I am wearing an old green army style shirt from GAP – with nice pleats on the pocket, and a pair of Khaki shorts with cargo pockets – very functional and utilitarian. I am also wearing a UNIQLO Tee with yellow socks, also from UNIQLO. It’s 6:00pm and I am sitting at my desk after a day of walking the streets with my camera, in London’s Urban jungle.
ANNA MIRIAM ETHEL PARKMAN
I’m a 19-year old countrygirl nowadays living in Stockholm. I work in a swedish kids clothing store half of the time, and on the other half I work with my interests such as baking, sewing and photographing through my vintageblog, http://www.miriamskafferep.blogspot.com. I dream of becoming a pastry chef and I also dance Lindy Hop and Balboa, sometimes wishing I was born 80 years ago.
Today, on the afternoon of july 24th, I’m wearing a 50’s summerdress, with the perfect tiny waistmeasure I very rarely find. It’s cream white in a heavy, dull kind of silk, with raspberry red stripes, mixed thin and thicker ones. It has a square boatneck with short sleeves, typical 50s style, with one big, red stripe following the neck, and then thin ones down to the skirt. Around the waist there’s a thin, red belt, with a buckle of mother-of-pearl-shimmering seashell. The skirt is over-the-knee-length and pleated all around. Together with the fabric’s heaviness its’ swing’s lovely around my legs when I walk and dance! The tag inside the dress says “Suprex Models” but I don’t know from which country it’s originally from. I bought in Stockholm’s best vintage store: Old Touch at Upplandsgatan for 450 SEK (approx. 61 USD).
On my feet I’m wearing a pair of 50’s reproduction wedge sandals from british ROCKET ORIGINALS, with peeptoe and anklestraps crossed back and buckled in front. The wedge is bright raspberry red with a following cream white stripe, and over the toes the sides cross over to an atomic shaped “V”, marked with a another cream white stripe.
I wear my blonde hair in a low, curly ponytail with pinned up sides and my bangs in a big, in-rolled curl, pinned with two green and golden dragonflies. Like a mix of Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe in their more casual moments. I wear a light perfume with lily of the valley-scent from british PENHALIGON, bright red lipstick, light foundation and rose pink blush. When outside I wear a pair of green and yellow cateye-shades, also bought at Old Touch, and a little 50’s handbag in beige and white, bought on a block fleamarket.
The time is 17.47, on a sunny, lazy day in my hometown Härnösand, north of Sweden.

Sitting in my atelier here in Beijing, I am wearing a black skirt that closes with green velcro. It has no label but my sister got it at URBAN OUTFITTERS in London like 10 years ago (!). My top is of jersey cotton, sleeveless, slash-neck type with very wide red & black horizontal stripes (3 red and 2 black). The straps can be tightened with cords (of the same striped material) and tied in a bow – or not, you could leave them hanging too. Both of mine are in bows. The label inside says “BDg registered trademark EST. 76″. This top is also a hand-me-down from my big sister who works in fashion in NY.
On my head, I am wearing a hat of my own label: Elisabeth Koch Millinery. Often while I’m working on a piece, I’ll stick it on my head just to get the feel of it. I make each of my unique creations by hand. It is made of triangular pieces of light silver sinamay with a poof of hand-cut white feathers in the middle. It’s a commissioned piece for a client. Other than these three things, I have no shoes on, no jewelry, but yes to a little mascara (MAYBELLINE from the USA) and eyebrow pencil (DIOR from Amsterdam).
Today is a wonderful July 14th 2010 at 4pm.
CHRISTINA BEAULAC-FERRIS
I am a blogger for TheLooksee.com and jewelry designer living in Los
Angeles.
On this balmy summer day I’m wearing a simple beige, shortsleeve,
batwing cardigan from H&M that is very lightweight, unbuttoned over a
basic black tank top also from H&M. I’m wearing thrifted faded black
denim cutoff shorts, and some thrifted green suede flats.
I love jewelry, and like to wear a lot of it. Around my neck, I’m wearing
a long Triple Triangle Grid Necklace from my jewelry line, The Looksee
Jewelry. On my wrists, I have three vintage costume bracelets. One is
goldtone with little starbursts spaced an inch apart on a lightly textured
background; the other two are thin leather, faux-snakeskin and goldtone
with chainlink accents- one is green, and the other is black. I am also
wearing my wedding band which is a simple yellow gold band with a single
starburst and a tiny diamond chip in the middle. On my other ring finger
I have on a vintage rose gold square signet ring with a small amount of
hand-engraved filigree. It has yet to be engraved with my initials. The
signet ring and my wedding ring are the only constants in an ever changing
ensemble of clothing and accessories.

I am wearing low NIKE dunks that I got when I was 12 years old, they are very pink and grubby having served me six years of physical education and some little socks that I took from my Mum’s draw this morning. I’m also wearing some greenish coloured drainpipes back from when I used to think nu rave was like the best thing everrr. Oddly clothes from when I was 13 still fit me. Then I’m wearing a standard AMERICAN APPAREL tri-blend male tank with a blue, red and green UNIQLO (again from the mens section) tartan shirt on top. Over that I’ve stolen my Dad’s MARKS & SPENCER cardigan, its super big and soft and navy. My mum bought it for him when we were at the seaside because he was cold, but he didn’t like the plastic buttons, so she has sewn on some rather dashing cork ones as a replacement. Unfortunately the moths are getting to it. My hair is an utter state as usual, but it’s down today because I went to a ball last night and pretty much rolled out of bed and into the library (for revision) and I couldn’t be bothered to sort it out because it’s rainy today. On my face, I have both my lobes pierced which are adorned with VIVIENNE WESTWOOD orb earrings and I have my cartilage pierced on the top of my right ear which has a ring in it. Because I am rather blind, I am wearing orange glasses and shit loads of eyeliner. I also have by MARC by MARC JACOBS school bag with me, it is oil cloth and has lots of funny drawings on it like a banana eating itself and a huge zip and a MARC JACOBS bone bangle (on my left wrist) and a TIMEX watch (on my right wrist).
TAO LIN
I write, draw, write emails, drink smoothies, eat fruit, look at the internet, do things to my blog (http://heheheheheheheeheheheehehe.com/), listen to music in my room, Tweet, “hang out,” walk around in sunlight in Manhattan, make “shitty-ass” songs on garageband.
I live in Williamsburg off the Graham L train stop.
I’m wearing a black Choking Victim hoodie with a white image of a woman choking a baby, I think, on the back. It is size small. The brand is GILDAN. I think I got it from Leftover Crack’s website or eBay or maybe a Leftover Crack show like five years ago. I’m wearing black IPATH shoes I think I got off Amazon discounted to something like $25 a few months ago. I’m wearing black socks from I think OLD NAVY. I’m wearing a “shitty-ass” “two-pronged” belt from OLD NAVY. I’m wearing plaid boxer shorts that are probably from GAP. I’m wearing a green-and-black long-sleeved plaid shirt from GRANIPH that I got in Taipei, Taiwan two years ago. I’m wearing dark blue corduroy pants my old roommate gave me around a year ago.

Copenhagen, Denmark
Today I am wearing a combination of my favorites: a thin, black HUMANOID dress with extra long sleeves self-adjusted to uneveness, black cotton tights and black suede MARGIELA boots with a pointy toe and a funny foot shortening sole from a couple of years back. A supersoft fringed cashmere scarf by TSUMORI CHISATO in a faded black with a red/white/green flower print. Twisted doublecoat with strategic holes in a felt like oatmeal colored wool by COMMES DES GARÇONS. A peeling coat of CHANEL nailpolish in the color “inattendu” and four vintage sculpted 1950-60’s Danish stonefree gold rings placed on pinky, ringfinger, pointy and pinky. Just for today my bangs are punished with a bobbypin, my bag is an early XL city tote by ANNA CORINNA in black and soft but worn leather, that can be carried in at least three ways. Most importantly across the shoulder, messenger style, if need be. I love my perfume, Coco by CHANEL, but I can not smell it on myself anymore, so we are on a break.
Copenhagen, Denmark, tuesday april 6th 2010, on the road, on the bike, scouting for blog-food and grocery shopping.

Two-tone brown striped tank top from H&M tucked into my jeans and a T by ALEXANDER WANG black short-sleeve tee with welt pocket tucked just in the front (I always let the back hang out). The tee is kind of sheer so you can see the stripes from the tank top underneath. My current favorite jeans are ACNE Hug fit, which are low rise, acid wash and are perfectly slouchy at the top and narrow at the leg. The shoes are green moccasins with a ribbon bow by CHLOE. They are the softest leather ever and were a Christmas present from my mom in 2006. We had seen them at a store the year before but they were too expensive and when we went back a year later, they were deeply discounted. It was meant to be. I rarely wear them because they are just so delicate.
I wear the same accessories everyday, A GILES & BROTHER silver stud earring that looks like the top of a screw and a gold and black CHANEL shoe and logo dangling earring that my mom got me in Paris on my left ear and a GILES & BROTHER crazy metallic cluster stud on my right ear. On my neck are two chains, one is a gold TIFFANY key that my mom gave me on my 25th birthday and a vintage gold spider charm with a tiny turquoise body that used to belong to my grandma and she gave to me a few years ago. I still wear my class ring on my right ring finger which is kinda nerdy, but whatever, I got used to it so now I just can’t take it off. I wear two rings on my middle finger on my left hand, a bear one by PAMELA LOVE and an eagle head by ANNA SHEFFIELD. My current sunglasses are black flat-top frames by RETROSUPERFUTURE.
I wore this yesterday on my first beautiful-spring day while I ran some errands in the city.

Today, since it’s a little warmer than usual, I’ve made the switch from full on winter layers and all that to something a bit more chilled out. I’ve got one of those work-shirt numbers on, but it’s engineers striped, from LEVIS. POLO Rugby chinos in a lighter-than-usual khaki, and a pair of POLO cookie boots. Some say their kind of corny, but I like them and they’re not three-full-bills expensive. Outwear-wise, a vintage ORVIS brown and green navajo print fleece shirt jacket. Probably one of my favorite vintage finds. Oh and some VALENTINO sunglasses, clubmaster frames.
I’m at my desk, but about to head outside and enjoy the sunshine.
