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.

‘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?

Chunky and architectural to an extreme, Ek Thongprasert’s jewelry is the type of statement piece that is as loud as it is thought-provoking. The work often recalls ornate costume jewelry of another era, but constructs the pieces out of vibrant silicons that takes a traditional silhouette and makes it something completely new. Need a little more Ek in your life? There’s a small selection of pieces by the Belgian design house on eBay. Check it out here.

On Wednesday night, Chanel hosted the 8th Annual Chanel Tribeca Film Festival Artists dinner at the Odeon restaurant. In addition to New York film staples like Robert Deniro and Griffin Dunne, a bunch of new young blood came to represent as well. Names like Julia Restoin Roitfeld, Jen Brill, Mickey Sumner, and Dree Hemingway cozied up to the iconic restaurant, all looking darling in their Chanel ensembles — such as Alexa Chung (seen above). Viva la film!

Mia Christiana is one of those eBay users who’s less of a shopping addict and more of a research hound. It’s good to remember that the biggest auction site in the world is also a swell place to sift around the marketplace for ideas, brands, and sourcing. The stunning beauty, who acts as a buyer for Forever 21, spoke to The Inside Source at Coachella about how she loves to use eBay to research tons of fashion for her job. Speaking of research, we recommend you visit eBay to check out some similar gladiator sandals to emulate Mia’s fest look. We’re digging the rest of her laid-back vibe.

Inspired by Katy Perry and her stylist Johnny Wujek at Coachella this year, illustrator Jamie Lee Reardin whipped up this super high fashion take on their festival style. Recognize the skirt and crop-top combo Katy’s sporting? Iggy Azalea wore a similar version of the Dolce & Gabbana getup in her last video, “Work.”
