Children + Children-sized Clothing that Looks Like Adult Clothing = A-dorable!

I like to think that when I have children some time later in life, I will dress them up in impossibly adorable clothes and they'll be the envy of all the other kids because they're so well-dressed. Maybe they'll look something like this!






I found the first few here (thanks Liza!) and the last one here. The kids in the last photo aren't as fashionable as the others, but the photo is SO CUTE! P.S. I didn't mean for them all to be of Asian children. They're just so cute!

Black Tie Dinner

I'm completely terrified that I will eventually ruin all of my clothes by somehow spilling food on them. I probably won't be donning a napkin bib any time soon, but I love this darling napkin and tie by Hector Serrano for Worldwide!


Read about it here and buy it here. There are other ties, but I think a simple black tie is the best look.

French Horn Rebellion vs. Database - Beaches and Friends (Hey Champ Remix)

I am loving this song since I heard it at work for the first time. I enjoy that it's a remix by Hey Champ as I actually saw them perform last year when they opened for The Sounds in Toronto! So happy for their success. I'm going to be honest though: before I knew what the song was called, I thought they were singing "beaches in France". My bad. Although, I'm sure beaches in France are completely lovely and the song would've worked if that's what they were actually singing.

Alexander McQueen (1969-2010)

As I'm sure you've all heard, Alexander McQueen has passed away. I really don't know what to say and I'm so sad that this is my first real blog post. I liked Tim Blanks' words on it best so I'll leave that with you here.

The news that Alexander McQueen has killed himself is particularly devastating because it always felt to me like he’d be the last man standing. He was restless, but so pragmatic with it I assumed he had what it took to endure the extreme situations he placed himself in. He was also an arch romantic with a pessimistic streak. It produced some of the most beautiful, shocking images in the history of fashion, but it’s a state of mind that can lead to endless disappointments. The death of McQueen’s mother last week would have validated his pessimism. It would undoubtedly have taken away his most vital support. It’s awful to imagine him trying—and failing—to cope, and one can only hope that, if he was looking for peace, he found it. For everyone left behind, there will eventually be consolation, however scant right now, in a body of work whose power will never die.
