Hallelujah! We’re singing praises for the launch of Loeffler Randall‘s new handbag collection! Six fabulous styles will be available online starting tomorrow – we’re pretty much obsessed with each one but if we were forced to pick just one, the fringed “Shooter” bag would be my choice. But I’d take one in red too. And the studded “Rider” attaché as well . . . WTF, I’ll have them all.
Roberto Cavalli has always been the master of bold and exotic prints but his resort collection is somewhat of a pleasant departure from seasons past. Tuxedo tailoring and floor length bohemian hemlines came in bold, floral prints and porcelain-inspired, baroque patterns in shades of blue, purple and yellow. Bold chokers and sick shoes finished it all off. I’m absolutely dying over each and every single piece!
A couple summers ago, we stocked up on brass washers to make friendship necklaces. A year later, hex nuts became short in supply thanks to the hex nut bracelet. Today we’re all about compression sleeves, which are conventionally used in plumbing but also make for the perfect component for these statement necklaces. Striking, colorful, and fun, this tutorial won’t be able to keep you too far away from your local hardware store!
You’ll need:
- 25 feet of 3mm utility rope
- 12 – 14 pieces of 3/8″ brass compression sleeves
- 3-5 yards of 0.8-1mm chinese knotting cord
- 2 12mm x 16mm cord end caps
- 2-3 jump rings
- 1 lobster clasp
- gel super glue
- scissors
- pliers
In collaboration with stylist Kathi Kauder and photographer Sabrina Theissen, mixed media master Ashkan Honarvar created these mind bending collages for I Love You Magazine. Vanitas symbols are used in combination with elements of fashion and nature to find a balance between life and death. Honestly, WTF.
Inspired by the buzzing, fast-paced culture of New York City and the Bedouin state of mind of Marrakech, Scotch & Soda turned out a covetable collection of jeans, shirts and jackets for their denim line Amsterdams Blauw. I’m digging all the intense blue denim washes and especially loving the oversized hooded coat.
