Crushin' on Melody Prochet

And all of a sudden she was there.. Melody Prochet also known as Melody's Echo Chamber has a talent that's had people talking since 2012 when she released her first debut album, this came with a little added jazz from Kevin Parker of Tame Impala and under the Fat Possom Records name she is just so hot right nowThe album has caused a stir with summery love songs soaked in a French accent and a dip dyed fringe. Who can resist really?

We have a major crush on Melody and her effortless style on and off stage is causing a stir at We Are Cow. It's well documented in photographic history that you can't go wrong with the classic jeans and a tee combo but jumble up with jumpers, floral dresses, add the odd leather jacket or skirt, paired with a handful of rings and some long necklaces and voila! It sounds easy but it's that Parisian chic and carefree attitude that is hard to grasp. Don't even get us started on that perfect ombre shaggy bob!

With all of this in mind we have put together a Get The Look with our favourite items from WWW.WEARECOW.COM that would make Melody Prochet proud.

FLASHBACK: Power Couple Britney and Justin

After so much controversy this week with the VMA's hosting the twerking fiasco and foam finger action we are looking back to a much more innocent time when people were just young and happy and double denim outfits were the most controversial topics.
Today our Flashback is the original couple of smiles Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake. The pair met at a very young age at the Mickey Mouse Club and with butter wouldn't melt faces and cute as a button personas they hit our TV screens with their dance routines and bad acting which led to their music careers in the early 90's.






It wasn't until 1999 when they actually got together and shared all of their love for one another openly with magazine deals, public displays of affection at Award Ceremonies and sports games. They were totally ahead of the times with their in fashion sportswear and if only we could all have his and hers "Stinky and Pinky" personalised  basketball vests!



They publicly broke it off in 2002 (who cried?) Then Justin went off to write the Number One hit Cry Me A River and was quoted by telling audiences "Sometimes in life, you think you found the one. But then one day you find out that she is just some bitch," OUCH! Bit harsh Justin!



The couple live on in our hearts and also quite heavily on Tumblr but we will never really get over our first love for the 90's super couple. Long live Brustin!!

NY Diary #2 Williamsburg Brooklyn. 14th Street


Williamsburg with its bevy of babes, allures in artists, musicians and the relaxed cool of the city, with its Block Party’s, fleas and beautiful views. Based on the outskirts of Brooklyn it mixes the old docks, factories and industrial red brick buildings, like those seen on Boardwalk Empire which is filmed just around the corner at Greenpoint with modern boutiques, thrift stores and tasty eateries. With a hung-over belly and Air con on the mind the main focus for Sunday Williamsburg goers is food, more importantly brunch.  Five leaves is the first port of call with tattooed, short fringed babe waitresses and equally lush chef’s it is uber popular, the Que is crazy, but the hour wait is worth it.
 This Sunday we had a random awesome find, along 14th street was the BORED STROKED PORTED Block party , Hosted by New York City Vintage Motor show, The streets filled with the hottest most shinniest Bikes, gorgeous bikers and live music of the metal variety.
 



At Cow, Denim is one of our fundamental staples, it goes with everything it lasts for almost ever and girls and guys look equally hot in it. America loves it and definitely knows how to make it good, so we source all of ours from here. Notably Williamsburg loves it just as much, whether worn with a graphic tee,grungy shirt or something a little more western we sell them all at cow. While summer comes to a close we see the beginnings of layering pieces, combining cute raw edge shorts, with kimono, crop and boots.Or maybe just a simple denim jacket for late nights.
