I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! Designer  Angela Brandys is not afraid of color and mixing and matching textures to make a totally new look- punk rock luxe gypsy. I pulled that one out of my ass- but doesn’t it sound super fancy and cool… punk rock luxe gypsy. Yeeeaaaah, I like …

OMG! BOWSSSSS! And they’re made out of fluffy and soft FEATHERS!!! As you may know, I have a bow obsession and it’s not just a phase. What I love about these bows by   Our House Design are the luscious colors and the fact that they’re made from super soft feathers! The only …

This is the Ilanio fashion show at the  Supreme Beings fashion show at San Francisco’s SOMArts center this past March. I have to say I had a Hot Topic flashback with the spiked rubber tumor dress because it totally looks like this backpack my friend (and a million other emo/goth ravers) used to …

Ever wanted to go out in style and couldn’t find the raddest coffin that sums you up? Check out “Boxed: Fabulous Coffins from the UK to Ghana” in London. They were on display this past January, so I’m pretty sure they’re not there anymore but you can see the pictures here. Everything …

Dutch design firm Elroy Klee did a series of photos called ‘Mindplay: bricks on me’ with Legos as wigs. I really love this and am tempted to raid my son’s lego collection and make a damn wig out of them. It looks like pixelated hair. So robotic. Anywho, I think I’ve found …

Check out these cool harnesses from  Freyagushi on Etsy… So versatile and Alexander McQueen-esque without the hefty price tag. Seriously, it can dress up the most boring JC Penney dress around! What I love most about these harnesses is that you can embellish it with pins and rhinestones as you please. …

Here are my favorite looks from the latest Chanel Resort Collection. I always wondered what the purpose of a ‘resort’ collection is, I mean, it’s in between Spring and Fall so why not just call it the ‘Summer’ collection? Discuss. Anywho, the show took place at Versailles , which is …
