“woodland creatures, plaid, houndstooth, zigzags and argyle” by Painfully Hip. About Budget Style (click for more details!) The Painfully Hip Design Collective are on a roll. This time within the walls of the lofty new Eric Firestone Gallery, a magnificent building full colored glass and beautifully weathered murals and seasoned brick, what Eric hopes to call “Tucson’s version of Andy Warhol’s Factory.” So on friday night’s big opening (starts at 6pm, the gallery expects around 500 people), we plan to take that literally… by doing a live photo shoot with the art opening party as a backdrop. I can’t tell you how excited this makes me. Make sure you stop by if you’re in the area so you can witness my hummingbird-like styling and direction …although some may come for the champagne. I am getting ahead of myself. The following is my interpretation of Autumn this year… a jaunty 70s schoolgirl with Biba Girl tendencies. Shop the shoot (click images to see listings)! Painfully Hip Design Collective – F/W 2009 photos by Ryan Mihalyi All clothing is vintage, except the luscious, soft as butter, cornflower denim (J Brand jeans. I found them for $30 at TjMaxx. SCORE. Continue reading Painfully Hip Design Collective F/W 2009: Daphne After a very busy weekend, we finally got a chance to play dress-up with Diana’s closet (since mine has now shrunk from “walk-in” to “portable”) and chisel out our favorite fall trends. This, as fellow Tucsonans know, is a hilarious feat in early September. The relaxed look on my face is a SHAM, it was 96 degrees and not a good day for boots and sweaters and hats. However, fun was had… and not just by our on-looking neighbors with the cooler of High Life. These were all taken in and around our new house – a veritable paydirt of textures and colors that any photographer would covet. Perfect! (Click on photos to get to the Etsy listings). Photos by Diana Deaver Most of you are teetering between summer and fall, but I am in the desert and will probably be sporting the minidresses for a couple more months. I am, however, tumbling down the rabbit hole for this transitionary photoshoot by photographer BriAnne Wills, giving love to vintage fur and swimwear. I love the (probably unintentional) Margot/Richie Tenenbaum styling and the makeup is absolutely brilliant. Model: Stephanie @ Option So. The last two weeks since we got back from the Painfully Hip Roadtrip have been INSANE-O-RAMA. … if you think that’s a bit much, you should see the list I sent to Diana, who, by the way, has an eerily similar list of her own. For instance, swap “Canada” with “Mexico” and change “to Arizona” to “in with Amber.” Therefore? Hang in there, folks. This is going to be a whole new beginning for Painfully Hip, because Diana and I have realized: once we get our heads together, we tend to get a little, ahem, obsessed. I have created “The Most Stupidly Half-Assed Animated Gif Ever Made” in celebration. In case you haven’t noticed, I am getting REALLY EXCITED about winter for once! And not just because I’ll be able to wear short shorts for most of the year. Check out WellWornRoad for more details, including photos of our NEW HOT WATER HEATER!! |
