Just lucky...

Local Love!

Once again the Renegade Craft Fair is back!

Maybe I'll actually attend this year...

One of my favorite artists will be in attendance Catia Chien! Maybe I'll buy this or this.

Elle Collections

Normally, I'm not a big fan of Elle. So sue me? But recently my attention was drawn to the UK Autumn/Winter 2010 Collections issue. Umm, can I just say cray amaze?

The issue has such a fresh take on a season of fashion, dabblers and spectators alike would be interested.

Highlights include:

• shit talking the Channel show (YETIS!)

• a toddlers take on fashion and polar bears

• inspiration for collections

• killer photo shoots

• a serious discussion about googly eyes

• layouts fit for an art mag

and a healthy dose of not taking oneself too seriously. Pretty much everything I look for in a man... Ermm, magazine.

Pop over to your nearest periodical dealer and snag yo-self a copy.

Like yesterday.

¿Comprende?

It really is the Best Coast isn't it?

Qui êtes vous, Polly Maggoo?

Let me be the first (or second) to recommend the 1966 french fashion spoof called "Who Are You Polly Maggoo?" It opens to an avant-garde fashion show built into this weird artsy paper-machê house. The show is successful only after the acclamation of the fancy magazine editor (Aww, Anna!). The show boosts one particular model (can you say Maggoo?) into an instant fashion icon. Lots of other hijinks ensue. But you'll have to see it for yourself. Here are a few of my favorite images from it:

Taco Shell

Oh gawwwd. this post was too good not to share:

"Got a vagina, but don't want anyone to know? Check out the aptly named "Camelflage," a pair of $19.99 panties that have a built-in guard that smooths out your business. It's kind of like a nut cup for women (a taco shell, perhaps?) and is supposed to protect you from embarrassing moments where your vagina gets in the way of you having Barbie-parts. Though, here's an idea. If you're really horrified about the idea of cameltoe, how about you don't wear pants that give you cameltoe?"

I Know You Wanna...

I heart Freja Beha (even with her ridiculous rhyming name). I heart her even more pretending to be Jane Fonda.

Loving the feathers hanging off of the bag. Also loving the Parisian 1960s look. Do I smell a trend?

Catch this in the latest Vogue Nippon.

Love you, mean it

Building Building Building Berlin

the view from my afternoon tea. this coffee shop was also a hotel and bike rental place. brilliant.

The best coffee in Berlin. Most of its customers were English speakers. We sure do love our coffee.

afternoon break by the river and museum row.

I've never stolen anything in my life... but i really had to control myself when it came to this tandem bike. wouldn't we look great on this, Em?

umbrella!

the fashion map saves lives...

the site of the biggest flea market i've been to! just a park in the picture...

pretty flowers. pretty girls.

Berlin was amazing. An absolute highlight of my trip even just for its architecture. It seems that this city really understands aesthetics and the importance of visually stimulating surroundings as it continues to rebuild itself.

I caught Berlin on one of its first warm weeks this year and It seemed everyone was out and about either in the many different parks that the city has with their sun dresses and straw hats, or enjoying the well thought out coffee shops on almost every corner just as much as I was.

love you, mean it.
