Pre-Raphaelite dressing

I mentioned the Pre-Raphaelite style in my Charles Anastase post, so I thought I'd post some examples here. I miss posting art to my blog, so I'm going to try doing that more often.

 Edward Burne-Jones, The Princess Sabra Led to the Dragon

 Edward Burne-Jones, The Golden Stairs

 John Everett Millais, The Return of the Dove to the Ark

William Holman Hunt, Amaryllis

Looking at London

I'm feeling a bit nostalgic tonight... maybe it's because I'm watching An Education and looking at pictures of The Hoxton via PinkBow? Anyway, I miss London so much. I really, really do.

Photo and stupid editing by me.

Kate Moss and Topshop

As if I remember reading that this would be her last collab with Topshop... Click here to watch the video and see a sneak peek of a few pieces (and cute music from She & Him, I believe) from the collection, which launches November 2.

2NE1 - Follow Me

This video is pretty darn cool! It came out a few months ago, but I just saw it for the first time today. Apparently this group is going to try to make a U.S. debut...

Anyway, the reason I'm posting this is because 1. It has some funny moments (Darth Vader in the house!) 2. The song's catchy, if you like pop 3. Their makeup is pretty cool, and 4. They're wearing some dope outfits, including some stuff we'd all recognize!

Check it out, and I hope you enjoy!



P.S. I'm thinking of doing a regular feature, like "Music Monday" or something, where I post a song I've been listening to a lot lately or whatever, and maybe include an outfit inspired by the song music, lyrics or artist. I'd also take requests. What do you think?

Ellie Goulding, love her to pieces.

Love this song. And she's wearing Holly Fulton!!

Random music post -- Ellie Goulding

Here's a little video for you... Enjoy!

So I'm a little late, but...

First music post in a while, I think.

"Bulletproof" by La Roux. I've had this song on repeat for ages. Enjoy!



P.S. Did you spot the designer clothing? ;)

De*Nada

I was recently contacted by designer Virginia Blanca Arrisueño about her line, De*Nada.
Virginia got her BFA at the University of Maryland (Go Terps!), and she's received many awards for her talent and skill, both creative and technical, including the Sadat Art for Peace Award -- delivered to her by Nelson Mandela!



Though she initially started out selling handbags and t-shirts, the collection grew to the scarves, gloves and hats that we can see now on her site and in stores.



She gets her inspiration from her Peruvian heritage and combines that with contemporary, timely styles to create a truly unique experience. To be honest, I was truly excited by what I saw on the site -- ingenious designs. As a scarf collector, I was in heaven! My favorites are the eternal roped, eternal knit and challah braid scarves. I can only imagine how warm and cosy they'd be come winter (which isn't too far away for us).


The newest collection is going to be on sale online very soon, so keep an eye out for De*Nada!

Photos from De*Nada website. Aren't they awesome?

We sure do love our surrealists in this household...

While browsing through Paper Mode's archives, I stumbled across a Magritte-inspired editorial. I'm in heaven!
