Mata Hari

I don't where, when and how, but I'm gonna get me some balloon pants.

Okay, so I lie.

I'll probably get them at Jonathan + Olivia or in Europe (coming up in a few months!), before the summer is up and with the funds in my bank account (duh, of course).

Brit stylist Lainey Sheridan-Young concocted these extremely comfortable, three-quarter length pants for every girl's wearing pleasure. They're daytime or nighttime attire (just change from flats to heels and you're good to go), plus the forgiving and elasticized waist prevents the aesthetically-displeasing condition us ladies know as the "muffin top".

As usual, North American fashion is up to two years behind Europe, so by the time this silhouette catches fire around this hemisphere, the Euros will definitely be onto something bigger, better and more fabulous.

It doesn't matter though. These hammer pants are way too legit to quit.







I'm Lovin' it: These Claw Money Red Gazelle sunglasses. For all y'all who aren't sure who Claw Money is, she's the Queens-born, retired graffiti artist who now collabos with blue chip companies like Nike and Ecko, as well as moonlights as the fashion director for Swindle magazine. Plus any girl that rattles off poached eggs and grits, roast beef hero with Russian dressing and a burger with cottage fries as what she ate during the day is my idol. Who wants to subsist on salad, coffee and cigarettes, a la Vogue-bots??







I'm Over it: People who post ridiculously disgusting pictures on Facebook of themselves and assume people want to see them. No, we don't.


Track of the Day: "Whatever You Want" by Club 8. If you listen carefully, the beginning samples Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" and fades into the background throughout the rest of the song. Karolina Komstedt's vocals in the track has a Karen Carpenter-ish feel -- actually, all in all, the track has a distinct 70s, happy-go-lucky charm to it. Johan Angergard makes up the rest of Club 8 and yes, they're from Sweden.
