Loomstate: Organic casual


We were watching 30 Rock the other night and realized that those crafty types at General Electric had stretched Earth Day into Earth Week. The nerve. We're okay with it though, because we live every day like it's Earth Day. We also live every week like it's Shark Week. Carpe Diem is not lost on us.

It's not lost on Loomstate, either. "Loomstate was founded as a casual brand dedicated to creating demand for certified organic cotton using socially and environmentally responsible methods of production."

T-Shirt of the day: Twelve Bar


Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really.


Twelve Bar makes a lot more than t-shirts, and any of their products could easily grace the pages of Styledash in the future, but as this is the coveted "T-Shirt of the day" spot we thought it only right to stick to said tees. We're a stickler for the rules.

It's not how low CAN you go, but how low SHOULD you go with these jeans



Due to the popularity and demand of extremely low-rise jeans, Sandra Tanimura, designer for Sanna's Brazil Fashion, has designed this uber-low (and uber-hideous) nod to one of the worst clothing trends to come about in recent years -- the whale tail.

America doesn't like Victoria Beckham's jeans


Much like chocolate and peanut butter, we love us some Victoria Beckham.

As much as we've tried to hate her, those fake boobs and slightly garish outfits, we just simply can't.

So, this recent news about our beloved Vicky B. has us a tad bit upset, confused, and empty on the inside this glorious Tuesday morning.

The Natural Store, naturally


If there is one thing that we love as much as fashion it's conservation and corporations that believe in it, that's why we were happy to find The Natural Store.

This is what they say about themselves:

The Natural Store is a different type of Department Store – dealing only with suppliers who operate on a Fair Trade basis, have high ethical and moral values, or who try to minimise their impact on the environment. So whether you're after individually made organic chocolates endorsed by the Soil Association, sensual underwear in organic cotton and hemp/silk or a wind-up radio so you can tune to your favourite station, we're the natural choice.

Denim boxers pull no punches

When we first saw these denim boxers in our inbox we thought it was a joke. It was early April, fools were in the air, and it wouldn't be too far of a stretch to think one of our fellow fashion writers was having a bit of fun. At the very least we expected the links to lead us on a rickrolling adventure. Nope. The denim boxer is for real.

Damien Hirst x Warhol Factory x Levi's

warhol damien hirst party los angelesLast night I partied like the Warhol muse that I think I am at Fred Segal in Santa Monica. The event celebrated Fred Segal's new pop-up store, which exclusively carries the collection by Damien Hirst in collaboration with the Warhol Factory and Levi's.

The scene was not your typical fashion-event-going crowd; it was very (very) hipster -- lots of grungy boys and girls wearing hoodies, sneakers and jeans (which of course was fitting considering the collection was based on those pieces). DJ's were spinning, drinks were being mixed, and photographers were snapping away -- Warhol would have been proud.

The collection itself was pretty darn cool too! Amazing skull bedazzled jeans, skull printed short-shorts, tee shirts, and one of my favorite pieces were the shiny leather jackets. In fact, I liked the jacket so much that I got one of the hipsters to model it for me.

Check out the store at Fred Segal in Santa Monica on Broadway and 4th Street (420 Broadway).

Fashion victims: emo kids under attack in Latin America

You might think emo kids have it tough here in the States. They always look awkward and every once and while they might get dirty looks, or people yelling insults at them from passing cars -- but they've nothing on their counterparts in Mexico and Chile. In Latin America, your choice to shop at Hot Topic can make you a target of mob violence.

No one is sure exactly how the violence against Pete Wentz wanabees got started, but a lot of it being blamed on a TV personality name Kristoff. Sometime after he went off on a rant about how emo sucks, mobs of punk and metal fans have been descending on the poor little emo kids and giving them the ol' beat down. Kristoff has called for an end to the violence, but it seems like the sins of emo-fashion will not go unpunished.

DIY distressed jeans

The guys at Threadbanger.com put together a step by step guide to destroying a new pair of jeans using organic, non-toxic methods. It's really not as time-consuming as you might think, and it's cheap too! Especially if you've got some old jeans in your closet that you can't bring yourself to get rid of. Using only espresso coffee, a bucket of hot water, and sandpaper, you can give your boring old jeans those vintage scars literally overnight.

The vintage jeans look has been around for a way long time now and it looks like it might never go away. While I'm not really a fan of jeans with artificial wear spots and holes -- I like to break them in slowly -- putting the wear and tear into a pair of jeans actually sounds fun -- if only for the sheer pleasure of destroying stuff.

If you're the type of person who thinks that it's stupid to pay extra for a designer to put holes in your jeans when you could save all the fun for yourself, you should give it a whirl.

Fug Alert: Kimono Daicock Jeans

Pow! Wham! Zap!

I feel like these jeans are mimicking a fight scene from Batman (the television show, not the movie). These are the fugliest jeans that I have ever seen. Why on earth would anyone want to have an insane red lightening bolt shooting down from their booty all the way to their calves? It just can't be flattering.

I suppose I am not alone in hating these because they have managed to make their way onto the sale section of Shop.Eviso.com. They fugalicious jeans can be yours for the low, low price of $113, originally $225. If you ask me both the original and the sale price are too high. But then again I would consider a price tag that said, "Free. Take them, please" to be too expensive too.

SXSW Style: Tuesday

I have to admit, as the week wound down for us and Austin geared up for SXSW music, I was a little disappointed. Seems a lot of people used all their good outfits earlier in the week and all they had to offer me were jeans and t-shirts. Bleh.

On the other hand, some fearless conventioneers stuck to style until the bitter end, and for that I thank them. Here's Tuesday's best.

How to Wear a Jean Jacket without Looking like a Douche Bag

Wear a Denim Jacket (w/out looking like a fool)

Denim jackets are classic, they are always in fashion in some iteration. Like any classic piece of clothing there is always room to mess it up. The jean jacket can look wrong more often than it can look right, which is such a shame. To help you avoid looking like a hot mess here are some denim jacket do's and denim jacket don'ts to ensure you get it right this time.

Do:
- Wear cropped styles for a fresh new look.
- Experiment with treatments such as quilting or pin tucks.
- Try wearing a hooded denim jacket for a casual/cool look.
- Wear your blue denim jacket with white denim pants for a casual spring appropriate ensemble.

Don't:

- Adorn your denim with appliqués, fur, or any other obnoxious trim ... that's so yuck!
- Wear your denim jacket from 1985! It's not cool anymore trust me on this one.
- Wear your blue denim jacket with your blue denim pants (it's so a 1990's nightmare).
