Everyone’s got their panties in a bunch over the soundtrack to The Man with the Iron Fists, and for good reason – the album, masterminded by the film’s writer-director, Wu Tang Clan frontman RZA, boasts exclusive tracks from a diverse group of artists ranging from Kanye West, to Wiz Khalifa, to The Black Keys, to … Read more

For the first time, e-tailer site Nasty Gal is launching an in-house collection AND it’s own magazine. Though the brand’s magazine, Super Nasty, won’t be out until September, I’m pretty sure their debut collection will tie you over until then. The eclectic collection of bold prints, exaggerated fringe, sexy black mesh, and tough combat boots reflect … Read more
Introducing Latitude Supply Co., Where East Meets West
Quality coastal menswear with an urban flair? I’ve been superrrrr into menswear lately since moving to LA, and for good reason – the fact that guys dress so differently on the West Coast has piqued my interest in this particular aspect of the industry, urging me to take a closer look.

Warrior Princess
I know I’m not the only Game of Thrones fan out there, and I know I’m not the only girl that digs Daenerys Targaryen’s wardrobe.

Listen To: Iggy Azalea
Broken record: I LOVE hip-hop; this includes everything from old school head-banging N.W.A. to the twisted lyrical modernism of Tyler the Creator. While we’re on the subject, I want to express my utmost respect for female rappers who must take massive risks to earn respect in a certain section of the music industry that remains social and … Read more
