to the end of the world...

You and I, we're not tied to the ground
Not falling but rising like rolling around
Eyes closed above the rooftops
Eyes closed, we're gonna spin through the stars
Our arms wide as the sky
We gonna ride the blue all the way to the end of the world
To the end of the world

Oh, and when the kids are old enough
We're gonna teach them to fly... 

Music, always bringing people from all walks of life together - moving, inspiring, connecting them.  Such a fan of DMB and totally loving the video for this song, "You and Me", off their newest album, Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King.   Check out the video HERE.

Graffi-Couture

Featured in the November issue of Vogue Paris, photographed by Mario Sorrenti and styled by the "so effortlessly stylish it hurts", Emmanuelle Alt (such a fan!), the Graffi-Couture editorial is a visual pleasure!  Dig the juxtoposition of a classic beauty, like Zimmerman, clothed in bold futuristic pieces, against layers of graphic graffiti. 

Love this last shot!  I'm so over blond starlets straight up imitating Marilyn - same here, same make-up, same poses.  Not an ounce of originality. But this shot channels Monroe's sensuality and grace, with a fresh, modern take and I think its beautiful.

3) Kate's a breath of fresh air - she was rockin denim vests & spikes before rock'n'roll chic became a trend.

4) She sports black...A LOT - but mixes it up with texture, proportion & amazing accessories (yes, that's Kate in the beloved Burberry Prorsum boots!)

Interesting. So then the question still stands: Are we a product of our environment or is it the other way around?

Balenciaga-sm!

Loved Balenciaga's Spring 2010 collection! Loved the faux-denim (they're actually leather!) skinnys. Loved the leather hoodies. Loved the geometric colorblocks. Mod, but modern. Edgy (of course), but sophisticated. Feminine, but with hints of that androgyny I love so very much. Well done, Ghesquiere.

denim : leather :: pb:j

PB&J, oreos & milk, jeans & a tee...classic combinations that have withstood the test of time. Think its about time to add denim & leather to that list. From the rugged Western days of ruddy denim shirts and leather chaps, to today's modern spin-a fitted denim button down and ultra-sexy leather skinnys-its a mix that is simulatneously traditional, edgy, and fuckin fantastic.

Case in point, this insane Alexander Wang moto jacket:

I'll be holding out for Volcom's version, at $80, though because...you know, I still need to eat.
