North Korean Interiors Looking Suspiciously like a Wes Anderson Film Set

I‘m quite sure this room reminds me of a new design restaurant I went to recently and thought was so cool, that I didn’t really care what the food tasted like or how much they were charging me for “locally-sourced rice”. Slowly but surely, we seem to be moving from the old world Parisian café replicas and small town general…

TENNIS ANYONE?

As a result of an evil faculty conspiracy within the sports department, I never made it onto the Varsity tennis team in high school. Being the true sportswoman I am however, I graciously accepted my place on the Junior Varsity (and then dropped out a week later thinking, screw this sh**). Anyhoo, tennis season is…

The Quirky Girls Gift Guide

I read somewhere recently that according to some survey, September 16th is the most common birthday, and the month of September has 10 of the most common birthdays of the entire year. And since it’s also that time of year, during the post-summer “back to school” phase, where I can’t seem to stop procrastinating, I’ve found myself…

If Alice in Wonderland had her own Accessories Line

I‘m not much of a fashion blogger, I mostly leave that to the experts in their field. But every once in a while, I do come across a company that seems so perfectly harmonious with everything we believe in here at Messy Nessy Chic, and I just need to play fashion blogger for a moment. As you’re…

Another season, another Paris Fashion Week! MessyNessyChic presents a new episode from the web series, Fashion 4 Dummies. Nessy and her pal Kath couldn’t resist getting in on the action, so off we went to ask some fashionistas more of those hard-hitting questions…

The Interwar Gender-Bending Glamour of the Beach Pyjama

Before the bikini, fashionable ladies donned “beach pyjamas” all along the world’s most stylish coastal towns. The swishy palazzo-like pants and jumpsuit styles shocked the public in the interwar years, while we, on the other side of the second millennium, find some serious beach-going inspiration. But what made the “beach pyjama” so shocking? As with…

Oh, to have been in Venice on the Night of September 3rd, 1951

It’s my birthday today– no, no, please, hold the gifts! I couldn’t possibly accept. But if you insist, I suppose I wouldn’t turn down a ticket and a time machine to the costume party of the century– Le Bal Oriental, hosted by an eccentric millionaire at his Venetian palazzo in September of 1951… Hosted by Charles de…

Cancel Your Plans, Start a Fashion Comeback with Crocheted Can Apparel

“Nice enough for an evening out but still casual enough for that weekend get away,” promises a 1975 pamphlet featuring a variety of special crochet patterns using aluminum cans. Just when you thought your personal style was getting a little tiresome– Messy Nessy swoops in with the perfect seventies style comeback to save the day… But you…

Staying Classy with this Kinky 70s Underwear Brand

Disclaimer: These images cannot be unseen. But also, am I the only one that kinda wants to be at this roller disco party? In the name of good journalism, I decided to track down this “British Bulldog Ltd”, the company that produced these magical undergarments, and to not a huge amount of surprise, I found that the…

Stop Everything, the Wes Anderson inspired Luggage Collection is Here

Seriously though, I don’t know why this took so long to happen. Ever since I first saw Wes Anderson’s The Darjeeling Limited and laid eyes on that beautiful luggage set that traveled through India with the Whitman brothers and almost stole the show, I’ve been yearning for a brown leather carry on with playful safari animals…
