Alphonse Mucha was born on July 24th, 1860 in what is now the Czech Republic. His skilled ability to sing stood out in his younger years but drawing was always his number one hobby. His distinct style is heavily influenced by neoclassicism and is completely unmistakable — although many have tried to replicate his fantastical [...]

I am so ready to bust out my vintage swimsuits and with a margarita on the rocks in hand. What do you say ladies? These beauties will be a staple to all my diverse summer assemblages: Garden Variety in yellow by Poetic Licence. ~ Tiare

Dear Cyndi Lauper, First I want to start by saying that you, above anyone else, had the greatest impact on my personal style and I’d like to give you a shout out for that! In 1985 I was 10yrs old and in the 5th grade and I thought you were the absolute coolest thing I [...]

My newest, coolest musical find: Nigeria Rock Special: Psychedelic Afro-Rock & Fuzz Funk In 1970′s Nigeria. I stumbled upon this awesome, weird, funky, freshness recently and just had to share. It’s a compilation CD of 1970’s fuzz funk from Nigeria, Africa. I kept hearing this song in rotation on my husbands ITunes (Track #12 “Freaking [...]

Dear Traci Lords, I was just thinking about how you had the perfect hair and a great look in Cry Baby. Now, I realize this was a LONG time ago and a stylist/costume designer probably had a lot to do with this. But, you were AWESOME in that movie! When I was looking for photos [...]

Our recently acquired Adina Mills Designhouse rings are the long awaited perfection which I have been eagerly searching for in what has become the urban naturalist wearable art revolution. [...]

I recently discovered Dolly Vardens, a traveling coffee shop based in Brisbane, Australia. I read an interview with owner Vanessa Hall on shinelittlebiz and immediately fell in love with her style and panache! The fact that she operates her coffee shop out of a 1969 trailer is cool enough, but add on the fact that [...]

I’ve recently been getting into United States of Tara on Netflix. Toni Collette won numerous awards, including a 2010 Emmy, for her role(s) on this show. Her character has dissociative identity disorder (aka multiple personalities) so she played more characters in this one show than many actors play in an entire year! I couldn’t help [...]
