STYLE ICON DO IT: Christopher Robin

We've always had a thing with girls that look like little boys. Just check out our last post featuring a very waifed and grunged out Emma Balfour. This is why Christopher Robin is one of our favorite style icons. His signature bowl cut could be seen way beyond the Hundred Acres Woods on our other girl crushes Chloe Sevigny, Michelle Williams and Lizzie Trullie. The best part is that his hairstyle is accessible. All you need is a bowl and a pair of scissors. I recommend Pyrex since its see through.

WE'RE SO BROKE...

Our obsessions with A.P.C., Acne, Opening Ceremony, Stuart &Wright and Bird have us contemplating whether or not we would should take money out of either our monthly rent or food. Its sad, we know but we can't help it. Then we remembered this spread we once saw starring Emma Balfour styled in pieces found at Kmart. It reminds us that you don't have to have a big budget to look cool.

Here's a tip: If you haven't worn something in more than two seasons and its not a archival piece, bring it to Beacon's Closet in Brooklyn. They'll give you 35% of the cash or 55% store credit of the very price tag they put on your item. You can use the money to buy yourself a drink to ease the pain of that eviction notice.

By the way, if you remember what magazine this was from or what Emma is doing now, do tell us. We kinda have a girl crush on her.

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving! And thank you for visiting Tradeela!

On our site, you'll read about our random thoughts on art, fashion, food, people and pretty much anything that comes to mind. Hopefully, you'll like it. If not, its ok. Not everything is for everyone.

We'll be taking a break this holiday weekend but will be back on Monday. In the meantime, enjoy Corinne Day's pics of a 15 years old Kate dressed up as an Indian in THE FACE. If you're a true fan, you'll know that this was her introduction to the world. It was her first cover and spread. Cute, no? Who would have thought that an English girl who was discovered at JFK International Airport while vacationing with her parents would be, well, Kate. It kinda makes you think twice about holiday travel layovers, doesn't it?
