tracey neuls + uli schade = blissful wistfulness
It’s been a while since I’ve publicly sung the praises of Canadian cobbler Tracey Neuls and her beautiful shoes. With these photographs by Uli Schade, however, the time is just right. So, with my vocal cords all warmed up, here is … Continue reading
hey, nastya kusakina, you make pastels so pretty
I know it’s tempting the wrath of the fashion goddesses, but I’m really not into pastels. They’re too wishy-washy-little-girly-bleuch for me. On Nastya Kusakina – shot by Jens Ingvarsson - however, I’m willing to concede defeat. Just this once. Just for her.
