Take a striped shirt.

Pair with fitted black or blue jeans.

Add flats the same color as the shirt (and a different color than the jeans).

Pair with cute solid-colored handbag and bold lipstick.

Ta-da!

You are no longer cursing your closet.

Thanks, Ash.

If you haven’t already, we suggest you get to know Zulu Winter immediately.

These Londoners and our GL favorites are riding on a wave of hype (not to mention some serious talent), and they’ve just dropped the new video for their single “We Should Be Swimming.”

The film shows a darker side to the upbeat-sounding track, and it’s only a sneak peek at what this all-dude quintet has to offer.

So watch it above, listen to more here, and keep your ears open for lots more Zulu Winter.

There’s the Bliss “Naked” body butter.

Now, there’s “I Am Naked” perfume.

Courtesy of “emotionally resonant” fragrance company I Am Scents, the smell is a blend of violet, melon, and metal (yes, really) designed to smell-yep- like a body.

It’s an interesting idea, but it seems a little counter-intuitive.

After all, isn’t the point of perfume to smell like something different than how you normally smell?

Check it out at Urban Outfitters and let us know if you’d wear it.

The artist and cartoonist has taken some of the most recognizable TV hotspots and transformed them into a illustrated road trip in his new exhibition Unreal Estate.

Featuring everything from Bluth’s Frozen Banana stand on Arrested Development to The Simpsons’ staple Kwik-E-mart to even famous stops on Sesame Street, it’s the coolest concept we’ve seen in a while.

Tim, next time can you do the locations on Boardwalk Empire? Or Bored to Death? Or Shameless? So many options….

See the exhibit at San Francisco’s Spoke Art Gallery.

Fashion designer Jeremy Scott has teamed up with Adidas to create this killer pair of sneakers- and we have to admit, his latest might be our absolute favorite.

The JS Wings Sneakers 2.0 come in two different colors (blue for your right foot, red for your left), and take patriotism to a stylish new level.

Formed from soft white leather stamped with stars and stripes, these high-tops are super fly – literally.

The wings on these kicks are so badass, they might lift you away.

Available now at Opening Ceremony.

What about this month?

Well, thanks to Spin, we’re gonna let you hear the whole damn thing.

Officially out on February 24th, the aptly titled Interstellar is a cosmic quest in synthetic pop.

In short, it’s really really good.

(Listen to it here!)

In case you’ve blocked it out,
let us remind you that Valentine’s Day is officially one week away.

No, this does not mean you should run the streets in a mini skirt in search of love.

But if you happen to have a new beau…
And you’re totally stumped on what to get him…
Nerd Valentine is here to save the day!

From hipster temporary tattoos to red ear-buds,
this tumblr is dedicated entirely to helping you find the perfect v-day gift.

In this shot, she appears to be hiding from the paparazzi/a frenemy/ stalker ex by staking out in a conference room.

But, then again, she could also be:

a.) taking refuge from the cops

b.) snagging the “Meeting in Progress” sign for her collection of knick knacks (it might look good on her bedroom wall).

c.) having realized that people will pay big bucks for celebrity stuff, she’s going to sell it on eBay.

What else?!

See the entire lookbook here.

These distressed jeans are “rock ‘n’ roll inspired glamour”, which apparently means charging $1,065 for a faded wash and slashes that you could inflict on your own pair of well-worn skinnies for no money at all.

We’re wondering a) how the jeans cost less than the tee, and b) who will actually shell out the thousand bucks for pre-ripped denim?

Any ideas? Tell us in the comments!
