Alexander Wang. Runway or DIY?

It's pretty undeniable that Alexander Wang has become a household name and one seriously rock star young designer. His latest show has plenty of new covet-ables, my favorites being the shoes and the bags. I can't help but notice the similarities in the heeled boots of the last photo looking remarkably like all the punk rock witch boots I used to wear. I've been searching for a pair rather desperately for over a year now. What do you like? How can you re-create this on a shoe string budget? I'm working on some DIY solutions myself...

Whooooeeeeee!

So courtesy of another blogger (platinumevil), I discovered a fantastic new designer named Khoi Le. She designs bags, accessories, amazing fringe spats, and more. Truly talented, and also TRULY low priced. I forsee this won't be a permanent condition however, as there's really no reason why these designs wouldn't instantly fit in with the merchandise on pixie market or opening ceremony. My suggestion to you, my dears, is to snap this stuff up as soon as you can before this shit blows up, because it will, trust me. Love love love the bag I've ordered. I'll shoot more pics as soon as I get it in the mail.

A Fendi Bag Says Goodbye To SWC's

For those of you who haven't been watching the boutique, we recently sold a vintage 1970's barrel large Fendi handbag for 340.00 US dollars! Cheers to the lucky winner, and also to the lovely ladies who won Paper Denim Cloth and Earnest Sewn white jeans; perfect for summer, a fantastic Damned Young, Hot, Loud, and Stiff tee, Rock & Republic sunnies, Juicy Couture aviator sunnies, Lux crocheted flutter hem sweater, Irregular Choice vintage heels, and some awesome vinyl records. (Shout out to Tim, winner of the Guided By Voices offshoot Tropic Of Nipples EP!)
Keep watching the shop! More incredible designer and vintage finds to come, and of course a TON more records! Thanks everyone! We love you!

Shock Treatment.

Those that know me IRL know that I'm completely obsessed, and have been forever, with Charles Baudelaire. Those who don't, CB was a French poet/opium addict/red wine consuming weirdo who had strange mistresses and one of the most subversive and daring written voices of his time. I finally got his poem L'Ennemi tattooed from my underarm to my hipbone, about 4 and a 1/2 inches in width. Can I tell you that it took 6 hours and I went into shock? Well worth it. Plus, Paulie at Glen's Tattoo Shop in Chapel Hill is my new favorite. Love him. So nice through the whole thing, attention to detail, courteous, and never once was a prick about the whole no shirt thing. I'll post some pics of the final product later today.

so. damn. good.

F--K THE CLOCK.

Oh, Patti Smith. Sometimes I just have to quietly reflect on her ridiculous, balls to the wall, aggressive yet poetic romantic genius. Thanks, PS.
