Unkle Karl Interviews Unkle Karl

Thank you Net-A-Porter for bringing us this awesome interview where Karl Lagerfeld interviews himself. And yes, it's just as great as that sentence sounds.

On a related note, I read The Beautiful Fall a few years back and I highly recommend it if you have even the slightest interest in fashion. It's a fascinating look at the rivalry between Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent - both geniuses in their own right - in Paris in the 1970's.

Tirana is on FIRE!

I know I just posted about how amazing Graciela's line is but she is on fire this week! First on NBC's website and now a write up for her Gear Earrings in the New York Times Fashion + Style section.

Suspended In Time: Tirana Jewlery

Romantic and mysterious with a hint of timelessness, Graciela continues to master the blending of industrialism's remains with superb aesthetic beauty. She was just featured on NBC's "Ones to Watch" where she gave some insight on where her elegance and sophisticated style emerged from.

"I have a penchant for old, obsolete machines," says Fuentes, whose work has a distinctly Victorian feel. "When I was a child in the '80s, the main steel foundry went bankrupt after operating since 1900. The foundry was right in the middle of the city and has since become a park with beautiful rusty machinery and mills scattered around -- I've always been drawn to the melancholic feeling that these kind of archaeological industrial sites exude."

In The Press: Lisa B Socks

NY Mag just did a lovely feature on our amazing Lisa B socks. They nailed it when they say these puppies are a best bet - they're comfy, cozy (a word I really can't get enough of when describing all I want to wear in the winter, as I'm sure you've noticed) and colorful. We've got polka dots, stripes and argyle style and above the knee and below the knee lengths. Pretty sure we've got a sock for everyone whatever your mood may be!

I personally love to rock the above the knee polka dots with boots, tights and a cute dress. Wham bam thank you m'am.

Beauty Is Embarrassing

Definitely looking forward to this documentary and getting a glimpse into this man's wonderful and inspiring head.

$110 - one size fits all

We just got some really cute tops in from Brandy Melville, including this I Heart America sweater. It's comfy, cozy and perfectly preppy. And a nice break from all the Native American prints you've been rocking real hard this winter.

Shit New Yorkers Say

Amen!

Active Child: Playing House

Mmmm, this song is so good. So ses-say! And I'm borderline obsessed with Active Child. Which is why I'm so confused about this video. All I have to say is, "Mr. How To Dress Well," how bout we turn down the cheese and fog machine and call it a day, mkay?

Well look at that!

We're super excited that NBC New York is featuring us on their website this week as a go-to shop for locally made jewelry! They filmed at our new LES home on Broome St. and feature NYC designer Jene DeSpain's Dakota Earrings (with green onyx). The host of the show Laurel totally fell in love with those earrings. And how appropriate she featured these earrings of all the earrings we have, as they are based on Manhattan's own historic Dakota building. And not only that, buuuut...
