    July 24, 2010

    So this doesn’t have a proper video but I was introduced to this song recently and really wanted to share it’s trippy vibes with you. I love imagining Greek women in the ’60s grooving to this in their poly maxi dresses and leather sandals.

    Music for Lovers and Friends

    I really wanted to post this Kym Mazelle song, but there is no vid, so instead, check out Jody Wately’s intense intense egyptian goddess matador dominatrix crazy Frida eyebrows look.

    Music for Lovers: En Vogue

    May 25, 2010

    Guys, I just need to find an event to wear something like this too…I love the showgirl/girl group/dom vibe. I might just buy a BumpIt now.

    Music for Lovers: Dum Dum Girls

    May 13, 2010

    Feeling the stripes, the leather, the white and the black:

    Music for Lovers: We Will Provide

    April 30, 2010

    My fave song off their debut, plus a little bit of history with vintage crush Brad Renfro (RIP) thrown in. This summer style is for real (that TSHIRT DRESS!!):

    p.s. Pharrell at his best

    Music for Lovers: Spring Love

    April 14, 2010

    Um totally feeling this amazing tune from an old friend, encapsulating spring whims and colors and textures.  I want to take a picnic with this song!

    Music for Lovers: Cry Me a River

    March 16, 2010

    I want to spend every evening chilling like a glamorous vixen in a chaise longue.

    Music for Lovers: Ball and Chain

    January 7, 2010

    What I am into right now, which might seem incongruous:
    (this song + these outfits= best mashup?)

    (the serious serious androgynous looks in this video)

    Music for Lovers: Cry

    December 8, 2009

    The 80s hair is so crucial in this video that I had to post it. Thanks to Ally, I am now OBSESSED with this song. It SPEAKS to me.

    Music for Lovers: Washed Out

    November 17, 2009

    Why am I already thinking of tropic getaways? Winter hasn’t even started. This song is getting me through the months until I am able to get away to PR. SO CHILL.

    We were so happy to see Múm on stage last week and even more thrilled to see the 60s gold booties from Treasury in action! Behold the mythical shoes…

    Music for Lovers: Joan

    October 8, 2009

    I want that hair!

    Music for Lovers: Love My Way

    September 1, 2009

    Men! Pay attention! High waist! Shoulder pads! Shrunken blazers! It’s not just for women any more!!

    Music for Lovers: Gary Gilmore’s Eyes

    August 25, 2009

    So even though this punk classic was filmed on Top of the Pops in the ’70s, the look is so au courant that it hurts my eyes (hehe). The moto jacket, the angular sunglasses, even their hair is straight out of my Fall inspiration pile, seriously so Raf Simons.

    Music for Lovers: Hurt So Good

    August 12, 2009

    Ignore for a minute the fact that Susan Cadogan seems to be a mile away from the microphone and hone in her awesome bustier jumpsuit, beautiful hair and fanciful earrings. Plus this song is perfect for summer.

    Pow Wow Wow

    Give your workday a little boost by checking out this Podcast by our lovely dj friends Sara and Kim, also known as Pow Wow, and my friend Adam (who sends his love from L.A.). Sara loves lizards and Pow Wow always spins a great selection of rock ‘n roll! They host dj nights regularly at [...]

    Music for Lovers: Aaron Broomfield

    July 29, 2009

    Our friends Beautiful Swimmers rocked some Aaron Broomfield at our opening party and we’ve been hooked since. The copper leggings, the pretty much shirtless cowbell player in the back with blue pants and the all-out tux are really doing it for us.

    Music for Lovers: Fleet Foxes

    July 23, 2009

    This might be more relevant for fall fashion (dropping in stores soon though), but I couldn’t resist the animals in the video.  Also, we’d like to see more men in vests for evening looks.

    Music for Lovers: Trouble

    July 15, 2009

    Yes, I own this album on CD and LP, is that a crime? Monochromatic looks for the menz for summer is a must.

    Music for Lovers: MJ 4 EVA

    July 2, 2009

    I didn’t want to bring up Michael because the tragedy was too much…an immensely talented genius on so many levels destroyed by his own obsessions fueled by our obsessions…brings tears to my eyes. But I’ve had this video bookmarked for a while so I guess now is as good a time to share it as [...]

    Music for Lovers: Hold On

    June 16, 2009

    Why is this so awesome?

    This is my go-to look for summer beach vacay…twilight on the sand with ripped jeans, sundresses with boots and the crucial odd hat.
    Work that power blazer, ladies!
