shred

I want a shredded tee so badly. My friend Lizzie started making one and she said it's taking ages but she promised to hand it over to me once she's done all the hard work. Maybe it's extra cool and breezy for summer, ya know, cause of all the holes? ; ) Source: Cocorosa.

backyardigan

It's 28 degrees celsius and I'm sitting on the six floor of a stinky, sweaty, ugly library. I wish I was outside. I complain a lot but I mean it this time, forreal. I spent the majority of my weekend laying in the park and sacrificed tons of studying time but today I really do need the vitamin D. Source: Wildfox.

chained up

I haven't done a jewelry post in a while and I luckily I came across these chain rings last night after my 11 hour library session. Whoever had these would surely be the coolest kid on the block. Source: Litter.

sweed

The inspirational Lykke Li in the May 2009 issue of Swedish Elle. The music scene needs more talent and persona like her. Plus, she's so well-styled in these photos, I can't handle it. Take a look at her shoes from Acne Fall 09 collection in the last picture. I'd give up my firstborn for those boots. Source: Fashion Squad.

birds, branches and butterflies

Tanya Dziahileva in an editorial for Mixte magazine, which incorporates illustrations by Gustaf von Arbin with Carlotta Manaigo's photography. It's an ingenious mix of fantasy and reality. Very feminine, whimsical, airy, and most importantly very spring. The photos have a positive feel, which is different from the dark and edgy editorials I'm usually drawn to. Source: Models.com.

combo number 1, please

J Brand acid wash ripped jeans and a pretty great Steve Madden knockoff of the Alexander Wang "Brenda Bag". It's about 600 dollars cheaper than the Wang bag. I wanna rock white on white this summer. It's a never been done before thing for me.

skinny boys

From the editorial "Glamorama : the life of a boy model" from the British mag Arena Homme + shot by Alasdair McLennan. The hotties are Luke Worrall, Ash Stymest, Josh Beech, George Barnett and Cole Mohr.

Why is it that female fashion models seem to get all the attention?

Aldo Stolinksi Heel. My roommate has these babies. Me and the dude working there convinced her to buy them. I wish we had the same size feet so I could borrow them... but we don't. :( Source: Aldo.

? Don't know where I got this vintage thang ?

I'm sure you've seen WhoWhatWear's post on cutout dresses. Fab. I'm in love and have added some pieces of my own. Today's tight-fitting cutout dresses remind me of body-conscious dresses of the eighties. I think I'm going to try and slit a pair of plain black leggings like the American Apparel ones and see how it turns out.

Daria Werbowy sports denim, cowboy boots, leopard print and a willing (?) victim, in an editorial shot by the Dutch photography duo Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Mata for Vogue Paris May 2009. Kick-ass or what? Source: Fashion Squad.

rehab-chic

The industry has been glamourizing rehab and addiction for years but this Vogue Italia July 2007 editorial, "Supermodels Enter Rehab" is just genius. Everything and anything can be made beautiful with a great team ; ).
Kinda makes me wanna hit up rehab this summer and smoke unlimited cigarettes and coffee!

I ♥ her shirt... the bleach, the pockets, the fit, all of it. I'm totally feeling unconventional denim lately. Jean jackets, vests & shirts... everything but jeans for the hot summer that's on the horizon. Source: Garance Doré.

stylewatch: giovanna battaglia

Giovanna Battaglia is the Fashion editor of L'Uomo Vogue (Italian Men's version). I've realized that some people just have an innate aura of classic style ... something I don't think I will never have. She's so timeless & ageless, but not at all boring. I like lists so here's what I came up with for Battaglia's take on classic Italian style:

• textures
• animal prints
  
• middle part
• hair pulled back
• little or no make-up
• knee-high boots
• turtle necks
• silk scarves
• menswear-inspired trousers
• black tights
• tortoise shell sunglasses
