1) For the first edition of Fashcap I shared denim line RE/DONE, a company that takes vintage Levi’s apart at the seams and re-sews them into new, flattering cuts. While I’m still a huge fan of the brand, their $200+ price tag is a little steep. Check out Urban Renewal at Urban Outfitters for the same concept at a much lower price. I love this frayed cropped pair and this pair with uneven hems has me swooning.
2) When did New York have the best style? Four fashion heavyweights debate the best era of sartorial expression in this article from New York Magazine. I especially love the chance encounter Linda Wells describes with Diana Vreeland (larger than life) while Rembert Browne makes a very compelling case for why Puff Daddy truly is a fashion icon.
What’s your favorite style decade?
3) What can I say, I have mules on the brain. Comfortable, versatile and chic, we’re going to be seeing more and more of them come fall. Two new lines I have my eye on are Mari Giudicelli and Alumnae. Want the look but not the price tag? Zara is killing it with their options. Check out these, these and these all for less than $90.
4) I’m a firm believer in lifting people up. When a mutual friend introduced me to Sklyer McCurine, personal stylist of Le Red Balloon, and Laura Johnson blogger of Distillerista, I immediately knew they were of my tribe. Kind, intelligent and taking the world by storm, Sklyer will help you reach your full potential through fashion, while Laura is a pioneer in her field, owning female run craft distillery You & Yours Distillery Co. Check them out and rest assured you’ll be hearing a lot more from them.
