Deer Dana Pays Homage to More Muses for Spring

What makes someone a muse? Is it the wild partying, epic records, or flawless sense of style? We're not sure. However, we'd like to know sometime soon because -- next to starring in one of Beyonce's music videos -- we want t-shirt company Deer Dana to create a piece with our likeness on it.

Creepy cool Lady Grey Jewelry

What do you get when you mix a background in dental work with art school metals training? Well, when you multiply that interesting mix by two, the result is the just-this-side of macabre Lady Grey Jewelry.

Jill Martinelli and Sabine Le Guyader are the Mass Art-trained designers behind this bone/wood/icon obsessed line of necklaces, bracelets, rings and wearable objects. They work out of a studio in Brooklyn and as their totally cool site puts it, are "inspired by objects of decay -- such as teeth, branches and bones."

Lauren Wolf Jewelry

Email thisPosted Mar 29th 2008 at 2:39PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News

Jewelry designer Lauren Wolf has some distinctive influences in her jewelry: She studied in coastal Mexico and now works "out of her studio in the shadow of the Brooklyn Bridge." While these might seem like opposing forces, she finds amazing and creative ways to use these two influences in her jewelry.

Textures like sting ray skin and and snake skin are cast in gold and silver, giving an urban feel to an otherwise coastal motif. However, I'm partial to the work she does with floral designs -- simple, beautiful flowers are given an edgy twist, so instead of just looking pretty and girly, they look feminine and badass (and who doesn't love that?). Lauren has lots of celebrity fans, including Lindsay Lohan, Cameron Diaz, Michelle Williams, Penelope Cruz, and Brooke Shields.

This isn't your grandma's costume jewelry -- it's the real deal. If you're looking for an incredible signature piece that you can be sure folks will notice for years to come, you've got to check out Lauren Wolf.

Trend alert: yoga for your face

Email thisPosted Feb 8th 2008 at 4:30PM by Josh Loposer

Want to do away with some saggy spots and laugh lines on your face, but you don't really like the idea of surgeons rearranging your features or getting injected with toxic chemicals? There's a hot new trend out there that claims to revitalize your droopy face -- without going under the knife. It's called "Face Yoga" and it's all the rage at the NY Health and Racquet Club. Even Hollywood starlets like Gwyneth Paltrow and Jennifer Aniston are reportedly getting in on the action.

The pioneer of Face Yoga here in the US is most definitely Annelise Hagen. She wrote the book on Face Yoga -- I mean that literally, it's called The Yoga Face. Annelise claims that you can get rid of wrinkles and achieve a more youthful complexion by simply making idiotic faces in her yoga classes. For example, she has students do exercises such as holding their eyes wide open to combat crow's feet.

Does it work? Who knows, but it's got to be better than botox. Her book is on sale at Amazon, if you're into that whole reading thing. Rumor has it that reading gives you crow's feet though -- tough call.

Sovereign Beck: give you neck some love

Email thisPosted Jan 20th 2008 at 2:02PM by Josh Loposer

Filed under: Accessories, Men

Unfortunately for a lot of us, neckties are a mundane part of our 9 to 5 life -- I feel for ya salespeople. But just because they're part of the required dress code at work, that's no reason ignore the supreme power that you can wield by having the coolest necktie in the room.

One way to be sure that your Half-Windsor knot is as impressive as the brilliant things you have to say, is to start with an elegant tie like those made by the design gurus at Sovereign Beck.

Two former pupils of the Rhode Island School of Design, Ryan Sovereign and William Beck are dedicated to creating designs that fall into that narrow space between provocative and timeless. It doesn't hurt that their ties are 100% silk and crafted by hand.

To these guys, each design is a "statement of individuality." Fortunately each design is also a limited run, so you don't end up making the same statement as some other individual at the office party.

Of course, a statement like this doesn't come cheap -- it will set you back about $90. Still, I can appreciate where they're coming from. It's not often that you find a tie that speaks to your inner fashion-geek and you don't feel stupid wearing it.

Victorian sensibility

Email thisPosted Jul 30th 2006 at 1:22PM by Anne Metz

Filed under: Clothing, Vintage and Retro

As Bill Cunningham points out in the New York Times, the Victorian look is back ... or at least it is among a certain set in New York, judging from what the Who's Who was wearing to outdoor parties in the Hamptons and at Brooklyn's Prospect Park.

Calling these dresses with trains a throwback to "the Victorian gaslight era," Cunningham makes one wonder what will be the next fad from Victorian England.
Possibilites include:

Lord Tennyson's epic-length lyric poem In Memoriam
child labor
the Boer War
the last gasp of landed aristocracy

As they said in Victorian times, the sun never sets upon England. Will the sun ever set upon Victorian fashion?
