fall trends according to Copenhagen

one of my very favorite streetwear sites to browse is copenhagen street style. those copenhageners (copenhagenites? copenhagenese?) have true, fearless and unrepentant personal style. well, last week was the Copenhagen International Fashion Fair and i absolutely love their take on this year’s fall trends (click illustrations for description).

How Can Such Beauty Spring from Such a Poopy Name?

You all remember Amber’s train kids post. Well, Fecal Face remains a daily haunt for me and their Photo of the Day feature is my favorite. There are so many hip kids and lovely clothes that I decided to sift through the June and July submissions and post my favorite:

C’mon. Stop smiling at me like you are the cutest girl in the world who’s also wearing the cutest dress in the world while holding the leash of the cutest pit bull in the world (Notice I didn’t say “cutest dog in the world”, as we all know who that is.), because well, you are. Even though, as a survivor of a pit bull attack, I am justified in hating pit bulls forever, that puppyface and that dress have moved me to grant temporary clemency for the sake of this post.

This woman is single-handedly (and double-breastedly) bringing back those protactor-sized frames and original Macintoshes (and I must have those shoes). No man can remain floppy around her.

This girl was the only one in the shot five seconds ago, thats how H-O-T she is. Those dudes are just smoking cigarettes in an attempt to make their penises look large in comparison. Something tells me this chicky-pants isn’t falling for it.

She’s reading her fan mail. One of them’s from me to her sweater.

NICE trenchcoat!!! Hopefully you’re not nude under there, because that coat belongs on the wall next to the Warhol.

I can’t even really see what she’s wearing, but isn’t this picture mesmorizing? I hope she’s watching out for cars out her window, it would be a shame for that gorgeous mane to get matted in blood. Or maybe she’s taking that beautiful room on tour to show the world what serenity looks like.


designer highlight: gorgeous tree-hugging handbags by Raw Bags

look at me, another handbag post! in my numerous, unfettered searches for fabulousness, i began to notice these amazing bamboo and recycled newspaper handbags by Raw Bags. the bamboo bags are being offered at stupidly awesome prices (10% off and free shipping), they are so rich, artful and earth-friendly as well. and, OMG, i totally heart the earth! the earth is my favorite.
amazingly, the recycled newspaper bags are way more expensive than the bamboo ones, so i won’t be featuring those. although they’re really cute, i don’t heart the earth enough to carry woven garbage around and pay $90 for the privilege. madness.
anyway, these beauties are probably not the most comfortable thing to wear, but pshaw, i’d be happy to bend over and take one for these lovely objets d’art!

matchstick bag
bamboo matchstick bag $39.60
sorta reminds me of a glorified sushi mat, this can be converted to an over-sized clutch.

black bamboo cube handbag
black bamboo cube handbag $50.40
tres chic! also comes in natural bamboo color.

bamboowallet
bamboo wallet $10.80
this is more like a coin purse than a wallet, but super cute.

bamboo cube clutch

i adore this! it also comes in black, tan and green

thrift stars! (my pix from wardrobe remix)

candy stripes and pin stripes!
stripes suspenders
i never would have thought of this combo, but it’s perfect on her.
stripey tee
don’t look so glum! you’re a young and in technicolor!
kitten tee and striped skinnies
neon kittens are hip??? i believe.

loose and floaty cropped shortish-sleeved blousey thingies used for layering!

layered jumpers!
4th of july romper
could her hair be any cuter?? seriously about to start puking up bunny rabbits.
jumper
who knew an old grampa v-neck could look so hot? i want her hair.
glasses and stripes
super sweet! i need some white raybans.
striped apron jumper
this girl is so striking, it took me a while to notice the wicked wheels behind her. love the white jazz shoes.
jumper
this girl knows how to properly rock a jumper.

dresses, dresses, dresses!

thrift store dress and ankle boots
the accessories are making me swoon: glasses, necklace, boots, clutch!
dress
this dress is amazing!
dress layered over skirt
great way to lengthen a too short mini-dress- wear it over a circle skirt!
white sundress
once again, the accessories make the outfit. i love the opaque tights with the sandals.


short, short shorts!
sailor shorts high waist
these shorts look a lot like my sailor shorts, but mine have loads more buttons. i have to undo a minimum of 10 buttons to get them off. therefore? i can never wear them to a bar. and just so you know? oversize cardi’s are an absolute MUST. i wear mine constantly.
short shorts
these shorts are killing me. gigantic patch pockets to put the world in!
adorable
ok seriously, stop being so damn adorable.

wacky prints and polka dots!
mixed prints and yellow flats
how many times have i seen that exact sweater in a thrift store and didn’t look twice? so cute.

adorable couple
ok, NOW i’m puking up bunny rabbits. i want to put them both in my gigantic patch pockets and take them home with me.

Etsy for Tree Lovers

I saw The Fountain again the other day and I was reminded about how amazing trees are! Trees are in nearly every creation story, every religion and every psychedelic experience. They represent a metaphor for life and eternity. And since my name is Eve, it seems appropriate that clothes with trees on them have always tempted me.
