"Fear and Loathing"

That's So New YorkNo matter how hard I try, music always seems to snatch itself a mention in the majority of my posts, yet I'm afraid that I cannot complain when it is the music of Marina Diamandis (Marina and the Diamonds). Marina has recently developed an alter-ego; that of which she has named Electra Heart, which brings me onto my next point. I will admit that I seem to check back to Marina's official blog daily; you wouldn't be able to reenact the minor flip-out which occurred when Marina

Return from Paradise

It’s been a while since my last entry but I’ve been very busy in my job and needed a break from the whole fashion circus. So I packed my bags and spent some time on the beautiful island of Jamaica. Far beyond the areas of mass tourism I stayed at the incredibly beautiful ‘Villa Yamaye’,which is  located in   Boston,Portland and -lucky me- run by a friend of mine.

This extraordinary villa is influenced by circles merging into one another, you won’t find any disturbing corners and angles....

Imitation Is Not So Flattering

They used to say "imitation is the highest form of flattery." Apparently not anymore. Rihanna is being sued for her latest music video "S&M" by famed photographer David LaChapelle. Imitation or paying homage has always been around, but it is especially prevalent in today's pop music scene. Everyone has said that Lady Gaga's new single "Born This Way" sounds a lot like Madonna, which they say about every video or single she releases. "Everyone is copying Madonna!" Yes, because she wa

Download My Latest "Dark Angeles Mix" ;-)

Celebrating the 5-Year Anniversary of Runway Boutique, one of Los Angeles' most hidden gems in vintage fashion, I came up with this 'Dark Angeles Mix' that blends rare organic grooves, electro-soul, funky indie, hip-hop and infectious house soundscapes bringing fashionistas together who're looking for that right color and perfect knit.

Would be Good? Vintage Goodwood.

Tomorrow something truly'spesh' is happening (Aug 14-16) Take all that’s amazing about the UK and become a vintage vulture; devour retro-fashions, pick the flesh off a pop-art archive and greedily tear at nostalgic cinema until you are fat and bloated with cultural overload. Then indulge in all things thrifty, sustainable and eco. Place all this in a giant, wet, green field in the countryside of West Sussex and you have the exquisite ‘Vintage at Goodwood’ weekend.

This event will be a triple tequ

The business mag uses a calculus that gives extra weight to pay with Gaga at #4, Madge at #10, SJP at #70, Gisele at #85, Heidi at #86, and Kate at #91. Of course, they also put Kristen Stewart at #61, Chelsea Handler at #98, and a freaking ventriloquist at #93, so you should probably take this with a certain lack of seriousness. Obviously they did. A ventriloquist? Really, guys. [Forbes]

Virtual Fashion Gifts for the Last Minute Shopper

hero20090909Yeap. It’s December 23rd and I haven’t done any Christmas shopping yet. Honestly, as much as I love shopping, I refuse to enter any mall or store or boutique because of the chaos. I also refuse to order online and have something shipped. At this stage in the game, shipping will probably costs more than the gift, plus, it definitely won’t get there in time.

So what to do? Your girlfriend, wife, best friend, sister, aunt or whoever is really into fashion and you haven’t gotten them anything yet? Ho
