Retrosuperfuture: Super Name, Cooler Shades

Jessica Lapidos — Tue, 26 Jul 2011 12:03:02 +0000

There’s a funk quartet somewhere in world kicking themselves for not snatching this name sooner. Retrosuperfuture, therefore, makes sunglasses. And they make them just how it sounds they would: they take classic shapes we know and twist ‘em through time. Take a look:

They’ve taken wayfarers and made them way fairer. These iridescent lenses are $180.

Etro’s Suede & Snakeskin Clutch is a Spring Must-Have

Amanda Gabriele — Tue, 08 Mar 2011 18:53:20 +0000

This Etro clutch is so chic, it’s ridiculous. Like something you would find at a charming thrift store without the possibility of stains and lining tears, the retro pattern is stitched together with colorful suede and grand snakeskin. A scalloped edge is a thoughtful touch, as if it was starving for thought and attention to begin with. A detachable gold chain is handy for nights you don’t want to keep track of your things with insurmountable amounts of energy. It comes down to this: if you’re looking for an evening bag sans glitzy embellishment as I am, behold our new obsession.

You can grab this clutch for $1,350 on Net-a-Porter.

Drew Barrymore looks better and better as the years go by. At least when she cleans up and dresses like a grown up. Here she is hosting a party for Nylon magazine. It was supposed to be a celebration of denim, though from the photos I've seen no one was actually wearing jeans. The event was attended by luminaries such as Peaches Gledof, Carmen Electra and Stephanie Pratt, so whatever. Back to Drew Barrymore, I love her retro look here, even if the hairstyle makes you wonder about the shape of her skull:

Olivia Palermo showed off her dark Summer tan and a fabulous outfit at the Markus Lupfer presentation in Berlin. The City star remains, in my opinion, one of the baddest bitches on TV. Love her look.

Dazed and Confused

Lauren Garroni — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 18:29:38 +0000

Whenever I see, shorts and shorts and Converse I think of the movie Dazed and Confused. If you haven’t seen the film-it’s a bout teens in the 1970′s driving around Texas and getting hammered. Here are two retro pieces that are always in style.

Beach Chic-Part Duex

Lauren Garroni — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 16:37:53 +0000

Gap has kind of been hit and miss over the last decade, but it seems to be getting cooler thanks to new creative director Patrick Robinson. I’m currently obsessed with this retro-beach chic look. It’s so 1950′s with the polka-dots. It’s a great outfit for the beach or a night out afterwards. All you have to do is pair this with a high waisted skirt and you’ve got an evening look. And the best part is it’s only 42 bucks!
