Indies to Watch: The Black Keys

Edited by Hilary Price

I LOVE THE BLACK KEYS. The psychedelic duo encompass soul, rock and folk. Though it sounds like a rough musical experiment, the Black Keys have mastered their multifaceted funky style. Their producer D.J “Danger Mouse”, also known as the counterpart to Gnarles Barkley, has ensured once again added his Midas touch to this collection of quality music. I am enamored with DangerMouse, so subsequently checked out The Black Keys. Each song has a distinct sound yet The Black Keys maintain a quirky continuity.

I basically drool over The Keys. The single thing I love most is their originality. Lately, artists have put themselves in a box, so it is hard to find a musical talent who takes risks. This band has filled my void. The Ohio natives enable easy listening. Simply, The Black Keys are wonderfully unpredictable. The Keys took a slight hiatus but thankfully have returned. Attack and Release is their newest album. The newest cuts are better than ever.

If not, Check out ”Psychotic Girl” and “Strange Times.” You’ll get hooked. Trust me. 

After a Bioterrorist Experiment Goes Wrong, Jovovich-Hawk Are Attacked by Flesh Eating ZOMBIES!!!

Edited by Hilary Price

She looks hungry… for BRAINS!!!!

Just kidding. Unfortunately, there is graver news to infiltrate the fashion rumor mill. Jovovich-Hawk is no longer a clothing line! According to Lucky, the quintessential downtown chic line has dissolved. Although, the line has only been around for five years, the brand had a huge following. Their flirty frocks and chic designs made fashionistas everywhere adore them. Grab the cute clothes while you can! Milla Jovovich further explains the end of her line in September’s issue of Lucky magazine. This is a sad day for Hawk, but not for Jovovich who can return to kick zombie ass in poorly directed flicks for the better of her years.   R.I.P Jovovich-Hawk

Trendspark: Wavy Hair

Edited by Hilary Price

         Summer may be winding down but that’s no reason to get rid of those romantic beach waves! Maintain and put a spin on the waviness throughout Fall. This look is flattering on all types. Whether remaining casual with friends or spending a night out, waves are the perfect way to achieve a relaxed whimsical vibe.

          Wavy hair is attainable, even if you have not been born with romantic ringlets.  Simply use a curling iron of the size you desire; bigger iron for the curlier side and thinner for the straighter side. Then, break up the curls with your fingers, to create a definitive wavy look. Be sure to use hairspray! The luscious look is fantastically unique amongst the ubiquitous straight style. The trend is cute yet sultry. Which wavy look is for you?   

Thanks to Elle for the fantastic images!

Eye “Popping” Covers

Edited by Hilary Price

Fashion forward magazine, Pop, has created six amazing Fall issue covers.  Also similar to Italian Vogue, Pop features women of color. Each cover features a different iconic model: Jourdan Dunn, Naomi Campbell, Agyness Deyn, Oluchi Onweagba, Natalia Vodianova and Amber Valletta grace the covers, in Prada. The issue pays homage to the 80′s era and moreover the fabulousness of 80′s fashion culture. The culmination of stunning supermodels and love for Studio 54 should make this issue it’s best yet! Pick up a copy!

TrendSpark: Ombre

Edited by Hilary Price

This past year, ombre has been prevalent in women’s clothing, specifically dresses. Lately, a new trend has come to the forefront: male ombre. The trend has transitioned into a unisex style. While, I didn’t think I would like male ombre, the Alexander McQueen blazer is gorgeous. Yet, I also think this trend can go terribly wrong. What do you think Indies? Pretty boy or pansy?

Trendspark: Super Scrunchy Boots

Edited by Hilary Price

Boots have always been in style. However, this fall will see a recreation of the simple boot. Slouchy and scrunchy boots have hit the runway. From Balenciaga to Givenchy, this trend is evident. It has a relaxed street chic element yet maintains a refined quality. These boots would pair perfectly with a dress or fall peacoat. If you want to make a statement, pick up a pair!
