I spotted Shannon Sinclair’s Polaroids via my friend and favorite model Ethan James’ Facebook page, and her blog ‘Crush Me Tender’ chronicles off duty models in Polaroid form (real Polaroids, not an iPhone app). She uses a lot of warping to the photos, which I’m totally into. Check out her site to see a bunch of awesome photos, and she’s also snapping off duty models in NYC for Lookbooks.com!

So I know I’m not usually the one writing the ‘On The List’ posts, but I was in LA last week hanging out with Lucas Logan and you all know that we just had to get some events in while I was there. Friday we headed to the Moods of Norway store on Robertson in Los Angeles for some afternoon cocktails and waffles, and to check out their new spring line. The sparkling Sake was a great touch to all of the bright colors, light music, and painted tractors. Check out the video we made of the store, with a little commentary here and there to the lines. Check out the Moods of Norway site to see more of their stuff, and find out where you can shop!

Love shredded tees but too afraid/untalented/lazy to make one yourself? Tatiana and the crew at Supadupa Vintage are recycling old tshirts to create AMAZING (and even more amazingly affordable) shredded tees, available online, and at Wasteland and Virgo Boutique. Like any of my new found best friends, I discovered these lovely people on the internet (Myspace actually, okay don’t make fun of me), and ever since they have been picking up SERIOUS steam. We’ve been lucky enough to get a couple of their Kukoon tees for a giveaway, one of which is the same seen on Kim Kardashian!
Before I leak the details to the giveaway, check out what SDVTG is all about!

FASHIONINDIE: How’d you turn your DIY addiction into a business?
SDVTG: I washed a vintage t shirt that had a couple holes in them and it looked pretty neat! some of the holes made like this shredding effect and i decided to go about it there! and made a beautiful long shredded tunic for myself! I cannot say the “secret” on how to do it but I just decided to take my shirt out a night out of town and everyone loved it including my friends so that’s when I thought well why not make some to sell and let it be part of Supadupa Vintage’s first design collection, since it was just an Ebay store! and that’s how it came about 
FI: How’d you come up with the idea for these one of a kind, recycled and distressed tees?
SDVTG: Pretty much since our store is all about re-selling vintage pieces that are reconstructed or just an amazing vintage piece! I decided that why not instead of using new tees make them all with recycled vintage tees! And it is the same concept and well i guess you can say its an eco-friendly line with an edge.
FI: Do you do all the custom shredding yourself? (how on earth long does that take?!)
About opening a store hmm not right now! But we are trying to sell to more stores internationally! We might have our t shirt in mexico we are not sure yet but we are in the works. wasteland clothing just got our tees and already made another order, we are super excited! We also just heard that we are on Marie Claire magazine on page 40.

A friend referred me to David Alexander’s site, and on viewing his collections I fell in love with the fur, leather, mesh, studs, jewels, and all of my favorite things compiled into one fashion show. Once I began to speak with David, I found his quirky, enthusiastic and overly creative personality absolutely thrilling, and had to share it with you.
Here’s a little anecdote that got me hooked on David straight away:
So my friend Susan calls me and says ” your gonna be so mad at me.” and as I put down my Playstation controller and jogged over to my computer I see this email and I’m like…..who is that, and she goes “Well I dunno, but she is prolly never gonna buy another skirt from you or Curve again..” and Im like omg omg did i fudge up and the skirt zipper was broke because I do pride myself on an 100% usa made quality product…”She goes well I saw her in the skirt and I freaked out and ran over and I was lil drunk and I sort of shook her cause I was in the gold one and was like OMG OMG my friend made these arent they great”….So basically if you buy my clothes in NY and a crazy beautiful woman runs over to you its my friend Susan haha I cant be mad she is just all about my designs and gives me so much support.
I was also lucky enough to hear from David on a few questions that I asked:

This tee is one of a few limited edition reprints currently for sale in 410 BC’s online shop. In case you missed it the first time it was around, it features photographs of the 5 Bouroughs making up NYC (Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Staten Island)…all of the guys and girls sizes are still left, so make sure you get them before they’re gone! This tee will NOT be restocked once it’s out (well, until the next run of limited edition reprints)…don’t miss out, plus it’s only $28 which is a total steal!

Aside from the earrings, this is a great look! That green is an underused color, and a very cute style of coat. Plus the sunglasses and the BOOTS my god, the boots.
