Marisa Tomei for Boy by Band of Outsiders

Yes, Marisa Tomei is still adorable.  Scott Sternberg continues with his tradition of shooting various folks (some very famous, some more obscure) for his Boy by Band of Outsiders lookbooks- this time with Marisa Tomei at local hipster favourite, Chateau Marmont.  The last shoot was of Sarah Silverman at Canter’s Deli, which is pretty darn good too.

Upcoming Rodarte for Target

I just read that Rodarte is going to do a collection for Target, which is mind-blowing.   I love this Pasadena-based duo (practically my neighbours), but am at a loss when trying to imagine them designing a collection for the masses.  They are known for their airy-yet-edgy, avant-garde approach to design.  It will be interesting to see how they translate their couture styles into a more accessible product.  I’m looking forward to it, are you?  What Target collaborations have you enjoyed in the past?

Grégoire Alexandre

What an amazing portfolio. I literally looked at every photo on his site.  The interaction with objects and models is so meticulous and beautiful.

In all my thrift store and antique store trolling, this was my only good vintage score in Boulder! I really love it though.

Oliver Peoples vintage style frames

Love these three unisex styles from Oliver Peoples.  The first style is a nice collaboration with actress Zooey Deschanel, but my personal favourite is the second style which was inspired by Andy Warhol.  I am seeing so many great examples of these modern sunglasses with the (hopefully) timeless beauty of vintage sunglasses.

Lauren Manoogian at Creatures of Comfort

Update:  I posted Lauren’s paperclip jewelry a while back and now more of her work is available at the Creatures of Comfort site.  I really love her designs.
