First of all...stunned. It's been a long time on polyvore since I've seen something truly original and this...THIS...body of work (really, see them all, they're equally spectacular" is making the most of what polyvore can offer. I had dreams of making collages like this...brave, solid, believable "art"...but forget it, I just don't have the skills, and quite frankly, I didn't think anyone would nail it, but boy, I was wrong. I don't think I need to explain further. All I can do is implore you to, if you haven't already, check out this talented artist.

Well, isn't this a bit of spectacular. Where to begin...well, let's start with the chimp. Right away, you know this set is nearly crossing the border into crazy town, but she keeps it real using a solid *normal* color palette, mostly. Other than that, it's bat shit crazy. The floral long sleeve tee under that sort of tribal print dress is...well, I think she'd get looks. It's very editorial, in its whimsy. Her inspiration, as far as I can gather, is Pirates, if I'm judging correctly by the title. Pirates! I'll be honest, Pirates weren't what jumped to mind when I saw this...but I did get the feel of a Caribbean "bazaar" full of exotic trinkets and fabrics. Furthermore, yeah, when you look at it through pirate goggles, if you will...It does have a certain Pirate "flair" in its haphazard, do what you will "flurry". Also, DIGGIN' those shades, man. They're the element that keeps this set buoyant. Nicely done, LisaMay!
Happy street style Thursdays, kittens! Today, I decided to feature on of polyvore's most talented pure stylists, Trishy. This set is subtle, but what I really like about it is how she mixed super casual with super chic pieces. Obviously the scuffed, dirty-ish, severely distressed jeans are just about the only element that is very casual, but notice how the scuff marks match the nude tone of the flats, tying together this somewhat discordant set. The sleeveless blouse is a nice bridging piece as well...very elegant and chic, but also casual and "aged" looking. Nicely done, Trishy!

Spider made some pretty awesome sets today, but this is my favorite, winning the most "chill factor" points. The hippie with the limp hair, the tortoise shell wayfarer frame sunglasses, the hap-hazard accessories that just "go". Definitely loving it. And if I'm not mistaken, that's one of my favorite plain black mini skirts that...for some reason...i'm TOTALLY digging right now. Versatality is my friend.
I felt this appropriate for Vintage Wednesdays, seeing as how the fashion world is mourning the loss of one of the top 5 greatest designers ever. I'm also a big fan of anything using "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg". Maturity rocks.
