Must have bling of the day: ASOS spike bracelet

Posted Nov 11th 2008 at 3:00PM by Lindsay Miller

Filed under: Accessories, Steals and Deals, Must Haves

We loved the jewelry Robert Lee Smith designed for Mary Kate and Ashley's clothing line Elizabeth and James...especially the dagger necklace. But at $525, it's a bit much to spend on a piece of costume jewelry.

Why aren't you wearing this? Betsey Johnson Leopard Ring

Posted Aug 5th 2008 at 4:49PM by Kristen Seymour

Filed under: Accessories, Daily Obsession, Must Haves


We're starting to gear up for the back to school fashions (and the inevitable dress code restrictions), and one of the things we always like to add to a conservative is a really unique, offbeat piece of jewelry. We think this qualifies.

Avril Lavigne hates, er, loves her new clothing collection

We don't get Avril Lavigne. She's bashing Christina Aguilera one day and rocking Xtina's platinum blonde hair extensions the next. But more curiously, we don't understand why she thinks anyone would be willing to dress like her.

Avril Lavigne: classic black

Posted Jul 7th 2008 at 6:38PM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Cosmetics, Celebrities with Style






Once the territory of only the most hardcore punks, black nails became very mainstream for a few years. The trend is now receding, but you'll continue to see it on skater chicks like Avril Lavigne. If you love the classic, serious look, then black is your color of choice, skip the glitter and funny tips. You can find black nail polish almost anywhere these days, but for on-the-run rockers the Sally Hansen quick dry nail pen in black is convenient and inexpensive. Perfect for the low tech punk aesthetic.

Charlize Theron: haute couture punk

Posted Jul 7th 2008 at 6:18PM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Cosmetics, Celebrities with Style





Charlize Theron is so radiant that she can make this punky purpley-black look like the classiest thing out there. On her it is couture. If you can pick up a street style and dress it up for lunch with the ladies or the red carpet, then you're in Charlize's elite league. Want to try out for the team? Practice with OPI Lincoln Park After Dark.

A secret craving for pink and green that only Lilly Pulitzer can satisfy

Posted Jun 16th 2008 at 11:02AM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Clothing, Dresses, Celebrities with Style


We must confess: Deep in the pit of our black goth heart, we totally dig preppy stuff. Not just that punky plaid stuff. We're talking clothes that pair pink with green. Orange with turquoise. Bright yellow with more yellow.

It goes with the dream of a summer place on the Vineyard, preferably next door to Carly Simon. In the closet would be a vivid Lilly Pulitzer dress- and capri-filled wardrobe. We would also be pleasantly buzzed on G&Ts all day long, and tan without freckles or skin cancer.

CBGB's is now a John Varvatos menswear boutique

Posted Apr 9th 2008 at 11:23AM by Cat Lincoln

Filed under: Style in the News, Men, Celebrities with Style


On Monday, CBGB's died one last time and was reborn as a pricey John Varvatos menswear boutique.

Hmmm. I'm thinking $130 tshirts are totally not punk. On the other hand, Varvatos has pretty good rock and roll connections, and 315 Bowery had to get bought by someone, right?

Attus spring sale: punk polos

Posted Feb 26th 2008 at 10:00AM by Josh Loposer

Filed under: Clothing, Steals and Deals

It's an age-old question: where do I find a collared shirt that expresses my inner-punk? Chances are that if you work in an environment that involves a dress code, you are constantly pissed off at having to buy shirts that you hate, just to avoid annoying speeches from your boss. Well look no further, Attus Apparel has put together a line-up of polos that are quietly subversive -- perfect for sticking it to the man.

I prefer the middle finger version myself, but in case you don't want to get fired, they have other less offensive designs. You can choose from: a head with a mohawk, a 40oz., a toilet, a guitar shredder, and a snowboarder.

All the shirts are 100% cotton and are "slim fit," so take that into consideration and don't buy one that's too small. They're on sale right now for $27 marked down from $54 -- not bad for a quality polo that's this unique.

Styles that Stick: Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars

Posted Jul 27th 2007 at 5:07PM by Annie Wu

Filed under: Accessories, Shoes, Vintage and Retro

Chuck TaylorsFrom the feet of 1970s punks to the tenth Doctor of Doctor Who, Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars, often affectionately called "Chucks", have been everywhere. Sure, they don't offer optimal arch support and, since Nike bought the shoe and moved production overseas, the quality is not as fine as it once was, but the look is too classic to pass up. They go well with jeans or casual skirts and even serve as a nice way of toning down dressy pants.

Also, Chucks hold the strange honor of being the only shoe that most people usually like better dirty and worn-in. Pristine new Chucks are actually a bit blinding and scary... But old Chucks with blackened toes, small holes worn in the sides, and fraying laces, instead of looking sad, they look loved, like a loyal pair of shoes that have joined you on every adventure of your life. Have I made it obvious enough that I love my Chucks?

Here's a helpful hint for finding cheap Chucks: While hunting in the clearance sections of shoe stores (or even online, like on eBay), take a look in the men's section as well. Labels on all the boxes are unisex, so no need to convert your shoe size to men's. On more than one occasion I've managed to find a criminally cheap pair of Chucks just because I took the time to peek.

They're just like us: Vivienne Westwood

Posted May 18th 2007 at 4:06PM by Anne Metz

Filed under: Style in the News

Whenever someone mentions British designer Vivienne Westwood, the words Sex Pistols, punk music, drugs and sex will not be far behind. Back in the early 1970s, Westwood was romantically involved with Malcolm McLaren, the manager for the band the Sex Pistols.

In 1971, McLaren opened a shop called Let it Rock, which sold many of Westwood's wild, punk designs. The relationship between the avant garde designer and the world of rock was ultimately sealed when the Sex Pistols chose to wear outfits from Westwood's collection during their first few gigs.

From then on, Westwood's designs were synonymous with the culture of British punk -- fetish clothing, drugs, sex and the unfortunate fate of Sid and Nancy. It's guilt by association, perhaps, as Westwood claims that she is nothing like her reputation suggests. She told British Vogue: "I've got this reputation for being a bit of sex maniac and things like that, and I'm not. I love that Jean Shrimpton quote: 'Sex has never been high on my list of priorities'."

No way! Designers are just like us*!

*By 'us,' of course, I mean pretty much every woman I know.

Besides the "nu-rave" crap, Paris and Milan's menswear shows look good

Posted Feb 5th 2007 at 3:21PM by Jonathon Morgan

Filed under: Runway Trends, Style in the News, Men

For the über-trendy teenagers reading this, who actually enjoy looking like sci-fi-influenced candy ravers circa 1993, sorry -- but I hate your clothes. Fortunately, it seems I'm not the only one that isn't excited about the "nu-rave" trend that designers, and a few fashion bloggers seem to think will be all the rage in 2007. And, as noted by the Guardian's Hadley Freeman, while major designers may be temporarily caving to this desperate attempt "to find a youth trend to fill the vacuum left by the inevitable self-destruction of the Libertines," their Paris and Milan shows were otherwise successful.

Check out the article for a full run down on all the designer's contributions, but my personal favorite is Slimane at Dior. By refining British punk and mod styles, the designer captures both the chaos and the masculinity that seem to be central in our current return to rock (or grunge, or whatever). Clothes like this (or even the Burberry outfit pictured at right) dress up for a trendy day at the office, or down for a night out at your favorite rock club -- where, with any luck, you'll be listening to your city's latest, greatest, 70s-inspired grunge/rock/punk outfit. Classic.

For those tired of old-fashioned lacing

Posted Dec 29th 2006 at 11:50AM by Annie Wu

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Shoes, Kids and Babies

Straight LacingI recently developed a gaping hole in the back of my favorite pair of low-top Chuck Taylors (I love them ever so much), so I had no choice but to purchase another pair. Since someone did a really crummy job with the shoelaces, I had to re-do them, and, instead of doing the usual cross-lacing, I wanted to try straight-lacing (pictured). I jumped online to find out the easiest way to go about it.

I stumbled across a website called Ian's Shoelace Site, which has illustrated instructions for 31 different ways to tie shoelaces. These styles range from the normal (criss-cross lacing) to the intricate (checkerboard lacing), but are all practical.

By the way, some of these will probably look a little ridiculous on a full-grown person, but if you know of any kids that are looking to have some fun with their shoes, totally go to town. I know any kid sporting the checkerboard would have been a huge hit on my elementary school playground.
