The real reason why I’m posting about Libertine is because of all the PATCHES on the jackets! I’m a big fan of PATCHES! I used to have a Patch obsession about a decade ago… I collected patches from everything from BMW racing patches to friggin’ girl scout patches that I …

Here is the latest from Marc by Mac Jacobs… I’m getting 90’s vibes from this collection, particularly due to the plaid, techno-raver colors. This is something that I would wear in back in 1996. I find it funny that fashion recycles every 20 years because it just means you’ve …

My next project is to go to every fabric store within a 15 mile radius and gather as many fabric swatches as I can. Then, I’m gonna take my trusty glue gun and glue them all to a Salvation Army business suit. Then….. wait a minute! Comme des Garçon …

Check out these mosaic dresses by Dolce & Gabbana! They were inspired by the Cathedral of Monreale in Sicily. Honestly, I think they forgot to put this beauty on a dress! I’m not super religious or anything but why does everyone in those paintings have a their head tilted like …
