Check out the rest behind the cut. You wont regret it, trust me.

Elijah Wood and Shirley Manson for Oliver Peoples. This video is so much fun and makes me want sunglasses, boy blazers, and bowties for spring. And Shirley Manson in a pool.

Dsquared2 Fall/Winter 2010 spine heel boots. I can’t stop staring.

This song is so catchy. I want to party with the stylist for this video. Back seam stockings with fringe and a rose print motorcycle jacket? YES.

Get the look:

I love the fun, quirkiness a little patchwork can add to a simple pair of jeans and boots.

What was once a status symbol for High School and College athletes is making its way into street style. The Varsity jacket is back. While I was no athlete, I still have my letterman sweater for Associated Student Body, and Drama. I guess I thought I was cool since I was the only one that had a sweater when everyone else had a jacket… I should pull that thing out.

Lady Gaga sporting a custom ‘Monster’ spiked letterman arriving at the Brit Awards, while Alexander Wang takes a modern twist by restructuring the shape and adding some zipper and patent leather detailing for his spring 2010 collection.

The March issue of Out magazine features a black and white leather Louis Vuitton letterman in an editorial called “American Idol.”

So you want to sport the look but didn’t letter in anything? Rugby Ralph Lauren has a cool feature on their website where you can customize your very own varsity sweater with your name and patch. Looking for something a bit more authentic and a hell of a lot cheaper?  Check out your local thrift and vintage stores. There are bound to be tones of them. If only I could get my hands on gaga’s… that thing looks deadly.

I wasn’t sure what I wanted to do for the comeback post since I have so much to share, but I figured a few pictures from a fun Thursday night at Dominicos should do while I organize everything else. How does Stephanie manage to make it into every-other post? That girl, I tell ya…

The editorial is called “Into The Wild” and features special headbands by the lovely Andrea Edwards, modeled by Sabrina Jackson. We just did a holiday accessories show to coordinate with the issue release, pictures should be up very soon.

A special thanks to Aldo P. for always making my ideas look as beautiful as possible. Substance spring 10 here we come!

amongst the ‘things I die for’ this season are these amazing bronze Dr. Martens in the continuing collaboration with Raf Simons. A sleeker silhouette  than the original Dr. Marten style, these boots scream city chic with just a hint of bad ass. Wait, I hear them saying something else…something like ‘put me on your feet immediately’. Unfortunately the price tag screams “I cant afford you!” retailing close to $5oo.

In other collaboration news, the highly anticipated launch of Jimmy Choo for H&M kicks off this saturday. The exciting thing about this collab is that it is the first time Jimmy Choo is offering mens wear, sadly the overall response to the mens collection has been, well, disappointment. The designs are lackluster and missing that Jimmy Choo edge the label is so famous for. The one thing that did pop out were these leather bikers boots. The question is do I want to get in line at 6am at the Beverly Center just to drop 200 bucks.

Lately I’ve been all about comfort, but as I’m learning, casual is alot harder to do than I thought. I have been having such a hard time just finding super simple – yet comfortable basics. This weekend however was full of wins. First is the henley by Alternative Apparel, prima cotton at its best, it feels so nice I don’t want to take it off! The real treasure here though is the vintage Levi’s shirt jacket I bought at La Bomba while hunting for my costume. I can’t make out the material but I think its some sort of linen, super soft and worn-in, and the dye job is really cool. Its the perfect California jacket, great for layering, or light enough to go over a tee shirt. If you haven’t noticed, I’m in love…

and the shoes are driving mocs from To Boot New York. another favorite :) I just got them back from the shoe repair! they were in desperate need of a cleaning.
