it's the most wonderful time of the year!

You know what's so great about this time of year (other than the smell of christmas trees, specialty pumpkin spiced lattes and required by law vacation days)? Loads of the shoes that we died for in all the fashion week street style shots (here, here, here, et cetera, et cetera) are finally on sale!

Take THOSE cape Wangs for example. Poof! 30% off! And the best part...the sales only get better!

diy: feather trimmed fedora

Ohhhh the fedora - a go-to on bad hair days, the perfect accomplice to help you hide from the world, a kepi warmer during winter months, a summer staple and a street style win. With so much to offer Soph and I figured why not tszuj one up for our latest DIY?

All you need is a hat, feathers, some glue, scissors and approximately 20 minutes. Easy peasy.

I'm wearing DITA Vesoul sunglasses, H&M jacket, DIY clutch.

Soph and I couldn't take it any longer. We HAD to DIY the Valentino studded clutch. You're welcome!

How to: DIY Valentino Inspired Studded Clutch

You will need:
1 package of studs
Clutch (ideally with a strap/wristlet)
Pliers or a long metal spoon to flatten the edges of your studs
Ruler

Starting from the corner, outline your clutch and strap with studs a quarter inch apart - use pliers to fold over prongs.

Bellissimo!

"The 2012 Collection is a venture through dreamlike landscapes. The inspiration is drawn from mythology and tales, playing with escapist and Romantic fantasies. The collection makes up an odyssey of imagination, mystique and poetry, switching between dreams and reality, thus welcoming Dark Knights, Pale Moons, Magic Hours and Misty Mountains.

Combining fragile and organic structures with an aesthetic influenced by futurism and geometry, the collection sets to blend ancient tales with modern mythologies of sci-fi and their futuristic imagery; invoking concepts like time-travel, parallel universes and space distortion. Through a pale, at times translucent colour palette, natural materials like feathers and horsehair are juxtaposed with iridescent colours, industrial structures and mutated shapes. All pieces are handmade."

WHAT? SO ill.

i totally get ripped off for japanese mags like JJ & Vivi, but i keep coming back for a new issue every month. I absolutely love the format of japanese mags, less ads & more funny/cheese content. Although i have no intention to try any of it out, I adore when they feature step-by-step hair and make-up on like 6 different girls.

I'm totally smitten by these new twist head bands we're making at cali select. Oh how easily I fall for a giant bow to put on my head!
