Bookstores, Shoots, and Apps
This is one of those squirrel day where I can’t find the discipline to focus my thoughts on one thing, so I’ve decided to run with it.
I’m enchanted by this bookstore in Holland which use to be a Dominican church. Read about other beautiful bookstores here.

Making fashion week easier:
Made Fashion Week’s mobile app…has been designed to listen for specific sound waves that will be played over the speakers during runway shows throughout the week. These sound waves, inaudible to the human ear, are synched to the shows themselves and tell the app which outfit is on display at any time. The app will then automatically pull up a photograph of the outfit…as well as the designer’s name, biography and contact information. The app aims to be a more orderly version of the frantic note-taking that editors and buyers engage in as they shoot through various shows and presentations.” Via NYT

In a Girl Panic
The music video for Duran Duran’s new single ‘Girl Panic’ is shot like a short film and “the idea was to re-create a day in the life of the band, with five of the world’s greatest supermodels playing all of us”, says keyboardist Nick Rhodes. Harper’s Bazaar also collaborated with the band and their cover shoot (click here to see) is part of the video.
Fantastic, irreverent, and Naomi Campbell kills it as Simon Le Bon.
Scarf Style
The scarf is one of the most versatile accessories, an easy way to dress up an outfit, perk up a handbag, or even work as a halterneck top. I’ve always been a simple loop-and-pull kind of girl so I fell in love with Liberty’s video series on the many ways of tying a scarf: the oversized scarf, the plait, the bow tie, and my favorite - a chiffon knot.
Have fun!
