Looking ahead to 2012 is very exciting for a number of reasons. We’ve got a lot of surprises in store for you in the new year, that will begin to unfold in the coming weeks. One of them is an in-the-works collaboration with one of our favorite style websites, STYLE LIKE U. We can’t tell you too much more about it, but we thought we’d whet your appetite with their latest profile, MIA CHRISTIANA from our good friends at WASTELAND. Check out these amazing photos from inside Mia’s closet, and for more from STYLE LIKE U check out their website HERE, and keep your eyes peeled on our website for more info on the collab…

A couple posts ago I mentioned the debut of Lady Gaga’s, “Gaga’s Workshop” at Barney’s in New York City. This weekend I had a chance to join the little monsters (elves) and visit this avant garde workshop. The Men’s 5th floor in Barney’s turned into an acid trip GAGAland, where everything was bright, vibrant and totally off the wall.

We can’t believe the year is merely days away from being over. We’re so excited to see what 2012 brings us, but we need to take a moment to look back at what amazing year 2011 has been. From music to fashion, it’s been a game-changing year. We even threw in some of our favorite JC landmark moments too!

We love these pics from Baltimore’s MA PETITE SHOE featuring BERYL in grey and nude by JC as well as the ALL-NIGHT and MARTIN handbags from our EX-CRUSHES collection. We hope everyone found the perfect shoe for their holiday parties, but if not, check out the JC CAPSULE COLLECTION at MPS for any last minute purchases or gift ideas. The BERYL is also the perfect heel for an NYE gatherings you might be attending to ring in 2012. Stop by MA PETITE SHOE today for these any more!

We’re loving the new LF winter 2011 look book. The blues and whites are the perfect compliment to the warmer holiday colors you see everywhere. And the look book cover itself looks like the lost holiday album cover of a late 90s/early 00s pop-star in the best way possible AKA this look book makes us feel super nostalgic for our middle school years, which were always super warm and fuzzy during the holidays.

Check out this blog post from our friends over at KARMALOOP. It’s a very Gaga Holiday season for our K-Loop buds, and we LOVE it! Plus we can’t get over how good our Lita-Flame looks against pine trees and a red and green backdrop. Check out some of the pics below, and read the whole thing HERE!

I had this really exciting post all planned and what not [tradeshow photos!] but unfortunately my hard drive crashed last night… picture me crying in the apple store, yes real life. So, I probably won’t get my computer back for a few days (I’ve been borrowing my roommate’s- thanks Chiara!!) and I’m keeping my fingers crossed like cray cray to see if they will be able to retrieve any of my information. If the hard drive isn’t completely toast, I’ll post some belated tradeshow photos on a later date- pinky swear.

We’re lovin’ the new arrivals over at ENVI. We have a big thing for shoes with tasteful cut-outs, and these styles are perfect if you feel the same way. Our new favorite of the bunch has got to be COLTRANE in black leather. Amazing with a festive pair of heavy socks in the colder months, and equally as major without socks come spring and summer. The chunky, work-boot heel also brings us back to the 90s in all the right ways. And we’re loving the hardware on this update to the Roscoe – another one of our all time favs.

Check out this rad video of all the action at AKIRA CHICAGO’S Hall of Mirror’s Fashion Show. Can you spot our Lita on the female models? What was your favorite look from the show?

There were two very fashionable Manson’s in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Marilyn: shock/glam rock extraordinaire, and Shirley: lead singer of fashion pop output Garbage. While their music may have been vastly different, they both shared a love for fur, eyeliner and plenty of fashion-goth moments. Both artists have been rather quiet in recent years, but we would gladly welcome them back with open arms to the fashion scene, as both of their personal styles were extremely influential and eye-catching in the late 90s. Which Manson do you think had the better style?

Our friends at SOLESTRUCK are working around the clock to make sure all our JC Girls get their shoes in time for the holidays. They even took some time to throw together a crazy cute look book highlighting some of our favorite holiday styles! Check out some the slides below, or head over to SOLESTRUCK to see the entire thing HERE. Also, make sure you click on the super cute behind-the-scenes SS holiday video “In The Spirit.”

Our friends from Poland just sent us some amazing images interpreting fall in Europe. With our Spring 2012 photo-shoot coming up this weekend, this is the perfect inspiration, although they may already be giving us a run for our money! We love the grunge meets prep styling, the piles of clothes, and of course the JCs! What do you think, should we team up with our Polish buddies for the next campaign? We think it’s a yes, especially if we get to go to Poland to shoot it!

Want JC’s you can’t get anywhere else? One of our favorite online retailers is SF based ASHBURY SKIES, and they’ve got some great styles, perfect for winter on either coast! What are you wearing to those holiday parties this year? It looks like the Tardy in Tartan is a front-runner and has already gone viral! We re-blogged some images of it yesterday on our tumblr. It’s definitely a favorite of ours and we will be rocking it at all of our holiday parties this year!

Since the official The Damned lookbook launched just a few weeks ago, I thought it’d be fun to share some of the behind the scenes photos that I took while I assisted the shoot… And If you guys aren’t already thoroughly exhausted (in an awesome way) from the Versace x H&M collab, keep your spirits up because in store March 8th will be the H&M x MARNI collaboration! I’m crazy excited!

ENVI never skimps on the height, or outrageous-ness and that’s why we’re so obsessed! They always have our hottest new styles in stock. This time around, ENVI is offering some of our favorites from our RESORT 2012 LOOK BOOK and more. And after watching Lady Gaga’s “Marry The Night” music video, we’ve fallen back in love with the NIGHT WALK heel. Check out all the amazing JC shoes ENVI has to offer HERE and check out our new arrivals picks below! Be envied!

It was only a matter of time before our JC Girls took their creativity to the next level like this. We’re talking about the muy, muy major new tumblr CUSTOM-LITAS of course. We’re always coming out with new colors, fabrics and patterns on our #1 style, but we’re not quite sure how we’re going to keep up with this! We love it! A Nicki Minaj Lita? A unicorn-in-the-clouds Lita? Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes. Sadly they aren’t real, but maybe one day we’ll be able to make one or two of these! Check out some of our favorites below, and for the whole she-bang head on over to CUSTOM-LITAS.TUMBLR.COM. Werrrk!

London is one of the coolest places on Earth, and we’re so excited that OXYGEN BOUTIQUE, one of the best stores in Londontown included us in their Spring/Summer look book. We love how OB styled this shoot, and we’ll definitely be stealing some of the looks when the weather gets a little warmer here in NY. Better yet, we’d love to rock any of these looks in the UK! Check out some of our favorite shots from the look book below, and visit OXYGEN BOUTIQUE’S online shop HERE!
