Yard 666 Sale

Yard 666 Sale is the best thing we've seen all day. We don't know what we love more: the outfits, the models or the backgrounds. We're going to just stalk their Tumblr until we figure it out.

Ovate

Audrey Cantwell, owner of one of our favorite online vintage shops, Tarantula Sisters, has created her own amazing womenswear line called Ovate. With inspiration coming from '80s and '90s grunge, goth, and punk, we wouldn't expect her line to be anything less than awesome.

Spotlight On: Covet

On the list of things not to lust after: your best friend's guy, an over-priced black dress and french fry-mozarella stick-cheesteak-filled sandwiches (yes, they exist). Instead, make the object of your desire Covet, a beautiful line of clothing that's seriously smart too.

Founded in 2004 in Montreal, the line of Japanese-inspired jackets, dresses, shirts and pants is made out of sustainable materials like organic soybean blend and bamboo cottons, a method of construction that reduces the wastes involved with making synthetic fabrics. The slim silhouettes peppered with elegant cuts and draping make it kind of hard to justify buying anything not made with the Earth in mind.

Arcade Fire "The Suburbs"

To create the music video for "The Suburbs," Arcade Fire collaborated with director Spike Jonze (the band lent their song "Wake Up" to the trailer for Jonze's Where the Wild Things Are last year). The video is a nostalgic look at a rambling and carefree day in the life of some 15-year-olds...until things go horribly wrong. (Via Pitchfork)

Spotlight on: Unbranded Denim

Unbranded is the brand with "no branding; no washes; no embroidery; no ad campaigns; no celebrities." Created by denim-fanatic Brandon Svarc, Unbranded is made with 14.5 oz selvedge denim that's woven on old-school shuttle looms and can't be mass-produced. "Denim is in my blood," Svarc says. "My family has been in this industry for over 58 years. I started Unbranded as a concept to provide 'product value' to the consumer. I think it’s silly that people have to pay for all the branding, advertising, etc., when they buy a pair of jeans. So with Unbranded, we decided to be exactly the opposite of all the bullshit in the industry. We won’t sell 'glamour' or 'design' or 'celebrities'... just jeans."

Shop Unbranded.

What a Long, Strange Trip It's Been

"As every life is unique so is every story, so it would be a fallacy to say that any is more unique than the next...but sometimes that fallacy is hard to deny." Take a visual trip with Freshjive founder Rick Klotz's collection of photographs documenting 21 years of his life, from his porn star friends to corporate lawsuits to his father's death. Check it out tonight at Off the Hook and tomorrow at NRML.

Chromeo "Don't Turn the Lights On"

Sometimes a song can make your morning, and this is definitely one of those songs. Also, Chromeo has a ghost story—it involves wall-to-wall carpeting, and shows what good friends this unlikely duo actually are. Ah, sweet...

Melanie Favreau

Mélanie Favreau's mini stud earrings are geometric shapes that look like scattered points of light when you've got multiple pierced ears. Totally the kind of earrings that you can just put in and forget about.

Monique Palma Whittaker

Monique Palma Whittaker's works are witty and delicious, such as "First We Cry, Then We Eat (above)," which is a cavalcade of broccoli down a chimney, and her "Suck That Piece of Meat" snack garlands.
