So… definitely my top two favourite collections so far are Proenza Schouler and Lanvin;  Lanvin for its decadence (recession, what recession?) and Proenza for its wearability and simplicity..

Proenza Schouler

Lanvin

 1917-2009

One would think so if they were in LA today… we had a high of 86 degrees.
I admit, I can’t recall the last time I bought a new swimsuit.  I love vintage swimwear because of the modest, flattering cuts, as well as the patterns.  However there are a few new swimsuit styles that I really like so far this season (ones that more than nod to styles of the past).

Urban Outfitters

JCrew

(this one also comes in grey, yellow, or solids… tough call!)

Hannah Waldron just updated her site with more fantastic work… take a look!

For guys and gals alike this is a lovely messenger bag.  It will hurt the ol’ pocket book though.

I really like this “Amidst Routes” print; an edition of 266 prints.

I love this shop, and can’t believe I’ve never posted it before.  I’m especially loving this stacking stud ring which is just adorable, and these necklaces which are super bad-ass.

Just some things I like…

My good friends over at Bodies of Water just sent over a link to their music video for “Under the Pines” which was a long time in the making.  *Warning there is some fake violence and gore.*  Click on the image below for a link to the hi-res version of the video.  It’s been pulled, so the image will just take you to YouTube… sorry.

I love Giertz’s work… it was hard to choose which prints to show, but I really like these three mask-like prints.

What a nice day- I have been coming across some very great portfolios after feeling rather uninspired for a while…
