genius layering. simply a cheap leather jacket, tartan scarf and daddy’s old white button-down layered over leggings and chic boots and, bam! looks like she’s been hotlinked from
the sartorialist.

Yes, perhaps the vinyl skirt and purple suede stilettos are quintessentially um, Pretty Woman. BUT with the boxy, sterile top, pale skin, and chic
Mary Quant haircut, she pulls it all off with stunningly editorial vibrato. BRAVO.

So far nothing has been able to get me excited about fall weather until now. Suddenly I’m craving tapestry, tights, and mismatched leather like nobody’s business. This outfit is as rich as an overly custardy tiramisu.

etsy enthusiast, reconstructionist described missemmapeel’s outfit, with her layered tops and belt as headband, as very “urban tribal warrior princess.” i think she just looks incorrigibly hip, to the point where if she got any hipper every dive bar in the US would name a drink after her.

This can’t possibly be as simple as it looks, can it? I’m pretty sure some alterations would have to be done to make an oversized shirt fit so well in the shoulders… this plaid consists of the most divine color-combination I’ve seen in a fortnight. Or 12.

I’m such a sucker for the obvious mixing of decade styles. This 40s ruffled top marries these 70s vintage denim jeans forever and ever amen. It may be an odd match, but I have no objections and no peace to hold forever. I am in full favor of consummation.
A couple months ago I wrote this post about my new life plan for the next few months, or at least what exists of it. But to summarize, it’s to travel my little ass off. Last month I travelled down the west coast with a couple of amazing bands and on Thursday I cashed in my one way ticket to Chicago to hang out with some good friends for a while and see where the wind decides to take me from here.
So anyway, this weekend I took a roadtrip to Frankenmuth, Michigan (of all places) for Oktoberfest and apparently Michigonians have yet to learn of this thing we call “wifi.” Our expensive hotel had a full indoor waterpark but no internet abilities. Seriously, WTF? We had an amazing time, but I apologize for the lack of posts this week. I promise that big things are afoot for Painfully Hip, including a Chicago event called Forkably Hip; A Night of Fashion and Food! More on this tomorrow.

OK, this happened like 3 weeks ago, but whatevs, the fashions remain fresh as ziplocked leftovers. !!! were amazing. ‘Twas a great and sweaty show.
BTW, can someone recommend a good, cheap camera? The photo quality makes it look like my camera was manufactured out of cardboard and tin foil by a 6 year old. Sorry ’bout that.

This is my friend, the lovely Jamaica Cole. She is the designer of overtly opulent Sapphire Cordial. Check out a gorgeous News & Review article here and her recent werewolf-inspired fashion show here.

There’s nothing more satisfying than pulling it out of one’s ass and making an outfit work with 3 very different plaids. Totally nailed it.

I adore this bird-themed tomboy outfit, but answer me one question: What do I need to do to get
rockandrolllovesyou’s amazing denim-finding karma?? Sell my soul to the ghost of Levi Strauss? Is that all?

I don’t know why it is, but I seem to really enjoy paradoxical outfits. Self-contradictory dressing is the new black.
