Hellz Bellz Summer 08 lookbook is out and were loving the acid wash, high waisted skirts, prints and use of suspenders. This collection is for the fiercest of ferocious females aka the ladies of The Cabinet Shop!

Rockin Huf And Stuff With Our Afro Puff

Huf opens in LA this Saturday at 410 N. Fairfax Avenue. Get on it! (323.944.0017)

The Multiplication of JIM

Trading in his Kimono and sock puppet for a more Buddy Holly-esque look and a four piece band, Jaime Lidell brought a soulful retro groove to Bimbos last night. A few Cabinet members went to the show and we must say were more inclined to twist and shout then trip hop around aimlessly. He crooned in autotune, he did some solo time knob tweaking and beat box looping - much to our pleasure. His band members were right in sync with his improvisational style and seemed so pumped to be on stage with him. We danced, laughed, wondered what the hell he was doing at points and thankfully saw a great rendition of Multiply. At times we missed the heavier, scruffier less "hip" Jamie Lidell but all together it was a fun, inspired and high energy show.

Fisher who ?

Lookin' like a Fisher Price toy, these Fred Flare color block head phones might make that Crystal Castles album really bump. Image from Style.com.

Give The Dog A Bone

A few Cabinet members are planning on hitting up Scrap this Saturday. A place where you can find any sort of knick nack and tally whack for your latest creations. Satisfy your crafty urges with donated goods such as: yarn, frames, beads, old letters, porcelain molds, fabrics, etc... Images courtesy of sfgirlbybay.

Vintage Wonderland

A special friend to the shop turned us on to a great photog - Alex Prager. She lives in LA and creates these Hitchcock-esque photos. We love the retro styling and aesthetic in a Pleasantville gone wrong sort of application. If only our film was done yet!!

Memorial Mayhem


The Cabinet members attended a very special wedding this weekend and we must say, it was spectacular. Using the aforementioned Dina F+, we hopefully yielded some banging shots. We will get those up as soon as the lab gives them back (The above courtesy of Colonel Evans). Lots of other wondrous goodies to come, hope everyone had a nice long weekend!
