For those of you who aren’t familiar with The Sartorialist, you should be. Head over there and check out the amazing photographs from his Vintage Family Photo Contest. It’s making me itch to sift through my grandmother’s photo boxes this weekend!
a week too late + a lifetime too early: RIP alexander mcqueen
Alexander McQueen, fashion’s genius maverick, passed away last week on the eve of NY’s fashion week… his death means Lady Gaga, his master label Gucci, and the rest of the world has lost a rebellious fashion icon. McQueen represented the merging of the ridiculous with the sublime, creating amazingly forward-thinking fashion that was reviving the meaning of avant-garde.
So “Stuff White People Like” - one of my favorite blogs everrrrr - just published a long overdue update. Their newest target of white culture is the “Trinbiquitous” Ray Ban Wayfarer. Its another bit of self-depreciating humor that the writers at SWPL are SO good at. And its funny because its so true…
If you’re not acquainted with the site, take a peek at it. You’ll find elaborations on certain classics of modern white “intellectual” life such as Coffee, Writing Workshops, The Sunday New York Times, Whole Foods, Liberal Arts Degrees, and Unpaid Internships. The list goes on and on. And don’t feel bad about liking virtually everything on the list. The writers who are poking fun are just as “white” as you are. It takes one to know one, right?
(Note: The first picture is a screen shot from the film Jazz On A Summer’s Day that I’ve written about before. The second is of Vampire Weekend performing. I found both pictures on the blog A Continuous Lean.)
it’s love: polyvore.com. make-your-own online collages with items off of a huge range of fashion and interior design websites…a serious new form of procrastination.
this set is a little ode to parisian style on: my last day in paris!
Landon McMahon Photography 
You need to see Landon McMahon’s portfolio if you’re into fashion photography. I grew up with him back in the promised land and I’ve watched him blowup in the last few years. His work is varied in style and avoids standard fashion photography. Enjoy and see for yourself.
