When Erica first sent this to me I thought it was a joke. But funny guy Will Ferrell’s line of SPF 30 lotions is the real thing! Forbidden Fruit, Sun Stroke, and Sexy Hot Tan feature some pretty hilarious glamour shots of the comedian and not only will they provide you with proper sun protection, 100% of the proceeds will benefit Cancer for College. Sunscreen that comes with a laugh and a good deed?? Done.

Last week I was at LAX and had to stop a girl to ask where she had gotten her gorgeous & colorful bag. She was very excited to tell me it was from Papa New Guinea and was given to her as a gift by her friend when she had arrived there, which is customary. She said you could get them at the market’s for about $20. Upon further research, I discovered they are called Bilum bags. A Bilum bag is not only beautiful and unique, they also have cultural significance for the women of Papa New Guinea as part of their ongoing artistic expression and economic independence.
*fun fact. Until 1933 seashells were the currency in some regions of Papa New Guinea.

Gypset is “an international community of artists, designers, surfers, and bon vivants who live and work around the globe.” – and was coined by Julia Chaplin, author of Gypset Style. Filled with gorgeous and inspirational photographs from the past and present, Gypset Style is a fabulous reminder to live spontaneously and wander freely.

Welcome to our new blog–a joint project by my dear friend Lauren and me! Lauren (an LA based stylist) and I (a San Francisco based designer) have always shared a mutual respect for one another’s style, an obsession for all things unique & sometimes strange, and an appreciation for the excitement exchanged when a new fashion discovery is made by the other (hence the title of our blog–a term which is used over and over again whenever we unveil our new treasures and finds). It only made sense for us to join forces to create a daily blog, where we hope to share with you (and each other) what excites us, inspires us and makes us gasp: “HONESTLY….?!?!” Enjoy!
