all tomorrow's parties..

apples and grapes. cinnamon tea. the velvet underground. and quince with sugar.

another fairytale..

among a bunch of things happening at the just-finished london fashion week, besides fashion shows and front rows, there were a few of them which stood out. when jefferson hack throws a party you know it won't be conventional nor stereotypical just like the magazines he's running. inspired by a classic fairytale - alice in wonderland, the release party for AnOther magazine's 25th issue was hosted by 25 of london's it faces. the rest of them through the looking glass.

over the hills and far away..

mixing patterns and nostalgia for the change of seasons..

outside lands..

in between two festivals that i consider the peek of my summer fun, i've been browsing recent festival street style reports.. it's funny, if not ridiculous, the way local fashion blogs and sites report about festival fashion - same faces, usually other bloggers, over and over again, from one festival to another. if that's what 'street style' is supposed to be then i obviously misunderstood the expression. but being a regular festivalgoer myself i enjoy the people and style firsthand, and appreciate the fact that there are a lot of interesting, inspirational individuals besides a few local 'fashionistas'. 

therefore, lacking in local festival style photos, here's a beautiful report from the outside lands festival in san francisco which had a lot of great bands on the bill this year. pics via free people blog.
