Gimme Shelter by the Rolling Stones has been stuck in my head for days. I know it’s no Dude Looks Like a Lady, but it’s still a great song. It also reminded me of Mick Jagger’s jumpsuit collaboration with my favorite vintage designer, Ossie Clark. I’ve mentioned that Mick wore Ossie clothes but never posted…

The rage for studs is still going strong. (Am I the only one not attempting a DIY “Balmain” blazer?) Of course, this isn’t the first time around for the studded look. Check out this 1990 Moschino leather jacket, just sold atA Katy Kane Vintage & Couture Clothing for $975. Front Back
’80s Hair Club for Musical Men
Limahl from Kajagoogoo was good. Limahl David Sylvian from Japan was better. David Sylvian John Taylor from Duran Duran was best.

Pining for Pimm’s at Harrods

The Pen Is Pinker Than the Sword

More Todd Oldham for Two Bloggers
After I posted on the recent unemployment of designer Todd “La-Z-Boy” Oldham, gorgeous blogger Miss Cavendish mentioned she was looking for an early ’90s Vogue cover that showed Todd’s Western look.

Doing It Bloggy Style

Thumbelina sticks to exquisite, high-quality pieces that are elegantly assembled even on casual…
