Bholu

Posted by Luz on March 7, 2010


Happy Monday!. I found Bholu and immediately felt in love with their stuff animals and wall paper designs. Aren’t these monkeys, frogs and elephants the most adorable thing ever? I love the simplicity and the idea behind it.  They create beautiful products for your home while benefiting communities in need. Each piece is individually hand embroidered by a traditional artisan in rural communities of India, and part of the proceeds goes to Bholu Anganwadi Project which has now built a total of 8 pre schools in underprivileged communities. I love the work they do and the playful look to they stuffed animals. Check out their whole collection here.

Thomas Wylde Boots

Posted by Luz on March 7, 2010

When I first saw these boots I thought they had a really nice shape and then I looked closer and realized that the studs were actually skull studs. How awesome is that? This is how skulls work for women, they are subtle and shiny. They add funk to a traditional style and they are as “rock and roll” as they come. These boots are by Thomas Wylde and you can buy them at Net-A-Porter. Thomas Wylde is a brand created by Paula Thomas, a British model-turned designer dedicated to high quality fashion. The brand is not very affordable but I really like the details in the line, they all go together and create a solid collection every season. For more on Thomas Wylde click here.

Heritage Leather Co.

Posted by Luz on March 1, 2010


Here is a brand that makes handbags based on an utilitarian and vintage idea. These are made by Heritage Leather and sold at Hickoree’s. They come in different sizes, they are made with a heavy gauge canvas and a leather bottom. I like the details that went into them and how simply and functional they are.  They seem like a great bag to carry to the beach or on a weekend trip.  Check out these bags and more vintage inspired designs here.

Alexander Wang’s New Bags

Posted by Luz on March 1, 2010


Alexander Wang continues to make beautiful bags, here are my favorite bags of the season. They are made with supple leathers, metal zippers and have a very relaxed look to them. The deconstructed look and long strap bags are still strong trends, this is a beautiful mix of both movements. Even though they have a edgy look they are still very wearable styles that can be worn for years to come.  You can visit Alexander Wang’s website or you can visit Aloha Rack to get these and other designer’s collections. Aloha Rack is a great place to find designer brands that are elegant and easy to wear.

Loeffler Randall

Posted by Luz on February 28, 2010


Here are my two favorite pieces from Loeffler Randall’s Spring 2009 collection. Biker inspired jackets are still a strong trend, this one uses silver zippers to highlight the style. Jumpers are just starting to pick up as a style. I love women in jumpers but be sure to try them out before you buy them, not all jumpers are for everyone. This Loeffler Randall jumper has a boned bodice, side pockets and a leather belt, I haven’t seen it in person but this looks like a winner in my book. Check these and more of Loeffler Randall here.
