Norwegian Wood Psych Out Thigh Highs

Everyone knows and loves Norwegian Wood's Angie Johnson for basically inventing the cage skirt but have you seen her Psych Out faux thigh highs?! I've only just discovered them and love the sneaky way she finally made a pair of thigh highs that won't fall down! (Not to mention the amazing fabrics she choses.) If I were you I'd grab them fast!

The Cult 'For The Animals' Video

The Cult are about to be everywhere you look, once again. Their new record Choice of Weapon is coming out next month, they're heading out on a sick tour this summer with Against Me! This new extremely killer video and song from the new album is out now. They will be your soundtrack for the foreseeable future if it's up to me. X - Jen

Mother Denim 'Wander' 2012

I couldn't believe my eyes when I flipped through the Mother Denim Wander 2012 lookbook, as they seem to be making every wearable piece possible. Literally every big denim style that exists, from mini-skirt to bell bottom and everything in between. I have no doubt they will be the new staple in a matter of weeks. X - Jen

Holton Rower @ The Hole

Easily one of the most amazing art shows I've ever seen, Holton Rower's new "Pour Paintings" up now at The Hole Gallery in NY are well worth a plane trip. These pieces are so unreal they beg to be seen in person to be believed. X - Jen

Surf Daze Interviews: Stone Cold Fox

Stone Cold Fox are one of the latest labels to be picked up at Urban Outfitters for the Surf Daze Collection. We spoke to them about a few of their favorite things, the life of being a Stone Cold Fox and much more.

How did Stone Cold Fox begin? What were you doing before?
D: It began after Cydney graduated for fashion design in San Francisco, and I graduated for merchandise marketing and business in L.A. We both had to move back home, and we started a blog with Cyd’s senior collection, which we added on a few more styles. We did it all in her parents extra room and we were cutting all the orders out on a kitchen table and Cyd was sewing in a little room. From there we worked side jobs and did SCF at night, and it slowly grew from there. We got picked up in a few stores, got an official work space and website, and we just take it day by day and have so much fun with it.

I imagine Penny Lane from Almost Famous would have stocked her suitcase before Morocco with everything from your label. Do your inspirations change each season or are there certain things always fueling what you want to do with your latest collection?

Cydney: She would definitely pack lots of SCF and beautiful vintage pieces! The inspirations do change for every collection, but we always stick with the SCF aesthetic. Very '70s, lingerie inspired, delicate pieces that feel vintage. 


What's the normal routine over at SCF headquarters? 
C: It's quite hectic here; we answer a ton of emails every day, we cut out personal orders. I try to set aside some time to make a new item every day, pattern work and sketching. Dallas is working with our production team getting all the items ready for stores. We sometimes have fittings in the office with brides, or just people who want to come in. And sometimes we go to LA and get prints, and fabrics for orders. 

Where would your go-to surfing destination be and why?
Dallas: I have always wanted to go to Brazil and check out the beautiful beaches and the culture over there. I heard there are great jewelry and accessories stands right on the beach and that sounds like heaven to me! I would also love to go back to Bali. We went there about two years ago, and it seriously changed our lives. That place is magical.  


What are you listening to, in and out of the office?
C: Right now I’m really into Alabama Shakes, Fleet Foxes, Tennis, and Brian Jonestown Massacre.

What kind of things do you collect?
D: Yes, we do love to collect. We might have a bit of a shopping problem. We love our carved out skull heads from Bali, antique embroidered Turkish throws and pillows, coffee table books, Moroccan rugs, cow hyde rugs, and beaded crystal glasses. 

Getting inside your closet, what are you grabbing first in case of a fire?
C: My leather Friend of Mine shorts, this amazing crochet vintage slip, and my fur jackets. Luckily almost all of the SCF items are at the office so they are safe.
D: Oh that’s a hard one. I would try to save all my shoes, these amazingly soft leather pants from The Row, and my antique turquoise cuff and matching earrings.



Who would be your dream person, alive or dead, to dress?
D: I would say Jane Birkin and Kate Bosworth.

Do you plan on expanding SCFHome, your bedding collection?
C: Yes! We love home décor so much. We are coming out with our newest home collection in May 2012, and we will probably do one a year. We have redone our entire work space, and decked out our new home in Venice Beach. The home wears are so amazing, with the most beautiful linens and silks mixed with laces. This time we are graduating into more kitchen wear, and some new bedding.



What would be your dream to do next? Footwear? Shades? A store?
C: I think a store would be really cool, and bringing in one or two accessories. We did a cow-hyde clutch in our second collection that was so amazing, so I would love to start doing travel bags or small clutches again.
D: Definitely footwear—that would be my dream! I have so many ideas already and I have always loved shoes. Whenever we go to flea markets or antique shops, Cyd is always the one who finds the amazing clothes and I find the amazing accessories. I would love to do it all and open a shop. That’s what I originally went to school for, so one day we will have our own shop filled with SCF and amazing accessories!

Burberry Prorsum Purple Linen Trench

I'm a sucker for nearly all things Burberry Prorsum. All thrown together, the beautiful shade of purple to this full skirted trench and the lovely details of the collar will keep me daydreaming for days. I'm also fully behind wearing all Prorsum coats as your full on outfit (flasher style). X - Jen

Calvin Klein Tumblr

Calvin Klein have just launched their tumblr, with  Hanneli Mustaparta as their main girl behind the blog. Alongside tons of big events, CK model exclusives, and Hanneli checking out new pieces, it will of course be littered with old CK campaigns (you know, like the one featuring Jennifer Herrema!), and heaps more Calvin Klein history.

BOTB by Hellz Bellz Footwear

It may not be Hellz Bellz first foray into footwear but it's the first official for the label all by themselves and they killed it! The perfect color ways and sick design of all three shoes will definitely have everyone anxious to get their hands on a pair! X - Jen

Michael Pitt for Prada SS12

Have you seen the genius Michael Pitt for Prada Menswear SS12 ads? He alone with that to-die-for Gretsch White Falcon has me sold and wanting to fill my husbands closet with Prada. They couldn't have created a campaign any more perfect! X - Jen

Mantiques Modern

My new favorite pastime is browsing Mantiques Modern for all their new vintage Goyard. Not only do they regularly have pieces from this legendary French luggage house, but keep an eye out for assorted jewelry, bags from Hermes, and Vuitton trunks too. This is what my flea market dreams are made of! X - Jen

Carven SS12 Jacquard Blazer

I know as it is getting increasingly hotter outside that the idea of purchasing a new jacket may seem less ideal, but I just adore the way this Carven SS12 jacket is cut and those dreamy french stripes. Show off your beach body or favorite tee, or wear it with a leather skirt to really change things up. It's perfect. X - Jen

Carly Hunter AW12

I'm so in love with this faux shearling gilet from Carly Hunter for AW12. The white and contrast of black inside go perfectly together and we all know just how good this will look paired under or over your favorite old worn in leather jacket. The best addition to your closet you could possibly make this year! X - Jen

Deadlicious Chocolate Skull

Deadlicious is my favorite french motorcycle and an all kinds of weird blog, but they also happen to be chocolatiers! The new chocolate skull they've produced may have been made right in time for Easter, but I guarantee I know 100 people who'd buy it year round and simply place it under a glass dome in their kitchen (including those like me who are not that into cacao).

Dannijo FW12 'Joanna' Bib Necklace

I am all for giant jewelry like this incomparable Dannijo FW12 'Joanna' gunmetal bib necklace worn with my collection of beloved old falling apart tees. Equal parts high and low with just the right amount of hyper-chic. X - Jen

Therese Rawsthorne AW12 "Welcome To The Overlook Hotel"

Beyond obsessed with the AW12 "Welcome To The Overlook Hotel" collection from Therese Rawsthorne. Just one look at this beautiful lurex dress and hot-as-hell leather blouse and I was sold, but it just gets better with every piece. I am hooked on Rawsthorne! X - Jen
