Grimes X YSL

A very interesting, and albeit random, collaboration to report on. The Canadian singer Grimes (also known as Claire Boucher) teamed up with Yves Saint Laurent on a few limited edition graphic print shirts designed by the singer herself. The shirts are pretty cool, and it would be so awesome if they were available to purchase at Grimes shows, but for certain, the shirts will be available this week in LA and New York Yves Saint Laurent stores. While the price tag is a bit higher than a normal band shirt ($350 to be exact), I'd have to say it's worth it, and I might be splurging on one. That is, if you even like Grimes, if not, the shirt might be less appealing.

Last year I reported a trend of fur stoles. Earlier this year, and actually before that, the detachable collar trend exploded and I'm not surprised by what I've been seeing by the elite brands now. Detachable fur collars are starting to appear all over online stores, and while I'm still not quite sure how one properly styles it, I think it's worth a shot.

Muse Monday: Beth Ditto

I remember when the Gossip first came out several years ago. What I remember most were all the articles I read about the eccentric lead singer Beth Ditto. She was definitely a power house. Strong, lesbian, provocateur, over-weight, confident and extremely powerful. Ditto talked about rejection all her life and how it just made her stronger. Even after she picked a fight with Kate Moss over the NME "Sexiest Woman Alive" award, a week later, they were BFF's. Anyone that has seen Gossip live will easily tell you, Beth Ditto knocks your socks off. She is just full of this positive energy that overwhelms the entire room and makes you want to dance until your feet fall off. Beth Ditto is definitely a symbol of the future woman. She exudes an energy quite like no other, and she is as strong as she is loud. I think that's enough to make her at least this week's Muse.

cold toes on the cold floor

One of my favorite trends out there, that I've definitely been indulging in, are collar tip shirts. I think this is the new wave of tipping. I keep seeing more and more toe capped shoes, and as you can see, it's really not just me. All these brands have come out with it, in one form or another, and I've been seeing Sam Edelman and Jeffrey Campbell starting to make copy cats. And you know, when Jeffrey Campbell makes a copy of it, you're doing something right. Or wrong? Right?

Freja Beha: a new icon

Freja Beha Erichsen is a seriously busy model. She has done everything from ad campaigns to runways for names like Chanel, Valentino, Max Mara, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Dior, Burberry, Alexander Wang, Prada, and pretty much any other massive brand name. Naming them all would just take up waaaaay too much space. I adore her rock n roll style and the fact that she has 16 tattoos all over her kind of cements that bad-ass reputation.
