Check out this cool exhibit called “Prêt-à-Papier: The Exquisite Art of Isabelle de Borchgrave” at the Hillwood Estate Museum and Gardens in Washington! Belgian artist Isabelle de Borchgrave crafted 18th century gowns and shoes entirely of paper! Dang!!  Obviously, she doesn’t give an eff about paper cuts. Yes, I’m one of those people who …

Check out this Grey Knight Armored Hoodie from etsy seller SOFworks! My goodness, if I was a dude, I would totally rock this sweater. I’d wear it all day and everywhere. The best part, of course, is the hood that looks like a helmet. What I love is how wearable it …

Check out these wild shoes from Masaya Kushino! If you can make Britney Spear’s left over weave look that stylish on a shoe in its afterlife, then you deserve a gold medal. Seriously, it’s like recycling at its finest. Anywho, The ‘ram’ shoe looks more like the glory hole of a buffalo, …

How cool is this?! The only unfortunate thing is that I have no idea who the artist/photographer is. I do have to say the clothes are pretty bland. if they stepped it up with a Gaultier or McQueen photo shoot with a fantabulous chalk background, that would be killer. Love …

I just discovered the cutest designer evvvvvah! Vivetta! I mean, if a designer makes anything kitty related, then I am forever a fan…. Check out the kitty skirt in the fifth photo- preeeeciouss!

Emily Seul Ki Uhm is a graduate of the London College of Fashion and this was her graduate collection. I have to say, I really like the simplicity of it all… polka dots, tic tac toe, stripes. And the colors are pretty awesome. But somehow, it all looks slightly ill-fitting and …

I’ve written about Amato Haute Couture before  – I love love love  their stuff! The butterflies do remind me of Alexander McQueen’s dress, but it’s still rad anyway.  The model is Raina Hein from America’s Next Top Model… I never really see the contestants on that show doing much after …

Louis Vuitton and artist Vincent Bousserez joined forces for a brilliant series called   ‘Larger Than Life’. Tiny figures use the luxurious leather landscapes as their playground making for a wonderful scene. I love creative advertising like this! So, the artist does amazing work- check out his site, especially is art photos named ‘Plastic …

Check out these shirts by Headline Shirts ! I’m a big fan of the Pantone products, especially the coffee mugs and chairs. But, Pantone and THE MUPPETS?! Yes, puhhhleeease! My fave, obviously, is Piggy… light pink. A few months ago I threw a Muppet-themed birthday party for my 7 year old son. I …
