• The August issue of Vogue Paris has a mind-blowing 64 page spread that features takes on some of fashion’s most iconic brands. Unbelievably cool!
• Vivienne Westwood always has the best quotes.
• Forever 21 is launching a new collection soon called Twist that’s inspired by the circus. Sounds pretty awesome to me!
• At some point, we’ve all been associated with a term that we find hurtful and when fellow blogger Marie of Agent Lover didn’t like how an article categorized her, she was brave enough to take a stand.
• Have you ever wondered what to wear when styling a photo shoot? Jazzi gives us a rundown of the necessities.
• Reading up on the homes listed on Celebrity Real Estate is oddly addicting. (thanks, Gala)
• You better believe it: Starbucks just dropped its name from one of its Seattle locations and has added alcohol to the menu! (via Social Cache)
• Web Urbanist covers the world’s 10 oldest still-inhabited cities. It’s a quick yet history-packed read!
• Find out how to treat your blog like a business.
• Remember Crocs, those horrid, hole-covered clogs in bright colors that everyone from preschoolers to your grandma wore? They’re finally dying off.
• I’m oddly fascinated by a new book that documents the rise of designer handbags.
• My friend Austin recently created a mini documentary series for Nemo Entertainment that highlights Bryce Kanights, a very influential skateboarder and photographer with interesting insights and views on skate culture. View his work here and here.

That spread in Vogue Paris? Too cool

I’m so happy Crocs are fading away (hopefully sooner rather than later!)
I went to the Croc shop in Amsterdam a few years ago, it was so full and the smell of the shoes was unbearable!

Finally Crocs will be out of the scene.
Hell, yeah, those are outrageous quotes, haha.

Wonderful links as always. I’m so excited to learn more about Twist. I’m pretty much obsessed with Forever 21 (I’m wearing all Forever stuff right now in fact!) and I love to see what they come up with. Your design for the blog is AMAZING as I’ve mentioned. Your stuff is awesome!
Thanks again for the great links!

That situation with Agent Lover is fascinating. The conversation that sprung up around it even more so.

BRILLIANT.
Here are some of my favorite quotes:
“Dress for the job you want, not the one you have.”
“Ladies do not eat, they dine.”
“When people are free to do as they please, they usually imitate each other.”

Damn, I wish we had Forever 21 in Australia…

Hayles & abbee: Totally. I never understood their appeal; they break down super fast and just aren’t very durable…or cute…or flattering!
Sally: Agreed.
Lisa Ann: She’s in a league of her own. I love that even in her older years, she’s never lost her edge.
Amy: It’s like me turned into a crazy cartoon. Or, at least I wish it was!
Hannah: Thank you so much for the Swiss Design link!!! So beyond amazing.

While I don’t like Crocs’ look, it’s always sad for me to see layoffs.
That August Vogue issue is the one to get and keep for life!
