pencey standard

Pencey Standard, the younger sister brand to NYC’s casual cool Pencey, marches onto Karmaloop this spring with its relaxed slub jersey collection. There are few color palettes as tried-and-true as this one, with red, black, and striped pieces. None of these items are particularly glitzy or ornate, but the simplicity and draping of each style guarantees it will become one of your wardrobe regulars. The best part? The ready to layer collection is perfect for that slow, painful transition from winter to spring! Scope out the line in their Spring 2012 lookbook — can you really resist their flattering Twist Mini Skirts?

cop this look zoe kravitz leather dress

Zoë Kravitz, daughter of bohemian beauty Lisa Bonet and rock star Lenny Kravitz, is naturally quite the trendsetter. Her innately cool sense of style is definitely an inspiration for me. Recently she was spotted at an event looking super chic in an Alexander Wang mini leather shift dress and sleek pointy pumps. This outfit is so effortless but edgy and glamorous at the same time which makes it totally memorable. No wonder why she has hot boyfriend Penn Badgely by her side and tons of acting and modeling projects coming up! As soon as this leather-look dress by Evil Twin hit the site it reminded me of her flawless ensemble.  Learn how to get her look:

  3. The Uma Clutch in Black Leather by Mata Hari

X-raid x Monster Energy x MINI ALL4 Racing – 2012 Dakar Rally Champions

X raid x Monster Energy x MINI ALL4 Racing 2012 Dakar Rally Champions

Often called “world’s deadliest off-road race”, the courses on Dakar Rally are equally stunning and unforgiving. But the rally also serves as a real-world test track for vehicles, especially those not known to have off-road capabilities such as the MINI. Thanks to Germany’s X-raid racing team and sponsor Monster Energy, the ALL4 Racing entered this month’s 2012 Dakar Rally with high hopes. Four teams in total, including nine-time winner Stéphane Peterhansel, his co-driver Jean-Paul Cottret, who has three Dakar wins of his own, and Michel Perin, another triple Dakar winner. Pairing with each team was candy-color coated MINI ALL4 Racing, a converted MINI Countryman. Predominately made of weight saving carbon fiber and powered by a twin-turbo diesel engine, the MINI ALL4 Racing is able to generate 315-horsepower with a top speed of 180km/h or 112 mph. Though not as fast as its racetrack going cousins, the MINI ALL4 Racing was made to be equally durable and speedy at the same time. While it is roughly 5% larger in volume, most of the room is taken up by full-sized spare tires, steel roll cage, and shock absorption system. A carbon fiber cockpit includes all essential data at the ready with a bare minimal design to prevent information overload. Thanks to attention to details like these, Stéphane Peterhansel and Jean-Paul Cottre were able to edged out against the competition and took home another Dakar Rally Car Category title at this year’s race.

Florence Street Style Shots

Posted on by

Unfortunately, the most recent major pop culture reference to Florence involves people named DJ Pauly D, Snooki, and JWOWW. But our favorite lens with which to view this historic city has always been its iconic architecture and street style (a far cry from fuzzy boots and sausage-y mini dresses). One of our old interns, Andie Sibincich, has spent the last few months studying abroad in Florence, Italy, and we want to share some of the pics she took for her fashion photography class! These ladies have a downtown cool, vintage inspired aesthetic going on and we will certainly be using them for style inspiration this winter.

Look of the Week: Once A Good Girl’s Gone Bad…

Posted on by

…she’s gone forever.

But who cares when being bad looks this good? This damsel’s got an edge and we love every bit of it.  To achieve the look, we layered the gray, One Shoulder Dress by Costume Dept. with the Lola Biker Jacket by Plastic Island. The Fairisle Socks in Ivory and Gray by Free People lend a hint of girlishness to the look while The Mini Bootie in Black by Naughty Monkey and the Abbey Beanie in Gray by Brixton add a hint of much needed sass. We put the finishing touches on our bad girl’s look with the brass tone Time Piece Rose Pendant Necklace by Soho Collection, and the Sneak Out Bag by Jeffrey Campbell Handbags. Boom!

Model: Carolan Fleer
