Get Wild -Supernova

.... Okay I just have to share this with you because when I first opened it I died laughing.



1.) This prooves that the Japanese are still behind us (atleast in music) can you say 90's boy band?
2.) I love how the feel the need to put random English words in there music. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENCE.
3.) Those aren't dance moves they're herbal essences commercials on super speed.

ah.. that was fun

Inspiring Vintage: Levi's Blue Jeans

Vintage is a term that lately has been used in surplus by the fashion community, to a point at which sometimes verges on absurdity. The latest obsession is yesterdays garbage, the discarded unwanted remnants of another time, in short trash has become treasure. This also could not have been timed better with the state of the economy and all, coincidence... ehh maybe not. But I personally have found that history often repeats itself, in the real world and the fashion world. Which is why knowledge of the past can only better ones understanding of the present and soon to be present (aka the future). So Every thursday I'm going to feature a "Vintage" look, item or brand, for my own personal knowledge and to anyone else who stumbles across this hum-drum blog of mind (-bows down to the sparse readers-). And this week.. it's Levi Strauss and Co.

Levi Strauss and Co was founded in 1873, which as the birth year of BLUE JEANS, and since then Levi's have been the iconic Jean which lead the denim revolution. The oldest pair of 501 Levi jeans still in existence is from 1879. Levi loves denim even going so far as making a car which had an interior entirely decked out in... *drumroll* denim, hello 1974 Gremlin. Moving on, for a company that's 150 year's old Levi shows no sign of slowing down. Denim overalls were first produces in the 1870s, and 'modern' jeans came around in the 1920's. The all time question though is what makes jeans so damn versatile? I mean come on... everyone is wearing them, I can not name a single person who does not own a pair of jeans. Perhaps it is color, perhaps it's the comfort, perhaps the price range, perhaps everyone just really does look good in them. In any case it's hard to beat the classic look of white jeans and a t-shirt which we can thank Levi Strauss for marketing so well (Thanks Levs!). Anyway although the cut, fit, quality, and stain of jeans is constantly changing, denim in it's pure form is really inspirational to me. It really strikes a chord in me when someone can wear a simple pair of blue jeans t-shirt combo and look absolutely flawless. (Once again thank you Levs!) So enjoy these Ad's I've dug up... I may do a bit of research and pull together a jean style time line... so cross your fingers.

Tsumori Chisato for OC

I ADORE these shoes by Tsumori Chisato for Opening Ceremony, the J013 lace up wedges on multi print cream are whimsical and shocking! I love how the watercolor detail looks like dragon scales and the colorful fray on the back of the shoe really top off it's extravagance. If there is one thing you can expect from Tsumori is an EXPLOSION of bright color. Pair these shoes with any drab neutral colors ie: beige, black, white, grey, and bring your outfit to life. Tsumori is known for her "unconventional" design style, which makes me only love her more, fashion is an artform after all. Tsumori is an Issey Miyake protege and has a very loyal cult following. If you love Japanese street fashion, graffiti, or COLORS! Then Tsumori is a designer for you, theses shoes are now available ON SALE for $378.00 at Opening Ceremony. Sadly out of my price range, maybe next time.

With the very patriotic weekend fast approaching, and my NikonD60 in the shop... (or rather it will be soon) here are some images I've found in the last week that have really inspired me. I love fashion photography, and photography in general and it's always great to find pictures that are truly inspirational.
