I have to pre-face this with I am not the biggest fan of "Best Coast" but watching their video yesterday did put them a few notches higher in my book. Besides the familiar concept of rival gangs and Romeo and Juliet kind of love we have seen many times in movies,books,etc, this video has some awesome fashion. Just the way it's styled is brilliant! I want every piece that Chloe is wearing. When I look at the video all I can think of is "I wish I could photograph it". 

Directed by Drew Barrymore and featuring not one, not two, but three of my favorite young actresses how could this ever be a fail? If you haven't seen it yet do yourself a favor and go see it now....

fashion week...

i was just catching up on new york fashion week last night and was thouroughly dissapointed
mostly because the lack of color in the collections that have shown.
It's spring and maybe to me spring means color...but all the collections i have seen have been bombarded with black,white and grey, and when there is color its always muted.
it seems no one has any fun in fashion anymore..
i just want to see something new and suprising !
but maybe fashion is kind of on the backburner right now
that's why places like american apparel are making the big cash.
everyone wants to go back to being simple..no fuss...
who knows..

the one big collection that has shown has been L.A.M.B.
i read somewhere that Gwen's inspiration was going back to
her ska roots...and i could see that a bit..but it mostly looked
like mod/punk and then it kind of went somewhere else with the print...
























there was also some green striped printed shirts and dresses
that she showed but those just seemed more out of place than the print
did. At least she used color though!!!!











One collection that i really liked though was Lela Rose, she had some cute
cuts for dresses and orange was a prominent color in her collection .

hopefully we will see more color in the collections that are left to show this week
