EFFI BRIEST
Wednesday, March 24th, 2010Ever since we randomly heard about about these ladies a couple of years ago & discovered their videos on YouTube, we’ve been obsessed with Effi Briest!

BROOKLYN IS BURNING
Sunday, March 7th, 2010It is indeed a jungle out there, so you have to be prepared no matter what! We strive to style a wardrobe for every nasty/amazing occasion that may present itself. What to wear when the pipe bomb explodes in the parking garage? Or, when you find out your boss’ child was swallowed by a shark [...]
SUSTAINABLE FUTURES
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010The Sustainable Futures exhibition opens later this month at London’s Design Museum, showcasing cutting-edge and forward-thinking movements in ecologically conscious architecture and design. The show celebrates the excitement of how design can positively contribute to a more sustainable future. Sadly, fashion is lacking from the showcase—albeit as the scope of the show is to mostly [...]
