golden girl

Yet another amazing set of photos from one of our favorite fashion photographers Saga Sig -- this time styled by the ever inspiring Gala Gonalez for Goldie London. I think we just died and went to burnout velvet/ floppy hat/ lace bell-bottom heaven.

Love,
Tess

soul sisters

Finally, our favorite vintage vixens, Sisters of the Black Moon, have launched an online shop featuring their own logo merchandise like these adorable crop tops as well as handmade treasures like crochet bell-bottoms and jewelry. We can't wait to snag some of their upcoming collaboration pieces with designers like Onward into the Future, Heyoka Leather, and Ghost Dancer.

happy when it rains

The debut collection of Montreal-based brand Ovate is a perfect combination of 90's goth and woodland priestess, so obviously we're all about it. We love the dark detailing of these handmade pieces, like the rune script printed down the center of the "Curse of Busula" dresses and tanks, the grim reaper illustration screened on the back of the "Grim Reaper" maxi dress, and the loose, irregular stitches of the many knit pieces. While unfortunately the collection won't be generally available until this September, a few select pieces are available for pre-order on their Etsy.

Love,
Tess

Probably my favorite American flag themed item yet -- The Cobrasnake x Irregular Choice Americana "Chica" Platform.

she's a rainbow

Topshop's new AW 2011 lookbook appears to be channeling The Stones circa "Their Satanic Majesties Request," and we are all about it. While we'll (sadly) probably hold off on the fur and shearling till the temperature drops, we're already getting a head start mixing our bold bohemian pieces with mod-inspired staples like oxfords and structured purses for summer.

fedora lovers

And.....we just added the violet one in our cart! These femme shades are a collaboration between Bec & Bridge x Akubra available for pre-order at The Grand Social.

she comes in colors

Loving the feel of this prism-bathed lookbook by one of our fave online shops Shampalove. We're totally down for mixing pastel hair and neon brights this summer. Plus that galaxy dress? To die for. Good thing Shampalove's prices are so damn reasonable, because it looks like we've got plenty of shopping to do. 

Love, 

Tess
