some crafty candy colored neckwear made from vintage buttons, beads, and other bold plastic elements, by brooklyn-based designer sirin thada. sirin studied fashion design at NYC's FIT.
sirin also happens to be an friend of mine from my (ye olde) new york city days. she recently re-found me on facebook, and i in turn re-discovered her website (where i got a gander at these necklaces).
so superb to see that sirin's still as creative as ever...

kiev street style (from FAK!) on current TV


an amusing clip on street style in kiev, ukraine. it's by street style site, FAK!'s founder, phil bananov, and was recently featured on current.
i love the attitude of anton, the guy who looks like an "ordinary american punk/skateboarder". :P seems like america is still loved, in some way, around the world (for some of our culture, if not our politics!)... :)
