#tbt the very first Closet Collage, @officialrodarte Spring 2011
So here’s what I’m obsessed with: Cherrybombe Magazine. Started by two former Harper’s Bazaar editors slash all around cool ladies who used Kickstarter to back their premiere issue, the magazine is all about food from a woman’s perspective. Add in their fashion ties, radar for all things fresh and awesome, and the ultimate cover girl Karlie Kloss, and you’ve got the coolest new magazine on the stand. After reading it cover to cover on my trip to Chicago this weekend, I can confidently say that I am officially hooked. Follow Claudia and Kerry on Instagram and Twitter for all sorts of info and behind-the-scenes action, and make sure to pick up a copy ASAP.
TILDA!! Shine on, you crazy, crazy diamond.
Watch this. It will brighten your Friday, guaranteed.
New collages available for purchase! Message on Tumblr or email closetcollage@gmail.com to order.
Armani Prive, Fall Couture 2011
Balenciaga, Spring 2008
Burberry, Fall 2008
Carven, Spring 2011
I have been a long time fan of Rachel Antonoff and always get excited to see who she’ll feature in her look book each season. Spring 2013 is a true gem starring my favorite Pretty Little Liar, Troian Bellisario. Photographed horsing around at the Beverly Hills Hotel, the combined wit and whimsy of Troian’s moves and Rachel’s fantastic clothes is a match made in heaven. Here are my favorites, and make sure to check out the full look book on Fashionista.
Tommy Hilfiger, Fall 2013
Tommy really delivered this season with a collection full of pieces perfect for a collegiate fall. The standouts for me were the tweeds, and I love how these pieces used elements of repetition while still showcasing small details that made each look unique. The bucket hats, the over the knee boots, the mini skirts; it was all very “Cher Horowitz meets Ivy Style” and I couldn’t be more excited.
Here in New York we are enjoying the end of winter and enduring some seriously dreary weather. I always get a bit of a travel bug this time of year, an itch for some adventure and a shake up in my usual routine. This video has been a favorite for some time and it always perfectly sums up what I long for. It’s that all-consuming need to try new foods, learn a new language, and most importantly see new things. As I head into spring, I’m making a little list of personal goals, from the very small (hanging art in my new apartment, reading more frequently) to the large (learning how to skateboard, planning a trip to California). It’s a nice way to start the new season on the right foot. And in the meantime, I have this video to remind me of the possibilities. What’s on your list?
Prabal Gurung, Fall 2013
Prabal, you never let me down. It’s like a sea of jungle tribal warrior jewel tone ladies with a dark twist. One of my favorite collections from New York this season.
