Timeless and Classic...

I've been thinking about the differences between fashion and style, lately. As Scott Schuman recently said, fashion moves quickly, but style is forever. My personal style has been in a bit of flux, of late... but then so has what I want people to know about me based on first impressions, I suppose. To wit, I'm really feeling the looks below.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that I'm a little bit obsessed with Italy at the moment.

A few years ago, as I was settling back into life in the States, I had an epiphany of sorts that I'm sure struck most people long ago.... The internet felt really white to me. 

This is because much of what I because much of what I use the internet for is to keep tabs on art, music, fashion, and other manifestations of 'culture'. So I guess what I was finally noticing is how white pop-culture is. 

I love the way that Jonathan Park, aka Dumbfoundead, has turned the insidious whitewashing of Hollywood around. In an interview with NBC News, he shared "I wanted to flip the script on the conversation everybody was having about the whitewashing of Hollywood and 'yellow-wash' some of the most iconic films starring white male leads." Genius.
