Take me back to the sea side

Having recenty hammered through David Simon's gripping US TV series, The Wire, (absolute must see), which portrays guns, gangs and general urban decay in Balitmore, I am naively bemused as to how such a gentle and dreamy sound has emerged from the streets of Baltimore. - The Beach House; heres a few tracks from their new album 'Teen Dream' out now.

SUPERNATURAL

It appears everything we read/watch at the moment has been vamped up. Where did this vampire and supernatural obsession wave come from? and more importantly how can we wear it??



FASHION JUST GOT VISCOUS

DOMINIC JONES has burst onto the scene with his fiesty jewellery collections that have quickly gained a cult celebrity following. Looking at his work it is not surprising to learn that queen of punk, Alice Dellal is not only modelling the colections but is actually his partner in the business.
She wolf Shakira?







However, a more practical approach: DARK LIPS- keep eyes light and subtle to avoid achieving a witch-esque look.
An instant way to vamp up those uninspired get ups.. done.
