Catstalker

If you have a huge crush on Topher Grace, you should probably go to the Ralph Lauren Rugby store on 12th St. and University Place right-this-second to watch him try on jeans and popped collar shirts with little skulls on them. Dreamy.

Me Talk Pretty One Day

Doutzen Kroes doesn’t just model for fashion, she also models for public service announcements. Starting next week, she will appear in a series of ad campaigns from her home county of Tytsjerksteradiel in the Dutch province of Friesland, encouraging other Frisians like herself to “Praat Mar Frysk!”— As in, “Just Speak Frisian,” not Dutch. If [...]

Como Se Dice?

Last week, Natalie kept saying “Dootzen” for “Doutzen Kroes,” and admitted that while interning at Vogue, she called Hamish Bowles “Ham-ish” to his face.

Today’s Lesson: Proenza Schouler is Pro-en-za Shoo-ler Ann Demeulemeester is Ann Deh-myoo-leh-meese-ter Leighton Meester is Lay-ton Meese-ter [...]

These unexpected combinations are always a hit, but there’s one more layering tactic we love that a lot of [...]

Skateboarding is Not a Crime

We’re glad someone has finally found a good use for old skateboards. If you’ve grown out of your “skate or die” days, and you’re more interested in Repetto flats than Airwalks, then you might appreciate the genius of Kris Lovett. Lovett, a University of Arts grad, had the vision to recycle used skateboards into cute [...]

Adventures in Copyrights: The Bust of Times

We felt insanely cool for scoring a Proenza Schouler corset at a thrift shop this summer, but apparently, we weren’t that special: Forever 21 also scored a Proenza Schouler corset, just like the ones Jack and Lazaro made for Target in February. They switched a color from white to black, added a little more room [...]

Oxidize This

Remember learning about chemical reactions in your high school chemistry class? And the awesome safety goggles you got to wear in case your lab partner sprayed sulfur in your eyes? In case you need a little refresher course, Etsy seller Ikyoto has created a line of chemical reaction t-shirts. The Brooklyn-based artist pulled from vintage [...]
