a hip girl and her hip ride November 26, 2008

i love the blog “Painfully Hip.” i almost named this blog “Tragically Hip” but i thought it was way too close. plus “Tragically Hip” is my nickname for one of my friends, so it just didn’t seem right. anywho, here is an example of one of their uber-hip posts, all about a girl and her bike (and some awesome champagne/beer flutes!) if you love vintage clothes and hip girls, you will love this blog, i promise. it’s like a trip to paris in a few keystrokes. (well, maybe not completely like a trip to paris, but fashion-wise, just as refreshing.)
enjoy!

hip tip of the day

mods - the original hipsters.

here’s how i first learned about the mods and decided i wanted to be one–
i had already discovered the Who, and a ton of my friends had shirts or pins with the classic mod target logo, but it wasn’t until my boyfriend and i watched the film Quadrophenia that i finally got it. it was more than just a band or a logo - mod was a way of life. (within a week both my boyfriend and i had re-vamped our wardrobes and he had bought a Vespa. we were both 18 at the time…)

so if you know a hipster who doesn’t get the meaning of mod, turn them on to the movie Quadrophenia.

then show them where they can shop (or better yet, buy them something awesome from one of these sites. last christmas i bought by son the fishtail parka. he is the envy of all his Who-loving friends at his high school.)

links to shopping:
www.modcloth.com (Mod recycled and vintage clothing. Specializing in retro, punk rock, goth and emo fashion styles.)

www.huckleberrysmenswear.co.uk(this is where i ordered my son’s coat. Huckleberrys Menswear Wolverhampton UK | Lambretta clothing and Lambretta Clothes. Established in 1994 we have always been at the forefront of Mod clothing.)

www.atomretro.com(ATOM RETRO - Authentic and unique Mod, Indie and Retro Clothing from the Sixties …. Unruly Clothing - Disruptive Clothes for Men and Women: Retro, Punk, …)

there are many more, but this should get you started. long live mod!

stay hip,

liverpool forever

did you expect this post to be about the beatles? well, i’ll do that post soon, i promise. (i <3 the beatles - so fab.) but no, this post is about soccer (or football if you are outside the USA.) my family took me to england to celebrate one of my "big" b-days, and we went nuts for the liverpool football club. NUTS. my son came home with the most awesome replica jersey. now you can get a replica jersey of your favorite football club by clicking below. they have a great search box in the upper right. so if you're searching for a very hip holiday gift, look here first. and go liverpool.
