Hi! I wanted to share some new items that I have added to the shop since I've last posted on here. Keep your eyes peeled too because there's a truckload of additional items that I need to add/photograph, including something that I am really excited about.... Dripping Dream Vintage menswear! Woo!

Also are there any items that you particularly want me to add? Certain styles, colors, fabrics, etc that you are really into right now? Let me know and I will keep my eyes peeled during my next buy!

Anyone who knows me should not be surprised to hear the following statement: I freaking love Sonic Youth. They are probably my favorite band after Eric's Trip, who named themselves after a Sonic Youth song. I took a page from Eric's Trip and named my shop/blog after a Sonic Youth song too. I rest my case.

I think one of the reasons I love Sonic Youth so much is because of their epic bassist/vocalist, Kim Gordon. Kim was one of the first "cool girl musicians" that I really looked up to. She's a huge inspiration to me and definitely could be considered one of my all-time personal heroes. Thus, I thought it would be totes appropriate to devote a Style Icon post to her! Plus, did you know that Kim has started several of her own clothing lines including X-Girl in the mid 90s, Surface to Air in 2008 and Mirror/Dash for Urban Outfitters in 2009.


Below are some of my favorite Kim fashion statements and ways that you can get her look!

The Black and White Stripped Mini: Whenever I think of Kim Gordon's fashion choices, I always think of her in a black and white stripped mini dress probably because she wore on in the 90s a lot!). A dress like this is definitely a classic wardrobe staple and below are some links to ones that I found on the 'net. The one on the right is sequined (!!) too, which I feel Kim would be totes into.

Earlier today I was listening to the band Summer Camp and then was looking through their album covers and was really struck by how much I love the aesthetic of their early singles and EPs. There is something so romantic about the stock images from the '60s,'70s and '80s they use-they remind of old pictures of my parents when they were younger!





So I was looking at these covers and started coming up with so much outfit inspiration of looks I could wear with pieces I already own! Namely bell bottoms, bell sleeves, floral crop tops and maxi skirts and wooden clogs. Hopefully you will find some inspiration too!


Here are some new things that have been added to the shop lately!
