If you’ve been looking forward to the day where “free,” “vintage” and “Chanel” can be put in the same sentence (or if you’ve ever wanted to know what a sequin Mickey Mouse looks like in earrings) then today’s your lucky day my friends.
In my first ever actually consistent multi-part series of gift guides this year, we’re now moving on from custom gifts to something more generic…but I’m going to [try and] make it more exciting. How many gift guides have you seen with junk under $100? If you weren’t on a budget before, everyone seems to be on a budget when it comes to the holidays, but that doesn’t mean you should compromise your gift giving. So, today I’m bringing you 24 gifts (for both the ladies and the gents!) under $100 that you’ll be proud to give this year (and when adding to cart you won’t feel guilty about “quantity 2” because let’s face it, you’ll probably buy something for yourself…it happens to the best of us).
My interest in fashion people doing non fashion things started with this Proenza Schouler surfboard pictured here. Made in the print seen in [what I believe is] one of the greatest collections of all time (Proenza Spring 2010), this made me think…if Jack and Lazaro can make a surfboard, what can other designers make other than clothing and accessories? You may be surprised…
Most people have the same concerns when it comes to working from home: getting easily distracted, not leaving your apartment, and when it comes to the creative industry, being uninspired. Well thankfully there’s nothing good on TV during the day, I tend to have plenty of meetings and events, and I’ve figured out a way to WERK from home.
So for those of you who are in the same boat (whether you’re in fashion or not) or those thinking about making the switch…I want to show you how you can WERK from home. It’s much more fun. I promise.
If you know me at all you’ll be very surprised to see what this post is about. Although I wouldn’t consider myself a kid-person (I speak to them like an adult and it’s awkward), I do love a well dressed child. With designer childrenswear lines on the rise from brands like Milly and Oscar de la Renta as well as kid street style blogs such as Hide And Go Style, I thought it would be fun showcase some my favorite kids in fashion. Why not start your Thursday off with some major cuteness?
