Two very exciting holiday launches are going on at this very moment. If you happen to like a unique collection of curated gifts and/or Jay-Z then you’re in luck.
Although the two are very different, I’m equally as excited about both. One of my favorite websites Glossed & Found launched The Find this morning, which is a quarterly online market with limited edition and one-of-a-kind pieces (ah it’s like music to my ears), and as it happens every year, Barneys launched their holiday collaboration today but things are getting a little more exciting with my boy Jay-Z.
So let’s kick it off with The Find. What I love about this is that it’s a collaboration with G&F Creative Director (and one of Chi City’s Most Stylish) Graham Kostic as well as my fellow Jay-Z enthusiast Chelsea Lavin. They’ve been checking out antique stores and markets across the world as well as hooked up with cool brands like Elise Bergman and Chop Shop to create exclusive items for The Find. Let’s be honest…who wouldn’t want an exclusive, limited edition, one-of-a-kind gift? (hint: this is what I want). And because Graham is such a lovely human, he picked his four favorite items from The Find to share with us today and why he especially loves these things.
CHOP SHOP MIXOLOGY CLASS + DINNER FOR TWO ($125)
“The new wicker park hot spot offers up an irresistible deal—a cocktail class for two paired with dinner.”
VINTAGE BRASS DEER SET ($35)
“The Find lead curator Chelsea Lavin found this matching pair peeking out from behind a bookshelf on an antique shopping spree road trip in Michigan.”
VINTAGE RHINESTONE EARRINGS ($25)
“Chelsea and I love anything glitzy and glam—these rhinestone earrings are the perfect sparkle to up the ante on your holiday party outfit rotation.”
VINTAGE GOLD RIM PLATE, SET OF SIX ($175)
“I lugged these back from Salzburg, Austria. That’s dedication for a good ass find.”
Because Graham and Chelsea have such awesome taste, this stuff is selling fast so be sure to get on The Find and get shopping.
Now I know there’s some things happening with Barneys right now that we will not discuss. We will only talk about the positive — that of which is the one and only Mr. Shawn Corey Carter…better known as Jay-Z. Not all that surprised the collection is mostly black and gold (but hey…I’m not complaining) and very luxurious ($33k watch anyone?)
Here’s a look at some of my favorite (and most baller) pieces.
JUST DON X BARNEYS NEW YORK PYTHON BRIM HAT ($875)
Because hats are much cooler when trimmed in python…
BARNEYS NEW YORK NYC NYC TEE ($70)
Although I’m team Chicago, I really can’t pass up a good tee…especially one designed with Jay-z…and that’s black and gold.
BALENCIAGA BOXY LEATHER BACKPACK ($1,645)
I don’t think you realize how much I love that string of 4 words together.
PROENZA SCHOULER CROCODILE TRIM DUFFEL BAG ($3,195)
In a game of “picking favorites,” Proenza will always win in my book (plus, it’s part croc).
You can shop the full Jay-Z Barneys holiday collection here and if python hats and croc-trimmed bags aren’t enough, Barneys is donating 100% of sales to the Shawn Carter Foundation, who helps students facing socio-economic hardships with post-secondary scholarships.
LET THE HOLIDAY SHOPPING BEGIN…
