New Jay-Z

Jay-Z's new video for "Forever Young".

Is it weird for me to say how much I love the lighting in this video?

Meanwhile, Mr. Hudson's voice is the butter to my toast, with an accent.

Happy Christmahannukwanzaakah!

p.s. this IS the song of the day.

Improv Everywhere

My new favorite thing/idea/concept that I find to be absolutely amazing/hilarious/ingenious.

It's called Improv Everywhere and it's a group that "causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places. Created in August of 2001 by Charlie Todd, Improv Everywhere has executed over 100 missions involving tens of thousands of undercover agents. The group is based in New York City."

My favorite one (amongst the most recent) is Where's Rob?

I find the whole idea so amazing in it's non-disturbance. Does that make sense? What I'm trying to say is that all of these "pranks" are in good-natured fun and aren't meant to upset or disturb anyone, which is why they are so great. They're well thought-out events for people who need a good story to tell at the dinner table, perhaps accompanied by some visual evidence (there seem to be lots of people with camera phones and other image-capturing trinkets for visual keep-saking in the videos).

Speaking of shadez...

Check out the Vintage Frames Company, they have some of the rarest and dopest eye wear ever. Oh, and they're based in Montreal (*wink!). I love that city.

Seriously though, the sunglasses are amazing and he has - or seems to have, anyway - every pair of awesome eye-wear imaginable, in every color.

Two snaps and a circle!

Bad-Ass StevieBoi

Stevie Boi makes some amazing-looking accessories, apparel and hater-blockers. I am mostly hypnotized by the shades though, as you may have been able to tell. They're KICK ASS, BAD ASS, SICK AS[S]!

Song of the day: Sirkka by Fear of Tigers

Amazing.

Emily Eisen, NY. First assistant to Nicola Formichetti.

CAN WE TALK ABOUT the coolest headband ever? - I hope she doesn't get into a headbutting fight with anyone though...

Song of the day: Dead Disco Dancer (The Golden Filter Remix) by O.Children

I can't wait for this.

Enough said.

I WOULD love this

Silvery gray color: perfect

Tight fit with long sleeves & not-too-long, not-too-short: perfect

Shoulder details: priceless.

The dress is H&M and I lurve it mucho. I think I'd wear it with some black tights and some black high-heeled booties - like THESE (I die for those).

Obsessed!

p.s. I'm looking for some tights with a seam up the back that stops mid-hamstring with a big bow. It's like THIS, but not on the side and slightly more classy and also like THIS, but tights, not hold ups. Anyone?

p.p.s. song of the day: "Belong" by Washed Out
