WHY??



Will someone please explain to my why double denim is back in for the 2009 fall season? It seems like finally my dad is getting his way and his wardrobe is being featured on the runway. The picture above is from D&G's fall 2009 show.

I mean, these guys do make it look so damn good.

BUT STILL! This throwback to the 80's is one that doesn't fly with me, to agree with Daniel P. Dykes from Fashionising.com.



Don't you love how it just washes you out?




Kanye, please stop it.



Were baaaaaack!

not quite cowboy boots


I'm sitting here debating whether or not I should buy these. Gorgeous gorgeous gorgeous I think I'm in love. But as per usual, I'm broke.

Stupid rent.

kid solving 2 rubiks cubes and playing guitar hero

This is the coolest thing I've ever seen. This kid can play guitar hero on expert AT THE SAME TIME as solving 2 Rubik's cubes. Before I saw this I couldn't even fathom how he was planning on doing it, but now I'm completely awestruck. His hand-elbow-eye coordination is unreal.

Guys, if you can copy this feat, you've officially won my heart. Start practicing.



AMAZING

surprisingly cool

I know I make fun of my friends that wear New Balance shoes like its my job, but they just got a tiny bit cooler. Pairing with the company 686, New Balance is creating snowboard boots coming out this year. And if they're anything like what my friends say to defend themselves ("Jeez I only wear them because they're comfy"), these could be a great buy.

Also, there's a Recco avalanche rescue system built into them, so if you get lost/buried in a mountain its not the end of the world.

knickers

There's a wonderful site called Culture Label with all kinds of British paraphernalia. And if you're a fan of Anne Boleyn or granny panties you'll love this product. Can't produce male heirs? Going to be executed any time soon? Celebrate by paying homage to this ex-queen underneath all your clothes.

To all the gentlemen out there, if your girlfriend wore these, you'd be turned on and you know it. Don't lie.


Buy them online! Historic Royal Places

every party needs these

Next time there's a party, make sure to come prepared.

pamela love jewelry

Pamela Love is an amazing designer who's jewelry is so interesting that I want to buy every piece. Her jewelery features animal skulls, human hearts, and talons which are cast in gold, silver, or bronze. She plays the drums in a band, worked as a painting assistant for Francesco Clemente in New York City, and showcases her unusual but still trendy style through these gorgeous pieces of jewelry. When I can actually afford it, I'll definitely invest in her stuff.

Here are a few that I really love:

Gold-plated talon cuff bracelet


From Left: Gold and silver peacock rings, double snake ring, bear ring, ram ring, and an intertwined snake ring... in love with them all



Fun fact: in the series True Blood one of the vampires wears this talon necklace


Crow skull necklace
