Project Runway contestant Emily Brandle is half of the design team behind Smoke and Mirrors. The other half is Michelle Chaplin. They’ve been friends for nine years, and met while attending the Otis College of Art and Design in 1998.
They launched Smoke & Mirrors from LA not long ago and I love the designs they’ve […]
omg. omg.
How did I miss this? I glanced at the designers for this season’s project runway a couple days ago, but I must be going blind.
Leanne Marshall, whom I love and adore, is one of the designers! This is much more exciting than when I realized Rami Kashou is a name I recognized.
Leanimal is an […]
Oh my. This is one bright jacket.
Mongrels in Common has a great line for summer and a even better one for fall. I like the summer stuff because it’s based off this bright, happy yellow.
Maybe not OK for everything, but accent pieces like a jacket would be a great to any wardrobe.
Would you risk […]
Rose La Biche is an obsession for me. I love everything so much I’ve been looking at the previous collection for months, unable to decide which gorgeous tee I want.
Then today, the choice got even harder. Check out these.
Orchad, $75 and Sol, $75.
The Orchad design is super simple to me and the embellishments on this […]
Bodkin was introduced to me by the good folks over at Refinery 29.
So their site doesn’t say a lot about them, so I’ll repeat what Refinery29 said.
As it happens, the collection—co-conceived and created by designer Samantha Pleet and writer Eviana Hartman—is as organic as the friendship that’s grown between them. What began as an […]
Oh boy, how long I’ve loved Leanimal. I found the line on one of my etsy-random-clicking adventures, but the shop there was woefully understocked.
Come to find out that Leanne Marshall, the designer of this great stuff, has moved to Portland and has been doing e-commerce on her own site.
Whilst poking around her site, I learned […]
Locher’s, the naughty girl’s tee-shirt line, has a a new collection out for spring. I love these tops because they’re so very cheeky. They look chic, but when you get down to it, they’re super sassy.

Go shopping at Locher’s.

My fellow b5er Arieanna Schweber went to Vancouver Fashion Week and snagged a ton of photos. I’ll stray from my usual editorial jabbering, mostly because I know so little about these designers.
If anyone has info on any one of them, let me know. I’ll try to do some research and get you more about […]

When I started looking at Bryce and Bouji’s collection I was excited. It is a beautiful mix of soft and feminine with chic and slightly futuristic. There is lots of lace, organza and metallics. The dichotomy is strange, but beautiful.
I love the muted colors they chose, like the bronze in […]

Sam Trout is a friend of Ruffeo Hearts Lil Snotty, one of my recent obsessions. His work is pretty, simple and complex. He’s mainly working on printed t-shirts, with artsy details and sometimes decorative stitching.
My favorite pieces are the all-over prints. I can be pretty picky about prints, but Sam’s are light, delicate, […]
