Chanel Paris-Moscow Pre-Fall Accessories Video permalinkI honestly don’t know how they do it. This Chanel Pre-Fall video brings you into this fantasy mindset for just a few minutes before reality sets back in and you then realize you are unfortunately not one of the lucky girls trying on one of those spectacular headdresses.

Purple Magazine Diary permalinkIn what might be the best idea EVER, Oliver Zahm, the man behind the best mag in the universe, Purple Magazine, launched the Purple Diary during the first week of NYFW.

Lisa Li-Lund permalinkAw, January—the month that signals there’s officially nothing to look forward to until spring—the perfect time for staying inside to watch bad movies, internet-stalk exes, and cast away resolutions about not drinking on weeknights. The perfect soundtrack: Lisa Li-Lund, who’s sweetly melancholy songs are like a daisy sprouting through stained snow. Especially worth noting: Her amazing cover of Justin Timberlake’s “Cry Me A River.” |
