Let Lizards Eat Cake

Jun 01.11 / Jennifer Nicole

Sometimes I am taken by the care a fashion designer takes, not just with their wears, but with the photography they use to showcase them. So it is with VariousLoveAffairs.com, which I found through Smashing Darling, a site that Lindsay and I used to be addicted to but recently realized we have been neglecting. Poor [...]

Sonia Yoon, one half of the design team behind Bensoni,  is getting married in May, and when asked about her and Benjamin Channing Clyburn’s inspiration for their Fall 2011 line, they referenced nostalgia, and a passage into adulthood.  Since both are still in their twenties, “nostalgia” meant the nineties.

So, her shoes aren’t only affordable, but they’re adorable and, well, a little offbeat (which I love). I originally saw her on Online Shoes but [...]

Prodigous designer and house name Yves Saint Laurent died today in Paris at age 71. His memory, inspiration, and visions will live on. xoxo, YSL.
