Brightest Young Things


Everyone, put your hands together for Ryma, our new intern. This is not your vicemag's dos and don'ts list.

In the last couple of years, the fanny pack has had a massive transformation. Contemporary designers have ironically resurrected the generally hated and hard to pull off pouch. Take a look at Alexander Wang’s studded fall ’09 version.

I bet this man is really happy wearing his socks this way. The thing is, it pretty much makes him look crazy. Guys, leave this look for the girls. I mean, unless you make it look awesome of course.

Cher from Clueless dominates the look. On the runway, it’s Prada.

I got kind of excited when I saw someone wearing a scarf - given it's summer, and we live in D.C.

How sexy does Louis Garrel look in "Dans Paris"? Really sexy. And of course, if you want to invest in a quality scarf, contact your local $$$Hermès$$$.

The Canadian suit tuxedo has made yet another sneaky comeback on the runway. Let’s keep the jean on jean look off the street. Right?

Right?

You can do no wrong in Acne, Denim and Thread and Ksubi. If you're curvy, check out PZI Jeans.

Isn’t she sweet? Doesn't she make you want to put flowers in your hair?

Diane von Furstenberg’s spring ’09 models were goddess-like with silk flowers dangling from their flowing locks. You might be happy to know that Urban Outfitters currently has a huge selection of blooming hair accessories.

American hippies didn’t invent tie-dye. However, they did make it fashionable in the late 1960s. Just remember, there are various ways of wearing dye - other than the t-shirt version below.

Take a look at Balmain's incredible spring '09 collection...

Nails are important. This young lady knows it. Browse Youtube for some amazing and ridiculous instructional nail design videos. It's an art.

Can’t get enough of all these European boys visiting D.C. They sport the same uniform: Cristiano Ronaldo haircuts, Adidas soccer shoes and sleeveless shirts. I. can't. look. away.

Nails - single color only. And if you paint your toenails ladies, either paint them, or remove it completely. The chipped and half-painted half-unpainted because your nail grew out look is the equivalent of wearing sweatpants and crocs.

it's a Canadian TUXEDO. This definitely is not your Vicemag's Dos and Donts. But yeah, Balmain is god.

For the late adopters of the tie dyed denim... I got a pair from Forever 21 back around January/February and they were like $30 from the website if I remember correctly... so I'm sure they're super cheap now.

can we have just the dos next time? we dont need more donts in the world.

and that douchecity blog is dumber than a drive-thru abortion. Go away, yo.

I second pedro's comment -- why hate on people doing their own thing?

3 years ago Peter said

There's fashion, which is impersonal materialistic crap fobbed off on us on a seasonal basis and can be bought with dollars.

There's style, which can come naturally or be developed but should never be forced.

And there's class, which is nowhere to be found in this post. If you're going to do fashion, be creative, this is sheeple stuff.

3 years ago Michael said

peace - none of this in here is people doing their "own thing" it's all people doing something they saw someone else do and think it's cool.

More don't please - pedro's an idiot.

why don't you team up with waylon and help him write his blog, michael

3 years ago Michael said

eddie - because he uses non-words like "yall'z"

also - go wallow in some poo, jerk.

Humm...Do I smell an internet feud? I say instead of fighting on the internet we just have a rumble at this weeks rave camp. You both show up out of your minds on E and duke it out until we can find enough Special K to bring you guys down.
