cigarette-stained lies / james dean glossy eyes

lady gaga. her theatrics, her bisexuality, her masculinity. she is the 21st century's madonna & david bowie, all rolled up into a petite, blonde, latex package. some say she's a man. she says she is not. but gaga has admitted to having a fascination with androgeny - perhaps so much that it provoked her to cross dress - as alter ego "jo calderon" in next month's vogue hommes japan?

hanneli gives the fanny-pack a youthful makeover

 her dress is light and feminine, and her edgy sneakers offer the perfect contrast. the fanny-pack? well, it's not neon. and it's dainty. hanneli can do no wrong.

miley loves jeffrey campbell

miley "can't be tamed" cyrus is all grown up, and her style has evolved into something very likeable. in fact, i'm finding myself envious of the outfits miss montana has put together recently.  spotted wearing these jeffrey campbell "charli c" clogs on numerous occasions (as seen in prior posts), cyrus proves she can put together mature outfits that suit her body type.

louis vuitton tatties

marc jacobs brought in artist scott campbell for louis v's ss '11 menswear show, inking the models with the signature LV monogram - more specifically, a NECK sleeve.   these tats are 100% more hardcore than the delicate chanel fakies that debuted in January, but are they wearable and/or reasonable?

mark fast for topshop

canadian designer mark fast has collaborated on a knit-wear line with topshop, available friday (don't forget - topshop is delivering to canadaland now). 

“knits have a more intimate relationship with the wearer than tailoring or corsetry. the garment takes on the shape of the person inside it, and the finished look is always a collaboration between the two.” – claudia croft on mark fast, sunday times style, 11th october 2009

continuing the military trend...

it seems that the j brand houlihan is a recent celebrity staple.  here are some stars wearing the cargo skinnies. my favorite has to be jessica alba, pictured in a simple white tee and beige denim vest. these pants are so flattering!

sort of disappointed. kind of love it, kind of hate it.

cropped top bop

welcome to the 80's... crop tops are back in style! never say never. here are just a few suggestions to inspire your summer wardrobe.. that is, if your tummy allows it. topshop has an endless amount of cropped shirts, and now that they deliver to canada, take advantage and go nuts! i also found a few on shopbop, but posted my favorite by

 porter grey - whimsical but sexy at the same time.

TREND ALERT: sporty bathing suits

zimmerman jersey knot bikini

tyr sport "wipeout" reversible bikini

lisa marie fernandez neoprene bikini

vpl knot bikini

splendid mini stripe bikini

finally, a trend that is putting comfort and bathing suits in the same category. i love these looks found on net-a-porter, nordstrom online & shopbop... but sporty bathers are easy to find at your local swimsuit boutique.  get the look by picking suits made of neoprene, or choosing simple suits that fit snugly & comfortably (avoid indecent exposure while out rocking your bod on the water this summer).

rumi 4 rvca

rumi neely's line for rvca is finally out and available here. love the machinery dress, and it's a steal for only $62.  while you're on the site, check out erin wasson x rvca spring '10.

ps. does anyone know where i can get some seeds to plant a money tree?

i think i'll wear miu miu's next time i go tanning... makes for some wicked tan lines.

just announced today...

target will be collaborating with the english luxury company, mulberry, offering a limited edition leather accessories collection. the designer behind the famed "alexa" bag (after the wildly popular alexa chung) will be featured in creating the target line. not sure what to expect but some great things have come out of target collaborations in the past.
