bread 'n butter

I was on an internet shoe hunt last night and I didn't find what I was looking for. Anyone know where I can get some all beige Van's Authentics? None of this beige with a black stripe shit...

Anyway, my search led me to this video. I can't seem to figure out who the artist or artists responsible are. Anyone know?

Listen, everyone: The Sartorialist is awesome. My theory is that most people fall in one of three camps - you either love the sartorialist because you like to look at other people's cool clothes, you hate the sartorialist because you're either too deep for fashion or you're too hip to be taking fashion advice from some old dude, or camp three --- "what's a sartorialist?"

Love it or hate it, right now you should be checking it out. The Sartorialist is currently running a vintage photo contest and it is a-maz-ing. The best part is that, unlike most other vintage photos you can find on the internet, these come with explanations by the people who submit them. So you get a little back story with your vintage photo fix. How's that for thorough, eh? Enjoy!

One day, about 20 years from now, someone will post a video on YouTube, or whatever the future equivalent of YouTube will be, and it may well be YOU dancing enthusiastically to a Chromeo song in whatever clothes you feel are totally IN right now, but will be hilariously outdated in 2030. Don't be afraid. That's just the way it is.

At about 1:15, there is a guy with denim overalls wearing one strap unclasped. I used to dress like that in 1991.

So i'm pretty obsessed with this track "i go away" by MNDR, but all i can find online is a 1.5 minute clip that's used in this lookbook video from ISAORA. i'm keeping my ears peeled for the full version... trust that you should do the same. i'm gonna go out on a limb to second Ms. Sheena Beaston's prediction and say: i think she is gonna be one of the biggest acts out of brooklyn this year.

In the mean while, have i mentioned that Amanda is absolutely ADORKABLE? And pretty much an all-around smarty-pants. Video evidence HERE + 2 tracks after the jump.

UPDATE: FOUND IT! Thanks BV.com.
MNDR - i go away.

This song's been all up in my earface since Flax's remix last year - now Sia recorded her own version. Let the dance party resume. MPFree Here!

Also, anybody know where I can get that "death" sweater from about 1:10 into the video?? I absolutely need to have that in my life, stat. kthanks!

why are dude shoes way cooler?!? why.

it's that time of year where the shoes i wear everyday have become two to three shades darker than when i first purchased them and have created their own ventilating system. and now i'm slowly weening myself off in preparation for a new everyday pair. i always search for the same thing; a men's style with a feminine fit. luckily, i got my daily fix of refinery29 and found my dream shoes! oxfords that fit me!!

last year, from murakami bejeweled jesus pieces, to kaws covered LPs, to hirst skulls in video stills, hip hop rocked the art world and had artists and musicians alike chanting "art is the new bling". but there is one artist in particular whose bypassed bling deserves a little center-stage lime-light. kali arulpragasam, founder of the british based jewelery design company super fertile has garnished notable attention with her 5 collections, in the UK and US alike, but its' her newest (and 6th) collection, for spring 2009, that has finally caught the eye of several new york stockists that will soon be selling her jewelry state-side.



if the name kali arulpragasam is striking a cord for you, that's because you might be a little more familiar with her little sister, political hip hop artist and style icon, M.I.A.. and like her sister, kali shares M.I.A.'s fervent political consciousness. with collections entitled: tourism, endangered species, rich girl vs poor girl, jungle birds, and her newest hunger, kali's bling is heavily influenced by the social realism of environments and nations at war. as well, kali's pieces aren't your bff's summer-camp friendship bracelets. each piece of jewelery from super fertile is delicately hand crafted from precious metals.




take a minute and check out her site, www.superfertile.com to see all six of her collections. my favorites are the newest necklaces/breast plates in the hunger collection, the endangered species rings and knuckle dusters, and the jungle birds necklaces. and next season, when all the magazines are featuring her pieces in editorials, you'll know where they came from.

tavi is 12 and she writes an awesome fashion blog called style rookie. fyi, she's no rookie, shes just awesome. and that was her "wrap" on her recent middle-school-skipping day at H&M, to pickup shwag by comme des garcons designer, rei kawakubo.

ps. fuck you peaches geldorf and your craptastic "listicle" nylon blog column word-vomit - you've got nothing on tavi.
