Palm Springs: Vintage Furniture Shopping

Posted on 2.22.12 by Leah

Last weekend, Meg and I took a much needed day trip out of town to scour the endless vintage furniture shops in the Palm Springs area. We stumbled upon the holy grail of antiques and collectibles at Victoria’s Attic. Lucite furnishings & 1960s decor galore, we were in interior decorating heaven!

Striped Nails: DIY Style

Posted on 2.21.12 by Meg

What you’ll need:
2 Nail Polishes (for white I like to use a french manicure bottle since it’s the most opaque)
Top Coat
Masking Tape
Small Scissors
TIME!! < --- You need enough time for the coats to dry in between taping, if not the color will smudge peel off when you remove the tape!

Start off by painting your nails 1 solid color, preferably the lighter of the shades, wait for them to COMPLETELY dry. Next add your tape in any direction you want the stripes to go, I like to precut enough pieces for all nails so I don't have to stop and cut. Press down on the tape, especially around the edges so polish doesn't bleed onto the lighter color. When painting the color over the tape, make sure to use a lot of paint so your lines look clean and solid. Again, let this COMPLETELY dry before trying to peel off the tape, I leave about a half hour in between processes. After you peel the strips off, carefully apply top coat, sit back and admire your work! :)

If you decide to try this, send us pics of your custom looks we'd love to see!

Vivienne Westwood Red Label: FW12 RTW

Posted on 2.20.12 by Leah

This week the styling of the f/w 12 Vivienne Westwood Red Label show was toned down in comparison to past seasons, but more than anything it was a simple yet effective display of the clothing itself. The mother of English fashion gave us signature Red Label looks in a relevant & wearable context. Loving the menswear inspired tweeds, crisp plaids, and reminder that the right fedora can still be a chic accessory.

1960′s and 70′s Interiors

Posted on 2.17.12 by Meg

I have the itch to find a new place to call home but unfortunately the search for just that in Los Angeles can be a bit of a task. In the mean time I’ve been dusting off my old interior design books, magazines, and even fantasy shopping with the thought of creating a fresh look and feel to a new home keeping me motivated. Check out these interiors I came across, there is some seriousness going on here! So amazing. If you want to see more awesome mid century interiors, check out our previous post here.

Houston Rap: Photography x Peter Beste

Posted on 2.16.12 by Leah

New York documentary photographer Peter Beste has been some places & seen some things… from Norway’s Black Metal scene to the down n’ dirty Texas lifestyle documented in his gritty “Houston Rap” + “After Hours” photo series. A raw and authentic glimpse into the roots of H-town rap culture. In true photojournalist form, his choice of subject matter is often lurid, and tells a tale some would prefer stay untold. Look out for the hard-cover book to be released this year, & make sure to check out more Peter Beste Photography.

Fantasy x Frank Frazetta

Posted on 2.15.12 by Meg

There’s no doubt about it, Leah and I LOVE fantasy art. Having previously posted on one of our favorite sci-fi fantasy artists Boris Vallejo, here is yet another legend’s work to admire, Frank Frazetta! Being that Frank was the artist behind the original detailed renderings of characters like Conan the Barbarian and John Carter from Mars, he worked with the likes of Quentin Tarantino and most recently Robert Rodriguez on his upcoming movie “John Carter” due out in March of this year. Unfortunately Mr. Frazetta passed away in 2010 at the age of 82, but he leaves behind an amazing library of work for people to enjoy for years to come.

Heart Accessory Must Haves

Posted on 2.14.12 by Leah

Hearts aren’t only for V-day! These heart accessories make a fun style statement on any day. We’ve tracked down a few of our favorites. A is for Aresnic makes a rad spiked necklace named the “Serial Heartbreaker”, handmade & ships from London. Vintage Moschino is something I drool over on a regular basis, and the good pieces are hard to come by. Etsy has the Moschino heart purse featured below for $325. If that’s a little high for your budget, try the super cute Fredericks of Hollywood Quilted Heart Tote for only $25! Megan scored hers already.
