Spotted: Blonde Redhead, "Top Ranking" Video
Lately we've been playing this game, which we call "spot the high-waisted jean," particularly those with that 70s babysitter flair that we love. They're starting to pop up here and there, and personally I don't mind at all. (I had fond memories of my 70s babysitter.) Here's our favorite blip on the radar: Blonde Redhead's video for "Top Ranking," off their recent record, 23. It stars one of our favorite ladies ever, filmmaker/artist/all-around genius girl Miranda July (read her new book now), and is directed by Mike Mills, who also directed the super-good Thumbsucker, which featured one of our most favorite Keanu performances ever.

Spotted: Burnout Tee from Alternative (Apparel) (We also love their Rondstadt tunic, and can't wait for it to be in stock...)
Spotted this weekend, on lots and lots of people everywhere we went: the subtly badass burnout tee at Alternative. Formerly known as Alternative Apparel, like a similarly named t-shirt company, Alternative makes t-shirts in a mind-boggling array of styles, cuts and color. And like the aforementioned similarly named company, Alternative are also known for their position against sweatshop labor and other exploitative practices in clothing manufacturing. (Unlike the similarly named company, though, we've never seen a quasi 70s-porno advert from Alternative.) And while we're not interested in pitting one against the other, for the sake of comparison we do note personally that Alternative's fits are looser, but the fabric has held up better throughout multiple washings. What can we say? We like a tough shirt, and we think you should know.

Spotted: Sperry Topsiders
A little less than a year ago, I spotted a very cool-looking girl wearing kickass green suede Topsiders. And lo and behold, I'm seeing boat shoes again this spring on many more fashionable ladies, and they still look completely fresh to my eyes. Sort of like the spring equivalent to the fringed ankle-length Minnetonkas everyone loves (or perhaps an update to the moccasins that people were wearing awhile back), Topsiders have a bit of that outdoorsy prep aesthetic to them. (Prep, no matter how ironic, is not really my thing, but in my mind, the outdoorsy mitigates it.) And as a total bonus, they are incredibly comfortable. Trend in the making? I'm not foolish enough to guess, but I do know that they do look pretty awesome with skinny jeans and short denim skirts.

Spotted: "Soundtrack to Nothing" Opening at Bespoke Gallery The best place to people watch while grabbing some free wine are art exhibitions, receptions and openings: art is one of those fields where all tribes of people collide, from the well-heeled and wealthy to the most art-damaged hipsters. We were at the opening for Christy Bush's rock photography exhibition "Soundtrack to Nothing" at Bespoke Gallery and took in not only the moody, French New Wave-type stills of rock fans but the plethora of stylish threads on display. (Not to mention feeling like I was in an indie rock version of Gawker Stalker for a moment, having sighted R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe there, along with Interpol, one of the twins from Blonde Redhead, and, um, Samantha Mathis.) There were the usual style suspects floating around: skinny jeans, pointy boots, vests, pretty dresses, wickedly cool shoes. But I was looking at all the women who were wearing short, flowing tunic-style dresses, slouchy boots and flowing hair when I realized they all had sort of a Native American princess silhouette going. (This especially popped in my head when I saw one woman wearing a headband over her hair like a headdress.) It's a nice thing: comfortable, not trying to hard, just insouciant enough towards the conventional rules of fashion engagement. And the pictures were cool, too. "Soundtrack to Nothing: Photographs by Christy Bush" at Bespoke Gallery, 57 W. 27th St., 6th Floor, New York, NY, through May 27, 2006 (Sofia Coppola at a Marc Jacobs costume party, rocking the headdress.)

Spotted: Tara Subkoff for Easy Spirit Wedges I spotted a few very cool-looking ladies wearing these Easy Spirit by Tara Subkoff wedges at the opening night reception of the Whitney Biennial. They're incredibly amazing-looking in person. Oh, and the art was pretty cool, too.

Spotted: Men's Edition! In the span of two hours while out and about yesterday evening, I counted 25+ occurences of the blazer-over-hoodie combination that all the fine young men of today are sporting. (I stopped counting after my second drink.) This combination has been the thing for awhile now, of course, but I was just bemused that everyone is down with it: lawyers, rockers, business types, artists, homeless. The world seems so much more orderly when everyone's got the uniform.

(A Very Scary!) Spotted I was at Nordstroms in the San Francisco Shopping Center this weekend (buying a bottle of Chanel No 19, no clothes!) when I spotted a whole herd of girls, all wearing the same thing: puffy jacket, super tight jeans, straightened, streakily highlighted hair and Uggs. Every last one of them had the same pair of Uggs! I thought there was the remote possibility that it could have been performance art or something, but it wasn't. It was for real! And that's when I thought to myself: fashion must be stopped. It's getting dangerous out there.

Spotted: Summer Camp Style Maybe it's the nice weather, but being able to be out and about more these days, I've noticed a lot of people wearing what I can only call "80s summer camp": clothes with white or bright piping, jelly shoes or sandals, polo shirts, bright 80s-inspired t-shirts with stripes and blocking and hints of that 80s surf aesthetic in accessories (you know, shoes, wallets and t-shirts from HOBY, Panama Jack, etc.) People are even wearing shorts: khaki shorts, gym shorts, denim cutoffs. Maybe this is Wet Hot American Summer fallout, but I'm starting to feel like I should be on my way to the crafts class in Cabin 2A instead of cruising the aisles at the record store. But where are the friendship bracelets? It's just not summer camp without them.

Spotted Okay, I lied about summer in San Francisco. It's not a myth because it's freakin' hot here now! What's up with that? Everyone's dug out their little sundresses, sandals and flip-flops from the bowels of their closets. Or they're running around on the streets with their Dr. Scholls sandals and shorts. And yes, there are lots of early 70s-type sunglasses being spotted, as well as lots of bright colored separates with white piping that wouldn't be out of place at a roller rink. Turquoise accessories - belts, earrings and shoes seem to be the favorite - have been seen aplenty. But my favorite thing to see is this prairie chic thing going on - teeny floral-patterned dresses and girlish shirts with denim and cowboy and/or hippie type boots. If you're in the Bay Area now, enjoy the warm weather this week because no doubt the heat will disappear...

Celeb Spotted... P. Diddy, Puff Daddy, Pooh Doody, whatever you want to call him - spotted by reader Leah in Vancouver sporting a Fucky Ducky baseball jersey. No word on whether everyone's favorite blinged-out hip hop mogul accessorized with bodyguards or diamond-encrusted cell phone...
