Mint green on nails (creamy and pastel, by MAC and Chanel), clothes of course, shoes and style magazines (bi-annual Conde Nast’s publication Love Magazine). We love it… especially on the nails.

Trend #1: cut-off denim August 27, 2009

- Bleach is also trendy

Do it yourself:
1. Put a pair of old jeans into a bathtub full of water with the amount of bleach you desire in it. This amount depends on how light or dark you want your cut-offs.
2. Let the jeans soak for about a half hour to an hour (once again,depends on how much bleach you put in)
3. Take the jeans out and throw them in the dryer for about one hour. If they’re a little damp, don’t worry, you can work fine with them.
4. Use tough scissors to cut off the legs until you get to your desired length.
5. Fray the bottom edges and around the sides and the front and back pocket openings with scissors or a pocket knife.
6. Fray the actual fabric up and down fast and hard to get a rough look, using sandpaper.

Guide to The Sartorialist August 6, 2009
Nowadays, lots of people are The Sartorialist’s fans and so are us. We love Scott Schumann because he’s the GOD of fashion streetshots. Of course, we’d love to get shot by him but he reportedly doesn’t seem to like Brazilians style. Awww, Scott we’re so pretty and sexy and hot and charming… But, hold on a second!!! Yes!!!! Yes!!!! We found a step-by-step guide to get there:
Fluo is the new black (pt. 1) July 23, 2009
SinK‘s back from an European summer tour loaded with pictures and news about what’s HOT and what’s NOT at the old continent. You’re the lucky ones because we got LOTS, LOTS and LOTS of cool stuff . And we’re desperate to share, kids.
To kick off, let’s talk about fashion.
The hottest trend for this summer is undoubtely the FLUO thing. Looking back at the ravers from the 80′s, cheering up this dull momentum, the bright colours are the face of the sunny season.
Everything is fluo, every shop is selling fluo, everyone’s wearing at least one single piece of glowing stuff. It’s cool, it’s fun, it’s irreverent. Dare to wear!

Be Sónar and dance June 21, 2009
Part 2 has been made possible thanks to the valuable contribution of our lovely coolhunters Livia Cardoso, from Belo Horizonte, and Mari Mineiro, from Lisbon.
Thanks, chicas! We love you!
Be Sónar and smile June 21, 2009
Ahh, we love Sónar. Firstly, for its trendsetter reputation. Second, for actually being the ultimate streetwear runway, giving us the most fabulous possibilities for shooting real people fashion. By seing the exclusive photos that our sweet coolhunter Chris Ortigoza (yes, she’s everywhere that matters) we see that colours are in again, happiness, fun accessories and all that relaxed attitude towards life that everyone should be working on these days. So, forget your problems. Put on your red shoes and dance, Professor Bowie said back in the day.
Have Sónar photos and want to share? Oh, just do it! Email us: somainkinderland@gmail.com Much appreciated!
