Let me preface: It's really hard for me to appreciate the work of someone who holds a prejudice towards a particular group of people. Kicked out of the House of Dior because of an abominable antisemitic tirade, and shunned from the fashion community as a whole, John Galliano has entered the fashion world as the creative director for Maison Martin Margiela. Before this drunken night of racist, ignora[...]

Aya Sato and Bambi: Style That Slays

12/18/2014

Inspiration

You've probably seen that video of those two ladies voguging/tutting and essentially blowing up the collective minds of the planet. If not see video below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDPFVKGXFo8 These two are not just dream dance partners, they are real life partners as well! Not too long ago the couple announced their engagement--tell me that's not the cutest shit you've ever heard, TELL ME[...]

Must-Read Comix Pt. 1

11/22/2013

Stuff I'm loving

I recently got into the works of Michigan-based Megan comix writer: Rose Gedris, aka Rosalarian. Not only is she a woman in comics, she's also a multi-talented performer and openly queer!! Some of her ridiculously relatable and lolzy comics include Meaty Yogurt, Lesbians from Outerspace, and Eat Me--I should note that many of these are NSFW. I would love to take a vacation into the mind of Yumi[...]

5 Swoon-Worthy Pieces from Alice + Olivia

11/08/2013

Stuff I'm loving

Damn. I say that because Alice + Olivia clothes are pretty much perfect to me: their silhouettes are classic, while being modern and flattering at the same time. You probably know I love black lace smathered on everything, I swear it's not the only reason I dig this brand. BRB, gonna cry now.[...]

Hero Worship: 1950s London Teddy Girls

10/18/2013

Inspiration

Teddy boys, you might have heard of them: a 50s subculture in London where young men would dress like Edwardian dandy meets American rock n' roller. This was pretty big across the pond, but didn't share the same fate in America. The lesser known Teddy girls were definitely not as prevalent in the British media, until photographer Ken Russell was introduced to one of London's girl gangs. These were work[...]

Liz’s List of Best Straightening Products

10/10/2013

Beauty

Ok, before we begin, I just want to say that I am in no way an expert, and not jocking any brand--this is all personal experience from someone with brush-breakingly thick curly hair who often wants the opposite type hair. I definitely do not flat iron that much these days, and when I do I make that ish last for DAYS. So here it is, the best straightening products, thus far: This is[...]

Stuff I’m Loving October 6-12

10/08/2013

Stuff I'm loving

Ahava Witch Hazel Hand Cream Witch hazel (which I often use as a toner) does not smell nearly as good as this stuff. This natural hand cream boasts no parabens or pthalate in it, so you won't feel like you're slathering on scented uranium. Warning: the smell is addicting, and people may think you are a crazy person. No Joy's Wait to Pleasure While I wasn't immediately hooked on[...]

Hey! I Can Afford That: Phillip Lim for Target

08/13/2013

Collections

As much as I enjoy designers who go crazy and turn a bowl full of chiffon and stale cookies into a masterpiece: sometimes less is more. Phillip Lim is one of those masters of the minimal. It's a simpler look; clean, but till fun at the same time. The dressy/casual looks are now coming to a store near you, Phillip Lim for Target will be released on September 15 ranging from $19.99 to $299.99 a piece. He[...]

Beauty, Celebrities, Collections

The highly anticipated Marc Jacobs makeup line was released today at Sephora! The fashion designer released 122 different products from foundation to nail polish and "boy tested, girl approved" products marketed to both sexes. Sephora did a product preview in late July and ended up selling out of all the Marc Jacobs products in a matter of hours. Jacobs is not a fan of subdued, natural colors, so[...]
