Susan Janet Ballion better known by her stage name, Siouxsie Sioux, is a British singer/songwriter best known as the vocalist of Siouxsie and the Banshees between 1976 and 1996. Siouxsie is considered to be one of the most influential British singers of the post punk era and definitely an inspiration to those who love her style. I love her eye make-up!
I've only lived in New York for 5 days so I haven't seen too much but today I stumbled upon New York Vintage while on my way to meet some friends for dinner. I recognized it right away from the Rachel Zoe Project. I couldn't help but go in and check it out. I was blown away! The pieces could have come straight out of my fashion history book. Amazing!
This morning I was browsing new fonts and I cam across the font "Buttermilk" designed by Jessica Hische. I'm in love and god knows if I only had $49 it would be mine today. Anyhow... from there I looked Jessica up to see if she has a website and I am blown away by her typography! To give you a little background, Jessica is a designer/illustrator currently living in Brooklyn. She spends her days drawing type and designing pretty things and her late nights working on everything from editorial illustration to hand-lettering for romance novel covers.
Lula Magazine has a Scrapbook which includes inspiring images posted by celebrities, musicians and some of the top creative forces in the fashion industry... KIRSTEN DUNST, ALISON MOSSHART, ALEXA CHUNG and LAURA MULLEAVY (of Rodarte), just to name a few.
These drawings make me want to start sketching again. They look like beautiful little maps!
Plastiscines singer and guitar player, Katty Besnard has a vintage style that's reminiscent of 1960's sex symbols like Jane Birkin and Brigitte Bardot. If you check out old pics you can see her look has evolved quite a bit in the past year. I'm loving the big messy hair and dramatic lashes. Total inspiration.
Jenni Porkka is a young fashion photographer from Stockholm, Sweden. This is the first I've seen of her work. I love the washed out colors and use of natural scenery. So beautiful. I love her style.

Anna Sui's line for Target is adorable. I made it to Target two days after the line came out and barely found anything left in my size! But I did find this... I love it.
Boy by Band of Outsiders spring 2010 collection has some of the best looks for guys I've seen in a while. The boys are so cute! I could actually see some of my hipster guy friends wearing this stuff (if they could afford it!). Designer Scott Sternberg calls the look "Malibu in the seventies". More specifically he says "It started with a Jacques Cousteau documentary, Le Monde du Silence," he explained. "And from there I started listening to Dennis Wilson." As in the Beach Boys. I love this collection. It has a sort of Wes Anderson/Life Aquatic vibe I know my guy friends will dig :)
This month W Magazine put out a photo editorial by my favorite photographer Juergen Teller titled Woodstock (top 3 images) to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Woodstock Music Festival. The photos feature images of Dree Hemingway (it girl and granddaughter of Earnest Hemmingway) among others, wearing hippie looks such as richly patterned dresses, lumberjack shirts and slouchy sweaters. I think they look amazing. His work always inspires me...
