Tuesday, May 8, 2012 Right Now: Under Cover
Now that we’re officially in that weird phase between spring and summer, we always tend to get as indecisive as the weather when getting dressed. Luckily, lightweight blazers, jackets and vests are here to the rescue to let you show a little skin without freezing your a** off.
Tuesday, May 8, 2012 Nasty Gals In The Wild: Ioanna Gika of IO Echo
IO Echo is a genre-defying LA band that combine electronic pop and dark new wave with Japanese koto harps and Chinese violins. They’re all about romance and doom, euphoria and melancholia, and pastel kimonos with biker boots.
With a killer sense of fashion and a fearless attitude, singer Ioanna Gika has Nasty Gal written all over her. We had the chance to steal Ioanna from the studio to tell us about her upcoming album, the score IO Echo wrote for the James Franco/Harmony Korine film project, “Rebel,” and her original song for the upcoming film, Snow White and the Huntsman.
Tuesday, May 8, 2012 NOM NOM NOM: Tangerine Dream
Every year, Pantone comes down from their Helvetica-Bertoia-Lomo cloud to tell us design plebes the color of the year. 2012’s is Tangerine (!). Since I’ve already stocked my closet with the citrusy hue, I thought it was only fitting to cook up an elixir using the real thing. My Tangerine Syrup is really sweet and refreshing mixed with seltzer water. I even muddled in a little sage (what a weirdo, right?), which was surprisingly delicious and a little savory.

Studio Soundtracks:
Dream On
Today’s playlist has it all – dreamy lyrics, cool beats and magical sounds. It’s a mix of my favorite songs combined with my latest band discoveries and fixations. From New Wave to indie rock, heavy tribal drums and sweet Japanese harps, this soundtrack will take you on a trip you’ll never forget.

We love how Stephanie of honey & silk toned down perfectly pink pants and bold baubles with dark staples and the Cropped Trench Coat.
