Crystal Acid

Really digging the artwork of Malena Lopez-Maggi. Love the color combinations, shapes and textures. They are something like crystals but from another dimension. So genius!

Hipnotizada

One day.. stumbling across the infinite inspirational world of tumblr I saw the illustration of the hand with the arrow and I immediately heard a voice with an echo telling me "Melissaaaaa..come to meeee..follow my pathhh." Suddenly I found myself in the beautiful website of the Mexican-American artist Llew Mejia. Love the vintage modern style, his color palettes and the humor in some of his work. I could easily get something from this guy tattooed. Also.. that tarot card just got me thirsty for more. He's also a pattern maker.. how cool would it be to make a bathing suit, dress or a wallpaper with any of his patterns!? Check out Llew Mejia website and get lost <3

Lately we're into cowboys, native americans, buckles, fringes, stacked rings, wool hats, arrowheads, boots, distressed jeans, messy hair, tattoos, leather jackets, vintage rock band tees and graphic patterns. It kind of adds some baddasness to your persona.  Makes us want to drink beer, shoot cans and dance to The Cramps.

☾◆ Noche de Brujas ◆☽

Our favorite holiday, Halloween; The night where you become whatever you want to be. This year we're inspired by witches, storytellers, mystic creatures & warriors thanks to the Sleep No More Carnival des Corbeaux Halloween Celebration*.  If you're in New York for that week you shouldn't miss this one. 

Building your own character/costume is way more interesting and special than just opening a bag and putting on a disposable costume that you won't ever use again. Just buy interesting pieces that you can later wear separately. For example, a cool corset with some ripped jeans or a nice gypsy skirt (we have a very cool one at the shop) with a tank top and a leather jacket. Just plan ahead and have fun! Be whatever you want to be, not just in halloween.

*Sleep No More takes a non-linear approach to its storytelling, allowing theatregoers to freely explore the dark environment, where scenes, tableaux and scenarios play out, conjuring the world and themes of Shakespeare's bloody tale. Audience members don masks and must be silent during the experience. Participants are encouraged to open drawers, pull back curtains, read private notes and journals as they navigate the shadowy, music-filled world.
