emerging style icon: Lykke Li

Lykke Li‘s distinct personal style tends to include a lot of layering of slouchy tops, cropped jackets and blazers, loads of large jangly pendants, and a tight chignon. And always in black, with touches of cream and/or gray. It’s a good look (and easy to imitate with thrift store scores if you’re into that sorta thing). J’adore the Brigitte Bardot mixed with early Imitation of Christ styling in this video.

…Yup, that settles it: I need to go dancing.

(thanks, Danny)

M.I.A. gets her design on and considers quitting her day job

It’s been said before that M.I.A. has some irrepressible personal style. That fact cannot be denied…

mia style

So it’s totally effing awesome that she’s starting her own clothing line of bomber jackets, print leggings and T-shirts!

But really? No more of this…??


A friend of mine says that the fact that she can’t dance worth a can of chickpeas is like the effect of a cooling tower on preventing a nuclear reaction of cool.
