VOL.01
I love my local Bazaar. It has everything, it’s all so mind-blowingly cheap and I could spend hours in there discovering all the random oddities stacked on their shelves. So today I thought I’d take you on a little tour inside with me and perhaps you might understand why it’s one of my favorite shops [...]
It was known as the ‘Party Pad’, a clandestine bring-your-own-bottle establishment occupying the upper floor of a deserted produce warehouse on Davis Street, downtown San Francisco. The underground hipster hub was run without a license by a beatnik generation actor and poet known as Eric “Big Daddy” Nord, a well-known figure of the bohemian scene in California [...]
Pretty girl bullsh** aside, the latest release from LA-based crooner known as Banks, is like one of those ear-catching songs that you hear at a really cool, not-sure-how-I-got-invited-to-this party and try to nonchalantly inquire who is the artist currently playing over the speakers. And if you’re too hungover to remember who it was the next morning, you’ll [...]
You might have noticed that sneakers are back in style this year and designers are scrambling to do collaborations with all the iconic sneaker brands. But maybe Apple should think about bringing back these vintage Reebok-esque sneakers featuring the company’s iconic rainbow apple logo! Made available only to Apple employees in the early 90s, these sneakers were [...]
Okay, comparisons are cheesy but I do like to get your attention! Wild Belle is a brand new indie band from Chicago on the scene that I’m expecting will garner similar Lana Del Rey-esque attention with their new track, “Keep You”. The duo is made up of 23 year-old Natalie Bergman on vocals and her [...]
“I wear your grandad’s clothes. I look incredible.” I‘m no expert on the intricacies of today’s rap music so I can’t really comment on whether the song is kiiind of a sh*t sandwich or not, but this is also one of those ultra confusing and challenging occasions in modern media culture when you can’t tell [...]
This is in fact the second annual Hipster Olympics (I don’t know how I dared miss the first one) and it was held in Berlin over the weekend. Participants in the games competed in events such as the vinyl-spinning contest, the moustache finger-tattooing race and the ‘skinny jeans tug-o-war’. Of course, true hipsters (who would [...]
You know there’s something seriously wrong with a generation when most of us don’t want to admit what we basically just are. Whether extreme or moderate, hippies were proud of being hippies, punks were proud of being punks, but hipsters?! Well how very dare you call us hipsters! A French ex-pat living in New [...]
There’s nothing wrong with dabbling in the bohemian lifestyle, I’m a bit of a dabbler myself– that is when I’m not in line at McDonald’s or sitting front row for the latest awesome blockbuster action movie. But bohemian or no bohemian, over the last few weeks, for all of us that weren’t attending the Coachella Festival [...]
I found a very Hipster blog and I think it’s pretty genius. Hipsters have a knack for digging up old photos of screen icons and past legends, but this one has gone a step further and added a “get the look” shopping section for each retro photo. It’s called Nerd Boyfriend but we all know [...]
