Though I missed her one year anniversary party for the Robertson store (I was shooting late that evening), I managed to catch up over tea with the lovely stylish Monika Chiang last week while she was here in LA. Love these boots and rad wedge sneakers she did for this season. I like her whole preppy punk aesthetic, which is right up my alley… Continue reading
Though there are A LOT of Pixies covers to be found (the Pixies are pretty brilliant, can’t argue with fact and blame anyone for wanting to live and breathe their music…) this one from Sunday Girl really stands out. Just discovered it thanks to an episode of The Good Wife. Can’t stop listening…
Who doesn’t want to be this couple? Or at least the girl? No wonder Burberry‘s profits are up a gazillion percent every year. Beautiful stuff every season. Pre fall 2013 above.

Sundance released the final list of films today for 2013 in the feature and documentary premiers category and it looks AMAZING. I spent yesterday reading The Typewriter is Holy by Ben Morgan cover to cover so am knee deep in nostalgia over The Beat Generation and excited to see Big Sur (the second Beat focused film in this year’s festival). Written and directed by Michael Polish, it is based on Jack Kerouac’s book about trying to cope with his sudden fame and serious alcoholism (which led to his eventual death at age 47) by spending time in a log cabin at Big Sur. It stars Jean-Marc Barr, Kate Bosworth, Josh Lucas, Radha Mitchell, Anthony Edwards, and Henry Thomas. Continue reading
