ATTN: Music Junkies
Check out our exclusive premiere of the latest from ENCORE! Session’s concert series.
Made possible by creative collaborator ABSOLUT® and produced by </FORWAR:D>,
the mini-movie was shot at Le Baron Chinatown and features the band Little Dragon.
Watch the video above and lookout for Little Dragon’s new song “Sunshine,”
which we can’t stop listening to.
While wishing for a glimpse of sun through today’s dark sky, we stumbled upon pool floats that satisfy junk food and sunshine cravings, simultaneously.
The floats, shaped like a hot pretzel and a donut, are a quirky addition for any pool party or lounging around with a good book. You can also pretend you’re Lindsey and Frida posing for this season’s Mulberry campaign which is how we’ll approach it, and rightfully so.
The sweet and savory treats are available on Fred Flare and Urban Outfitters, respectively, and will make waiting that hour to swim after you eat so much easier.
Now, if only we had the rest of the Mulberry collection to make our summer plans come full circle…
– JOELLE HYMAN
Swedish Has-Beens may have inspired a trend, at least in terms of their moniker.
Introducing Ancient Greek Sandals, a range of shoes with aesthetic roots in the land of Aphrodite and John Stamos.
There are a few designs hitting Net-a-Porter today, but our favorite (obviously) is this one with gold winged ankles.
Reminiscent of Jeremy Scott’s classic kicks for Adidas, these sandals are incredibly cute and kind of perfect if you’re favorite Disney heroine is Meg from <i>Hercules.</i> (She’s so underrated, right?!)
The shoes debut today for $245. We also fully endorse making your own golden wings and attaching them to your favorite pair of sandals with a hot glue gun – as long as you take a lesson from Icarus and don’t actually fly…
It’s only Monday, but Taylor Swift might already be having the Best Week Ever.
She got top marks last night as Billboard’s Woman of the Year (see our favorite looks from the night here) and gets a big gold star from us for this pre-awards coffee-run getup.
Taylor paired her iced coffee with an equally cool front-tied shirt and dusty mustard shorts.
She amped up the casual look with a matte red lip and the perfect 60′s California-girl cat eye shades.
Tie up one of dad’s old button-ups, add a crimson pout and Taylor’s Elizabeth & James ‘Benedict’ shades for $185 and you’ve got the look, but beware:
you’ll need to master the T. Swift “surprised-face” when you’re inundated with compliments on your next coffee run.
Yesterday in LA, artist Tyler Shields presented “Mouthful,” a multimedia exhibit featuring his photographs and installation art pieces. Sponsored by A/X Armani Exchange and benefitting Love Is Louder, an organization for LGBT marriage rights, the opening hosted actresses Emma Roberts and Brittany Snow. We love them both, but Christa B. Allen seemed to steal the show (literally) by posing inside Shields’ installation. (Marina Abramovic, look out!)
While normally reserved for statues of bulls on Wall street, or excavators in Katowice, or even entire barn houses in Oregon, we are down-right smitten today to announce the utterly unprecedented opportunity to attain an original installation from one of contemporary art’s most curious little treasures — Olek– as she has done the unthinkable and transformed one of Hendrick’s Artist’s Boxes into a one-of-a-kind, crochet masterpiece! One which you may win with a mere swipe of your keys.
“A loop after a loop. Hour after hour her madness becomes crochet. Life and art are inseparable.”
Olek was born Agata Oleksiak in Poland and graduated from Adam Mickiewicz University with a degree in cultural studies. In New York, she rediscovered her ability to crochet and, since then, has started her crocheted journey. Olek believes she chose crocheting as her artistic method to be able to do two things at once: to watch movies and make art.
Résumé sniffers may be pleased to know Olek’s work has been presented in galleries from Brooklyn to Harlem, to Istanbul to Venice, Poland and Brazil, featured in The New York Times, Fiberarts Magazine, The Village Voice, and The Washington Post and drags a tail of dance performance sets and costumes too numerous to mention. Her work changes from place to place. With a miner’s work ethic, she longs to delve deeper and deeper into her investigations.

“Hey Faran,
Check out the local street art in Kathmandu, Nepal…
It’s constantly changing and gives me something to enjoy on my way to work everyday!
I might snap a few more and send them your way.
–Susan Greathouse.”
This is amazing – we’ve never had anyone submit from Nepal before!
If you have graffiti (from anywhere, not just historic corners of Asia), share it on the blog!
Email faran@nylonmag.com with your photos.
Most bugs would have us calling (fine, crying) for someone else to “step on it!!!” but these new bug boards from Element are something we could totally stomp on.
The Canadian maple boards are small enough to fit in a backpack, come in a range of shapes, cool spotted neons and will have you rollin’ with the homies all summer for $110.
So go ahead, step on it!
According to Wikipedia, “Liz Lemon was born on October 14, 1970.”
Which means today is NOT Liz Lemon’s birthday.
But because it IS in fact Tina’s birthday,
we thought the video above would still be appropriate.
Happy Birthday, Tina! xoxo, NYLON
