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.

Ah, Sherbet Tone. High-waisted flared tap shorts with ferocious platform pumps? Be still, my envious heart. It’s the perfect execution of the 40′s pin-up in a modern way. Plus? It’s ALL THRIFTED.

thrift stars of the week! 11 March 08

Ok, you guys at Wardrobe Remix are seriously killing me. I kid you not, I had to (was forced to!) look through almost 1,000 photos today before I got through the week. That’s 30 full pages worth of thumbnail-sized amazingness. I’m starting to get very skeptical emails from people who don’t believe I actually manage to go through them all. Well I do, only because I’m getting anal about the possibility that I might uncover most perfectly layered sartorial confection in the history of man. So really, I suppose it’s actually my fault. But Jeebus help me, I’m pretty sure I’ll soon have to just start doing Thrift Stars of the Day. Two or three every few days… What would you think of that? I think it’s either that or I end up a hunched over screen-squinting old lady. This is not good for my back. 

I interrupt this spoiled brat whining session with a totally fashion-unrelated shameless bragging announcement: OMG, my dog is the SMARTEST. She just learned how to do the Downward Facing Dog yoga pose on command in mere milliseconds. I credit her dome-like head and her neverending lust for cheese. That concludes this totally fashion-unrelated shameless bragging announcement.      

We will now resume with the regularly scheduled, totally fashion-related eye candy.

stunning shoes for your frugal feets!

it seems as though i have the exact average-sized feet. 7 1/2. so all the good shoes at payless run out before any other size and the clearance rack in my size is a sad selection of clunky oxfords and platform flipflops. how i’ve wish for teeny weeny or long and lean tootsies. but look at what i found online! lookit! endless selection, 50-70% off and in my size, too.

i love you forever, interwebs.
