Inspired by mythology and the relationship between women and birds, Amy Judd shrouds her work in mystery. And yet, each piece is so enchanting and calm . . . and just beautiful, of course.
Madewell Denim
Destructed, raw hems, bleach splatters, overalls, and super straight skinnies . . . the denim experts at Madewell have been working hard over the last year, developing 47 new styles for fall. Relocating their denim headquarters to LA has inspired the creation of a new denim quality that has been refitted with a ton of stretch. Sexy stretch. And after all of that fine tuning, Madewell is launching their online denim bar today – a new virtual shopping experience that includes style stories, denim facts, and free hemming services. Blue jean baby!
Paula Mendoza
Colombian jewelry designer Paula Mendoza has made a name for herself with her signature serpent bracelet, with graduated gold beads coiling up the arm like a rattlesnake’s tail. Her background in sculpture is evident in her designs, where natural and geometric elements are worked into uniquely ergonomic shapes and forms. Her latest collection, rich with gemstones like raw emeralds and onyx, is in one word: sick.
Hang Up Your Hats
Erica and I are both avid hat collectors, each with a collection large enough that we’re constantly grappling with proper ways to store them. I love the idea of hanging them on the wall as a method of storing and displaying them as art. All you need is a bare wall, in your closet, bedroom or entryway, and few large hooks! Hats have so much personality, why tuck them away?
