Movie Night!



Tonight's character: Arlene from Quentin Tarantino's "Death Proof."

If her lap dance to The Coasters' "Down in Mexico" doesn't change your life, you're watching it wrong.

Jeans-iffer Herrema

If you've ever been in my car, you've heard Jennifer Herrema. The filthy rock'n'roll sounds of RTX and Royal Trux flood me with nostalgia and if I close my eyes I can feel the hot Los Angeles twilight in my faux-fur coat and the battered groan of my little car behind the music.
One of my favorite style-icons, I have limitless photos of her in furry tails and turquoise jewelry, scraping her throat towards a mic.
Now, with her collaboration with Volcom, I can feel just a little bit closer to being somewhere near as cool as the coolest chick of all time.

Designed to resemble her iconic look, volcom teamed up to construct (and adversely, destruct) denim. Adding studs, patches, tears, rips and, of course, tails, they've done as good as a moderately priced brand can do to recreate her iconic look.




Although this may bring mankind closer to ultimate cool-dom, there's really nothing quite like the feel of jeans lived in by you.

Velvet Crush

More than eight year old girls' Christmas Party Dresses. Many designers for fall walked out some amazing pieces cut from rich, jewel toned velvet. Designers include Alexander Wang, Richard Nicoll, Dolce and Gabbana as well as Rachel Roy who said to Style.com "I don't use fur, so I was looking for fabrics that felt as rich and soft to the touch."
From top to bottom: D&G, Burberry Prorsum, Antonio Berardi and Dolce & Gabbana
