One of the coolest things about writing for ModCloth is being approached by fellow creatives looking to connect. In fact, just last week the blog team received an email from Diana Meehan of the LA-based indie pop band Sweater Girls, and boy, did we fall head-over-heels for both their style and sound!
Okay, okay, so they’re not all girls despite their way-cute name, but we won’t hold that against them. They just recorded a cover song for the Pop! For Kids Blog Project, which you can listen to below. Trust us, this jam will invite listeners of all ages–male or female–to tap their toes!
Keep an ear out for their debut LP set to release in May, and let us know what you’ve been listening to lately by commenting below. Who knows — you just may get a reply from one of the band members!
This month, our editor, Jenn, challenged us to find a nail tutorial perfect for that glamorous, springtime get-together, and it’s no surprise that super chic ModStylist Mandy supplied our inspiration! A while back, Mandy shared her first attempt at a glittery, ombre design with the Nail Klub, and we couldn’t help but give her bright idea a go. The subtle, sophisticated final product requires simple materials and zero painstaking dexterity.
Plus, you can pick whatever color palette matches your personality — or your party dress!
Try your hand at the tutorial below, and let us know where you’re going to glam it up this season!

Steffy’s blog, Steffy’s Pros and Cons, has been on our radar for a while, and we are so excited to share it with you today. Her colorful and playful ensembles are like sunshine on a rainy day, and inspire us to step out of the grey doldrums of late winter. She’s a student of fashion merchandising, and we’re confident she’ll be a rising star in the industry one day. In fact, she already has her own vintage shop, with awesome items you’ll find featured in her outfit pics. But while her amazing outfit choices might seem intimidating at first, Steffy’s identifiable dreams for the future bring her down to earth.
If you can’t have your cake and eat it, then hang it on the wall! While recently shuffling though the always-inspirational blog of Jordan Ferney,I came across the works of her husband, and full-time oil painter, Paul Ferney. Together, the creative duo collaborated to make the sweet-tooth series,”Let Them Eat Cake,” in which Paul captures the deliciousness of several still-life cakes that his wife created as the subject matter.
Even if you’re not the biggest food or art connoisseur, Ferney’s collection of cakes just might inspire a sweet centerpiece for your next celebration. Check out more his cakes below, and let us know — which colorful concoction has you craving seconds?
Last season, we were absolutely smitten with Jill Stuart‘s pretty pastel Spring 2012 collection, but this Fashion Week, we found equal inspiration in her Fall presentation! The models whisked past in a decidedly darker palette for a much edgier appeal, while still keeping things feminine with petite floral prints, demure silhouettes, and intricately adorned shift dresses that took our breath away. We still have many months until these styles hit the racks, but we’re definitely feeling the sultry vibes of this Fall collection.
When I Use It: ”I wear this beauty when I’m feeling the need to feel extra pretty, but comfortable at the same time.”
Shopping Tips: “Altering pieces from the thrift store can truly make the garment your own, and make you feel accomplished showing off something with your own personal touch. If you love a piece because of its color and fantastic collar (like this dress), but are taken aback by the shoulder pads, long length, and too-big size, don’t let that stop you.”
HEY, YOU! We know you’re the cleverest vintage hunters around, and want to hear the story of your Fave Finds! E-mail favefinds@modcloth.com with a picture of you with your favorite vintage find, and answer the following: Who, What, Where, How Much, When I Use It, and Shopping Tips.

As a collector of many a knickknack, I often find myself at a loss on how to properly display my trinkets. Enter the shadowbox. Shadowboxes are simple to create and offer a beautiful way to personalize a collection. So, gathering my collection of ceramic squirrels, I set out to construct a miniature world for them!
Do you have a collection? How do you like to display it?
We were so smitten by these four Eva Franco dresses—which were voted into production via our Be the Buyer program—that we sent samples to bloggers to see how they’d accessorize these sassy styles.
