Just Like Honey

makethumbimage-1aspx  Talk about a big hunk of bling! Acrylic mirror necklaces have such an unbearable lightness to them that no matter how big they are, they’re nearly weightless. Super shiny and incredibly unique, these beauties will make you president of the Cool Kids in no time. This one in particular is made by Sugar Mafia. You can get your very own at Smak Parlour, located on 219 Market Street. Hurry though, these are quite rare!

Oxford Comma

black-cap-toesYou certainly don’t have to go to Oxford to get to wear Oxfords. Although they certainly elude a sense of pomposity (if you’re the type that wears them to coffee shops while reading Kant). But there just seems to be something about scalloped edges and wingtips that immediately scream svelte!and that’s quite perfect in our book. They were originally designed for Scottish dancing. But today, they’ve made their way into über American hipness–and it looks like they’re here to stay. 

For the past few seasons, there has been an explosion of reinvention of the Oxford. And they’re absolutely genius! Girls, you can get yourself a pair of sued peep-toe Oxfords at Urban Outfitters. And guys, if you’re bold try them out in croc-skin. But, if you’re going for that Vampire Weekend look, invest in a sturdy pair from Florsheim or Aldo . However, if you’re lucky, snag one of the dozens of pairs available at your nearby thrift shop. d1

Go To The Next Making Time In These

Nike Air Troupe
Weather in Philly has been getting a little unpredictable these days. Why look ridiculous (although cautious) in plaid goulashes when you can top rock to godliness in the new Nike Air Troupes? Versatile style, stable ankle support, and suitable for both sunny days and cataclysmic weather, fancy metallic footwear will always make the statement: I will dance even if it kills me. And of course, don’t forget that wayfarer glasses are a crucial accessory to cosmic fabulosity.

  • A Supa Kawaii Bride

    As a child I always imagined my wedding to be more than perfect. Clearly, I remember at the dear age of five saying I wanted it to “kick butt.” But the tides have changed, and at the not-so-dear age of twenty-three, I’d prefer my wedding to be of a classier caliber–one to remember, and cherish–at least for my first (of several) shots at marriage.
    Lets be real here. Brides wore white to symbolize purity and sacredness, as they gave themselves to their eternally loving groom. Well ex that. Its 2009 baby, and love is fleeting. Get hitched kawaii style and divorce pomo.

    If We Didn’t Start Out This Way, Why, We’d Never Start At All!

    Mother wanted us to come out in a kimono, so we had quite a fight.
