Perhaps another blog of cool people hanging around in their cool neighborhoods wearing cool clothes is the last thing you think you need, but wait! Backyard Bill is a long-running and standout example of this emergent type of fashion blogging. There is a clear vision across the sundry characters featured, but each post is a [...]

I’m loving this ongoing series of portraits from the folks over at A Blog (purveyors of A Magazine). I’ve always thought Kiki Smith was beautiful, and a muse in her own right, but these photos of Lawrence Weiner decked out in Ann Demeulemeester are taking it to another level. -christina

The funny little comic blog Peas & Cougars posted this handy flowchart to help you make plans for tomorrow – picking up any last-minute drycleaning, finding a petsitter, etc. If you wake up in one piece, and you’re in the LA area (though I know the chances of both of those things happening are slim) [...]

This handy little guide is from a strangely branded website all about Greg “Batman” Davis, a founding member of the Crips, and probably one of the scariest mothers to ever walk the earth. It seems to be a marketing tool for his forthcoming biography – you can browse photos, check out his blog, and even [...]

I love hot dogs is an amaaaaazing and lovingly curated film blog by NY-based designer Shannon Maldonado. She bolsters her brief, funny critiques with screen-shots that are an art form unto themselves. It’s the first place you should go if you’re looking to stay in and treat yourself to an amazing movie. These are Shannon’s [...]

You don’t think I meant on the runway did you? The real spectacle of men’s fashion week is always on the streets, and no one captures dudes at the top of their dudely dude-game better than Tommy Ton of Jak&Jil. His streetstyle slideshows for GQ are the closest I’ve ever come to experiencing time-travel (oh [...]

There’s a glut of fashion blogs out there, popping up like mushrooms and falling away just as quickly. I’m truly psyched, however, that Etsy super-crafter Yokoo has finally started a personal tumblr of her daily outfits, showcasing her weird/epic/soccer-mom chic style. She just started posting, but she’s already a ray of sunshine on my RSS [...]

Obsessed with this tumblr that features a heavily updated stream of strange, wonderful, and/or historical fashion pieces not easily found anywhere else. My favorites are the over the top Victorian-era taxidermy accessories, like the creepy ones you see here. Makes you feel okay about that rabbit’s foot keychain. check it out here. -christina

Into the Fashion is an incredibly insightful and comprehensive fashion-history blog by the fashion journalist/lecturer Diana Marian Murek – using striking visual comparisons, Murek points out the cyclical nature of fashion trends in a way that is inspirational rather than cynical. “This is the nature of fashion.” she explains “That’s why I call my comparisons [...]

Everybody’s favorite skeezy-punk fashion photographer has a really great tumblr diary. Personally, I am a fan of Terry Richardson’s work (he has questionable ethics, but guy’s pretty much pioneered the now-ubiquitous overexposed photo style) and if nothing else, the diary is a fascinating insight into the lifestyle at the top of the creative class. See [...]

Voyeuristic homelife photographer Todd Selby is posting the complete Selby is in Your Place book (which retails for around 30 bucks) for FREE online until tomorrow morning 9am EST (that’s 6am for us on the Pacific coast!). There’s a great introduction by Lesley Arfin and each photo essay is accompanied by more in-depth interviews and [...]

via the Agenda Inc. blog: “Jason Alper, a designer more familiar from his work as the costume designer who created the Borat mankini for Sacha Baron-Cohen’s Bruno is turning his satire to luxury brands. In a new exhibition called “Proletarian Drift and the Enfranchisement of the Bourgoisie” at the Guy Hepner Gallery, in West Hollywood, [...]

Them Thangs is a a stunning/ridiculous/beautiful blog of visual inspiration from Amsterdam-based artist and graphic designer Justin Blyth. It’s a never ending digital scroll of images sourced from god-knows-where and who-the-hell-cares. The cryptically titled collages betray a mild obsession toward everything wonderful and awful about youth and sex and growing old and being cool. Or [...]

There’s some great original fashion photography going on over at SRC783. Promise there’s a chick in there wearing cool clothes…eventually. click here to see the full post

From Di$count: “These are some of the pages of Ripped: T Shirts From The Underground by Cesar Padilla. He owns Cherry Boutique on Hollywood Boulevard. I don’t know fuck all about this guy, so excuse my ignorance… Padilla has an amazing collection of t-shirts, but he also has an unbelievable collection of other shit.” There [...]

The “about” section of this blog is an excerpt from a review of ‘Letters on the Aesthetic Education of Mankind’ which I think is trying to make a point about the democracy of aesthetics. That’s all well and good – I’m just completely psyched on these selected pieces from filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky’s long-running comic strip [...]

“One Trip Pass is an ongoing project that includes pop-up shops, design collaborations and a blog. The name comes from a trek across the desert in the winter of 2009 when an economic crisis and a season of political change made old structures collapse and new ideas come to mind. That one trip was a [...]

Unknown Hipster is a blog by pithy illustrator Jean-Philippe Delhomme that documents his comings and goings amongst the hautes mondes of art and fashion. Completely devoid of photographs, the blog is covered in amazing illustrations in Delhomme’s deft signature style. Needless to say it’s not updated on the daily, but new entries are definitely worth [...]

So the French clothing label/arbiter of cool APC has started a blog. At the moment, it’s a lot of  here’s a picture of our store and here’s a picture of a thing in our store, but posts about French publishing house Les Editions de Minuit, and one of an APC lookbook from 1992 hint at [...]

It takes BALLS to make peoples’ jaws drop during fashion week, but Vogue Nippon’s fashion editor-at-large Anna Dello Russo does it on the daily. Kudos to Tommy Ton for diligently documenting her sartorial exploits for us hoi polloi. Now go do some pilates. (image via Jak&Jil)

My Mom, The Style Icon is a touching photo-blog where readers can send in old pictures of their moms looking stylish and grainy, at turns bad-ass and subtly sexy, and sometimes posing with strange men in far-flung locales. The latter of these gems go into a section called Not Your Father, and it’s my favorite [...]

The Impossible Cool is a clean, minimalist blog filled with pictures and quotes from only the best of the best. (like Walken looking FOINE as heck). Get your daily dose here.
