Palladium Boots - Missile Silo Homes

An interesting project Palladium shot. A documentary of sorts on the US government built secret silos from the '60s.

"Preparing for eminent nuclear fallout with Russia, the US government spent hundreds of millions of dollars building extensive underground missile bases during the 1950s and early 60s. Farmers’ fields became clandestine landscape for weapons capable of waging war on the other side of the world. By 1965, these bases were decommissioned, abandoned and left to rust. Buried silo labyrinths can be found all over – California, New Mexico, New York: most are flooded and completely inaccessible.

We drove 4 hours into Washington State in search of one that we had heard was still usable and found 1 mile of underground tunnels, domes and silos. After a tour we went to Kansas to meet Ed, missile silo real estate agent, drum circle enthusiast and 2012 doomsdayer. He showed us his converted silo home and took us to see another property he just sold for a cool 400K. We put our boots on and headed hundreds of feet underground to investigate secret subterranean living." - Palladium

Athletic Socks - Thigh Highs

I would like to see someone pull this off. Someone not in a dance class. So where else would one wear these to?

American Apparel

B&W Skinny Jeans

It seems these jeans go with everything! And they probably make you look really long and skinny too. You don't even have to be a punk rocker these days to pull them off. Or do you...Hmmmm.

Check out all the combo's this site put together of all the links already blabbing about it.

Plastic Wingtips

Melissa Joy Flocado + Alex. H.

Is it bad that I like these plastic wingtip shoes from Brazilian shoe line Melissa? I think with some jorts or rolled up jeans and a cool hat, they could be kinda rad.

Multi Colored Boots

Lisa Bonet called, she wants her wardrobe from A Different World back...Oops - they got chosen as the Editor's picks on Shop Bop. Oh Loeffler Randall, this is a sad moment for me.

Bathing Suit - Criss Cross

All you need with this bathing suit is a hard hat, an American flag, a ferrari...and you have yourself every guys fantasty.

Head Band, Not What They Meant

Yahoo's blog OMG was stretching a bit when they took this three layer headband and made it looks like a Indian headband....stretch, yes? And seriously disasterous. Would have been cuter to keep it as just a simple head band. Just sayin'

Can You Tell Which Is The Real One?

Steve Madden, the "affordable" shoe line that copies bigger brands, has replicated the Sigerson Morrison Sandal. Can you tell which one is the cheaper one?

The Riding Boot - Frye

I used to ride horses. But, I think even if I didn't ever ride, I would still like the look of a riding boot. It's a classic style that has never changed through time. It's a consistent look and I like that....but sometimes you want to look the part even if you don't have the horse. Frye has a couple of amazing styles to choose from.

Not Pulling It Off

Not even this young thin girl can pull off this hot mess of a look. Is this even a look? A old raggedy Mickey Mouse shirt, washed out chambrey button down, and ugly floral skirt with clunky sandals? Looks like some out of date hippy might pull together. It doesn't work on the hippy, and certainly doesn't work on this girl. Sorry "Fashion Chalet". You've been shot down. Bang.

Miss Piggy and Marc Jacobs

OK. I grew up watching the Muppets. I had a Miss Piggy puppet with a purple dress and I loved her. One of my favorite movies is still The Muppets Take Manhattan....Miss Piggy is a fun girl just trying to find love with her favorite frog. Who doesn't want to find their prince charming in a frog?

Well, looks like Marc Jacobs is trying to help her out a bit by outfitting her for New York's fashion week. She stopped by his office for a tour, a look at the new collection and to get a few outfits. What do I say to that? Lucky pig. Who knew I would ever think that!

Calling All Soccer Moms : Sequined Jack Purcell

The ultimate suburban mommy shoe - a shoe that seems "hip" and "cool" and with sequins! Oh my. Run mommy, run. Stick to the basics....away from the glitz.

Head Dress

Recently I did a post on a head dress piece.I suggested making it a project with your children, or for Burning Man maybe? This one takes the cake. Tarina Tarantino known for her hair jewelry in fun colors, her trademark pink hair....and outrageous prices has created this piece for $300. Yes, $300. I have to go check this one out in person to understand how it's possible. Is it made of gold? Rare bird feathers?I dunno. It could be a piece I see, fall in love with and wish I didn't think it was meh via picture. But seriously - once again...$300!?!?

Sweater : Help! I'm stuck

This wool "cape" looks more like a torture device than a optional scarf alternative. Turtle neck and tight shoulders? How can anyone find this to be comfy?

Shake Your Rump - Goldie Pants

I have to wonder - for $298, do I want to buy these teeny tiny shorts that are either made for waifs, video shoots, or to go under mini dresses? I can think of 298 other things I would rather buy.

This worries me

I was checking out Copenhagen Street Style and there was this picture of a Stylist. A STYLIST. Stay away from me lady. With that awful one piece whatchamacallit and white Givenchy sandals, you look like my nutty art teacher from High School. Loopy. Props to the Goyard...but stay away from Hollywood please.

Kenny Scharf For Movado

New York artist Kenny Scharf who rose to fame in the art world in the 80's along side artists like Keith Haring and Basquiat, has partnered with Movado for their "museum" line of watched. Movado most known for their simple & classic designs, couldn't have reached out to a more psychadelic artist for their high quality time keepers.

Acid Wash

I never did acid wash in the 80's....and I certainly am not going there now....Don't even get me started with the combo of acid + leggings. Yowzers.

Polk-A-Cow

I love my some vintage style which is why I have Kate Spade has remained so iconic as a designer. She has stayed afloat with her classic, colorful, vintage looks. This top called the Madeleine dot balloon sleeve bow blouse, has too many elements that put on the wrong girl, can be, well...cow-ish. With big balloon arms, big neck tie, and big polka dots, it can only translate to a bigger look than one should really ever attempt.

Jumper

We've all seen the short jumper on hipster chicks this summer. You have to have a "look" to pull the look off. But, a pull on - made of viscose? Viscose: viscous organic liquid used to make rayon and cellophane. Viscose is becoming synonymous with rayon - Wikipedia. It sounds like the next generation of sweats. Fancy sweats. Is it actually possible to make the sweats look even less flattering? Apparently there is.

Flattering Tanks

I love stripes....but I have issues with horizontal ones. This top from Old Navy has the best direction of stripes! Pulling into the waist has got to be the most flattering direction. It comes in 10 colors for $14.50. Unbeatable.

I'm Frightened

Runway shows. Theatrics. And that's what I keep telling myself as I look at this snapshot from Alexander McQueen's show. Ayayayay, I need to go wash my eyes out now.

Pretty In Pink?

I am having an internal debate with myself. Ugly pretty or pretty ugly? It reminds me of the dress that Molly Ringwald's character Andie Walsh mashed up together for Prom in Pretty In Pink.

Glowby's.....Hair Pieces

Some might call these fiber optic barrett's "fun"....like for a rave, Burning Man, a carnival... For $5.99 you can make people stop in their track and go - What the heck is that in her hair? Let me clarify for those thinking I think this "cool". I will not be wearing these, thankyouverymuch.

My Favorite Jeans. And They're Only $12.50

Finding the right jeans can make your head spin, and your wallet ache. My favorite pair of jeans are the Light Weight Straight Leg Pant at Forever 21, for $12.50.

Ding dong - who is it? Cheap pair of jeans. Cheap pair of jeans who? Cheap pair of jeans I need to run and get them before someone snags my size and I can't find them again.

Military Shirt Dress - Sold Out

Somehow this dress is listed as sold out on on the Pixie Market site. A stylist must have scooped them up for a Yeah Yeah Yeah's music video or something because I don't know who looked at that dress online and said "I HAVE TO HAVE THAT". Fringe on the hard edge shoulder pads?
