Scale it Back

DJ Shadow has just released The Less You Know, The Better. His site is also hosting a competition for the best remix of the song "Scale it Back" featuring Little Dragon. For some reason, I just adored the illustrations for the track. Had to share:

And of course, enjoy the video:

Rediscovering NY: New York Style

Seriously? I just spent way too many hours of my life catching up on entries in The Sartorialist and then following the blogger, Scott Schuman's love life with partner Garance Dore. Did I really just do that? Ah, whatever.

Now that I'm done judging myself...reading both blogs made me think a lot about personal style, where it comes from, how to carry it out, etc. It makes me remember times in Boston when I looked in the mirror and changed my outfit because it was just too much for New England. These folks can't handle this, yet here in NY, I'm quite the tame fashion plate. I guess that means I'm not really a plate -maybe a saucer.

But seriously, here one can do so many things with their personal fashion. In so many ways, it's possible to be many things and still belong. What a gift.

For this, I am grateful.
