers...kind of adore her.

feature // dree day!

my large fashion crush dree hemingway...



style inspiration numero uno right now...

hot to trot // VS Angels

I absolutely love watching the Victoria Secret Fashion Show each year -- it's like the one time that I'm willing to experience the mildest amount of self deprecation that comes from watching thirty something, 6-feet-tall, bronzed & skinny amazon women gallivant down a runway in the sexiest lingerie ever...sigh. It's so worth it though, it is a true visual spectacle.

feature // frida gustavvson

she's a cutie, no doubt. reminds me of a a little pixie...

feature // gossip girl

i mean, it's no secret that a large chunk of us watch Gossip Girl purely for the enviable range of amazing outfits. Each girl is distinctly unique -- almost like... are you a more of an "S" or a "little J" i.e. are you more über bombshell or rebel yell? Boy do I love my Mondays ...

Feature // liz from late afternoon

heard about Liz from Late Afternoon from the girls at A Go Go and instantly fell in love with her look --



you can also see her at NastyGal where she's been a "special guest" model =)

Feature // Acne Pop Classics

Understated with a hint of Native American inspiration, the new Acne Pop Classics collection is superrr laidback and cool --
boys, go buy now.

Feature // kool kate

love her, mean it.

her style motivates me to do a much-needed closet cleaning -- prioritizing neturals front and center.

her hair kills me..
