04.Mar.2010 GIMME GIMME: Marcc by Marc Jacobs S/S 2010
I’d like to revisit a collection that didn’t earn much acclaim from the experts but made my heart sing – the Marc by Marc Jacobs S/S 2010 collection. In the last week or so, I’ve spent a remarkable amount of time flipping through photos of the collection and daydreaming about Spring. While it may not [...]
14.Feb.2010 Why I love Band of Outsiders
Two days ago, a friend asked me why I love Band of Outsiders so much. He complained that the line is too preppy. Well, yes, I agreed. It is preppy and that’s the point. There are some of us out there who still love American classics and appreciate quirky reinterpretations of them.

I still do. Whenever I’m feeling stressed [...]

This morning, I woke up and couldn’t get out of bed. It’s Sunday and it’s gray and miserable looking outside. So it made perfect sense to me that I should watch Singles – a film about grungy Seattle in the early 90s. Two good things came out of this life choice.

Earlier today, Joe Zee tweeted this picture of a tote bag from Moschino Cheap & Chic. The text on the bag read “Fashion is full of chic”. I lol’d out loud and then spent the rest of my day (which was full of work and classes) wondering what the rest of the collection [...]
