We’ve already pledged our allegiance to button-up shirts, but, as we’ve come to find, there seem to be a set number of ways to wear ‘em and we’ve begun to exhaust our options. We’ve been seeing more and more instances of ladies pulling off (or, not pulling off, according to some) the half-untucked shirt. Some of us think that...
Spring Bags →

Pensamientos al azar. Pensar solo por pensar. Estoy aqui conmigo y tu contigo. Quien eres? Quien fuiste? No puedo dormir. Veo por mi ventana y las estrellas no descansan. Los recuerdos decidieron ofrecerme un concierto. Calla, no hables, no te muevas, no respires…solo escucha. Escucha los violines acariciando tu cabello, la flauta susurrandote un secreto, el piano erizando tu piel, las...
Wearing Shorts in Winter →
By: Connie Wang
It might be because we’re loathe to get rid of anything, even for just a few months at a time, but we love the idea of wearing our seasonal pieces even if it’s unseasonal (and a little inappropriate) to do. For example, our love affair with shorts runs deep and true, and we can’t bear to pack ‘em away when cold weather hits. But really, there’s no...

Badass Beauties: Boxing Kitten Goes Vintage Vixen... →
By: Taylor Starr
Boxing Kitten had us at “Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!”—the so-bad-it’s-good 1965 cult film about three buxom beauties in fast cars that served as inspiration for the brand’s spring ‘11 collection. One glance at their lookbook, and we were sold. Designer Maya Amina Lake’s line takes classic silhouettes, from the fun and flattering peplum skirt...
Dejar, Dejarte, Volver a Dejar
ejar de alimentar tu deseos carnales.
Dejar de enfrentar mis miedos y darme por vencida.
Dejar de buscar una explicación.
Dejar de recapacitar que fue lo que hicimos mal.
Dejar de respirar tu cuerpo contaminado.
Dejar de soñar con el presente.
Dejar de arañar las paredes de mi conciencia.
Dejar enterrados tus recuerdos.
Dejar olvidados tus besos.
Dejar abiertas mis heridas.
Dejar...
