I was pumped to get this month’s Anthropologie. The in-house creative team joined forces with Hatch Show Print, one of the oldest working letterpress print shops in America for the June catalog. You’ll notice their iconic typography on the covers as well as some great photography incorporating vintage signage throughout the book.

The new collection by Alexander McQueen for Target is full of tattoo-printed, mesh-draped, rivet-studded “frocks that rock,” all inspired by bluesy British psych-rockers the Duke Spirit—and, specifically, by the Duke Spirit’s frontwoman, Liela Moss.
The collection is in stores now and I’m going to check it out this weekend. I’m not a huge fan of the pink prints, but some of the black pieces like the vest, could be cool if constructed nicely. My friend Lisa helped organize the launch McQ pop-up shop in NYC which took place in conjunction with fashion week.
I figured I would post my favorite song from the band as well.

The brand Quicksilver and high fashion have never been synonymous, so I was surprised to hear that to introduce their new spring collection, they were going to showcase fashion bloggers who typically commentate on Milan runnways as opposed to Laguna Beach.
The result is surprising and I thought each did a nice job expressing their unique fashion point of view with the line. As well, it’s a smart and cost efficient marketing effort by the brand, since each of these sites maintain a large and devout readership. The clothes itself are surprisingly nice and have evolved from the teen surf girl, to grown up basics, for stylish California chic. From top left counterclockwise, Hannah (Hannah and Landon), Taghrid (Taghrid: A Lookbook), Rachel (That’s Chic), Krystal (What is Reality Anyway), Beth (The Vintage Society), and Karla (Karla’s Closet).
If you are in NYC, check out the Quicksilver concept store that opened at the end of last month in SoHo. The space has a cozy boutique feel with a lounge area where champagne and water is served to customers as they shop, and a Quiksilver women’s personal shopping assistant is on hand to advise on fits, styles and outfit ideas.
