check me out: in love with my new satin cigarette jeans

YAY! My internet is working again! Thanks for your patience this week.
Here’s a painfully hip PSA for you…
Wine and Ebay don’t mix. I was feeling pretty good after a couple glasses when i suddenly got the revelation that what I really really wanted in my life at that moment was a pair of black satin […]

thrift stars of the week! 27 Nov 07

Today was O.D. day for me. I woke up with the flu and OD’ed on vitamins and flu meds. And I really wanted to work from bed all day, but the internet went out at my house so instead I had to OD on elevator music w/ at&t and then go to an internet cafe […]

For your Viewing Pleasure: Haunting Art-Style from Marci Washington

I LOVE these images from Oakland artist Marci Washington (from Fecal Face). The tapestries are hand painted and the dresses are lovely. Forgive me, Marci, but when I first saw these I got that same innocent chill that I felt as an 8 year old watching Scooby Doo. It’s that creepiness and minimalism. But there […]

thrift stars of the week! 20 Nov 07

what it would look like if Edie & Andy got reincarnated and reborn in the 80’s.

i adore the cropped pants with little red socks and ankle boots, so modern and chic. i think that’s going to be the new pant length trend, somewhere between cigarette and capri.

the belt and skirt make this perfectly awesome.

The cutest […]

pssst…

sorry about the slow weekend here. we ended up going on a impromptu november camping trip! it was awesome. i’d just like to thank Al Gore for inventing global warming (ok, that’s a joke. al gore invented the internet, remember? get it straight.) because it was gorgeous out!
so anyway, our weekly thrift stars post promises […]

check out the band: Man Man. Damn.

OK so we like Man Man. A lot. We’re fans, I swear. But we couldn’t pick them out of a crowd apparently because when we went to their show we got up our liquid courage, put on our most benevolent faces and asked these hip-ass mofos for a shot:

We loved the Asics, geek glasses, striped […]

Check us out: in our Downtown Bar-Hopping Duds

We went bar-hopping and to our buddy Nate’s show the other night (he’s in the background with Amber’s dearest roommate Angie in her turquoise wedges and leopard print skirt). I got this giant 80’s turquoise cardigan for $1 at a thrift store and belted it (with a lovely ruched Christmas gift from my dear […]

wish i’d thought of that: layered vests

i totally heart this outfit from streetpeeper…

she’s wearing 2 vests! it’s genius! pretty sure this would only work monochromatically, but i love it! this is a good example of an all-designer outfit that could be easily replicated with thrift store finds, except maybe the wet-look leggings. i’m thoroughly charmed.
