I joined a cult last night. I hear it’s what you do when you move to LA. They don’t call it la-la land for nothing.
Cult Gaia is the flower power crowning glory from the happy hands of the very sweet Jasmine.

Neon New Years!
The ballet flat trend has been going strong for some time now. There is no new news about that. But how do you stand out from the masses? You get to the top of the line. Repetto started out by making actual ballet shoes in 1947 so the brand is the authority in the flats department. The venerable company keeps it fresh with neon, prints and collaborations with cool kids Opening Ceremony.
So difficult to pick just one!
My head exploded when I saw this amazing printed bag at Negri Firman. Of course, my notes made no sense to me after all this time but I managed to figure it out.
The bag is a collaboration between the two fellows behind the Brazilian label Leitmotiv exclusively for the innovative fabric brand Alcantara.
Click links to see the fantastically print heavy collection on the Leitmotiv tumblr (Hello Kittykitty!) and for all things sustainable and lux-modern go to Alcantara. I couldn’t find the bag for sale but I did find both brands available on Yoox.
Bag obsession! @foley+corinna #paint splattered so now, yet so #80s #fashion #accessories (Taken with instagram)
Pop pop pop! The envelop clutch is a huge trend right now and these exotic offerings by Robyn Brooks NY will keep you ahead of the curve. Click the link to shop her store but for the neon styles above you will have to wait till her #fw12 collection drops. I am crazy about the skull key chains too.
Rock just a dash of #neon with this cropped sweatshirt from the cool Queens line Bedford St Laundry that I found @TheShinySquirrel booth @capsuleshow.
You can follow designer Jessica Yuen’s tumblr here for all her 90’s inspirations.
I went bonkers when I stumbled upon the collection @GildaGrey @capsuleshow last week. Not only was there plenty of #neon everything has this fresh take on deco designs moving into the FW12 season. See for yourself here.
NEON! It is still having a major moment moving into FW12. Peep these these pieces from @HelenaRohner.
