It Girls: DJ Tamara Sky


Everyone has their role models/idols/influences etc., and starting now, I'm going to introduce you to my personal "It Girls." First up is the unbelievably gorgeous Tamara Sky. While she's not super famous (yet), this DJ/model/photographer/fashion enthusiast keeps busy with international gig after international gig.

T. Sky has also appeared in American and Mexican Playboy.


T. Sky spins a mix of classic club fare, pop, hip hop and techno. CSS, Empire of the Sun, Lykke Li, She Wants Revenge, MGMT, La Roux, The Ting Tings, Justice, and Major Lazer are just a few of the poppin' artists she tends to spin (& that I personally dig, also.)


I recently went to a club in Nashville the night after my birthday, only to find that she had played there the night before! On my birthday! & I missed it! UBER bummage.


Not only does T. Sky have an ear for hot music, she also has an eye for hot looks. "I like to wear high-waisted skirts or pants, a lot of leopard print, leggings, 'casual goth' like black and leather, and pin-up-y stuff," she said in an interview for Missbehave Magazine.

This is the same Express jacket that I mentioned buying in an earlier post!


Keep up with DJ T. Sky on her myspace to catch her next time she's near you. Don't miss out like I did!

BEEN listening to (and LOVING!): "Little Bit" by Swedish songstress Lykke Li. Check out the Drake remix, too!

Get a Leg Up


These House of Holland tights are insane, and they're only like 16 U.S. dollars. I probably need them. http://www.uktights.com/section/80/henry-holland

Every Rose Has Its Thorn

My apologies for my long absence and not keeping track of fashion week! I've truly been a slacker. Since coverage of the shows has been everywhere, I'll post about something else today.

The much-loved young designer Zac Posen has created a capsule collection with supercool jewelry designer Pamela Love. Love's own designs are edgy and goth-tinged (check them out at her website: http://www.pamelalovenyc.com/), so naturally their collaboration would exhibit a punk-rock influence.Love claims the pair's influence was the romantic fantasy of Alice in Wonderland, but I can't seem to recall any spikes sprouting out of flowerbuds in that tale...

The spiked hairband is a definite DIY possibility.



The hair and makeup for Posen's show was absolutely gorgeous; the perfect balance between rocker and lady proper. The September issue of Elle shows how to recreate the punky pompadour that the models paraded down the runway. I can't wait to recreate the look for myself.

Currently jamming to: "Sister Rosetta" by Noisettes. Check out this Brit three-piece; they're everywhere lately!
