White Stars Black Fabric

I recently have been into white stars on black fabric. It started when my father bought a tie from Acne that was black with white stars on it. I got this dress from H&M, it was exciting for me to find it.

Inspired by Jill Stuart

Recently I have been inspired by the Jill Stuart Spring 2012 collection. Especially the three front looks. My favorite is the one in the middle. The collection as a whole is extremely Stepford Wife but with different tailoring. Stepford Wife and a little Gatsby I suppose. I love the leather detailing with the tailoring, it makes for a cool, elegant chic.

IFBcon Pt. I of II

As I mentioned in my previous post, Jordan and I attended the IFBcon at Milk Studios. I would be lying if I said that IFB put on anything less than a well coordinated and fantastic show. Each impressive panel was different than the other, and each panelist was experienced in their unique field; had useful and relevant knowledge to share; and had varied opinions on the topics. Let's not forget all of the dope swag that we were given: on the go flat irons from Amika; makeup palets from Urban Decay; KMS California (a personal favorite of mine) products AND hair styling; hair bows from gla.mar.ous; earrings from BaubleBar; Butter nail polish; Manicures and treats from Magnum ice cream; and roulette from Aldo. In all seriousness I heart IFB! If you get the chance to go an IFBcon, make like a Nike ad and just do it!

No I am not from Sweden I am just a little obsessed

If you want to know what a day in the life of the DMM team looks like it kind of looks like this. We just wish we were more Swedish in the way that we carried on. Scandinavians seem to have everything figured out, we wouldn't mind a tip or two... 

emmas, fantastic frank

DIY Friday

For this weeks DIY Friday my inspiration came from two pictures, which I find to be so beautiful and delicate. One is a picture of soft ballet themed garments and the other is a picture of Siri Tollerød. I think both of the pictures came from either Fydez or Holly's Tumblrs.. (I need to start writing this down).

The total cost of this DIY project is only about 18 dollars and it only involves scissors (a dream come true, no?).

On Thursday I stopped into H&M and picked up a sheer pink tank top for five dollars and a long sleeve shirt for twelve dollars. I bought them both a couple sizes too big so that the tank top would be long enough to be worn as a dress and the top would be loose enough to hang freely.

When I got back to my apartment I put the shirt on over the tank top and marked out where I wanted to make the cut with a pencil. I took the shirt off, I put it on the floor and made an even cut across. That is all!

 All photographs taken for this blog (unless otherwise stated) are taken by Jordan Romanoff. He is a lovely photographer (in fact his whole family is photography talented, you may have noticed both his Father's photographs and his sister Zan's photographs in our last issue) and his blog has pictures from coast to coast.

Spring/Summer look updated: Club Monaco Cashmere & Leopard Print Scarf

Yesterday when I was in Soho I bought this new cashmere jumper that was on sale at Club Monaco. I had never actually been to a Club Monaco I do not think. I am not going to lie it was Snejana/their lookbook that made me go into the store (also the fact that the temperature dropped and I was quite cold). I love the fit and how soft it is. It was my gift to myself.

I also bought this leopard print shawl from Bloomingdales, which is lovely because it unfolds into what seems like a small blanket. Also, if you know me you know that I have been in search for ages... maybe a year, for a leopard print scarf that I like. I am excited to say that I found it! With my two new lovely items I put together an outfit that I am excited to wear. It is pretty much the same as my summer time uniform from last summer but with a different pair of ankle boots.

Chic New York City Sunrise

New York at sunrise is probably one of my favorite times. I love the feeling of having the whole day ahead of you (which you get when you have slept). I wanted to greet the morning the proper way by showing off a brand new outfit that I threw together (rather sleepily). Thank you Jordan for coming with me to the top of your building.
Ps. Sorry for the blog trendy pictures of Jeffrey Campbell wedges I keep posting. It is just that they are honestly some of the most comfortable pairs of wedges I have ever owned (I recommend buying a pair for anybody who like wearing wedges).
