It's Friday. Enjoy an amazing track, Letter of Intent, by Ducktails featuring synth work from Oneohtrix Point Never's Daniel
Lopatin, and vocals from Jessa Farkas of Future Shuttle. Ducktails is Real Estate guitarist Matt Mondanile's project that includes fellow New Jersey natives Big Troubles. Their latest record The Flower Lane was released 1/29 by Domino. It's effing amazeballs. There's just no other way to really put it. Well to say things more eloquently, the album has a certain level of musical sophistication that differs from the surf-pop suburban rock sounds of Real Estate, which makes this a great listen for fans of both bands, proving a Matt Mondandile's versatility as an artist. I find the album to check out as seductive, jazzy and dreamy. Make sure you give each track on the album a listen. This album will be on repeat, indefinitely. I'm not even sure I could wear it out, it's that good.
Also, it's NYFW and my emails and Twitter feeds are all about the hype. If I were a financially advantaged individual, I'd invest in this entire re-imagined punk collection by Rachel Comey. Holy-cute-striped-dress-in-photo 17.
Yeah, I will keep dreaming on that one. I'd love to get my hands on at least one of her pieces, ever, someday! Have a good weekend!
Oh, the phases of fashion. One week, I'm lusting over a dip dye spiked shoulder top from Topshop, and the next, I am taking it back to basics. Let's face it, simplicity always prevails.
Lately, I've been watching a lot of Woody Allen films, more specifically, his work with Diane Keaton in the 1970's. Diane Keaton's unconventional and effortless Annie Hall look is inspiring and perfect.
This week, I've been set on discovering some pieces that will surely achieve the modern day Annie Hall menswear centriclook with a feminine, simple feel. Pair with your best blazer or vest, and la-di-da!
