I totally just heard of this designer, Illex Kinney the other day on Gnarlitude, one of my top ten fave blogs. These wedges are basically perfect. Check it. I love the way the asymmetrical laces gather the leather so that it looks rouched. Umm, and the fact that these babies look like a solid four inches of fun. The almond-shaped toe is spot on and walkable. Wear with everything. Available for $250 from Bona Drag. Photo Credit: Bona Drag [Read more]

I don’t lust after bags. Some people think it’s like a personality defect or something, but whatever. Bags hold things. I want them to be practical first, leather second, and black no matter what. Other than that, I’m mostly unimpressed with the bells and whistles of the handbag industry. Until now. Now, I am thinking of selling my car/bike/soul to buy this. Check it. Yes, people, that’s not one but two kinds of skin on this bag and one of them is snakeskin which makes me feel all woozy and blush. Um, and check the chains on the handle. Not just totally badass looking, but also practically placed, so as not to dig into your shoulder. I love how dark and burnished the studs on this bag are, not all shiny and pop punk.... [Read more]

As soon as I saw this piece, my brain screamed, “f%*k yes!” and then my practical side thought, “but where would you wear it?” Duh, anywhere! You can be a disco princess! Your theme song will be “Street Life” by Randy Crawford and you will never wear flats again! Or, conversely, you could take this totally rock-n-roll and wear it with ripped jeans and a leather jacket. That’s definitely what I’d do, but only because I already have those clothes and I suck at the Hustle. Available for $85 from Mleiladast. Photo Credit: Mleiladast [Read more]

Nothing says white trash faster than a wolf tee. Which is why I’m stocking up now and repping my roots. Paired with a fringe jacket and high boots, and you’re basically me at 33 trying to look like me at 13. FYI: my leather doesn’t actually have fringe on it, but I kinda wish it did.   In real life, I’d wear this tee with a bottle of Boone’s Farm and a minor oxycotin addiction and walk around saying, “hey, does that come in acid wash?” Available for $68 from OakNYC.

93% of interesting people love lobsters. No, really, it’s true. Gerard de Nerval, a completely awesome symbolist poet and haver of nervous breakdowns, was known to walk his pet lobster around the streets of Paris. This shirt is a tribute to him. The text is in French, but translated, it reads “I have a liking for lobsters. They are peaceful, serious creatures. They know the secrets of the sea, they don’t bark…” Ha! It’s true! They really don’t bark. Available for $24 from Xenotees. Photo Credit: Xenotees [Read more]
