    Knit Wit

    POSTED BY Brianne DiSylvester, 31 August 2007 | PERMALINK

    The summer is almost over, and you know what that means … Labor Day! Bikinis, barbecues and hot, hot babes; we can’t get enough. Fore go that boring, old bathing suit for a look that is as unique as you. Crocheted clothes are oh-so-chic right now, so why not turn up the summer heat with a knitted bikini.

    These trendy suits might not stand up to the wild waves, but if you play your cards...

    The Good German

    POSTED BY Brianne DiSylvester, 30 August 2007 | PERMALINK

     

    We always knew those Germans were a creative bunch. I ask; who else could come up with blood sausage and 27-letter words. But fashionable? We thought German style peaked with Birkenstocks and the military look … until now. Ach Ach Liebling ("oh, oh darling" auf Deutsch) is a San Fran-based jewelry company run by a "single wayward lass" — as she refers to herself — named...

    Fresh Paint

    POSTED BY Brianne DiSylvester, 29 August 2007 | PERMALINK

    If the last time you tried a DIY project, you ended up with a shirt similar to the one Denise made Theo (come on, "The Cosby Show!"), it might be time to step back and start with a smaller task. Urban Outfitters has the perfect starter project to get the — um, creative(?) juices flowing. Don't worry, the only things you'll need is an article of clothing, paint, stencil and the artistic ability...

    Bird on a Wire

    POSTED BY Brianne DiSylvester, 28 August 2007 | PERMALINK

    OK, you've had a fear of flying creatures ever since you watched Hitchcock's "The Birds" … and there was that one time you swear your grandma's parrot whispered murder every time you walked into the room. Well, we think it's time you faced your fears and that fine, feathered foe for a little positive association. Bird, Brooklyn's chicest boutique has spread its wings and gone national...

    Message on a T-Shirt

    POSTED BY Blake Robinson, 22 August 2007 | PERMALINK

    Message Tees are an American classic. A few years back, the message T-shirt suddenly popped up again. First gaining popularity in the 1970s, message T-shirts had a definite “rebirth” a few years back.

    The I Heart New York T-shirt has become a truly recognizable symbol. In fact, it is so well known that it has inspired more than its fair share of knock-offs and copycats. Message T-shirts,...

    From Flip-Flops to Fendi

    POSTED BY Mallory Mitchell, 20 August 2007 | PERMALINK

    To some, comfort equals fashion, but to others, fashion is a $100 cotton T-shirt to be worn once. Most of us fall somewhere in the middle. I have often wondered where one’s fashion sense comes from. Why are some of us drawn to earth tones and others to neons? Do the fashion gods smile upon us when we’re in the womb or are our tacky parents to blame?

    No one can say for sure, but fashion...
