Today I came across this neat little feature in the New York Times. It’s a slide show with some audio. The slide show features some nice street fashion shots by Bill Cunningham, NYT Photographer. The audio is a very interesting little blurb where Bill conjectures that fashion is going to have some really dramatic changes as a result of our current financial problems. Bill is surprisingly older, and remembers the Great Depression, so he has experience to back up his hypothesis. It’s an interesting feature, worth checking out. What do you think? Do you think fashion is going to change a lot over the coming year or two as a result of the financial crisis? What types of things do you think might change?

Remember when I made that post about mantyhose the other day? Well today I found this guy over on Street Boners & TV Carnage in their Street Boners section, which is a street fashion column. I thought I’d post him because he’s a good example of a guy actually wearing them around, rather than a posed shot. Also I noticed that they called them guylons and not mantyhose. Interesting!

Simply original^^
Our January catalog drops today! The trend concept this month is called Farmer’s Daughter. Here’s some info from Elsa on our catalog team:
“We shot the catalog in Epping, North Dakota. We found the location in a National Geographic article about abandoned towns of North Dakota. Basically, in the early 20th century, with railroad expansion, people moved to the prairies of North Dakota to homestead and hoping to make a life farming. Unfortunately the weather proved to be too harsh for them or their crops and eventually the people had to abondon their houses as well as most of their belongings.
These houses and barns remain standing to this day, and if they are owned by anyone, you wouldn’t know it as they seem to have been long forgotten. We worked with a woman in Epping whose family had come out to North Dakota by way of Ohio, and she took us to the homestead they made, a small cabin on acres and acres of land. We were also able to explore lots of other abandoned houses, barns, schools, and even a church. Each building contained remnants of lives left behind, things such as books, clothes, papers, letters, and furniture.
It was an unbelievable experience getting to see this, but we decided that shooting outside in the vast fields was much better for our trend. The land in North Dakota is beautiful and vast, and it felt emptier than any other place I have ever been.”
Here are a few of the National Geographic photos, but check out the rest at the link. They are eerily beautiful…

This is a great story! I love knowing the history behind some of the most desolate places on earth. the photo shoot trend fits in perfectly with the landscaping
Nendo is the creator of these awesome deer antler outlet covers! They advertise them as a way to hold up your phone while you’re charging it, or your keys, but I would love to have an outlet with antlers just for the sake of itself! It looks so cool!

Today we received something very exciting in the mail! It was a little pet-camera, which you can clip to your pet’s collar so that you can see their view of the world! It takes a picture once a minute, and we had a blast today trying it out with Trixie, my chihuahua. She wore the camera for about an hour total and showed us the extremely large and low to the ground world of the chihuahua. Check out some of the pictures below!
Hehe! Next we plan to try the camera out on a larger doggy, we’re not sure who yet though! I will post the results!

that's such an interesting invention! wow who would've thought of that! Chihuhuas are my fav breed of dogs by the way =) P.S I don't mean to be annoying and bothersome, but I was just wondering if you've received my e-mail replying to the one you sent me earlier? I know that your mailbox is probably overflowing with messages, and it'll take a while to get through them. But I was just curious if you have gotten my reply? I was really excited that you got in contact with me and haven't heard from you since =) Thanks!
Here it is – our latest episode of Dog Talk! This time our host Kevin interviews a very peculiar type of dog… Enjoy!

Actually, that is my father! he is a big fan of DogTALK so we thought we could let his wolf-form have a cameo! :) I am not real sure where the mask came from, I think my sister found it somewhere in New York City...

i frickin LOVE dog talk. the opening sequence is genius.
I really love this idea for updating a plain old leather belt. This particular belt looks cool with the eyelet details. I like the way it looks when the leather splits.
Head over to Bleach Black for the details! (I also recommend reading the first comment on her entry:)

Don’t you love these fashion illustrations by Cassandra Rhodin? They all look like femme fatales! They also kind of remind me of sketches by Betsey Johnson, with those big eyes! Ma Frangine has more drawings for your viewing pleasure…

I especially like the first photo. It looks very expensive!
One of our mannequin heads was having a bit of a static-hair day…
Can you believe Pattra’s shitake mushroom plant? When she first got it 4 days ago, it just looked like a loaf! I am amazed at how much it has grown in such a short time! Plus, shitake mushrooms are super delicious, and the plant should last 6 months! That’s a lot of good eating!

Hey guys! You can get one of the mushroom plants online at Far West Fungi! You can grow them in your home very easily! They come in a big plastic bag - you just poke a few holes in the bag, and leave them in it. Put them in indirect sunlight, and leave them be. Before you know it, you will have tons of little mushrooms sprouting up!

How did she get a mushroom plant? Can you grow them in your home? Can I buy one online? I am very interested in that. It's like a better version of having an herb garden on your countertop.
Many cute and stylish pairs of shoes came in to work today! I wandered around and snapped a few pictures of them. Which ones do you like best? I think my favorites might be the spiky heeled boots at the very bottom.
