it’s all in the details…

accessories can make or break a look, whether it’s black-tie, jeans & Ts, or even the look of your favorite room in the house. so above, i’ve assembled an array of vintage accessories for girls, guys, and home. because let’s admit it — sometimes you should sweat the small stuff.

ciao!

ashley greene is exquisite.

her features are as delicate as those you’d see on a china doll. and because her face is so flawless, she can wear her hair in just about any style and look gorgeous. above, six great styles, starting with the famous spiky ‘do of Alice Cullen, of course.

cheers,
julie

if you love vintage, but can’t always find the fabric and fit you crave, here’s your answer:

create the vintage look you want by working from a genuine vintage pattern.

above, six awesome vintage patterns. vintage-look fabrics are easy to find, so get that sewing machine down from the closet shelf and fire it up! you’ll have the perfect “vintage” piece, tailored to fit you perfectly. and oh so one-of-a-kind. i already envy you for the clothes you’re only now planning to make!

ciao,
julie

the “cover band” that inspired The Killers…

well, if you read this blog you know i have a thing about a well done cover song. yesterday i posted about “shadowplay,” the Joy Division song that is artfully covered by The Killers. Another great song covered by The Killers is “romeo and juliet” by Dire Straits. maybe i’ll post about that song in the future. but did you know that The Killers took their band name from a New Order cover band?

okay, maybe i’m twisting the truth a bit, so here’s the whole story. when New Order put out a video for the song “crystal,” they chose to show the song being played “live” by another band - the entire video is basically an ornate “lip-sync” dramatized by a fake band. and who is this band? well, if you look closely at the bass drum, you’ll see their name - The Killers (pause the video at 1:21 to get a nice look at it.) so there you have it - a fake band inspires a very real band. And if the “crystal” video looks familiar to you, maybe it’s because The Killers video for “somebody told me” is a nice homage to their inspiration.

below, both videos. enjoy!

shadowplay

since this song involves three things i truly appreciate - the killers, joy division, and a great cover version of a great song - it was destined to be the subject of a post on hipsterama eventually.

unfortunately, the official killers video for this song cannot be embedded, but you can watch it here. it’s worth it to see the story of joy division’s ian curtis unfold in mournful black and white, set to the tune some say foretold his eventual suicide.

below, two live videos. first, the real joy division performing the song for the first time on television. the second, the killers (so obviously the musical offspring of bands like joy division) performing the song in concert.

and for those of you interested in a little tidbit about the connection between the killers and new order (the immensely successful band formed by the members of joy division after the loss of ian curtis), check back tomorrow for two more videos.

ciao!

happy birthday to noel gallagher of oasis.

he’s 42 today, which is completely mind-bending to me. here’s an awesome video of the band playing live, covering “cum on feel the noize” - originally a glam rock song released by Slade in 1973 and revived in 1983 by heavy metal band Quiet Riot, who also covered Slade’s “Mama Weer All Crazee Now”.

so enjoy. even if you aren’t a fan of the song or the band, this vid is worth watching for noel’s custom painted union jack guitar. it’s an Epiphone Sheraton. (did you just hear a thud? that was my husband falling out of his chair when he realized i’d thought to include details about the guitar. live with a guitarist long enough, you begin to know what’s important to them…)

happy weekend!

why the question marks in the title of this post? well, i guess i’m not sure how i feel about rob pattinson’s hair. “hit or miss” might be the best way to describe it. sometimes i get it, other times… not so much. but who am i to question?

i’m the first to admit that rob pattinson need not lose sleep over what i think of his ‘do.

it certainly feels as if half the world is in love with him, and the other half is, well, heterosexual males. as for me, the jury may still be out on rob pattinson, but edward cullen??? who wouldn’t love the most romantic vampire that ever, um… lived?

ciao,
julie
