OUR NYFW HIGHLIGHTS

The Pamela Love presentation comes first, of course. Bright whites and pastels never looked this perfect.
Made Her Think collaborated with Mandy Coon for her show. They made amazing little bug pins (see the big one on the black cape below). Pins are making a comeback.. I know this because Randi at Aesa gave us each a pin for Christmas, and she's really smart (she reads physics books when she can't sleep).
Lindsey Thornburg's oversized hoods.
And Lindsey's bushfire print.
And her collaboration with her bestie.. Anna Sheffield. Here are some of their collab pieces mixed with some of the Anna Sheffield collection that we couldn't live without.
The endlessly amazing soy lattes. Especially Gimme Coffee!!!
We found a much needed normalish bar.
The Like played at Rachel Antonoff's presentation. Our appts ran too late so we missed it.. but it was held in a high school gymnasium with a formal dance theme (even with spiked punch).
Hannah's new dress! I made her wear it to the Pamela Love show even though it was freezing. Our dinner with Carly and Matthew from All For The Mountain.. the new collection went really well with sake.
We learned some deep, dark secrets from our designers this visit. Carly from All For the Mountain hates water, Rachel Antonoff finds serious comfort in eating mall food for dinner, and Randi from Aesa gives her boyfriend crazy eyes during nyfw. Also, that asshole Pamela Love always looks a hundred times even more beautiful in person.

HIS AND HERS

Carly from ALL FOR THE MOUNTAIN made these matching necklaces in time for V day just for us! Notice the matching snake inside of the heart..
Here's Carly herself wearing them both as a set, and Mathew (her man) wearing the 'his' snake.

90's VINTAGE BLUE

I have to be honest. I'm not a huge fan of the Lita boot. But when I saw this distressed blue color, it all made so much more sense. This color is pretty insane.
Peep them here.

BLACK = MORE JEWELRY

It always seems easier to pile on the jewelry when you're wearing black. I can't get over how great these jewels look on jenny. Click the images for more detail.
Especially the pairing of the Pamela Love star bangle and the Aesa freshwater pearl cuff! Unexpectedly stunning.

THE THREE QUARTER LENGTH.

Hannah just whipped up a couple new skirts in a great 3/4 length. She already fixed your "what can I wear under that sheer skirt" problem and attached built-in little shorts! Available in white crochet or black burnout paisley velvet. Both fabrics are very limited.

SILVER THREADS

The lovely artist and music lover Jess Rotter made some Linda Ronstadt wood burn pieces exclusively for us! She made a series of these pieces in collaboration with Nightwood. Read more about the original sinette here.
Here's Jess surrounded by wood at her opening installation at the Nightwood pop-up shop.
Here are some photos from a 2004 Architectural Digest article I recently came across about Linda's amazing pink Mediterranean style house in Tucson.
