WATCH: Guy pour Homme
Dior has the fashion film down. Sexy actor? Check. Hot director? Check. Mysterious dialogue with Frenchie title? Double check. Plus all the Eiffel Tower trolling, Aston Martin driving, Parisian Hotel staying you could ask for—we get it, Jude Law smells really good.
STYLIST: Hat Tricks
We’re happy to report that hats will continue to be a big player this fall. In the past year we saw the shapes changing—girls moving away from the safety of the fedora into the more edgy waters of the straw boater and the bowler. The tricky thing with the hat is that if it’s not [...]
SHOP: IRO!
French import IRO was a Shine shop perennial favorite. We loved the mix of bohemian meets Mad Max. Everything had that just-right slouch, color and silhouette. This season’s looks are as cool as ever—the perfect weekend wear or for those whose lives don’t exist in the boardroom—but even if it does, these pieces are so [...]
SHOP: Rodebjer at U.O.!
Good news! Our favorite Swedish designer from our former life as a boutique, Rodebjer, can now be found at Urban Outfitters. Carin Rodebjer’s fall collection looks absolutely amazing and true to her roots; spot-on silhouettes, forward but not too trendy, fun but never quirky. Her modern shapes never tire or go out of style—they become [...]
INSPIRE: She’s a (really rich, eccentric) lady.
You’ll hear and read this a million times this season but I’ll say it anyway–this fall is all about the classics (Camel coats! Minimalist gray shifts!). These timeless photos of Jackie remind me of what we’re seeing right now from Chloé, Marc Jacobs, Gucci, Hermés, et al. When making your choices for the upcoming season, [...]
SHOP: Shöes, ja!
We’ve always loved the Swedes here at Shine–especially in terms of fashion. Rodebjer, Dagmar, Acne, Hasbeens all hail from Sweden, and from what we’re seeing this fall, their influence and leadership is in full force. Further evidence of steam gathering–Rodebjer just announced it’s now available at Urban Outfitters and all of my favorite shoes this [...]
SHOP: Can I wear you now, please?
I’m not sure if I love everything by Duskin this fall because it all looks like perfection in my fantasy Parisian apartment, or because it’s exactly what I want to put on my bod this fall/winter. Gorgeous. Grown up. Modern. Beautiful. From their FW/10 Lookbook:
INSPIRE: Unattainable
Unattainable is what fall seems to be right now. A world away. It’s hot. It’s August. What can you do. Little Joy feels like fall to me and Binki Shapiro’s voice reminds me of that crisp snap in the air and the smell of wood burning in a fireplace. If only for a moment. It’s [...]
INSPIRE: Sofia
Classic, cool and lovely. I love what Marc Jacobs said recently in InStyle magazine about her and his atypical vision of beauty: “What matters more (than age) are people who are interested in the variety of life and exploring the life outside their comfort zone. People like Sofia Coppola are representative of this spirit. She [...]
INSPIRE: Good Lookin’

SHOP: Love Pamela
Pamela Love‘s geometry-meets-mythology brass necklaces have me wanting to build diaphanous outfits around them and release the Kraken. Love draws inspiration from “nature, music and magic” to create smart pieces with a refined edge. The Picado Cuff has been an editor’s favorite and standout in the collection- a little Wonder Woman a little Day of [...]
INSPIRE: Freja
According to UK Vogue, Danish born model Freja Beja Erichsen has appeared in over 40 autumn/winter runway collections in 2010. By the end of this year we will expect her to be known as just ‘Freja’. At 17 she was already 5’9″ and discovered by a modeling agent on the streets of Copenhagen– it was [...]
INSPIRE: Stylish Living
Alexa Chung photographed by Béatrice de Géa in her home. Love the flag (somehow this seems cooler than, say, an American flag would, right? Or is it just me…), bed unapologetically on the floor, the pretty strand of white bulb lights, and the art and photos propped up against the exposed brick wall. Oh, and [...]
INSIDER: Where the boys are.
It was a fun day in NY, which is in the midst of Men’s Market, so we took a peek at Spring 2011 (believe it) at the always fresh & forward Capsule Show in Chelsea. Our favorites today were Grahame G. Fowler, Billy Reid, Kitsuné and Henrik Vibskov from Copenhagen but mostly we just liked [...]
INSPIRE: Golden Pieces
Editor of one of my favorite magazines, Russh, as photographed by Jak & Jil. Yeah, the lighting is perfect, but those clothes! The details! Drool. Source. Contributor: Dana Covit
INSPIRE: Boundless Summer
The heat is out of control, I’ve no air conditioning. Retreat to daydreaming! Photo Sources: Cherry Blossom Girl, Chat Bananas, Create Build Destroy, Dossier Journal Contributor: Dana Covit
INSIDER: Young Love.
We’ve got a big crush on Young Lovers- a limited edition tee co. out of Australia. Hard to find, but seen on Cool Hunter, Sartorialist and Tokion, these cuties wanted to ‘get Young Lovers into the hands of the people’- so they’ve built a new US headquarters and easy access webstore. Luke, Y.L.’s director, talked [...]
