We see: Vanity Fair

When you work in a mall, there isn't much to do on one's lunch break. We enjoy spending our lunch break in the corner of Indigo Books flipping through, Vanity Fair's The Portraits, a century of iconic images. Here are some of our favourites:

OK, recently I watched every episode of Jersey Shore's first season. I don't know if it was any good and I certainly didn't learn anything, but it was definitely hypnotic and it gave my brain a vacation. As for music, I know everyone associates me with edgy rock, but there are times when I just want to hear Britney Spears singing 'Womanizer, Womanizer...' over and over. I know, I know, it's Britney! But I told you. I love imperfection.

We wear: Erin Wasson for RVCA

If we weren't already head-over-heels for the new RVCA clothing line, we definitely are now. Erin Wasson designed the new line and then modeled for the campaign. The team collaborated with artist Alia Penner, and to put it simply, they couldn't have been a better match.

A closer look at Alia Penner's work tells us how easy it must have been to create such a beautiful campaign. Her work is mostly mixed media and it looks as if an acid dream was translated onto paper. To sum things up: it's absolutely fantastic, and so original.

We can't get enough!
