Tuesday is nearly over, and you know what that means. Time for some bluegrass.

Here's the delightful (and she really is), Dawn Landes, with a superb rendition of the Peter Bjorn and John hit/bag 'o shite, Young Folks. Watch out for the old folks (IRONIC) in this video;





*First in a potentially regular series

In the run up to New York Fashion week, it's come to my attention that yet another party I should be attending isn't going to be happening... Cast your eyes, if you will, over this motley crew (I still struggle to not spell that Mötley Crüe);

Yes, that's a party hosted by Chloe Sevigny, sponsored by MAC, in association with Self Service Magazine, with a guest appearance by the Slits. And no, I'm not invited. Considering I'm obsessed with all of the above to at least slightly deranged level, I'm offended.

Assuming you've been missed off the guest list too, appease yourself with this;



JUST LIKE BEING THERE. Kinda.

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

Signora Consuela Castiglioni doesn't, if this Marni dress is anything to go by.



I love Marni, I love Consuela, I love her prints, I love her use of colour, I love her like a fat kid loves cake. If you have a spare £630 -- and hell, who DOESN'T? Right? -- you can buy it at Browns.

Tomoko Igarashi is a designer I came across in New York a few years ago, and who I promptly fell a little bit in love with. I'm so predictable, I know. Wap a skull on something and I'm all for it, but there you go. It makes me easy to buy for, right?



Anyway, every now and then I think about buying some more Tomoko, but it's nye on impossible to buy any of her stuff anywhere. She does have a website, but apart from being a little tricky to navigate, it doesn’t appear to have any suggestions of where to buy. I’ve come across a couple of boutiques flogging odd pieces, but there’s nowhere consistently selling stuff. Maybe Tomoko is no more? I have no idea. I hope not! Still, until she ups her game and starts selling regularly in one place, at least I have these pieces to lust over.

I'm almost ashamed to admit that I only head of the Brazilian shoe designer, Melissa, a couple of months ago. Still, since becoming aware of the brand, it's been popping up absolutely bloody everywhere.

First up was their collaboration with Vivienne Westwood;



Evidently the company are famous for their collabos, having previously worked with super-stylist Judy Blame, designer Alexandre Herchcovitch and jeweler/make-up artist J Maskrey. Today I hear that they are joining forces with Alexandre Herchcovitch again for Winter 08, and if the images released today are anything to go by, it looks like the best collection yet.



Rubbery Oxfords? Perfection. And, hey, practical too.
