We have been bad bookclubbers and we want to apologize and we do so by giving a real gem of a book some shine. If your feeling dull and grey due to the weather or any number of things that can invoke the blues then go get this book!

 

Bay Garnett and Kira Jolliffe really show us that the most stylish thing in the world is inside each and everyone of us, a spirit. Yeah, some spirits need a bit more refining than others but this book helps sort that out!
Building on the success of thier superfab fanzine Cheap Date they have put together a pretty incredible book that offers different points of view on style by some of the greats, from Miss Piggy to Anita Pallenberg from Karl Lagerfeld to Jayne County it’s in there! A Cheap Date Guide To Style is about individuality and about discoveries, not just those in vintage shops but the ones inside oursleves.

We are proud and tres excité to announce that you can now find us on Soundcloud! We will be inviting friends to create special downndloadable mixes just for you. So check back often.
We start with our very own Sydney Valette of course donc Tune On, Turn On and Download!
