I write to you from a pile of fried chicken and Dixie beer. In case you live in a cave, it’s Superbowl Sunday! WHO DAT! In honor of hell freezing over, I bring you more Saints gear. I hope you’re wearing your black and gold boy shorts right now.
Well, this isn’t really Saints gear, but it works. And it’s kind of rad. Ever since the TSA took my favorite belt buckle, I’ve been checking out a lot of new ones. This is a shabby chic version of all the super plasticy black and gold accessories out there. I love it …read more

If there’s anything I can get behind it’s a sale that’s also an event that’s all about panties! From February 4th to February 21st, it’s 30% off lingerie purchases of $30 or more (on selected items, of course, but there’s a lot of ‘em). Who can say no to panties?
I’m so into this, I’m definitely stocking up on all my faves. And in case you were wondering, these hot shorts are my faves.
Seriously, these babies are pure bootylicious bliss. They make everyone’s ass look like Beyonce’s. Oh, that’s just begging for a flashback. I don’t think you’re ready for this …read more

I like my clothes totally badass or as soft and delicate as possible, and basically nothing in between. There’s nothing contrast to make my fashion-loving little heart go all pitter-patter. Usually I stock up on the soft, feminine frocks in the spring, and rock the total blackout wardrobe all fall and winter. I guess it’s on it’s way to spring, because here I am shopping for blush colored dresses.
This delicate dress is 100% silk and basically perfect. The lace panel insets are Edwardian inspired, and give it a super femme vibe. I love it with black tights and boots. But, …read more

I haven’t written about anything not black for a while, but this dress really threw me for a loop-di-doop. If there’s anything I like as much as leather pants that will last forever no matter what you spill on them, it’s weird, arty dresses that kind of look like paper bags. Check it.
This loose, crinkled dress has a bizarre charm all its own. It looks like origami made of crumpled lunch bags, and I am giving it two thumbs up. I also really like ArtLab’s space age take on this season’s “strong shoulder”. It’s more like a winged shoulder here, …read more

I had a dream about wearing booties like these. These might not be the exact same magical booties of my subconscious, but they are pretty damn close, and I, for one, and excited to see them at a price point under $200. Check it.
Solid, curvy wedge heel, nice three season cutouts, and buckles. Who could ask for anything more? World peace, sure, but that’s less likely than new shoes, isn’t it? I’m thinking that these are the perfect complement to the other day’s leather panel leggings. Add a ripped up punk tee that you’ve had since ‘91 and you’re good …read more

OMFG, these leggings are so rad I can barely contain myself. Tight, black, comfort plus leather, these are literally my fashion fantasy come to life, and I think I probably need five pairs, immediamente. Check it.
Seriously, was my life complete before this moment? Was anyone’s? I’m keeping my eyes trained on Black Market Baby’s line for the next revelatory garment. Available for $80 from Black Market Baby.

The best thing about American Apparel is that they make the basics you need to have to pull off all your rockstar fantasies at a reasonable price point. Totally obsessed with Joan Jett this week? Yeah, me too. Think you might die if you don’t slide your ass into a pair of black satin stretch pants ASAP? Well, have I got a little TGIF gift for you.

Don’t be fooled by the disco in their name, these pants are totally rock-n-roll. As demonstrated by my own personal style guru, Ms. Blackheart herself. Check it.
Now try not buying those pants. My credit …read more

Dear hipsters, You owe everything to Def Leppard. No, I’m totally not joking. That really rock-n-roll looking scarf thing you’ve got going on doesn’t have its origins in some obscure underground scene. I’m not just talking about the keffiyeh, either, because y’all are so alt that you realized quickly that everyone having the exact same scarf wasn’t going to work out. It looks lame. But, I digress. My point is that the whole triangular-shaped scarf thing with skinny jeans and high tops isn’t actually alt. It’s totally power pop. Er, hair metalicious. Here’s a blast from the past that desperately …read more

Almost no one wears a watch anymore, which gives them an immediately retro-centered sort of charm. And Nooka watches have their own special blend of retrofuturism that makes them especially rad. Check this out.

I feel like wearing this watch would be kind of like keeping a pet robot on your wrist. Like I totally wouldn’t be surprised if the thing started talking to you in a Hal-esque sort of voice. Sadly, it doesn’t, but it’s kind of enough that it looks like it should.
I love the weird bar graph look of this one, too. I’m not really sure how you’re …read more

I am no fan of logo tees, unless of course the logo has been tricked out or effaced in some interesting way. I particularly like the dismemberment of super high luxury logos, like what Tom Binns did on his Cartier/Anarchy bracelets. Check what’s been done to the pinnacle of couture, my friends.
Um. ROCK! I’d love this shirt even if it didn’t have a totally weird art story behind it. But it does, it does have a totally weird art story! The inspiration for this shirt came from French street artist, Zevs, who painted this dripping logo on the flagship Armani …read more
