Corky Clutch!



I know there was just a huge snow storm but I am so ready for it to be Spring/Summer. There are so many new items coming in here at Kaight, and its a little crazy that I am falling head over heels in love with each one. The most recent purchase was this unbelievably amazing cork bag! Who thought cork would be good for anything besides keeping wine in a bottle and something to hold a thumb tack on? I am always amazed by the eco industry. Most eco designers find the most common materials and use them in ways I could not even imagine. Maybe that's why their the designers =) The trim of this clutch is made up of a wax burlap with a metallic finish. All products are made in the fabulous NYC! A big thank you to Jess Rizzutti who is the talented and creative designer of this fashionable cork bag, thank you for bringing something new and fun to the table! So be sure to keep an eye out for this clutch because I am 100% sure it will fly off the shelves! Amazing stuff here folks.. Goodness gracious I love eco-fashion!

Have a wonderful Thursday night!

Ciao,
Michele

BoxingChainey.

Just a little sneak peak at the new collection "Brooke Chainey"! These earrings are a one of a kind just like all Brooklynista designs. They are made of all vintage chains that I was able to dig up at a local thrift shop. The hooks are 14K fill. Price is only $22.. They are perfect for a night out on the town or to dress up the casual tee shirt and jeans look. All designs will be up on my etsy shop soon. So stay tuned!!

I'mSprung.





Spring has sprung.. well, for fashion for that matter.. Kaight just posted a new post telling all about this lovely ensemble that I am sporting. The new Loomstate Margarita dress, layered under that the Julie Vogel (the Park in ParkVogel) roll neck long sleeve tee and cinched at the waist with a Brave leather belt. We just got in these hott items and we're so in love we had to figure out a way for them to be worn in this freezing cold weather we got going on here! So thats how we decided they are both "BURRFECT" for layering! Paired with my Maggie's tights and lace up Swedish Hasbeens you just cant go wrong but, also pair it with a Brooklyinsta necklace (vintage chain and chain links) your..well.. READY FOR ANYTHING!!


Enjoy little Leo's tushie in the first pic of ensemb (short for ensemble).. hence why I am laughing.. Cute lil baby bomb!


Happy Monday All!!

WAKKKEee UP!

Some of my new favorite dresses have arrived! Of course, they are Dream and Awake! So I wasn't able to choose one favorite or even 2 favorites for that matter.. so I made it my four equally favorite dresses currently in stock at Kaight!



What I love about this one is that I would wear it both ways. The buttons are supposed to be the back of the dress but I have a feeling I would sooo wear the buttons in the front, just to switch it up from time to time. The pockets and pattern gives it that great summer bbq dress. unfortunately summer is so far away, wahh. So, I would pair it with brown tights, a cardi or blazer, and high boots to wear now.

I love the Tropicana feel of this one. I kinda wanna go away to a beautiful island and sit on the beach and sip pina colada's in this dress.. ahhh if only this was happening right now =( but for now I will pair with black leggings that wrap around the heel of the foot and an awesome pair of heels!

We call this one the "Tigger" dress. Loves it! Really feel as if this dress can be worn in any season. The coloring is amazing and would look awesome with some tights, riding boots, or sandals.

Almost all of the dresses come with a vintage belt. It just so happened that 3 of my fav's include handmade belts by the designer. I believe she either crochets or braids some scrap fabrics laying around the studio to create these awesome belts, which is and AMAZING idea! Am I right?
Here is another that I would pretty much do anything for. Again multi seasonal for my choice of style. I paired it with the Prairie Underground hoodie to give it that super casual/cute/friendly vibe. Also this lovely lady.. (well call her "Sunny".. I really love that name and that's what this ensemble is making me feel at the moment) is wearing a LuLu Frost plaza number necklace and the AK Vintage fringe necklace.


I will concluded this post with the Andean Collection bracelets because I feel like anyone of these could be paired with ANY one of those dresses. All bracelets are handmade in Ecuador from the Tagua nut. The tagua nut is a sustainable product collected after it grows into large pods emerging from the palm's trunk. No trees are cut down in this process, as the tagua pod is regenerative. Tagua is then hand dyed a wide spectrum, of colors and carefully crafted into unique jewelry, such as these beautiful bracelets!

** All the dresses are one-of-a-kind and do NOT come with sizes. The designer wants you to try it on and "if it fits, it's meant to be yours" which I find pretty cool! All dresses are $150 and bracelets are $25..

Which is your favorite?!
