Check out this 33 foot LEGO Christmas tree inside London’s St Pancras station! I was at that very station last year a couple days before Christmas and we got stuck in the huge blizzard that delayed every train for days. We got super lucky and made it on the last train …
Read More »Designer Band-Aids: Cool Cuts
Whenever I get a gash on my body, the first think I think about is that I get to cover it with a cool band-aid. I usually go with bacon or Hello Kitty, but now I can put a Chanel logo! These are Brandages and you can find an array …

You know those reusable foam coffee sleeves? Well, round them all up and sew them onto your coat collar and call it a Pedro Lourenço! Then you can carry several coffee cups at one time, kind of like those African tribes that carry all kinds of crap through the …

That Sarah Burton is really deceiving with her ‘comfortable shoes’ and frumpy personal style. Who would have thought she could come up with this beautiful collection that could’ve come from Alexander McQueen’s very own brain? The best part of it all are the hooded dresses. They should make more of …

HAHAHAH! “I Love Crap”! That Vivienne! Letting the red dye seep into her brain. Vivienne’s spring collection was the usual hobo meets the dumpster of an eighteenth century aristocrat. Did they have dumpsters back then? Anyway, I think individually, each piece is not that bad, but when it’s thrown …

I just don’t know what is going on in that head of Manish (what up with that fish?), but I like it. His spring collection was a mixed bag for me- some were genius, others were hideous. Here are a few that I really liked. Manish really likes to pile on …

London-based designer Inbar Spector is definitely one to watch! The honeycomb dresses fashioned out of tulle and sheer fabrics are something out of a sci-fi movie. There’s something punky about the shiny snakeskin paired with a delicate tulle, which I love. My fave is obviously the flashy, gold dress at the top. …

Accessory and prop designer Fred Butler showed their Spring collection during London Fashion week recently and I must say, it’s like an explosion of color! I bet I could get the same vibe if I just took my son’s playhouse tent and wrapped it around my extremities. When you’re a raver, anything …

I’m not sure what to say about Louise Gray‘s collection except that I love the colors, which is a Louise Gray staple. It’s kinda funny her name is a drab color, gray, but she her collections are anything but drab. Anywho, this collection reminds me of those modern art …

Here are some photos from the Fashion Fringe show in London. Fashion Fringe is like a British Project Runway, but without the cameras to capture the bitchiness and breakdowns. Anywho, these are ‘WTF?’ standouts from the show. I’m glad to see they decided to polish the runways with slipper dusters. …
