I recently had the pleasure of taking a trip to San Francisco where I saw a vast array of murals which are part of the Lilac Mural Project located along Lilac Alley between 24th and 26th Street. Founded in 2007 by graffiti artists, the mission of this colorful pop art mural project was to demonstrate that with the consent of the community, graffiti can become a rich art culture and source for inspiration.
The project certainly has been successful in its mission. As I walked along the alley, I couldn’t help but be drawn by all of the vibrant colors and patterns. What I realized is how perfectly suited their palette was for spring fashion trends such as color blocking and prints.
Here is a look at how I’ve interpreted two of my favorite murals from that day into cheerful springtime looks for both men and women:
First up are prints!
Band of the Week: Walk the Moon
Last month, Young the Giant performed two sold out shows at The Fillmore. They were great. The opening band, however, surprised everyone with their instantly catchy songs and sparkling energy.
With their faces painted, band members of Walk the Moon invigorated the crowd, most of whom had never heard them prior to the show. It was hard to resist the urge to dance to their indie/dance rock tunes. As cheesy as it may sound, Walk the Moon reminded me of why I love going to concerts — for those unexpected moments of pure delight that result from the combination of fantastic friends, a lively atmosphere and new beats.
Not to mention, the band has really cool slap bracelets!
and an adorable bassist…
Upcoming concerts:
San Francisco is perfect for music lovers — below are a few select concerts that you definitely don’t want to miss.
As usual, London is the center of the electronic music scene. For the Fall 2012 runways, there was no shortage of loud, heart-thumping music that work just as well on the runway as any underground nightclub. Listen to some of the best of the here:
Christopher Kane: Walk the Night - Skatt Bros
Margaret Howell: Django Django - Hail Bop
Acne: 5-8-6 - New Order
Well, after a year-long boycott, I decided to watch the Academy Awards again. And once again, it was all about the red carpet fashion, so I only thought it was appropriate that we went for another round of “Upgrade/ Downgrade,” because a lot of people told me they liked the first round at the Grammys. So who’s with me?! …Well, you don’t really have a choice.
Let’s start with someone who has been hitting a bingo year after year (or at least within the past two years): Natalie Portman. Last year, she was way pregnant but still way fabulous.
The Black Swan dawned a beautiful Rodarte gown, complete with Swarovski crystals. Nothing like an actress who can still rock fashion and win an Academy Award, all while with child. This year she’s belly free and still as gorgeous as ever.
Portman wore a gorgeous red vintage 1954 Christian Dior gown. Beautiful accessories, and wonderful details on the gown itself make this a surefire win. She may not have been nominated for an Oscar this year, but I nominate her for champion of my heart and passions.
