Animal Spirit: The Shark

In our series, Animal Spirit, we believe that spring is a good time to explore the shark energy. Those who wear shark pieces connect with the idea of being “masters at survival.” As elegant authorities in the ocean, they also possess incredibly razor-sharp focus to get what they want. To vibe with this goal-driven and determined spirit, keep some shark teeth lying around your home, or be bold and rock a shark T-shirt.

Playful Clutches

‘Tis the season to bring out those frisky clutches. You know, the bags that spark a conversation with a cute boy at a cocktail party? Here’s a display featuring mostly the 2 heavyweights in animated accessories — Charlotte Olympia and Lulu Guinness. We found a few of Lulu’s lip clutches available at sweet prices eBay.

Summer’s Calling!

If you live in Los Angeles, this getup should already be on your radar. East Coasters, you’re going to have to wait a minute, but summer’s coming, we promise! Chloe Sevigny is routinely an inspiration to us over at The Inside Source, and this clean look she sported back in 2009 is still relevant. We updated it with a pair of Perspex Stella McCartney heels and a Phillip Lim 31 Minute Bag (available here on eBay), but the white blazer and jean shorts are basics you should always have in your closet.

Grumpy Cat

Does the theory that all pets look like their owners apply to sweatshirt graphics? This tight-lipped fellow is sporting an equally tight-lipped kitty on his sweater. We’re quite fond of both. If you’re looking to put something a bit more, well, feline into your wardrobe, check out the selection on Polyvore.
