Virtual Shoe Museum

Virtual Shoe Museum permalink

Have you found a pair of amazing shoes you can’t take your eyes off and want to wear non-stop? Then checking out the Virtual Shoe Museum might be something you’d be super into. Daphne Bikker is my total favorite so far. She’s killing me with these leather sneakers.

Calpurnia Peach

Calpurnia Peach permalink

The design duo of Calpurnia Peach have given new life to the one piece playsuit with their mix of bright colors and various screenprints. It reminds me of Spring ‘08 Miu Miu (which is really huge right now) and if you wear it just like it’s styled in the photo above you’ll look flawless.

Sophomore

Sophomore permalink

Chrissie Miller’s Sophomore is the latest amazing label that will land on the shelves of cult favorite shop, Opening Ceremony. Check out the incredible look book and keep your eyes open for the Spring line, I have a feeling the striped leggings will be a hit this summer.

Blood Is The New Black

Blood Is The New Black permalink

With the Spring launch of their new collection, Blood Is The New Black are back with some seriously epic artists. Cali Dewitt and Jesse Spears are new to the BITNB roster and their sweetly innocent designs will become fast favorites of everyone who views them. The ‘Hope In A Jar’ tee from Cali is seriously the best.

So you’ve seen her clothes and sunglasses, but have you checked out the amazing jewelry that Karen Walker has been turning out? Photographed with some of best presentation I’ve ever seen, every one of her pieces is incredibly designed and no detail is spared.

Matt & Nat

Matt & Nat permalink

Loving these vegan-friendly bags from Matt & Nat. With a barrage of colors and styles, the nylon pink and faux worn-in leather has to be my favorite. I also love the placement of the zipper. Could this be the new It Bag?

Iggy & Lou Lou

Iggy & Lou Lou permalink

Check out Iggy & Lou Lou if you’re into killer jewelry. My favorite has to be their ‘I Will Eat You Alive’ collection which features bites taken out of their fine porcelain necklaces and attacking bears that have been dipped in gold.

Zooey and Erin (and Ellen!) permalink

If we admit our weakness for Zooey Deschanel, (we used her music in our latest video remember?) we’ll also mention that we’re softies for Erin Featherston and Ellen Von Unwerth as well. This is Erin’s latest fashion video, in all it’s ragamuffin, pop-influenced glory, directed by Ellen and starring the amazing Zooey.

Nawel

Nawel permalink

With a history of working behind the scenes with some of the best fashion houses, illustrator Nawel knows the details of each piece all too well.

Keep Company

Keep Company permalink

A new batch of sneakers have arrived from the wonderful Keep Company. They’ve said it themselves and I have to agree, these are the perfect flats for summer. You’ll also catch yourself repeatedly glancing behind you to see the beautiful imprint the sole leaves on soft surfaces.

Black Sheep and Prodigal Sons

Black Sheep and Prodigal Sons permalink

I’ve been obsessed with Black Sheep and Prodigal Sons for what seems like forever and found this interview they recently did with Don’t Talk To Me zine to be seriously awesome. Who else do you know that grew up in a cult?

From New York 04/15/08

David Black

David Black permalink

I’ve enjoyed his photography for a while now and love this latest batch of behind-the-scenes polariods from David Black. After you’ve checked those out, you can peep the actual shoots most of these were taken on and keep up with him daily on his blog as well.

Elizabeth Spiridakis

Elizabeth Spiridakis permalink

If you’re looking for a weekly dose of laughter with your fashion then check out Elizabeth Spiridakis column on The Moment for the NY Times T style mag. Each week she has a new subject where she “calls it like she sees it” in regards to their style with a tone that is always spot on hilarious and awesome. Be sure to also bookmark her personal blog, White Lightning, which has quickly become my favorite daily read.

Hysteric Glamour

Hysteric Glamour permalink

After viewing the latest pieces from Hysteric Glamour, it looks as if their most recent trip to Detroit may have served as inspiration for a few of their new looks. What I’m guessing will be at the top of everyone’s want list is this incredible patent leather croc bag.

From New York 04/07/08

Brendan Donnelly

Brendan Donnelly permalink

Taking the typical band tee and reworking it a bit, this latest collection of shirts from Brendan Donnelly have me seriously in love. Ramones, Black Flag & Motörhead? Yes please!

From Australia 04/03/08

Bardot

Bardot permalink

With a perfect mix of rocker and sexy chic, Bardot are incredibly fierce. While one could debate whether they’re named after sexpot Bridgette Bardot, I’d pick up some hairspray and liquid eyeliner anyway and channel her with this look.

Identity Crisis

Identity Crisis permalink

This sleeve purse from Identity Crisis is probably the craziest yet logically created bag I’ve ever seen.

Luella Love & Peace

Luella Love & Peace permalink

I grew up surfing and that’s why I’m so stoked on the “Love & Peace” collection for O’Neill by fellow surfer Luella Bartley. With everything you’d imaginably need on a beach excursion (not just clothes, there’s even an actual surfboard) you can bet these pieces will be hot for summer. What’s making this even cooler is that they asked Lovefoxxx from CSS to model in the ads!

From London 03/31/08

Anna Wintour

Anna Wintour permalink

Never question Anna Wintour. Love her or hate her, you have to admit she’s had her act together from the get. Just sayin’.

Bérangère Claire

Bérangère Claire permalink

With her perfected deep v-neck tee and an emblem that will excite me every time I see it stitched in, I am in love with the french designer Bérangère Claire!

SXSW Style

SXSW Style permalink

What did you wear to SXSW? Jennifer Perkins of the Naughty Secretary Club blog chronicled the everyday wear of festival goers and caught lots of well dressed girls. Personally, Alison from The Kills had my favorite look going and not just because we have the same jeans.

Cassandra Rhodin

Cassandra Rhodin permalink

Cassandra Rhodin seems to understand what many people do not. You need a boombox to make sexy dancing. Check out more from Cassandra, plus other great artist series tees here.

Kate YSL Photoshoot permalink

Great behind the scenes footage of the latest YSL ad campaign featuring the flawless Kate Moss.

Kiser

Kiser permalink

Loving these jackets from Kiser. While not everyone is into wearing scarves, this gives you a splash of color in your simple black coat and also keeps your neck quite warm in the cold weather. 

From Paris 03/24/08

Goyard Goes Pink

Goyard Goes Pink permalink

While Goyard have never been in the “it bag” category, I have a feeling that the April launch of their latest color might change that. Pink is the newest shade this Spring for many of their legendary bags and it’s got me lusting after their extraordinary pieces even more than I was before.

From Stockholm 03/24/08

Street Smart

Street Smart permalink

Tony Cederteg, of Cederteg Publishing “fame”, is also the host of Street Smart, a new fashion and culture series. The rub: It’s in Swedish.

From Miami 03/24/08

Krelwear

Krelwear permalink

Miami’s Krelwear has some of the most fun looks for summer. What’s exciting is that you’ll never have to worry about seeing someone in the same dress as you because all of their hand-knitted looks are one of a kind and made to order.

From New York 03/21/08

Kiki de Montparnasse jewelry

Kiki de Montparnasse Jewelry permalink

Totally crazy about this ring from Kiki de Montparnasse! Don’t underestimate this lingerie brand as they’ve been coming at us with these one-off gems for quite some time. Whether you want to read it “Fucking Beautiful” or “Beautiful Fucking” is up to you but all I know is that this is seriously the only jewelry I want to wear right now.

Angelique Houtkamp Tote Bag permalink

Angelique Houtkamp is an amazing artist whose work I really dig and I think she’s going to have a hit with this new tote bag.
