Tandem Umbrella

It's finally raining in L.A., and I'm kinda enjoying the change of weather. It's nice to see and feel seasons changing... perpetual summer gets kinda boring. Plus, we finally get a chance to wear chic fall pieces. Yay for layering.

Anywho, I got to thinking of this cute umbrella produced by Jasmine Raznahan and Marc Owens. The idea is simple, but oh so clever. Whether it's possible/logical or not, I think it's a romantic idea worth bringing to your attention.

Bierut for the USA

Men’s Vogue asked Michael Bierut (not Beirut) to design a more politically neutral lapel pin. Bierut’s typographic solution reorganizes the familiar “USA” configuration into a monogram that displays its own kind of unity. The pins have been produced in a limited edition of 5,000 and are now available at a recession-priced $10 each from Men’s Vogue with proceeds going to Puppies Behind Bars. - Via www.pentagram.com

All I have to say is, "typographic solution".

Awesome,

American Apparel - Emergency Jacket

The "Lightweight Taffeta Emergency Jacket" by American Apparel is awesome! Why you ask, because any item of clothing that folds up into a sewn-in zippable pouch is cool. Perfect for the jet-setter type looking to take nothing more than a weekender bag for a quick getaway or business trip, this windbreaker can be worn casual or styled up in many creative ways.

Aside from the Kangaroo, this is my second favorite Marsupial.

Men In Heels

Fashion Alert: MEN CAN WEAR HEELS NOW

...LOL, I'm not sure if that's really the case, but I wanna give this man the respect he deserves for pulling off this look. Yes it is a bit Grace Jones, but it's still authentic to me. It doesn't feel like he's cross-dressing, it feels like pure adrogenous chic... do you see the distinction?

Next time you're wondering if that certain article of clothing you're wearing is just 'too much', please think back to this daring young man. For crying out loud, if he can wear a jumper with heels, you can surely wear skinny jeans.

Everyday is another opportunity to whip up a killer ensemble, so get up and wear something provacative.

Style is a terrible thing to waste... you can quote me on that,
