Plaid, ombre, aubergine, oh my!

I came across these street style photos of Joanna Newsom (from Mister Mort) while I was frantically searching the internet for information about her forthcoming album. Normally I would be insanely jealous of any girl sporting that Fall '09 Comme des Garcons trench with Opening Ceremony booties and kelly green 2.55 but I am totally happy that Joanna posesses such fabulous things. Nothing is more annoying than celebrities who drop tons of money on Coach bags and ugly Balmain sandals when they could be buying Rodarte dresses and Tabitha Simmons shoes. Joanna, on the other hand, clearly has fantastic personal style. She even matched her Starbucks cup to her outfit! I can't help but wonder what is inside that cup; I think it's probably a Gingerbread latte...

Fashion on Film: Cracks

I am really excited to see Cracks, which stars Eva Green, was produced by the incredible Christine Vachon, and looks to be a hybrid of Heavenly Creatures and Picnic at Hanging Rock. Oh, and it has copious amounts of gorgeous clothes....

Cat Paint!

My public transportation experiences are much more enjoyable now that I have discovered that magical Cat Paint iphone application. You can basically just insert a cat into any of your photos. You only have eight cats to choose from but who cares, it's 99 cents. Below are some of my favorite creations; I must note that I also used the Camera Bag application (magazine filter) to give them a more surreal, contrast-y look.

Rachel Antonoff's Spring presentation was adorable but sadly cat-less. Problem solved.
Katie in the bathtub. I love how the cats provide an instant murder narrative.
Sweetie singing Rhiannon. I love that "She is like a cat in the dark and then she is the darkness" lyric.
An abstract composition. Check out other masterpieces at the Cat Paint gallery

Like some cat from Japan

I LOVE YOU

Where The Girls Are

As per usual, Lyell is driving me crazy.









I need a "get rich quick" plan. Her collaboration with UO was such a bust in person* - back to wanting the good stuff.

*not Ms. Fletcher's fault, bien sur

The new Debbie Harry barbie....

Looks like a stripper. That's all.

Behold! The Google image results for "Cat Party"

Mag Hag: Mono Kultur

I've been feeling uncharacteristically apathetic about magazines lately but then I discovered these back issues of the Berlin-based quarterly Mono Kultur at the New York book fair earlier this month. The concept is simple, each issue is devoted to one person (or band). There is a Q&A, a small selection of relevant images, and that's it. The design of each issue is unique and completely impeccable. I really can't say enough good things about Mono Kultur. Oh, and it features really cool people like Tilda Swinton, David Shrigley, Francois Ozon, Miranda July, and Dries van Noten. I also really love the choice of Michael Ballhaus, who I didn't know anything about before I read his issue. He is a cinematographer who worked on all the best Fassbinder movies and invented the mind-blowing 360-degree tracking shot used in Martha. Check out the video if you haven't seen it, it's magical. And so is Margit Carstensen's all-white outfit, it kills me every time.
