Tokyo Police Club Covers Harlem Shakes

September 4, 2011

Strictly Game by TokyoPoliceClub

Just got my hands on a Tokyo Police Club cover of "Strictly Game" (from Harlem Shakes' album Technicolor Health) courtesy of TPC's manager (and our buddy) Andrew.

The bands went on tour together awhile back (I went with them for awhile), and they're such nice guys - and their new project, which involves them covering ten songs from ten successive years over the course of ten days in the studio, is awesome. The full track list includes everything from the Shakes and LCD Soundsystem to...Miley Cyrus and Kelly Clarkson. The whole thing streams here.

And, if you're interested, here's the video of the Harlem Shakes' original version. Give it thirty seconds or so and watch carefully - it's not what you'll think it is.

Absolution L’Eau Soir Et Matin

September 2, 2011

I was introduced to this new line today at a meeting, and adored it: eco-friendly packaging, organic ingredients, and super-cool, customizable products.

My favorite: L'Eau Soir Et Matin (pictured at left), which is a cleansing flower water/toner that removes all makeup and deposits nice things (like hazelnut oil, Neroli and geranium) onto your skin, and that doesn't need to be washed off. This is the kind of product you'd keep by the bed with some tissues for an extra-lazy night, or stash in your desk drawer to wipe off your day makeup before freshening up to go out for the evening.

Absolution also offers a lovely basic moisturizer that you mix with various skin-specific "solutions" (anti-aging, revitalizing, etc) right there on the top of the bottle, sort of like an artist's palette (click here and scroll down to see the illustration).

If you don't have anywhere to be, it doesn't really matter how you get there. And if you see an interesting road, you should take it.

Sparkle And Flair

September 1, 2011

I'm thrilled to say hey to autumn this year, for pretty obvious reasons (sixweekssixweekscan'twait!!!). But, you know, welcoming new life into the world aside, I'm also psyched about fall for totally superficial reasons, including...clothing.

Chloe & Isabel Launch Party

September 1, 2011

Last night's launch party for Chloe & Isabel was held at the most spectacular penthouse apartment...an apartment that, as it turns out, recently belonged to Marc Jacobs, and still contains most of the original furnishings.

So these amazing throw pillows make perfect sense.

If You Cast Your Gaze To The Right…

August 31, 2011

You'll see that I added "Top Posts" (the most-read/liked/discussed posts ever on RG) and a direct link to all Personal Style posts to the sidebar, just under "About Me". Just FYI, in case you missed any of them and are interested in things like dancing videos or my feelings on odd home decor choices and Checklist Guys.

(Also just FYI, if you're a longtime reader and left a comment on one of those earlier posts that's gone missing, that doesn't mean I got cranky and started deleting stuff - there were a couple of glitches during my Wordpress switchover that resulted in the loss of all existing notes/comments.)

A Little Morning Rage

August 31, 2011

This...

...this...

HOW DID THIS MAKE IT PAST A FOCUS GROUP (or whatever "will people buy this, or will they be head-spinningly offended by it?" system I'm sure JC Penney has set up)?

"Who has time for homework when there's a new Justin Bieber album out?"
