Marni x H&M Directed By Sofia Coppola
In true Sofia Coppola fashion, this new campaign video for the Marni and H&M collection is reminiscent of her previous work. The prints are beautiful. The music serene – and the entire campaign just completely whimsical and enchanting. I know I used a lot of descriptive words in that, but it is what it is. Sofia Coppola’s directing style has always been mesmerizing to me and while it’s not for everyone, there is something about it that I love.

I will be selecting a winner at random. I love free stuff and I love giving things away so don’t miss out on this opportunity because it’s a good chance that it could be you.
Kaleidoscope Vision Review:
On a whim, I decided to stop by Kaleidoscope Vision yesterday evening for their grand opening party and was blown away by its beauty and simplicity. The space was completely transformed from when Atlas had lived there. Instead Kaleidoscope Vision utilized their large space leaving it open in the middle and having just a few racks of vintage clothing to peruse through. Around here, thrift stores like Value Village, Crossroads, or even Red Light overwhelm me because there is such a wide selection. It takes forever to go through them, but Kaleidoscope Vision’s approach was much easier to handle.
Each monthly showcase centers around an ever-changing and evolving mood, with inspiration taken from a multitude of sources including, but not limited to, anthropological studies of native peoples, alternate realities, teenagers, the natural world and the infinitely mysterious beauty of the cosmos.
Last night I learned from a friend that every month, Kaleidoscope Vision will display a new theme for their items. At the end of the month, all of the items not sold in the store will go online to be sold and then a new theme will take its place. This shop is definitely worth checking out so if you’ve got some free time today studying from midterms (and it’s a beautiful day out!) head on over to 10th between Pike and Union.

Out on the Town: 2/3
A new vintage shop has moved into the beloved space where my favorite thrift store, Atlas, used to live. Tonight – Kaleidoscope Vision will be celebrating their grand opening with a party! Sounds like fun!
The store will house vintage clothing, books, art pieces, antiques, and little trinkets. Home decor stuff? I hope so!
Click here for more pictures of the lovely shop set to open this evening and will hopefully be with us for a very long time. I can’t wait to stop by!

Louise Roe Named Editor-At-Large At Glamour
photo cred | InStyle
One of my favorite style icons (next to Alexa Chung of course) has been named the Fashion Editor-At-Large at Glamour Magazine. Louise Roe, who is originally from across the pond, has been making a name for herself in the last couple of years first appearing on The City as Olivia Palermo’s “nemesis” at Elle and then as the host of her own CW makeover television series, Plain Jane. I actually really loved Plain Jane when I caught up with the show earlier this year, but it didn’t pick up that much steam over here in the states. I hear that is is pretty successful in the UK though.
Congratulations Louise! I can’t wait to see how you put your own spin on things over at Glamour.

Way To Go Euna Kho!
It’s been over a year since I first introduced all of you to Euna and in case any of you have been wondering what she’s been up to – it’s EVERYTHING! This talented young woman is a master in design and is accomplishing way more than I am – and we’re the same age. Her latest work can be found in David Guetta’s newest music video, “Turn Me On.” YES it’s that mainstream song you keep hearing on the radio! Euna helped to composite many of the mannequins from it.
Congrats Euna!
If I Could Have Any Super Power…
The response that I have heard from most is usually flying. Have any of you seen the trailer for Chronicle yet? Kevin introduced it to me a couple of months ago, but now the marketing team for the film has released a new promo video in which they have built three RC planes that look like humans. They then flew them all over New York City!

Song of the Day
Tennis – Origins
I first heard this song on Holiday Matinee’s December mix tape and have loved it ever since. On Valentine’s Day, Tennis will be releasing their new album!
Bon Iver For New Grammy Commercial
This new commercial promoting the 54th Annual Grammy Awards and featuring Bon Iver just gave me chills. This year’s nominees got real hipster and a part of me wants them to take home all of the awards.
Bon Iver is nominated for Best New Artist, Song of the Year for “Holocene,” Alternative Album of the Year for their current self-titled album and Record of the Year.
This commercial is just the first in the series to be released, but I’m looking forward to seeing the others featuring Adele and Skrillex.

Facebook’s “If I Die” App
Death and Facebook, though uncontrollable – when combined totally freaks me out a little bit. Losing a loved one is difficult. That anxiety can escalate when you come across their Facebook page every so often. What if you had the opportunity to control your last words though? In Facebook’s new app “If I Die,” Facebook users can record their last message to be revealed only after they have passed away with the help of a few select friends who will be responsible for releasing that message.
All I could think of when reading about this new app was that episode of One Tree Hill when the time capsule was released. That did not end well. I feel like a common problem most people would run into with this app though would be to constantly be changing it. How do you know if you’ve said enough? Maybe you’ve said too much!
James Franco’s Newest Project Is Not That Impressive
For as long as I have known, I have always sort of put James Franco on this non-existent pedestal. It’s probably because for the longest time, he hasn’t put out anything that has sucked. It all started with Freaks and Geeks, but his career has only gone up since then. In addition to his acting career, Franco is also a genius and can’t get enough of school. The guy keeps going back!
On Wednesday, I read a post from Flavorwire about his new documentary series called Undergrads. Even before watching the trailer, I started psyching myself out.
“Oh man, no one knows college better than James Franco! He’s been there so many times, I bet he highlights the best stories!”
“Re-live the best four years of my life (almost) with Franco’s new documentary? Yes please!”
“Dorm-Life 2.0?!”
I got a little bit ahead of myself because instead of getting my favorite web-series, “Dorm Life,” the trailer resembled more of MTV’s “College Life.” In case any of you get confused, those two are NOT the same thing or even remotely similar to each other. Unfortunately, there were even some parts of the trailer that made me cringe. I’m not saying that his new series had to be like my own college experience, but I felt like there were highlights of things you may have expected from college, but never happened. When it came down to it, those experiences were just too corny.
Anyways, maybe I’m wrong. Check out the trailer here and let me know what you think.
