What I'm Diggin: Hedi Slimane Diary

The Hedi Slimane Diary is still kickin and has a lot of new photographs that I absolutely love. Great for desktops.

What I'm Diggin: Alexander Wang

A big congrats goes to Alexander Wang for winning the CDFA Designer of the Year award. I've always been a huge fan and I think it was well deserved. Besides his incredible clothes, my favorite thing about Alexander Wang has got to be his offices, which were photographed by Todd Selby and posted here. Below are my favorite pictures:

What I'm Diggin: Chictopia

I really enjoy this new site I found, Chictopia.com. Unlike other photo driven personal style sites, this one stands out due to a unique yet obvious feature: the people list where their clothes were purchased! I'm finding it to be very helpful as I expand my fall wardrobe. Here are a few of my favorite people/looks so far:

What I'm Diggin: The Selby

How come I am just finding out about this amazing website? For all those hipsters out there that also have an affinity for interior design and snooping, The Selby is made for you. The website features home tours of prominent hipster's homes taken by Todd Selby. My favorite so far is definitely Brian Lichtenbergs. Below are my favorite pictures of his place, but you can see all of the home tours here.

What I'm Diggin: Designer Matryoshka Dolls

Love this Vogue Russia editorial in which designers were asked to design their own Matryoshka dolls. Below are my favorites. See more here.

What I'm Diggin: American Apparel Halloween

American Apparel has done it again! Currently on their website you can find American Apparel inspired Halloween costumes. Below are my favorites!

What I'm Diggin: MISSHAPES

Just like JADED, MISSHAPES.COM took a fairly long hiatus, but it's back! The site has a bunch of new features and they have even brought back the photo archives. I particularly like the new blogs, with one written by fellow former PAPER intern Jordan. Check it out!

What I'm Diggin: The Strangers

I love a good scary movie, and this could quite possibly be the scariest movie trailer I have ever seen! Can't wait to see it. Also, Gemma Ward is in it! I can't believe she would be cast as a masked stranger.

What I'm Diggin: Stylesightings

I'd say only 1 out of every 20 "street style" photo sites are actually worth looking at, and Stylesightings.com is one of them. It captures real and interesting people in NYC wearing the most inspiring things. It has the same appeal that "The Sartorialist" once did before it started primarily banking on fashionistas in the fashion industry. Below are some of my favorite sighted looks:

What I'm Diggin: The Orphanage

Recently I attended a showing of The Orphanage and it was totally brilliant! Scariest movie I have seen in a long time. It's in Spanish (with English captions), but I have a feeling if it was made in English, it would have the same buzz-worthiness as The Ring. Definitely a must see if you can find it!

What I'm Diggin: V Magazine Blog

The V Magazine Blog should be everybody's go-to source for backstage pictures at NY Fashion Week. I can't get enough! JD Ferguson is the man behind the lens taking all of the great photos. I love the ability to get a glimpse of all the behind the scene craziness.

What I'm Diggin: Urban Outfitters & The Skullset

Two JADED favorites, Urban Outfitters and The Skullset, have collaborated to create an ad campaign for Urban Outfitters spring season. The pictures are really great and it seems as though The Skullset is following in the shoes of The Cobrasnake, who collaborated with Urban Outfitters for last season's shoe campaign. Below are some of my favorite pictures:

What I'm Diggin: Mark lives in IKEA

Ever since I watched the Saved by the Bell episode in which the gang sleeps over at the mall, it has always been a childhood dream of mine to sleep over and live in a department store. While my dream has yet to be realized, Mark Malkoff, a nyc comedian, was granted access to live in IKEA while his nyc apartment is fumigated. Jealousy! He just moved in yesterday and will be there for a week. He will be posting videos throughout the week here. Below is the video from Day 1.

What I'm Diggin: U Magazine

U Magazine is one of those things that has been around for years but every time they make a new issue it gains excitement all over again. They are an online magazine that features a hodgepodge of photographs featuring models and fashion by use of a very unique approach. Their graphic designs are so innovative and unique, I can't get enough!

What I'm Diggin: Marc Jacobs S/S 08 Campaign

Two of my favorite creative people, Marc Jacobs and M.I.A., have joined forces for the Spring/Summer 2008 Marc by Marc Jacobs Ad Campaign. Is M.I.A. wearing mens clothing? Where are the lego accessories?

What I'm Diggin: Sixteen Candles

One of my favorite hobbies is to watch old movies for style inspiration. Recently I was lucky to catch "Sixteen Candles", one of my favorite 80's movies starring some of the brat pack. While Samantha's looks may need some work in order to be relevant today, I am totally digging Jake and Ted's style decisions (all of whom can be found on the cover below). Jake's straight leg military style pants, his tartan shirt, as well as Ted's straight leg jeans could not be more appropriate this winter.

What I'm Diggin: Lego Ads

In regards to those amazing "lego accessories" from the Marc by Marc Jacobs collection, I found these pretty amazing lego advertisements. Does anybody else remember making such simple little pieces and imagining they were something real? I miss my imagination!

What I'm Diggin: American Apparel Halloween

It's almost Halloween, and that usually means exhaustive contemplation concerning a great costume idea. A lot of websites this year are making pretty good suggestions, but nothing tops these simplistic costumes from American Apparel (by use of American Apparel clothing of course). Below are my favorites.

What I'm Diggin: Gucci Perfume Ad

The first ever television ad for Gucci is funk-tarded, in a good way!

What I'm Diggin: Kid Nation

If you haven't already tuned into Kid Nation on CBS, do it! At first I was skeptical, it seemed far too cheesy for my taste. But after giving it a chance I was totally impressed...of its absolute hilarity! Favorite happenings so far:

Sophia whoring herself out in the town square to buy herself a bike.

Mallory and her sister starting a "pet daycare" involving taking care of the other kid's stuffed animals.

Greg, displaying his abnormal amount of life skills for a 15 year old, by not only being familiar with slaughtering chickens, but also having experience with PBC piping.

And last but not least, the fact that the kids have to compete in order to determine their class within town society. Slavery, anyone?

Oh the things I would do to be younger and on this show.
