Vogue Fashion Fund: Making the Cut

I just discovered this original series which launched on Hulu about the designers who were vying for the most recent Vogue Fashion Fund award and it's really great.  New episodes through the end of February.  Reminds me of the great creative talent that makes me a believer in independent fashion.

Maison Martin Margiela Sequin-Splashed Bootie

I spent some time asking myself whether I loved these Maison Martin Margiela sequin-splashed leather booties.  And you know what?  I love them, I really do.  They remind me a bit of those silly elementary art craft projects you do when you dip something in glue and roll it around in sequins.  One part mad, equal parts genius!  What do you think?

Creatures of the Wind Spring 2012

Look up the word "zeitgeist" in the dictionary and you will most likely find the neon brights, structured silhouettes and saturated floral prints from Creatures of the Wind Spring 2012 collection.  

Looking forward to seeing what this talented duo have in store for Fall!

Sunday Kind of Love - RIP Etta James

I was a student at Berkeley when I discovered Etta James for the first time- I remember listening to her in my dorm room, wanting my adult life to really start.  I was so impatient for everything then- my first real job, my first real love... Not knowing how precious a thing the heart is, and how quickly time would come to pass.  And all of those things I had waited so impatiently for, would happen, and pass, without fanfare at all.

Thank you, Ms. Etta James, for bringing your dreamy music into the world.  The soft, romantic core in all of us thank you for your lyricism, your beautiful voice.  Rest in peace, Etta James.

Hello Hello Kitty

There are no words for how brilliant and funny and silly this video is.  A collaboration involving my favorite cartoon cat, Hello Kitty.  Hope you are having a groovy day!
