Is The Shrug Coming Back?

Last night I stepped back in time to the early '90' at the Sonic Youth show at The Wiltern. Great people watching. Grrrreat people watching. Flannels - well, we haven' evolved much still...Doc Marten's, ripped clothes, food long goatie's...braided....and shrugs. I remember my shrug. What was the point of them? I mean it looks ed sort of cool and deconstructed at the time. I remember mine was so warm, but so odd, right? Well - this girl standing out side the Wiltern must have kept hers or Urban Outfitters is making them have a come back.

Henri Bendel

I'm sure alot of you know that Henri Bendel opened a shop in the Beverly Center. It's filled with all Bendel's branded merchandise. I guess in the past few years they have been phasing out clothing even in their Manhattan store, and capitalizing on their strength of accessories. Well, I'm guilty of going there to check out the goodies and I even own a brown and white shower cap. I think if I was to add anything to my collection from there, it would be their enamel bangle's. A cheaper Hermes alternative.

Suspended Studs

My love for this stud shape has not dissipated.
Leviticus

Man side neclace?

Don't tell me this is going to be the next "cool" thing for guys. Ayyyy yahy yahhhhhy.

Give it a little oomf.

This look is so simple. But with the button applique or pin addition it's got a little more oomf. I like the oomf.

Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore - Hair

In the early '80's I used to watch the show Alice. At some point I heard there was a movie that spawned the tv show, and I finally just watched it. The Scorsese film starring Ellen Burstyn...and her bowl cut. For some reason I thought it was adorable and I would totally cut my hair like this if I could pull off bangs.

Meryl Streep and Natascha McElhone

I have been watching a lot of Woody Allen movies during the holidays, and when I was watching Manhattan I couldn't help but notice a similarity between Meryl Streep in 1979 and Natascha McElhone. I'm not alone here, right?

D&G Glasses

I ripped out this ad a few months ago because I fell in love with these frames. I finally looked them up. They aren't more than $150 which I think is so affordable for frames! Style 1174.

Diane Arbus

I went to the 30 year retrospective at MOCA, in Los Angeles, and there was such wonderful inspiration to be noted. I always find myself so drawn to the eccentric characters of Diane Arbus. While this photo isn't quite a great example of her work, I loved this bathing suite that these girls are in. Hello designers? Copy it please and send me one. Thanks in advance.

I'm a little tea pot....

I mean shoe! Eew.
