Blog Love: The Man Repeller

New Yorker Leandra Medine is one of the funniest and smartest fashion bloggers currently out there. Her blog The Man Repeller is about (as she puts it):

Outfitting oneself in a sartorially offensive way that will result in repelling members of the opposite sex. Such garments include but are not limited to harem pants, boyfriend jeans, overalls (see: human repelling), shoulder pads, full length jumpsuits, jewelry that resembles violent weaponry and clogs.’

And may I just add that I am clearly clueless on what repels men? Clogs and shoulder pads UNattractive? I mean..

PS: Even the Copyright Infringement notice on the bottom of her blog is funny as hayl (but also a little bit intimidating so I politely added photo creds!):

DON’T STEAL MY BRAIN JUICE WITHOUT CREDITING ME, I OWN THIS SHIT. UNLESS YOU WANT ME TO SUE YOU. IN WHICH CASE, THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR FACILITATING MY OWNERSHIP OVER THE ENTIRE PROENZA SCHOULER S/S 2010 COLLECTION. I’M STILL NOT OVER IT.

PPS: Leandra was also featured on The Coveteur last month!

Style icons: The Golden Girls

Upon inspecting my outfit, my boyfriend recently informed me that I resembled a Golden Girl. Now, I’m not sure whether he actually meant that as a compliment, but I just went ahead and took it as one. We already established the awesomeness of The Golden Girls anyway.

Gold accessories AND backcombed hairdo’s AND shoulder pads? I THINK SO!! Enjoy.

Vice Magazine: Mexican Madness

The March fashion issue of Vice Magazine featured two articles on cah-razy Mexican fashions: botas vaqueras exóticas (apparently, they even dance in these babies) and ‘Cholombian’ hairstyles. I wonder if Tim Gunn would approve?
