Taryn Manning, Recent Looks… Blazers, Dresses and Skulls

As usual, I’ve been having a blast styling Taryn Manning. She and I both have a passion for clothes and playing dress up. During Oscars weekend, which now feels ages ago, we went to a bunch of events including Clare Rojas‘ gallery opening at Prism followed by the Rolling Stone magazine party, to which Taryn wore the girly lace BCBG Max Azria dress and blazer above with a vintage Valerj Pobega skull necklace to give it some edge, a studded CC Skye clutch and of course the Celeste Stein socks and Brian Atwood heels which caused such a ruckus. She also wore a Kathy Kemp trench coat over all of it that I am obsessed with (I love this photo of the two of us too). Continue reading

The Submarines’ New Album


The Submarines – Fire by nettwerkmusicgroup
One of my favorite west coast bands, The Submarines, have a new album coming out next week on April 5th from Nettwerk Records. “Love Notes/Letter Bombs” is their third album and even better than the last. I got obsessed with John Dragonetti and Blake Hazard’s love story, which is essentially the history of the band as well. By now it is legendary that they broke up after the release of their first album and found themselves writing songs about the other. They got back together and recorded their second album (see below, my favorite track “Me You And The Bourgeoisie”) was a hit. And then they got married. Done. That’s the way you do it. I was mid-awful break up when I found Continue reading

Men

Released February 1st, “Talk About Body” is the debut album from the Brooklyn-based band MEN, a new project from Le Tigre’s JD Samson, Ladybug Transistor’s Michael O’Neill and Ginger Brooks Takahashi. I saw them play at the Echoplex last night and they blew me away. The sound is a bit Electropop dance mixed with 80’s synth and punk. I’ve loved Bikini Kill and Le Tigre for years and it was nice to sit in that time machine a little last night. I’m obsessed with the uninterrupted one-minute long shot in the opening of the video. Such a simple concept and done beautifully.

Clinique


Clinique‘s products were some of the first ones I ever used when I was in high school and they still hold a special place in my heart (and on my beauty shelf). They’ve got some great new products for Spring that hit stores in April like the Pore Refining Solutions Correcting Serum which promises to make skin appear nearly poreless within two weeks. Beauty product release are some of my favorite things to read because they make anything in the world seem possible. It’s a beautiful thing…
