Baby

We've been drinking coffee and listening to house music all day—again. Fortunately, there are videos, like this one, that are a little more soothing to the soul. (Via Pitchfork.)

Eyola

permalink

Not Just A Label continues to blow our mind and introduce us to new out-of-this-world labels. For example: Eyola, a Victorian-inspired collection from fashion designer Ayole, who once worked for Alexander McQueen. This Anima Octave jacket would make a stunning Halloween outfit all on it's own. Haute stuff, for sure.

Devendra Banhart "Walillamdzi"

permalink

In an interview very much worth reading, Devendra Banhart complained to Pitchfork "...the labels have released the videos without me seeing them—incomplete videos that make no sense and make me look even dumber than I am." Could be why he's releasing this 'unofficial' video for "Walillamdzi" (oh, Devandra...) off of his upcoming major label debut, What Will We Be. (Via Stereogum.)

Minx Nail Coverings

permalink

When I spotted this photo of my friend Chrissie Miller of Sophomore and her friend Hilary Rosenman and their incredible nails, I had to ask Chrissie immediately what the deal was. Turns out it's Minx Nail Coverings and while I've never spent a dime getting my nails done before, the leopard print is just too amazing not to try at least once. X - Jen
