Bloggers, you know you do it. You get an especially insightful/gushy comment and immediately click their blog link to hone in on just how much weight is behind said opinion. On one such electro-excursion, I unearthed this meekly named site called tiny’s world…

Kaboom! Ocular Orgasm. Her site is like a Pandora station for my eyes. So besides being knocked down by this site’s tail feathers, I also felt slightly more legit.

Tiny’s World is the blog of a french illustrator named Julie Nivert.
Her illustrations remind me of a more geometric version of another Painfully Hip Site of the Week, The Moldy Doily by Kime Buzzelli.- a beautiful mingling of decisive, yet deliciously sketchy form and abstraction with an undeniable undercurrent of her profound grasp on the Hip.

She also posts her inspiration for these sublime mouthfuls of beauty – the most drop dead collection of photography that has ever graced my glance. A more exact interpretation of my taste in every frame than even I could collect on my own.

I should really rename this feature the most Painfully Hip Site of Every 6-8 months because with its not very often that a fashion blog inspires me quite as much as freaking Annabu of Just Bu It.
For. Serious.

J’adore her unexpected color combos, clunky shoes and sporty details. So good.

We are headed back home from Chicago (aka 100% pure love) tomorrow where I’m going to attempt to coordinate three Painfully Hip Design Collective photoshoots in the 3.5 weeks we have left before we leave on our epic thrifting roadtrip. Woohoo!

although i’ve heard of Daddy Likey many times, it has somehow thus far avoided my mousal exploration. i don’t know why. maybe i have dad issues. thank jeebus i got over them though, because this blog makes me very happy. and by happy i mean silly with delight. and i quote:

“My reaction to this sweater–an involuntary squeal followed by hyperventilating followed by ransacking my house to try to find an extra $275, only to find 30 damn cents–made me realize not only that I am extremely materialistic, but that this sweater is my style, epitomized.Let me just call up my old calculus know-how to put together a quick formula here…let’s see….Slouchy grandpa + flamboyant showgirl = Winona. Yep, that’s about right.

Nanette Lepore Sequin Cardigan, $275, nordstrom.com

p.s. How rad would it be if there were a lost episode called Mr. Rogers Goes to Vegas? I wonder how many times he changed his shoes in that one.”

her name is Winona, she’s beautiful, completely hilarious, has amazing thrifting luck and mad (mad!) writing skillz, she’s like the Heather Armstrong of fashion blogs. she recently marched in a peace march in DC! thanks Winona! Painfully Hip will come right out and say that Bush’s War Sucks Balls. yes folks, you heard it here first. i need to make some bumper stickers.

anyway, definitely check out her Don’t Show-cha your Chocha series for hilariously wardrobe malfunction (oh hell no. i didn’t just do that, did i?) worthy dresses. She’s also running a contest for the most embarrassing junior high fashion stories (uh, i’m having devastating flashbacks of my tight white denim cut-offs with plastic shit glued all over them! help!). vote on the hilariously heartbreaking finalists here.

so Winona of Daddy Likey? i’m gonna go ahead and give you a Painfully Hip Site of the Week M.I.A. badge because she’s the only girl in the world who can pull off the ghastliest junior high fashion of my generation and still be worthy of the Painfully Hip masthead. nice work, Winona. how hip are you?!
