have you ever noticed that magazines are not magazines any more? Bazaar, I love the editorials normally but this month it just wasn't cutting it. when did fashion become the promotion of next season instead of whats fresh and interesting? i find my self more interested in what Beth of Vintage Society and Siri of Ringo Go Have a Banana are wearing than what kate moss and gemma ward are wearing.

i guess i take solace in Lula but really twice a year? and for $54? Oouf. Anyway here is some content that isn't selling anything that I am totally in love with right now...

Oh, bagman.

They're like James and Clara put together but still two different people.
And with lots of hand drawn type. So good.

We super (like, ultra) cold-pitched the concept of our shop yesterday and Australian label Lover was one Liv mentioned she'd like to carry. Duh.

I love the sweet / edgy duality of the collections and the musical references to Patti Smith and Marianne Faithful which they elaborate on, amongst other things, in their podcast. Music has always been an important element to me in the studio so its always great to hear other artists speak of its role in their practice. A couple of my picks:



I am still searching for oxfords. And by searching I mean hoping that someone will kindly email a link to a pair on ebay (size 10). However, I've been revisiting these lately, so we'll see. Oh, and can I have this hair for xmas?

I was planning to post about one of my other favorite illustrators, Charley Harper, until I saw this documentary. Maira Kalman blogged for a year @ NYT and embroiders stuff, too. Her daughter's middle name is Bodoni. Awesome.
